Werewolf By Night: Marvel's New Monster-Fighting Antihero!
Marvel Comics is introducing a powerful new monster hunter with a fascinating origin story: Werewolf by Night. Jack Russell, the Werewolf By Night, is one of Marvel's supernatural heroes, a classic creature, and an animated series. Marvel Comics is continuing his adventures in this iconic Marvel Comics character.
What is The Backstory For Werewolf By Night?
This Marvel Universe character, also known as Jack Russell, has been a staple in the Marvel Comics, having first been introduced in Werewolf by Night #1, back in the Spider-Man 60s era. His origin story links back to a lycanthropy curse that transforms Jack into a green-skinned creature with amazing strength and savage nature under the moon's power.
Why is He Sometimes Compared to Hulk?
The Hulk has had many battles to deal with! While the Hulk character is linked to gamma radiation and anger-fueled transformations, Jack Russell struggles with his uncontrollable rage, making for some very emotional storylines. It is likely fans can expect a strong connection in how Werewolf by Night and Hulk are handled, similar to how Hulk struggles to manage gamma radiation that gave him superhuman strength. Both characters share a desire to manage their curse and redeem their actions!
Who is Jack Russel?
While his alter ego, the Werewolf by Night, may be a menacing character, Jack Russel is also a compassionate hero. But, things took a darker turn recently after the world was left in eternal darkness as part of the Blood Hunt, with an event involving vampires, the Darkhold, and even characters such as the Scarlet Witch and Agatha Harkness. With a renewed sense of urgency, his ability to manage his transformations is severely threatened, even to the point of threatening his friends! It's a darker path than Hulk, and this means fans are in for some gripping storylines.
What Kind of Powers Does Werewolf by Night Have?
The powers that drive the Werewolf by Night are extraordinary, featuring a heightened ability of immense strength, a fierce instinct to fight, and super speed. But what makes this a challenging character is that it also involves a struggle to maintain his human side. It's no small feat. Fans who love classic movie Monsters will love how Werewolf by Night, and monster hunter like Elsa Bloodstone, battle villains like vampires.
