Who Is The Dingo? Origin, Powers and Key Facts

The Dingo is a Cyclone Comics comic book character, the alter ego of Costas Borgas, with over 16 comic issue appearances. The son of gypsies, Costas Borgas's father was used by the Nazis for genetic experiments in WWII. As a result of this, Costas is able to turn into a werewolf-like creature.

Who is The Dingo?

Origin Costas first found out about his ability to turn into a werewolf-like beast when he was 38. One night, he was returning home with his girlfriend after a heavy night of drinking. As they walked, Costas's girlfriend told him they shouldn't go through the park, as there had been some murders by an unknown serial killer four times that week (which one of their friends thought might be a werewolf). Still drunk, Costas mocked his girlfriend, and pretended to be a werewolf to frighten her. As she ran off, Costas unexpectedly mutated into a werewolf-like creature, and didn't turn back to a human form until morning. There, he was found by a priest, who was angry that Costas had been drinking, and implied that he hated all drunks in general. That night, Costas apologised to his girlfriend for the previous night, but she said that she had reported it to the police. Combined with the fact that Costas had been found in the park that morning, this led the police (and Nightfighter) to assume that Costas was the serial killer who had been haunting the park.
