Introduction:
Marvel comic’s Canadian bruiser started his career in the pages of Alpha Flight and have had countless other appearances since his introduction. Walter gained his powers trying to duplicate the process that created the Hulk, but in reality it opened a dimensional portal that allowed Tanaraq, an Elder God to transform Walter into his avatar. If Walter experiences pain or anger he runs the risk of Tanaraq taking control. Walter has been killed and resurrected in the body of a woman named Wanda and thankfully transformed back to a man. Another Sasquatch appeared in Alpha Flight Vol.2, but it wasn’t Walter but that of the big foot of myth. There is actually a clan of Sasquatches hiding in the forests of British Columbia

The actual bigfoot of myth believed to be Walter is figured out by Puck who stumples upon his family. The fist scan shows the durability of this Sasquatch taking a hit from a semi and not even budging from it. This is right after he jumps off the bridge and before he even really gets his feet settled.

So he creates a barrier blocking the gods from this world using the bodies he killed from a tv show [Survivor up North]. The North Gods are the same people as Snowbird, so cutting them off from her will weaken here. He also ressurects demons on the same level as Wendigo and Sasquatch takes it to them

True badass. Gath used his spell to unleash their inner-bad, and their power was twisted and augmented by one’s connection to the supernatural that's why instead of Heather transforming into Sasquatch, Tanaraq was freed

--------------------------------------------- Biography
--------------------------------------------- Marvel X-Men Encyclopedia [Vol.2]: Sasquatch (Exiles)
I find that interesting that she is considered not as bright as the 616 Sasquatch since she has done some pretty impressive stuff herself. Even currently in the Exiles title she is leading the team from the background even though she lost her powers. Also she is bulletproof as well as regenerative. I think they underated her in intelligence and durability. Click HERE! to see what the stats mean.

--------------------------------------------- Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: AoA 2005: Sasquatch (Exiles)
Meh! they have mixed bios for her, some say she is bigger and stronger while this says she is smaller and weaker. She is also a genius, as shown currently in the Exiles run. Click HERE! to see what the stats mean.

--------------------------------------------- Marvel X-Men Encyclopedia [Vol.2]: Sasquatch I
Wish they would address he was 100 class ton character, even recently he has battled people who are and went toe to toe with them [Current Jugz, who is still class 100]. Also he is super durable even taking armor peircing machine gun fire. So that's wrong.

--------------------------------------------- Avengers Forever #11-12: Sasquatch I
Sasquatch makes a cameo as an Avenger from the future or a different timeline. He is one of the good Avengers, and he must battle against an army of bad Avengers. Northstar is actually one of the bad ones. Well here Sasquatch is twisting this persons leg, but I have no idea who it is

--------------------------------------------- Alpha Flight #24 (Vol.1): Sasquatch I to Box v.3
After Snowbird kills Sasquatch [Tanaraq], they must now go to the Realm of the Great Beasts in order to free Walter's soul. This is a really cool visual design for the land. Just to note: Somon isn't killed, since he later appears several times [basically he is like Loki and tricks them], and Snowbird said she was leaving Earth was just covering up she was going to try to have a family with her husband on Earth.

Mr. Fantastic made to "restore most of the strength he used to possess". Sasquatch dominates him, even stopping Ben from even landing one hit. Headlok also mentions Sasquatch's power increase when he becomes angry "I feel Sasquatch's physical surge".

--------------------------------------------- Alpha Flight #45 (Vol.1): Alpha Flight [Sasquatch (Pestilence)]
After Heather had to kill Snowbird to stop Pestilence, he was free to possess a new body. His choice....Snowbird's Sasquatch form. Boch who usually commands Box just was given new legs and a new body by Lionel Jeffries that's why he looks a lot different than his other apperances. Walter in Box form admits that Box is not half as strong as Sasquatch, and the form Walter was in in the past and this current form could press 85 tons. So that proves the handbooks thats state Walter to be just 70 tons is false.
--------------------------------------------- Abilities
--------------------------------------------- Healing Factor Alpha Flight #75 (Vol.1): Sasquatch I
Fighting an alternate reality Vision created by Llan, he shows resistance to organ attacks while he was phased. Lil finished them off after she learned how to manipulate the reality after she was trained by Puck
--------------------------------------------- Alpha Flight #9 (Vol.3): Baymax [Sasquatch I]
Here Alpha Flight fights a mind-controlled Big Hero 6, we never did find out who was the cause of this. Sasquatch plays possum and uses his surroundings as a means to win
Nope, Tanaraq isn't dead as I mentioned Tanaraq even took control the next time Snowbird took his form (After she ripped out his heart). You can't kill a Great Beast. Even near the end of vol.1 when AF was fighting the Wrecking Crew Sasquatch made the comment the more he transformed into Sasquatch the more Tanaraq was taking control (AF #119). If you want I can get the scan
Well maybe Tanaraq is not deat but the Sasquatch form died I thought. Walter uses a diff. Sasquatch form now I believe. So when was the last time Sasquatch mentioned Tanaraq? I don't think it's been mentioned in 15 years or so.

"I am not afraid of the dark the dark's afraid of me"
He kinda uses a different Sasquatch form, but it was a form of Snowbird impersonating Tanaraq. When she took this form against Pestilence, he forced Tanaraq to take control over her body and with him and the rest of the Great Beasts attacked ALpha Flight. Sasquatch is merely an avatar for Tanaraq that he channels through, just like how Tundra in Alpha Flight #1 wasn't the real Tundra but an earthly avatar as mention in AF #24
It was mentioned in the fight with Mauvais, as he called Sasquatch a traitor going against the Great Beasts fighting for the Arctic Gods
edit: Somon has had his heart ripped out and head crushed yet he still lives and appeared during the Wendigo Mauvais battle when he was banished to the Realm of the Beasts
But didn't they banish the Great Beasts back to their realm? Are you gonna post Sasquatch's bio from the 2006 handbook? It gives a very well detailed history on Sasquatch.
