~ Bigby Wolf

Bigby Wolf, formerly known as the Big Bad Wolf, is the main protagonist villain of the Fables comic series, published by DC Comics.

Backstory[]

Bigby is one of the seven wolf children of the North Wind and Winter. When Bigby was young, North left Winter, leaving her to raise Bigby and his siblings by herself. While his brothers left to find the North Wind and learn from him, Bigby stayed behind to protect his mother's body after she died. After he failed to do so, Bigby vowed to grow stronger by killing something bigger every day. After eating Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother, a woodsman cut Bigby open and removed them from his stomach, so Bigby decided to only eat humans. For every human he hunted, Bigby grew unnaturally large, eventually being able to devour cities and kill dragons by himself. When he grew big enough, Bigby tried and failed to kill his father seven times, eventually deciding to forget his parents and be his own wolf. After finding a portal leading to the human world, Bigby used it to help other Fables escape the Adversary army that slowly took over their world. When offered to join the Fable community in the human world, using a magic knife to take human form and becoming the sheriff of the Fable town.

Powers & Abilities[]

  • Transformation: After using the magic knife to make himself human, Bigby can switch between several versions of his wolf form and his human form at will.
    • Superhuman Strength: In all forms, Bigby has immense physical strength. He can lift up other werewolves with ease and shred through most other Fables with his claws.
    • Superhuman Senses: As a wolf, Bigby has incredible senses of hearing and smell. He can hear people from miles away, and identify people by just the smell of their blood. His smell is so good that, when in highly populated areas, he has to smoke to dull his smell so he doesn't get sensory overload.
    • Near-Immortality: Due to being a very famous Fable, Bigby is nearly impossible to kill. He can shrug off being shot around forty times, and has came back from being cut open, filled with rocks, and tossed into a river for a week.
    • Healing Factor: As part of his immortality, Bigby easily heals from wounds. He can easily regenerate from having his arm shot, and even from being shot in the mouth by a silver bullet, which is one of his weaknesses. Somehow, this also works when he was turned into glass and smashed into pieces yet regenerated back to his form.
    • Huff and Puff: Bigby's Huff and Puff is the power he used in the tale of the three little pigs (though he was only a pup then, and could easily blow down a brick house now). The wind he breathes out is strong enough to knock over all the trees in a massive section of forest and cause hurricanes. Additionally, he can use it to "show the local winds who's boss", gaining control over them and allowing him to use them to do things like keep his prey downwind so he can smell them without them smelling him.

Alternate Forms[]

Half-Wolf Form[]

Bigby's most common form that isn't his human form, which he takes usually when fighting other Fables. His eyes turn yellow, his teeth sharpen, and he gains an increase in strength, speed, and endurance, along with sharp claws on his fingers.

Werewolf Form[]

A form that resembles a muscular humanoid wolf. When in this form, Bigby gains an increase in strength and speed, letting him battle Fables that his half-wolf form can't handle or chase Fables that his previous forms can't keep up with on foot.

Wolf Form[]

Bigby's most powerful and true form, which turns him back into the legendary Big Bad Wolf. In this state, Bigby is a wolf larger than an elephant and the size of a building, and gains an even larger increase in his physical abilities. In this form, Bigby was able to kill a dragon by himself, and can fight off packs of other werewolves single-handedly.
