Whoa I didn't know that cool and gruesome backstory. Neat

 

me neither. There is more on the wiki page too..... most of the stuff happened after I stopped actively collecting but one really stuck out to me. It was an issue apparently where a group of Wendigos is confronted by Red Hulk, Grey Hulk, and even Green Hulk. Green Hulk gets bit and turns into Wendihulk == 4 "different" Hulks (plus Bruce Banner) in one book (Hulk #7) not to mention a slew of other people fighting this one character.

 

 

In King Size Hulk #1, it is revealed that a pack of Wendigo exist in the Bering Strait after Red Hulk is attacked by a Wendigo, attracted by his camp fire while cooking a meal. A Wendigo bites the Red Hulk on the shoulder and he bleeds hot radioactive blood. He shoots the Wendigo in chest a few times with a rifle and wounds the creature, but it uses its long tail to damage his gun's sight scope. Angered, the Red Hulk reveals he gets hotter the madder he gets and then kills one Wendigo; the others come to claim the body and eat it.[12]

 

The Wendigos begin their invasion upon Las Vegas.[13] Bruce Banner, on the trail of the Red Hulk, witnesses the Wendigo pack hunting the Casino area's big gaming room, all crouched about a water fountain with statues. Excited near a terrified girl, he transforms into the Grey Hulk. The Grey Hulk gets help in the fight against them from Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel, Sentry and Brother Voodoo. Knocked into some debris, later on the Green Hulk appears.[14] However, the Wendigos infect Hulk turning him into the "Wendihulk" who ends up attacking his fellow heroes. The heroes managed to cure Hulk and drive away the Wendigos.

 

 

I have never read a Red Hulk book. It was eye opening to find out he even existed. Perhaps Hulks are really chili peppers.

If I were designing the comic book coin, I would go with the Wally Pipp of comic books - Wendigo.

 

The guy is on both covers of the two main Wolverine/Hulk books but ends up as a "Where is he now?" villain living in a double wide. Poor bastid.

 

That would fit this offering to a T

 

But his memory lives on in the X-Men arcade game.

 

you know--- I don't think I ever read Hulk 182. As I recall, Wendigo was to fight the winner between the Hulk and Wolverine. Who won, did they fight? Or did Wendigo get relegated to video games and Hostess cupcake ads?

 

nevermind-- I need to stop asking obvious google questions

 

Fictional character biography

 

Several people have been afflicted with the curse of the Wendigo, including Paul Cartier, Georges Baptiste, Francois Lartigue, Lorenzo, Mauvais and others.

 

The curse is regional to the woods of Northern Canada and takes place, under the right conditions, when a person in the forests of Canada feeds on human flesh. This "Curse of the Wendigo" was created by the Northern Gods (also known as "the Inua") in an effort to deter human cannibalism.[3] The cannibal transforms into a superhumanly strong, nearly indestructible, fur-covered monster: the Wendigo. He or she then roams the woods eating human beings. The Wendigo has frequently fought the Hulk, Wolverine, and Alpha Flight. Paul Cartier transformed into the Wendigo, battled the Hulk, and escaped.[4] He battled the Hulk again and encountered Wolverine,[5] and then battled the Hulk and Wolverine; Paul Cartier was cured as college professor Georges Baptiste became the Wendigo.[6] He later terrorized a snowbound group.[7] He battled Wolverine, Nightcrawler, and members of Alpha Flight; the Baptiste Wendigo was captured and cured by Shaman.[8] Fur trapper Francois Lartrigue later transformed into the Wendigo, battled the Hulk when Bruce Banner stumbled across a cabin belonging to him, and Sasquatch, and was taken to be cured by Shaman.[9]

 

What's not so funny is the nutcase that decapitated a guy much smaller than him on a greyhound bus and ate some of him and whispered kill me because there was a documentary on TV about the Wendigo legend. I think he spent two years in the hospital and is walking around free right now as we speak....

does it matter who was bigger than who -- I mean, decapitating someone seems like a shocking thing to do no matter the size of the people involved

 

I think it does in a matter of doing something so freaking crazy. He obviously looked for the weakest target possible. Which is why I think he did it intentionally and should have been put in jail.

 

I mention the fact of size cause the killer was over 6' and the victim was 5'4

1 XRP = $0.015 USD

 

So for 4,000 Comic Book Coins you pay 0.25 XRP

 

Or $0.0000009375 USD per Comic Book Coin

 

So even if they issued all the 88,000,000 they planned as the long term cap, right now the total market cap for CBC is $81.84... Unfortunately, you can probably get a nice Avengers Annual 7 for this price, so they were right about that! :shrug:

 

Seriously worthy of a face punch.

 

So it is really possible for someone to buy them all, and cash in on a cheap book.

 

I think the best thing for OP to do at this point is sell the book and forget about this whole thing.

Good story, but the initial story in the Edmonton paper was linked with the Wendigo

 

Seems like that was pure speculation. The killer made no mention of it that I can see and came up with a different crazy story. Said god told him to kill that guy because he was an evil alien.

I stopped watching the it when it showed no movement at all in the first twenty minutes (when there should have been alot of bids). You do not need a ripple account to watch it you can go here:

and look for CBC. This is a retro barebones view that is easy on phones all you need to know is the coin name and wallet (if there are multiple) CBC currently only has one bid (same a previous) and no asks so it looks like they took down any coins for sale.

How much cooler would Hulk #181 have been if Wendy had EATEN Wolvie?

 

Huh?

 

HUH??

 

Those Marvel people, always afraid of showing the real face of cannibalism. Cannibals are people too, you know!

 

:mad:
