Big Bad Wolf

Big Bad Wolf (true name Zeke Wolf ) is a fictional character who first appeared in Three Little Pigs, a folktale that can be traced to the eighteenth century. The tale was included in Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Tales by James Orchard Halliwell, first published around 1843 and seems to have become popular during the late 19th century. Variations of the tale appeared in the Uncle Remus stories by Joel Chandler Harris , though replacing the Pigs with Brer Rabbit. But the character's most famous incarnation (and theme song) was created by The Walt Disney Company. He most famously appeared in the movie Three Little Pigs. Then he appeared in all the sequels as a villain. He also appears in Lil Bad Wolf comic book stories as Lil Bad Wolf's father who wants his son to be as mean as he is but he can't live up to his father's expectations.
