SO EP:667 Bigfoot: Marvel’s Hairiest Hero

In this exclusive Pop Culture Edition of Sasquatch Odyssey, Dani dives headfirst into the world of comics to explore one of the most fascinating pop culture interpretations of Bigfoot: Marvel’s Sasquatch.

Created in the late 1970s, Marvel’s Sasquatch isn’t just a towering cryptid lurking in the woods—he’s Dr. Walter Langkowski, a Canadian scientist whose experiments unlock a transformation into a massive, orange-furred creature with superhuman strength.

A longtime member of Alpha Flight, Marvel’s premier Canadian superhero team, Sasquatch has stood shoulder to shoulder with legends like Wolverine and the X-Men, bringing the folklore of Bigfoot into the heart of the Marvel Universe.In this episode, Dani paints a vivid picture of the character’s design and evolution: the towering frame, the primal roar, the duality of man and beast. But more than just description, we dig into what this character means.

How does Marvel’s Sasquatch reflect our cultural fascination with cryptids? Why do we continually reimagine Bigfoot in new forms—from wilderness monster to sports mascot to superhero? Drawing on psychology and sociology, Dani explores how this superhero iteration taps into deeper human questions: the tension between science and myth, the fear and fascination of transformation, and the way folklore adapts to modern storytelling. By turning Bigfoot into a hero instead of a horror, Marvel redefined the cultural script, showing how the same legend can embody both primal terror and protective strength.

And, in true Sasquatch Odyssey fashion, the episode also asks: how do these portrayals ripple back into the real world? Could repeated depictions of Sasquatch as noble or heroic actually shape how people process their own encounters in the wild?

Finally, stick around until the end of the episode for a special surprise: Brian joins the conversation to share his take on Marvel’s Sasquatch, and how he sees pop culture constantly influencing real-life beliefs about Bigfoot.

This is an episode that blends comics, folklore, psychology, and the enduring mystery of the creature in the woods.

Whether you’re a Marvel fan, a Bigfoot believer, or just curious about how myths evolve, this Pop Culture Edition proves one thing: Sasquatch isn’t just hiding in the forest—he’s alive and well in the pages of our favorite comics.

SO EP:53 The Skeptical Sasquatch With Steven Streufert!

SO EP:53 The Skeptical Sasquatch With Steven Streufert!

My guest tonight is the one and only arch skeptic and Bigfoot curmudgeon Steven Streufert. Steven is a long time researcher of the Sasquatch phenomenon and often characterized as a staunch skeptic. The truth of the matter is he a self described Sasquatch agnostic and approaches the subject with an open mind and a critical thinking perspective that I find refreshing. We talk tonight about a myriad of things including his personal experiences in the woods, the Bluff Creek Project, his Facebook group Coalition for Critical Thinking in Bigfoot Research and much more. Check his blog for more on Steven and his bookstore Bigfoot Books.http://bigfootbooksblog.blogspot.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
