7 Superheroes Who Could Thrive On Television

Monsters thrive in pop culture because of their appearance. Humans are vision-based animals, and seeing these deformed creatures manifest in front of us almost automatically grants them a stake in our memory.

Many comic book companies have tried to capitalize on their iconicity through adapting them into the world of superheroes. One of the better examples of this was Roy Thomas’ Werewolf by Night, which focused on Jack Russoff, an ordinary man who inherits a werewolf curse from his past family.

Werewolf by Night has remained a decent, if under-appreciated figure in the Marvel canon, and a television show would certainly go a long way towards rejuvenating him. Though his lack of popularity may not put him at the top of the studio’s list, we can certainly see there being a fanbase for this one.
