John Jameson (son of Super-Man cast member J.Jonah Jameson) turned into
Man-Wolf for at time I believe, but I don't think he was considered a
were-wolf

Wolfsbane (formerly of NEW MUTANTS and X-FACTOR) was sort of a werewolf.

Nightshade, an occasional CAPTAIN AMERICA villainess, has a gift for changing
people into werewolves and controlling them. She turned Cap into a werewolf
towards the end of Gruenwald's run, and a couple of other times in the 70s.

If you want actual, magically created werewolves, there were three or four
other werewolves who appeared briefly in the original Werewolf By Night
series. They're all dead or cured now. There was a WBN story in Marvel
Comics Presents in which Jack Russell hunted down a gang of werewolf bikers
that he had accidentally created earlier when he had attacked and wounded
them while in werewolf form. They're all dead now too. Doctor Strange
briefly became a werewolf himself, but was cured. In the Spider-Man comics
there was the Lobo twins. Although they claimed to be mutants rather than
magical werewolves, they offered no proof to back this up. It's more
likely they really were magical werewolves who were just rationalizing
their origins to themselves. One brother is dead, but the other survives.

As for non magical werewolves, there's Wolfsbane from the X-books. She's a
mutant whose alternate forms are wolf-based, and she's still around. In
the Captain America comics, Dr. Nightshade turned dozens of people into
chemically-based werewolves, including Falcon and Cap himself. All have
since been cured. And there's the Man-Wolf, the only other werewolf at
Marvel besides WBN to have had his own ongoing series. The Man-Wolf (aka
John Jameson, son of J.Jonah Jameson from the Spider-Man comics), was the
avatar of an extradimensional Stargod. John Jameson has supposedly been
cured, but he's had a couple of relapses to his Man-Wolf form, suggesting
that his particular lycanthropy may only be dormant.

Raymond Coker was a semi-regular in the original, beloved WBN. Also, Jack's
sister Lissa was arguably a werewolf, although that got a little complicated.

Man-Wolf, who was actually John Jameson (J. Jonah Jameson's son) was an
astronaut who turned into a silver-furred werewolf.

I would imaging you know a hell of a lot about hallucinating too.

Some people seem to miss the obvious solution to
the question that being they're shape-shifters.
Just like if you were raised with Japanese
culture & language, you're likely speak Japanese
& think Japanese culturely. Likewise, these
mutants probably either emersed themselves into
the werewolf culture or were raised into it before/
during/ or after puberty & used their main mutant
ability of TK & TP & ability to generate tacyion
{tachyon} field(s) FOR SHAPE-SHIFTING in form of
a werewolf. IT seems simple enough. As for Wolfs-
bane of X-Factor, she's at 10 points or 2 points
more than Hammerhead [8] or 3 points less than
Tombstone [13].

In what issue did Doc Ock call Spidey "Super-Man"?

I agree. I didn't read the comics, but I read the MARVEL UNIVERSE entry about
Los Lobos and found it odd that they could be mutants, yet have the same
eccentricities as supernatural werewolves (transforming to the full moon,
allergic to silver). At least Man-Wolf's tried to rationalize him.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the responses. Actually what i was looking for
were serious issues with werewolves in them, i.e. the Werewolf By Night
miniseries from a couple years back.....

What do you mean by "son of Spider-Man" ?

Last Spiderman issue I read was MJ being
pregnant & being examined by doctors;
never did find out the gender of their
child. And, what's the story with this
Spidergirl story ? When it first came
out, I just assumed the artist drew
Spiderman wrong as a girl : damm, I thought
it looked like a young lady rather than
as a guy in a Spiderman costume. I figured,
maybe, since I dont' get sex too often,
I was seeing Spiderman as Spidergirl : so,
it, really, was Spidergirl on the front
cover & NOT Spiderman. Damm, I thought
Spiderman's chest looked different : it
looked like a young woman's breasts. Either
that or the artist drew Spiderman as girl.


Nice to know I wasn't hallucinating.

Yep, but in appearance only. Nothing she did had anything to do with the
supernatural.

See "cast member" -- son of Spider-Man cast member J. Jonah Jameson.

If by "serious" you mean "Vertigo-esque", then the answer is no, since
Marvel doesn't usually publish that type of story. But if you want a good
adventure tale with a werewolf as the hero, I recommend the Man-Wolf two
parter in Marvel Premiere #45-46, as well as his earlier stories in
Creatures on the Loose #30-37.

Remember Cody from Spirits of Vengeance? He was something of a werewolf as
well........only his first transformation was permanent, although it was due to
stress, and not the full moon...hell, I dunno.....
