In the Canadian category, team Fighty Time! Fighty Time! will draft, the most awesome member of Alpha Flight, Dr. Walter Langkowski...

SASQUATCH

Vancouver native and most awesome of the Canadian super heroes (after the 'everyone's favourite' Wolverine). Anyways, a bit about him from Wiki

He possesses the ability to transform into a super-strong, orange-haired beast resembling the legendary Sasquatch. This transformation is triggered by willpower. In his transformed state, Langkowski has increased strength, stamina, and resistance to injury. He also has sharp claws and is able to leap incredible distances.
These powers were a result of Langkowski's self-experimentation with gamma radiation. In an attempt to become like the Hulk, Langkowski bombarded himself with a gamma ray projector at his laboratory near the Arctic Circle. As a proposed explanation for why he transformed into an orange instead of green behemoth (as gamma-irradiated persons are usually affected), Langkowski assumed it had something to do with the Aurora Borealis.
However, unbeknownst to Langkowski, it was not the gamma rays that turned him into Sasquatch, but the fact that his lab equipment opened a doorway between our world and the "Realm of Great Beasts." When this portal was opened, a mystical beast called Tanaraq invaded Langkowski's body and granted him his powers. Langkowski had to learn to maintain his own personality and intelligence when in the form of Sasquatch, and was very successful for a time.

And what's that? Oh, he's not BA Baracus enough for you?

In his Sasquatch form, Langkowski possesses superhuman strength and heightened endurance as well as high degree of resistance to injury that enabled him to go toe-to-toe with the Hulk and survive (In fact in an early appearance, Sasquatch fought the Hulk for "fun" in order to test the limits of his own strength.). He also has a healing factor.

He doesn't need some suit to make him rule. That is all.
