@scy @StephanMatthiesen Never understood why the Marvel character of that name was so ripped

@ctietze @scy @StephanMatthiesen probably why he was the first character to keep the English name. Not even Die Spinne or Der Dämon (DareDevil) or Das X-Team got that back then.

@ctietze @scy @StephanMatthiesen Wait, second. Der Unglaubliche Hulk never got his name translated either.

@ctietze @scy @StephanMatthiesen X-Team even got germanified even more as Die Gruppe X in the 80ies.

@scy
Wasn't it related to Fjällfras (mountain cat or something)?

@RyunoKi @StephanMatthiesen Yep, fjeldfross or fjellfräs, “mountain cat”. Wiktionary says:

Respelled based on the folk-etymological belief that it had the same derivation as Vielfraß (“gluttonous person”).
