History

When the spoor of a mysterious lunar object which was recovered by the astronauts of the Icarus One made its way to the general population, Zeldow was one of those unfortunate enough to be compatible with it. Becoming a giant furry superhuman with the power of flight, and going by Wolf, Zeldow came into conflict with Mangog, another superhuman. Exhausted by the conflict, Zeldow passed out, but when, upon awakening, he was confronted by Dr. Emil Burbank, who tried to convince him to work for both their benefit, Zeldow transformed back and scared away the mastermind.

Zeldow's next contact with superhumans was during Hyperion's attempt to overthrow the American government. Through his efforts, a team of superhumans friendly to Nick Fury was alerted and fought back. He later went to the Middle East to fight a group of superhuman terrorists, but lost his abilities through unknown circumstances.

  • Superhuman Strength: As Wolf he has high levels of superhuman strength that enable him to engage in combat with the likes of Mangog and Hyperion.

  • Claws: As Wolf he has sharp claws capable of cutting even the invulnerable skin of Hyperion.

Abilities

Vaughn Zeldow is a trained psychotherapist.

• In both forms, he has a "spirit" that gives him special insights - he was able to detect the evil intentions of Emil Burbank and foresee Hyperion's coup.

Weaknesses

• Wolf's powers only last for as long as he can sustain. As soon as he runs out of energy, he reverts to his normal human form.
• Wolf may himself be susceptible to wordplay and other forms of mental manipulation

Notes

• Wolf, Ruler of the Winds is heavily based on the Thor character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
