Perhaps one of the best known origin
cameos was a three-way brawl between the Incredible Hulk, mystical Wendigo and
the first of many spots that Wolverine would take up in the Marvel Universe.
While the action takes a while to get to, it features the mixing of science vs.
good ol' Canadian mysticism that Len Wein crafted and Chris Clairemont later
clarified.
Spawning two issues (#181-182) Wolverine,
or "Weapon X," is dispatched by the Canadian government to handle
Wendigo and The Hulk, who are both battling outside of Quebec. Wolverine teams
up for a minute with The Hulk to take down Wendigo, but quickly turns on this
team-up with the jolly green gamma giant.
Wolverine goes toe-to-toe with the Hulk and escapes with just a knock out before the Green Giant gets out of town. It'd be one of the rare three-way brawls to last in the Marvel Universe and introduced us to an iconic character that dominates all of Marvel's current marketing; it was also the basis for the animated Hulk Vs. film.
