I'd assume Christianity, with its "good, powerful things are terrifying to behold" themes, but I admit that's a shot in the dark that I havent researched.
yeaaah it sounds like it shifted from "to make terrifying" to like. awe inspiring to just sorta very good from zhe wiktionary page
Awesome also did the second half of that, unsurprisingly.

supposedly this kind of thing just kinda tends to happen when negative words start getting used as general amplifiers. in this case it looks like it meant fear-inducing up until around the early 1900s when flappers were using a bunch of playful sarcastic slang (same with calling something "killer" as in super cool, e.g. "that movie was absolutely killer"). more recent example is stuff like "wicked!" or "sick!"
