![]() ![]() And he’s been around for quite some time.Īfter a car accident, Jack’s mother Laura confesses everything on her death bed. Instead, he’s a comic book take on the old tragic tale. And though the character eventually tussled with Spider-Man, various Avengers, and even became a member of the Midnight Sons, he’s still very firmly not a superhero. It’s exactly what you might expect of a werewolf story, even if it is with a Marvel twist. Jack’s lycanthropy makes him a dangerous man – often portrayed as unable to control his savage werewolf alter ego after becoming a werewolf for three days at the appearance of every full moon. A good choice considering the film’s obvious roots in early horror movie tropes. ![]() Jack Russell, however, is simply born with the curse already.Īlthough there are two different versions of the Werewolf by Night following a reboot in 2020, it’s the original Jack Russell version that reportedly features in the upcoming Halloween special. (And yes, by the way, Dracula exists in the Marvel Comics.) It’s a classic tale of a man being bitten by a werewolf, which passes on the curse. Werewolf by Night tells the story of Jack Russell – a man whose ancestors became lycanthropes after a chance encounter with Dracula… and a werewolf he had imprisoned at his Transylvanian castle. ![]() Werewolf by Night takes inspiration from all these and more. We’ve all seen the movies – An American Werewolf in London, Dog Soldiers, even the 1940s classic The Wolf Man. Marvel’s answer to the classic monster movie, Werewolf by Night is… well… a werewolf. ![]()
