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.
