The Marvel Universe Handbook #10 (Vol.1): Snowbird (Immortal)
Old school Snowbird, it took a lot out of her to transform back in the day. Today she even has gone to the United States to battle the X-Men and she didn't depower. She also has been shown to talk in animal form showing that the animal's instincts are not overwhelming her. Finally she has been shown to switch from animal to another animal instantly such as a cougar transforming into Wendigo.

Hulk is completly raged, going berserk in downtown Vancouver even destroying several blocks. As mentioned, while mortal she can't fully use Tanaraq's body as she is no longer a goddess, but Mantlo who just joined the series made a few errors as Shaman's spell no longer worked after AF #24 as she became mortal, and thus isn't Tanaraq. Still a good showing as she took one punch and wasn't even phased.
