tapetum lucidum to reflect light back).
He had sharp claws on each of his digits as well as sharp teeth (with enlarged canine teeth).
Height: Unrevealed (approximately 15' tall)

History:
(All-New
Invaders#13 (fb)) - At some point (perhaps 1941-1946 A.D.), the giant
wolf man fought Hurricane (the alias used at the time by Makkari of
Earth's Eternals), Jack Frost, the Patriot and Red Raven.
Comments: Created by James Robinson and Steve Pugh.
So, what was
this guy? He wasn't referenced in the dialogue, which was just Makkari
discussing how he had been active alongside the Invaders and many other
heroes of that time.
- Was he a werewolf
that was just giant-sized for some reason? His well-kept uniform argues
against him being some savage, bestial creature, but perhaps he
retained his own mind?
- Was he a higher level spawn of Varcolac, the Wolf God/Demon, or a descendant of the ancient race of Wolf Men?
- Was he one of Asgard's Wolf Gods? And/or did he have power drawn from Fenris Wolf?
- Was he somehow spawned by the Godstone (aka the moonstone, moongem, weirdstone, etc. that empowered John Jameson as the Man-Wolf and Stargod)?
- Was he a product of magic or science (like the werewolves created by Nightshade)?
- Was he from a race of extraterrestrial wolf-men?
- Was he a human transformed into that form or was that his natural form?
- Was he a Nazi? His uniform/costume looks vaguely like something a Nazi would wear, but I don't see any identifying symbols.
Yes, we don't know much about this character, but he has a
really cool visual, so I'm posting him to hopefully draw some
attention. If/when more information is forthcoming, we can further
expland this profile.
Where did the struggle take place?
I was pondering the bombed out location of that scene - given that the Liberty Legion were primarily homefront heroes. It has the look of blitzed London or Stalingrad.
--Helena Nash
Agreed on the blitzed look. And
though they were primarily home front, there was at least one confirmed
exception where they would almost certainly all have been present
overseas in a bombed out landscape - Berlin, 1945, as depicted in The
Twelve.
The Twelve#1 confirms Red Raven was
present. The Twelve: Spearhead confirms Patriot too. And though the
other two weren't depicted, given how many other heroes were in
attendance it's not much of a stretch to assume they could have been.
