In Earth X , Multiple Man is transformed into one when he eats one of his own doubles to survive. He doesn't lose his self-duplication powers. Todd McFarlane infamously used the Wendigo as a poor, misunderstood victim during his Spider-Man run. An issue of Amazing Spider-Man , pencilled by Charles Vess, featured a demonic spirit called Wendigo who descended upon New York during a fierce blizzard.

No relation that we are aware of to Marvel's regular Wendigo. In the Amazing X-Men storyline World War Wendigo, a confrontation between two Canadian meat packing plant employees resulted in one accidentally killing the other. The perpetrator decided to cover it up by running the victim's body through a meat grinder, which ended up being consumed by several people, resulting in a mass break of the Wendigo curse.

We don't learn if he's under the curse or has a different origin, or anything else about him before he gets killed. In an issue of Spider-Woman , Jessica Drew visited a Canadian ski lodge, where an Evil Chef was serving human flesh to his unwitting patrons in order to invoke an outbreak of Wendigos. Drew managed to prevent most of the patrons from eating human meat by pretending to be a militant Straw Vegetarian , knocking morsels out of people's mouths while shouting things like "Meat is murder!

A run of B. This one is a particular Tear Jerker , since the Wendigo retains his memories as a family man, though he had been unaware that his family thought him dead and had moved on. He is told that he will eventually lose his humanity, and when he asks Abe and Hellboy to kill him, is told that it won't work, since the only way to break the curse and let him die peacefully is to kill someone else and pass the curse on. HB and Abe regretfully inform the Wendigo that they have no choice but to lock him up. The last shot of him curled up in his cell with nothing but a photo of him with his family for comfort makes this example something of a Woobdigo , particularly as it's clear he'll eventually forget who they are, and may be starting to already.

However, these "wendigo" are described more like The Fair Folk ; small, mischievous but relatively harmless tricksters who play pranks on people in the forest.

Ithaqua from the Cthulhu Mythos makes an appearance in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen when it accidentally takes over Allen Quartermain's body while he's astral-projecting. Ithaqua was perfectly happy to be a nightmarish mass in an infinite void of space, and isn't particularly pleased to be in Quartermain's disgustingly alien, human meat-body.

The obscure one-shot The Wendigo of Manitou Valley , notable for its cover depicting the eponymous beast fighting a robot.

The Buffyverse story Tales of the Slayer: Wendigo tells of a Slayer being called in pre-Columbian America. The Wendigo first appears to look like a regular person, but after Harry gives it a gift of three plucked turkeys it reveals its true form of a white haired, deer-headed giant. Wendigos are not incredibly popular among the supernatural world, so they have to hide themselves very well and a modern city like Chicago is basically a giant buffet for a Wendigo, which can sustain itself on the dozens of all-you-can-eat restaurants that populate such areas.

Several wendigo, portrayed as lanky and pale humanoids with elk skulls for heads, appear in The Luna Syndicate , which is part of The Calvinverse series. They hunt in packs, can walk on walls, and have the ability to mimic humans to lure their prey into a trap one pretends to be a crying little girl to lead the main cast to its pack.

They are also influenced by a red star like all the other monsters.

The American horror movie titled Wendigo. The Wendigo in this is a deer-headed man that may or may not exist. The movie leaves it up to the viewer but the more likely explanation for the cannibals in the movie are real psychological problems.

Ghostkeeper , where an insane woman keeps the Wendigo that was once her son locked in the basement. Someone can turn into a Wendigo after experiencing a devastating personal betrayal or by looking into the eyes of one in Maneater. The werewolves are assumed to be these in Ginger Snaps Back: He eats human flesh, and at point eats the heart of main characters's brother in front of him , so his conclusion is understandable.

Troma created a movie in the late 80's named Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo. It has less to do with monstrous cannibal spirits, and more to do with killer animated pots of chili, however. Blackwood's short story was the inspiration for The Wind-walker. The second book in the gory Monstrumologist series is called Curse of The Wendigo.

A "neither living or dead version of the Wendigo" is the main antagonist.

The Native American Legend Of The Wendigo — The Frostbitten Monster Of Your Nightmares

In that story, the Wendigo is more of a spirit of wind and frostbite, although there are still cannibalistic overtones the two men are starving. The Wendigo calls you out of the tent with its eerie, windblown song, and drags you along the ground until your feet burn, then carries you up into the sky and drops you. Oh, my fiery feet! My burning feet of fire! Diego lifted up the hat, and screamed.

In the season 1 finale, Will hallucinates that Hannibal is a humanoid Wendigo, with a black, emaciated body and antlers. The humanoid Wendigo then continues to symbolize Hannibal in Will's dreams and hallucinations in season 2. Apparently, their ancestors inspired the Native American tales of the Wendigo. In Teen Wolf , a family of Wendigos briefly appear before being murdered.

From what was shown, they are usually nice people as long as they're able to regularly eat human flesh. Otherwise they gain Horror Hunger , a bad attitude, and some new teeth.
