Not Yeti Friday - Yeti-ish Supervillains

Sometimes superheroes contend with supervillains that aren't yeti. Here are a few notable examples. Think of them as yeti rejects.



Kolomaq, what fought Alpha Flight



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The Snow Fiend, what fought Hawkman, he whose rivalry with yeti I previously blogged about.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Man-Wolf, what fought Spider-man.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And now the moment you've all been waiting for... you must have guessed it was coming... A look back at the Greatest NOT YETI Supervillain of all time!!!...

...Ultra-Humanite!

He what fought Every Single DC Comics hero. He is not a yeti, but rather a mad genius human inside an albino gorilla's body.

I previously blogged about him in 2006, and I'm curious what the last 5 years has done to him.

    Conan vs. Yeti

    A while ago, I saw these magnets and I was like, "Conan fought yeti?!" And a reader named rozum was like "Yup" and he most graciously pointed me to where it happened. Namely, pages 31-35 of King Conan, issue 15.

    Throg vs. Yeti

    Throg is Frog Thor.

    The frog version of Thor.

    I'm not making it up. Google it.

    Anyway, at one point Throg seeks the guidance of a wise mentor and it turns out to be yeti.

    Let's make yeti versions of all superheroes. Let's.

    B.P.R.D. vs. Yeti

    I love the artist Guy Davis. Fellow can draw monsters like nobody's business. All I gotta say is: People better think twice before they draw monsters knowing Guy Davis is out there doing it.

    You can't imagine how pleased I was to see yeti showing up in his run on B.P.R.D. (tpb vol. # 11: "The Black Goddess").

    And Mr Davis does right by the yeti, my Yes. They really rock the house, brawling frog-men like it was the national past-time.

    If you didn't know, B.P.R.D is a comic book series about the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, a kind-of spin-off from Hellboy.

    Wolverine vs. Yeti



    "Oh, but Henry, that's Wendigo, NOT yeti!"

    You're correct. I think the reason the Marvel superheroes haven't gone up against yeti all that much is because Wendigo fits the bill so well. Who needs yeti when you got Wendy?

    I mean, he basically is yeti. With a tail. And North American.

    Just like the Wampa, Marvel's Wendigo is an honorary yeti in my book.

    Here's more of that Wendigo fightin' that Wolverine. Reowww!

    Also, check out this poster of him in melee with Sabretooth, Wolverine's dad (I think).

    Look at that gorgeous white fur in the sunlight.
