HistoryEdit

The sister of Paul Cartier, a Canadian hunter who was transformed into the Wendigo after performing an act of cannibalism when he and his friends Georges Baptiste and Henri Cluzot were trapped in a cave be wolves.

Unaware of this she would mistake the Hulk for the Wendigo and attack him with a group of hunters. Learning what was going on the Hulk would agree to help her find her brother. He would instead find Georges who would tell Marie the fate of her brother. Despite the Hulk's best efforts, he could not save Paul from the curse of the Windego, and Paul's mind would be completely dissolved by the creatures consciousness^[1].

Marie would become obsessed with freeing her brother, and blaming Georges for his brothers condition she would force him into helping her find a cure. Marie however was completely unaware that the reason why Georges went along with her quest was because he had fallen in love with her. She would learn of the mystical spell needed to free her brother from the curse, however it would require that someone else take the curse in his place. Marie would lure the Hulk back to Canada and trick him into participating in the ceremony, however this would be complicated when the Hulk and Windego would get into a fight. This fight would prompt the Canadian military to send in their operative Wolverine to stop the battle^[2].

The battle would end in both the Hulk being knocked out and reverted back to Bruce Banner. When Georges realizes that the Hulk is already a man cursed, he would refused to help Marie and run off. Banner would transform into the Hulk once more and continue his fight with Wolverine, while Marie would seek cover in the cavern. There she would find that Georges had completed the ceremony using himself as the person to accept the curse. Georges reveals that he did it for Marie out of love, before running into the wilderness leaving Marie and Paul to mourn for their friend^[3].
