Man-Thing has a comic book history rife with possibilities beyond his first MCU appearance in WerewolfByNight.
Werewolf by Night is Marvel Studios' latest release, a special feature that Marvel demigod Kevin Feige insists is something new in the MCU, the first feature to explore the horror side of Marvel's rich stable of characters. The feature stars Gael Garcia Bernal as Jack Russell, a man who, thanks to his ancestry, turns into a werewolf, a Jack Russell terror if you will, every three nights of a full moon.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The Man-Thing/Swamp Thing Coincidence So, Swamp Thing, right? No, but it's one of those no, not really, kinda/sorta stories. Man-Thing, from Marvel, debuted in Savage Tales #1, May 1971. DC's Swamp Thing debuted in House of Secrets #92, July 1971.
The Nexus of All Realities One of his first adversaries was Thog the Nether-Spawn, a demon inadvertently brought to Earth by the actions of young witch Jennifer Kale and her brother Andrew, and after winning their battle, Man-Thing threw Thog back to Sominus, his home dimension. Unfortunately, the portal remained open, with demons taking over human minds and souls, so in an effort to close the portal, the Kales prepare a ritual.
Since then, Man-Thing has been involved in events both supernatural and earthly: realigning, and fixing, the Nexus of All Realities, defending the swamp, settling a satyr's two-century-old curse on the crew of a pirate ship, fighting more demons, meeting a race of Yetis in the Himalayas, and restoring all existence after existence was wiped out by Termineus. He has crossed paths with the likes of Korrek, Howard the Duck, Iron Man, the Micronauts, Baron Mordo, Dr. Strange, and the Thing .
Perhaps most interestingly, and a plausible next step for the character after Werewolf by Night, is Man-Thing's comic-book association with the Legion of Monsters, consisting of himself, Ghost Rider, Morbius, and Jack Russell's Werewolf. Feige has insisted that the special will be a pivotal moment in the MCU, and it's hard not to think that with the introduction of two members of the group that the other two couldn't somehow fall in.
