Wendigo vs. Cyclops
 
Wendigo:


Quote:
It is a malevolent cannibalistic spirit into which humans could transform, or which could possess humans. Those who indulged in cannibalism were at particular risk,[2] and the legend appears to have reinforced this practice as taboo.

Wendigo Psychosis is a culture-bound disorder which involves an intense craving for human flesh and the fear that one will turn into a cannibal.

Cyclops:



Quote:
Another possible origin for the Cyclops legend, advanced by the paleontologist Othenio Abel in 1914, is the prehistoric dwarf elephant skulls – about twice the size of a human skull – that may have been found by the Greeks on Crete and Sicily. Abel suggested that the large, central nasal cavity (for the trunk) in the skull might have been interpreted as a large single eye-socket.[7] Given the inexperience of the locals with living elephants, they were unlikely to recognize the skull for what it actually was.

Wendigos were able to turn the Hulk. You don't mess with them.

I guess just one for Cyclops here. Unfortunately he's kind of used to that.

I feel like the Cyclops is at a major disadvantage, he only has one eye! All you have to do is take out that one eye and he is down and out.

Damn, I was hoping that the Cyclops would only get one vote because it would be fitting..

I had to go for the Cyclops, it's sheer size alone would be a match for the Wendigo. And the picture used was out of one of those old skool films I like.

Plus I never heard of a wendigo before, sure it looks scary but I can not take a monster with a name like that seriously, it sounds :gay:

Ooh Wendy.. go...

Wendy is a girl's name, so if a guy says it, he can't be gay.
But keep trying.
