Powers; In his Sasquatch form Langkowski possesses vast superhuman strength and heightened endurance. When completely possessed by Tanaraq, Sasquatch was several times as powerful. Sasquatch is also highly agile and able to jump great distances. His resistance to conventional injury is superhuman in this form.
Early in his career, changing from his human form into his Sasquatch form caused Langkowski extreme physical discomfort. To alleviate the pain, Langkowski recited a slow mantra which served the same purpose as a yoga practitioner concentrating to calm the body and to divorce pain from the physical body. Since taking over Snowbird's original body, he can now achieve his Sasquatch form with relative little pain or effort.
Abilities; Langkowski is a professionally trained scientist with experience dealing with many forms of experimental radiation and their mutagenic effects on lifeforms under controlled settings. As a former professional football player, Langkowski has highly athletic physical strength and endurance, though he is no longer in the peak condition of his life.

NOTES: Sasquatch was one of the Founders of the Canadian Super-team, Alpha Flight. He was in the team for most of the run, including a time when he was reborn into Snowbirds body and became Wanda. He was there when the team was "killed" by the Collective and was the only one to survive. He later helped form the new team of Omega Flight with Talisman being the only other non-American member and he lead the team.
