Chinook (Earth-616)

Chinook was one of the few Golden Age Canadian heroes, who retired after the war. His motto was "Out of darkest nights -- `Gainst the Northern Lights -- From gusts on high -- O`er Canada's sky -- soars the man they call... Chinook!"

Chinook had retired years before but when an accident with an experimental device known as the Cosmic Ray Collector in Orloo endangered life, he returned to active duty. During his attempt to destroy the device but was instead mutated into an insane monster with incredible power. It was only through the actions of James Hudson, Wolverine and Eugene Judd that he was stopped, sent through the black hole the Collector was creating.

Years later, Orloo was being hit with extreme winds, endangering lives and doing massive property damage. This was after the community had been experiencing unusual tremors for weeks beforehand. Alphans Guardian, Vindicator, Puck, Manbot and Sasquatch were sent to investigate. There they discovered Chinook had managed to escape somehow and was more powerful and demonic than ever. He was finally beaten when Sasquatch tore him in half.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Chinook could initially manipulate wind so that he could fly (similar to Storm) at about natural winged flight speed. He had at least peak human durability with a retarded aging factor (similar to Captain America). He also demonstrated other wind-controlling powers.

After his mutation from the overloaded Cosmic Collector, he grew to double his size. His command of the wind was considerably stronger, displacing winds nearby just by his prescence. Chinook's anger and rage became his prime emotions and he hungered for lethal and violent vengence. He also had superhuman regenerative durability, being able to withstand energy weapons and plasma blasts. He also possessed super-strength and invulnerability.

Abilities

Before his transformation Chinook appeared to have peak human-level strength, being able to easily pick up another person while in flight.

Paraphernalia

Equipment

Before his transformation, Chinook wore a yellow visor to protect his eyes from the adverse effects of wind.
