** Maybe. A group called the Order of the Stone did some sort of magic ritual with the Spear of Destiny, causing Cain to be reborn in Savage. Whether he actually was Cain, or just being possessed or something, is up in the air.
** Cain is also theoretically present in the DC verse due to his presence in ''[[The Sandman]]'', where he and Abel became part of Dream's realm. It's implied, however, that he and his brother aren't the biblical Cain and Abel, but are instead symbols of the first sentient being to ever willingly kill another member of its species. They were then inducted into the Dreaming as the archetypes of the original murderer and victim, so while we see them as Cain and Abel, other species would see someone else. One character describes their existence as the "ghost of a memory of someone who, one suspects, never existed in the first place", as a result this is feasibly compatible with the above fact about {{spoiler|Vandal Savage}}.
* Invoked in the civilian name of Marvel's Juggernaut -- Cain Marko -- and his (former) relationship with his half-brother, Professor Charles Xavier of the [[X-Men]].

** Adam (as in, the first man) is [[Light Is Not Good|leader of the Exorcists]], a [[Knight Templar]] in charge of slaughtering Hell's residents during the annual purge. Utterly without mercy, it is hinted that he has a personal vendetta.
** [[The Devil|Lucifer]] (Charlie's father) seems to at least be partially based on his depiction in the Book of Isaiah, being a [[Fallen Angel]] (confirmed by [[Word of God]]) with six radiant wings.
