Wendigo's History

The Wendigo are the result of an ancient curse laid down by the Elder Gods [citation needed] of Canadian folklore that transform any person who eats the flesh of another human being in the Canadian wilderness into a massive, fur-covered humanoid beast with fangs and razor sharp claws. A person can also inherit the curse of the Wendigo if they are bitten by a Wendigo and survive.

The earliest known Wendigo dates back at least a million years ago. Unlike other Wendigo, this one had control over his transformation and could shift between his man and Wendigo forms at will. He did battle with the earliest known Ghost Rider, which ended when he fell into a deep ravine but claimed that he would survive.
