Although his mother is an insect-like humanoid, he resembles a Viltrumite/human with purple skin (later fades to pink). His mother tells his brother to take him to Earth, so that he can have a life with the people there, because their lifespan is longer than her people's, and he gets adopted by Debbie.

* **The Guardians of the Globe**
	+ **The Immortal**: Apparently unkillable leader of the Guardians of the Globe. Currently is married to Dupli-Kate. It's suggested in flashbacks that one of his past identities was in fact Abraham Lincoln. In the present storyline, he is alive.

Dragged by one of the extra-dimensional Invincibles into the Shadow-verse, this new Darkwing is later revealed to be alive and aged from the experience.

## The Astounding Wolf-Man characters

* **Gary Hampton aka "Wolf-Man"** – the main protagonist of the series; a successful businessman-turned superhero following an incident that left him with werewolf abilities.
* **Rebecca Hampton** – Gary's beautiful wife. Killed in Issue #7 by Zechariah; who she struck across the face after expressing her disdain for him; Zechariah, momentarily blinded by rage, responded by hitting her across the face, breaking her neck, and then fatally biting her neck, causing Rebecca to bleed to death.
* **Chloe Hampton aka "Vampire Girl"** – Gary's loving daughter, she is close to both of her parents.
* **Dunford** – The estate manager, butler and lifelong friend to the Hampton family; formerly a businessman whose company was bought out by Gary during his rise in the business world, Dunford was actually offered a position in Hampton Industries, but chose to retire instead. Following his wife's death, Dunford, who was friends with Gary by then, was invited to stay with his family as their estate manager. Dunford is Gary's closest friend and sees him as a kind and generous man who has only ever wanted to help people; a belief that leads to him to be the (initially) only one who believes Gary's innocence following Rebecca's death. Dunford is made Chloe's legal guardian during this time, and ultimately is successful in getting her through her grief. Killed in Issue #22 by Jacobsen and the werewolves following their attack on the Hampton estate. Gary, Chloe, Mecha-Maid and Elise attend his private funeral.
* **Maria** – The loyal maid to the Hampton family; reluctantly let go following Gary's loss of his company, which forced the family to cut back on luxuries.
* **Nathan Singleton** – A corporate CEO and head of Singleton Enterprises; Hampton Industries' greatest rival. Singleton himself was a rival of Gary for years, later embarked upon an affair with a lonely Rebecca – and gained information from her about Gary's company that almost ruined him. Singleton, despite appearing to have taken advantage of his relationship with Rebecca in order to hurt Gary's business, was actually in love with Rebecca, and, even after the two ended their relationship, he was still happy to get back together when Rebecca distanced herself from Gary, during his early days as Wolf-Man, and reached back out to Singleton. Singleton was last seen attending Rebecca's funeral, alongside Chloe, Dunford and Gary and Rebecca's parents.
* **Zechariah** – A vampire who approached Gary immediately following his discovery of his abilities; Zechariah posed as a friend and mentor to Gary in his early days as Wolf-Man; teaching him all he knew about werewolves and how to control his abilities, as well as establishing his Wolf-Man identity. Ultimately, Gary's trust in Zechariah crumbled when he realized how much Zechariah was keeping from him – when Zechariah tried to find and reconcile with Gary; instead he met Rebecca, and a confrontation led him to kill Gary's wife in a brief moment of rage. Zechariah left Gary to take the blame – though was finally caught following his attack on Stronghold Prison, setting the record straight. Zechariah escaped with Mecha-Maid's assistance and, avoiding her trap with Gary, plotted revenge and kidnapped Chloe to mutate her into a vampiress. Zechariah was killed in the final issue, before he could succeed, when the Elder tore Zechariah's heart out of his chest and consumed it, killing him and reducing him to a skeleton in seconds – finally ending his evil actions and interference in Gary's life.
* **The Actioneers** – A team of superheroes who are killed and revived as vampires by Zechariah to serve him; despite retaining their memories, their instinctive loyalty to Zechariah is overpowering and follow him completely. The team was finally captured following their attack on Stronghold Prison; which they participated in beside Zechariah and Chloe, in order to track down and kill Gary. The team is kept in isolation inside GDA HQ beneath the Pentagon. In the final issue, the team, immediately following Zechariah's death, is restored to normal.
* **Pamela aka "Mecha-Maid"** – A member of the Actioneers superhero team; who, being a robot, was instead disassembled and kept captive by Zechariah and the now-vampiric Actioneers. Mecha-Maid finally escapes when they departed, alongside Chloe, to attack Stronghold Prison, and Mecha-Maid followed and was caught in the fray, being captured by Face and his team – but was spared at Gary's insistence and later joined him as his superhero partner (and possible love interest). Mecha-Maid later joins the expanded Guardians of the Globe and, accepting Gary's advice to let her child grow and develop on her own, constructs a robotic body for Elise. In the final issue, Mecha-Maid is seen happily reuniting with the restored Actioneers.
* **Elise** – The artificially-created "daughter" of Mecha-Maid; initially just a hologram, she is much later given a robotic body to live independently.
* **Agent Hunter** – An agent of the Global Defense Agency; who also has the ability to survive all types of injury and completely regenerate from his wounds, regardless of how fatal they are (e.g. decapitation). Hunter is placed in charge of the Wolf-Man investigation and, with his human partner and with the backing of the GDA and Guardians of the Globe, relentlessly track Gary down to arrest him, completely believing Gary murdered Rebecca, despite numerous attempts, on Gary's part, to change his mind. Hunter ultimately succeeded when Gary was caught at Rebecca's grave. Later, however, Hunter found he had been mistaken about Gary all along, and was ordered by Stedman to let go of his investigation after it was shut down. Hunter and Gary, apparently, made amends, and together join the expanded Guardians of the Globe.
* **"The Face"** – A powerful criminal with two-merged faces and a third laser-blasting eye, who was in de facto control of Stronghold Prison; formerly the most powerful member of a defunct criminal organisation known as "The Body" – with Face being the last to fall and be imprisoned. Face escaped Stronghold Prison with Gary to the UK; and then released Gorgg, who betrayed Face and consumed him. Face was presumed dead, until he was found alive in Gorgg's remains during the salvation operation – immediately asking he be taken back to prison. Gary later confirmed to Construct that Face was sent back to prison as requested.
* **"The Elder"** – An elder brood werewolf and leader of all werewolves in the world; the Elder was responsible for attacking and giving Gary his werewolf powers, making him responsible for leaving Gary's old life in ruins, and his wife and best friend dead. In the final issue, the Elder confronts Gary for battle to test his worth – explaining he had chosen Gary to succeed him as Elder of the werewolves so they may be redeemed and become great once again. After a fierce battle, Gary fatally strikes the Elder across his throat and he ultimately collapsed and bled to death – a victorious Gary stood over his body, and the surrounding werewolves immediately bowed to their new Elder.
* **Jacobsen** – An influential werewolf under the Elder's command; Jacobsen first met Gary while seeking to kill Zechariah to avenge his murder of one of his children – when Gary (apparently) does so, Jacobsen immediately declares he and all behind him will consider Gary an ally and friend to the werewolves. Much later, Jacobsen and the werewolves returned to attack the Hampton estate, declaring Gary was marked for death by the Elder; during which Jacobsen killed Dunford. Jacobsen was witness to the Elder and Gary's final battle, where Gary killed the Elder, as he had wished. Jacobsen and the others immediately bowed to their new Elder. Later, Jacobsen and the werewolves were taken in by Gary and, with Jacobsen's influence, forms the Wolf Corps under Gary's command – Jacobsen, embracing his humanity, deeply expressed regret for his actions at the Elder's command, but Gary, having already forgiven him, stated all issues between them were settled and all were welcome with the werewolves.
* **"Gray Wolf"** – A werewolf, whose real name is unknown, who is employed as an agent of the Global Defense Agency; who originally "attacked" Gary, pretending to work for the Elder, but secretly gave him a hidden communicator at Stedman's behest, as apparently Gary saved Gray Wolf's life. Later, following Gary's defeat of Gorgg, exoneration and return as a superhero, Gray Wolf joins the expanded Guardians of the Globe. After a mission to shut down Impact's former employer, Gray Wolf revealed his identity – he was the rooftop gardener who Gary, in his first night as a werewolf, apparently killed while mindlessly wandering the rooftops; explaining that, as he had terminal cancer, his new werewolf abilities, given to him by Gary who instinctively sensed his sickness, healed him of – and then Gray Wolf, a retired CIA agent, found himself back in the spy game with the GDA, as a superhero; leaving him happier than he has ever been. This revelation finally gives Gary closure on this incident (as Gray Wolf's believed death had haunted Gary for a long time afterwards). In the final issue, it is implied Gray Wolf is now the Hamptons' new butler and estate manager.
