Way back during World War II, the Nazis attempted to create werewolf super-soldiers by mixing human and wolf DNA. At some point, they lost control of this project and a number of human-wolf hybrids got out into the world. In the modern day, a descendant of this program, Lupita Luka, now works for the US government, hunting down others of her kind who have gone rogue.

In the modern day, a descendant of this program, Lupita Luka, now works for the US government, hunting down others of her kind who have gone rogue.

* WomanWereWoes: Lupita Luka is one of only a handful of known female werewolves, and this leads to a bunch of annoyances. For starters, she frequently has to run around in a skimpy outfit because form-fitting clothing gets in the way of her transformations. Second, being a werewolf gives her some strange appetites. She also suffers blackouts and memory loss that may be related to her transformations, which becomes a problem for her when she is framed for murder and can't entirely account for her whereabouts during that time.

Added DiffLines:

* DependingOnTheArtist: Lupita's costume is usually skimpy, but some of the variant cover artists go even further, drawing her in just a skimpy bondage-style harness or lingerie with fishnets.
* EyeScream: In the first issue, Lupita puts a baseball bat through the eye of one of her attackers.
* NeverSuicide: After Lupita and her team notice that one of the A.R.E. Corporation's employees, Dr. Karen Terry, is using the name of an 80-year-old woman despite not looking 80, they decide to do a wellness check and the real Dr. Terry and find her dead from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Lupita orders them to check for gunshot residue on the woman's hands, convinced that it's probably a set-up.


Added DiffLines:

* SpottingTheThread: In the first issue, Lupita notices that a biker bar in El Paso has a lot of bikes in front of it, but nobody is actually in the bar. It turns out the bar is a trap; the bikers come in for a drink, and get captured to feed the werewolves that live there. The werewolves then sell the bikes to keep the bar funded so that they can keep luring in more prey.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Lupita's costume consists of a skimpy harness, a thong, and some boots, and sometimes she doesn't even bother with the boots. Possibly justified in that she is a lycanthrope and thus more conservative clothing might inhibit her transformations.
