== [[Comics]] ==
* In Marvel Comics, anyone who eats human flesh in the frozen north becomes a Wendigo. The creature is best known as a villain of the [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] and spinoff team [[Alpha Flight]], but has tangled with [[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]] and others. In fact, he seems to be the standard villain for superheroes visiting Canada. It's well-known for shouting its [[Catch Phrase]]: "[[Pokémon-Speak|WEN-DI-GOOOO]]!"
** It's a common [[Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|Incredible Hulk]] villain too, having made its first Marvel appearance in his book. (And its ''second'' story in that book was the first appearance of [[Wolverine]], giving the association more historical weight than it might otherwise have.)
** In ''[[Earth X]]'', Multiple Man is transformed into one when he eats one of his own doubles to survive. He doesn't lose his self-duplication powers.
** ToddMcFarlane infamously used the Wendigo as a poor, misunderstood victim during his Spider-Man run.

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* The ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E13 Hearths Warming Eve|"Hearth's Warming Eve"]] features equine blizzard spirits called Windigos that, however, feed not on flesh but [[The Power of Hate|hatred]]. Whether their origin is natural or [[Fridge Horror|closer to their]] [[Was Once a Man|mythological roots]] has thus far gone unaddressed...
* The Wendigo character appeared in an episode of [[Wolverine and the X-Men]] where [[Nick Fury]] sent Wolverine to hunt down the [[The Incredible Hulk|Hulk]] in Canada after a team of his goes missing, only for Logan and Bruce Banner to find the Wendigo behind the disappearance and ''transformation'' of the SHIELD agents into Wendigo themselves. {{spoiler|They eventually discover that the WENDIGO project was an attempt by shield to create super-soldiers that went wrong and cure the victims. Logan figures out that Fury knew all along and shows his displeasure by punching Banner in the face to trigger his transformation for Fury to deal with. Even being knocked into the next county by the Hulk doesn't spoil his glee at one-upping Fury}}.
