Line 6:
Created by Robert Kirkman and Jason Howard, this [[Comic Book]] begins with a fairly simplistic concept: a werewolf superhero. What most product descriptions don't tell you, however, is that over its short-lived 25 issue run (July, 2007-November, 2010), the book quickly veers all over the place into multiple unexpected (and [[Darker and Edgier|arguably darker]]) territories very early in the series. Written by Robert Kirkman, famous for [[The Walking Dead]], the series is tied into the larger [[Image]] Comics superhero universe, and features frequent recurring characters from Kirkman's other work, [[Invincible (Comic Book)|Invincible]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptive Armor]]: Mecha-Maid can transform into this to [[Power Fist|awesome]] [[BFG|effect]].
Line 50 ⟶ 49:
* [[Look What I Can Do Now]]: Gary when he {{spoiler|fights Zechariah and uses his training to bite off Zech's arm for good.}}
* [[Millitary Rank Superhero Villain Names]]: Sergeant Superior, one of the Actioneers.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Gary goes through this when he realizes {{spoiler|''[[Consummate Liar|Zechariah]]'' has been lying and keeping things from him.}}
* [[Never Got to Say Goodbye]]
* [[No Holds Barred Beatdown]]: Several fights, but particularly the final duel.
Line 60 ⟶ 59:
* [[Power Limiter]]: Gary is placed in one when {{spoiler|he goes to jail.}} It keeps him from using his wolf form.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: The general undertone of the series from #7 on.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers]]: [[Invincible (Comic Book)|Invincible]] mentions this during a crossover with The Astounding Wolf-Man. When Wolf-Man asks if Invincible will get in trouble for breaking government property and beating up superheroes, Invincible shrugs it off, saying that as long as he's strong enough to save the earth, he gets a pass.
* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]]: Gorgg. More like "Sealed Evil In a ''Stonehenge''"
* [[Ship Tease]]: {{spoiler|Wolf-man}} and {{spoiler|Mecha-Maid}} started to get ''really'' close when they were working together. The cover for [http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/3/38780/1183193-astounding_wolf_man_22_super.jpg #22] really takes the cake though because {{spoiler|that [[Covers Always Lie|never happens in-story]]}}.
