Is it ever stated who the Humungus was?

That would have sucked! Humungous is the man! How could Wes have killed him, stab him in the back? Where was this hinted at in the movie?

Never heard how it would happen or at what point during production is was changed; only that it was intended.

As for hints, there's only small elements that remain: When Max is looking through the binoculars you can see Wez being totally flippant toward Humungous over something and telling him to f-off before riding away.

Wez, despite being in a fit of rage over the Golden Youth's death, is totally defiant toward Humungous' orders and just wants to forgo the plan and attack head on. Even going so far as trying to commandeer Humungous' vehicle which forces Humungous to choke him out(This could also have led to Wez having a resentment toward Humungous for denying him revenge when he wanted it most).

When Max makes a run for it, Wez straight out jacks Humungous' ride, leaving the boss behind. Not exactly something one who respects their leader would do. (This also pisses off Humungous as Wez is in chains the next time we see him.) Etc...

Lots of small stuff like that.

All that works perfectly in context of the current movie, so one wouldn't think much of them, but upon learning about the prior plan, scenes like that suddenly become threads that would give reason for Wez to decide he can get the job done better and usurp Humungous command(Wez is shown to be the headstrong type that might do something like that too).

I'm glad the movie ended up the way it did though.
