** In ''ComicBook/The Real Ghostbusters'' by NOW comic, there was a semi-recurring character Irena Cortez who was a werewolf, instead of a curse it is a hereditary condition. She can transform at will, however, if she represses the wolf side she would involuntary transform on a full moon and gain a stir-crazy other self. You don't need a silver bullet to kill a werewolf: a bullet is a bullet. Also, Peter Venkman went on a date with her in wolf form, apparently not the first woman who was hairier than him.

Added DiffLines:
* ''ComicBook/AgeOfTheWolf'': The werewolves that show up to herald the end of humanity are initially fairly standard lycanthropes for the most part, turning at the sight of the full moon into bestial predators and [[TheVirus spreading their infection through bites]]. Then over the course of a few decades the werewolves evolve from purely feral creatures to sapient WolfMan people with their own civilization that aims to hunt down and replace the remaining humans. At one point the female Alpha also resurrects several [[NonHumanUndead buried werewolf corpses]] to lay a trap for the heroine.
* ''ComicBook/TheAstoundingWolfMan'' focuses on a man who, after being infected with lycanthropy on a family vacation, uses it as a means by which he can become a superhero. His werewolf powers give him super strength and healing, but only work at night. Also, on the night of the full moon he enters a feral state and can no longer control his actions.
* In ''ComicBook/BeastsOfBurden'', it's a demon possessing someone's body, doesn't seem to be restricted by moon cycle when taking over the body, and it gives the person the ability to talk to animals. Silver bullets are still the way to go though.
* In "'X'-tra 'X'" in ''Magazine/CreepyMagazine'' #34, a mutated form of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinefelter_syndrome Klinefelter syndrome]] causes the extra X chromosome to be affected by the full moon's gravity and produce a certain fluid which is responsible for lycanthropic transformations.
* Werewolves in ''ComicBook/{{Crimson}}'' were [[TheDescendantsOfCain descendants of Cain]] after he murdered Abel under the influence of an angelic sword that made him kill his brother. Their condition is seemingly hereditary rather than transmitted through bites like [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampirism]]. They are capable of transforming at will and retain some sense of control and speech in transformed form.
* Creator/DCComics has several examples:
** ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': Anthony Lupus is an Olympic athlete who is given a serum by [[MadScientist Dr. Milo]] that transforms him into a werewolf on every full moon. The first appearance of Lupus was loosely adapted into the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE43MoonOfTheWolf Moon of the Wolf]]", in which Lupus' [[MeaningfulName name]] is changed into the slightly less [[WerewolfThemeNaming obvious]][[note]]although remember who the mythical founders of Rome were {{raised by|Wolves}}[[/note]] Anthony Romulus.
** Lar-On is a Kryptonian werewolf fought by ComicBook/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/{{Batman}} in ''World's Finest'' #256 (way back in UsefulNotes/{{the Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}}) and by ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} in ''ComicBook/SupergirlRebirth''. His lycanthropy is a sickness caused by Red Kryptonite poisoning (Red-K does weird things to Kryptonians as opposite to the lethal and most famous green type). He turns into a muscled, huge, purple-red, humanoid wolf with fiery EyeBeams.
** In ''Adventure Comics'' #387, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} is accidentally turned into a [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pScx8BN4h3s/Sd40lrAfbNI/AAAAAAAADY8/fDtEtx-rFa8/s320/adventure+287+-+01.jpg wolf-girl]], while a wolf-girl Supergirl from a lupine alternate universe is turned into a human.
** ''Young All-Stars'', a companion book to ''ComicBook/AllStarSquadron'', has the rather unusual Sea Wolf in Axis Amerika, in that he's an aquatic werewolf who acts as an EvilCounterpart of ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}. His transformations seem willful, as he reverts back to human form when knocked unconscious.
** Brother Donatus Chalice from ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'' [[spoiler:is a Hound of God variant, seeing as he's a monk in his human form. The only thing keeping his transformations during the full moon in check is the crucifix that he wears at all times.

** ''ComicBook/GreenArrow'': Dolph Marrock, a.k.a. Big Bad Wolf, suffers from Lukos, a sexually transmitted form of lycanthropy. The disease causes deformation of the frontal lobe and swelling of the adrenal and pituitary glands, increasing anger, hunger, and impulsivity. When the infected is excited or enraged, they bleed from their eyes, nose, fingernails, and gums, thereby spreading the disease to those they hurt. The longer the infection, the more extreme the change, to the point of appearing akin to werewolves.
* Early in the chronology of ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'', Timmain, one of a group of elfin space travelers stranded on the Earth-like World of Two Moons, shapeshifted into various forms in order to understand the planet's ecology, finally turning herself into a fully fertile she-wolf so that she could mate with the alpha male of a wild pack and have offspring. She didn't just do that on impulse, but so that her descendants would be a part of the planet. In more recent issues (set about 20,000 years later) the elf [[spoiler:Kimo]] has learned from Timmain how to shapeshift into a wolf.
* Bigby Wolf of ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'' is a sort of inversion. He was a giant wolf great enough to eat entire armies at one go (indeed, he was ''the'' [[TheBigBadWolf Big Bad Wolf]]), but he allowed Snow White to cut him with a lycanthropy-cursed knife so that he could take a human form at will in order to live peacefully in our world. In addition to allowing him to pass as human, this gives him the ability to transform into a WolfMan form as well as a hybrid form, which he uses to keep the peace in Fabletown, but also makes him vulnerable to silver, which several villains have used against him in the comic and in the game ''VideoGame/TheWolfAmongUs''.
* ''ComicBook/{{Ferals}}'' focuses on a breed of very violent and strong werewolves that do not appear to have any restrictions on when they can transform. While they are certainly not mindless, they do seem prone to unquenchable bloodlust and cruelty while they are in wolf form. They fall closest to the dire wolf flavor of lycanthropy, except perhaps with a gallon of steroids thrown in for good measure.
* ''In the Blood'' is a limited series, currently held up in production due to the artist suffering from cancer, which centers on a teenager struggling with his burgeoning lycanthropy. He seems to be unable to control when his transformations occur and is styled after the classic Lon Chaney wolfman style. It's been implied in interviews that this [[spoiler:is a family affliction]].
* ''ComicBook/LastManStanding'': [[ChickMagnet Ronin]] is a RaginCajun salesman who had his life turned around under a Blue Moon...
* In ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', Link periodically turns into a bipedal grey wolf in the Dark World.
* ''Little Gloomy'' takes place in Spooksville, Frightsylvania, where the moon is ''always'' out, and ''always'' full. Accordingly, the sizable werewolf population is a constant danger to the average citizen, with one of the only civilized werewolves being Gloomy's friend Larry.
* The Italian comic ''Lupo Alberto'', set in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals, has tackled the idea of the were''man'', a wolf who transforms into a human, on three different occasions through the wolfish protagonist Alberto. The first time, back when the comic was a strip, he just reads [[ShowWithinAShow a horror story about it]] -- in the two other stories, Alberto himself turns out to be one, though with different flavors to the transformation each time:
** In the first transformation, he turns into a bureaucrat who goes to the [=McKenzie=] farm and informs Moses (the AngryGuardDog working as farm leader) that in the morning, the whole place will be razed to allow the construction of a new highway. Unable to make him change his mind, Moses considers ''killing'' the bureaucrat... but when dawn comes, Alberto goes back to normal, leading Moses to think that it was just a prank.
** By the second time, everyone knows that Alberto is a wereman and that the transformation now changes him into a neo-Nazi who spouts racist insults -- thus, hours before every full moon, Alberto has Moses tie him up to a tree and muzzle him so that he won't terrorize everyone around. When Moses forgets to muzzle him, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Enrico]] decides to do the deed himself, but when he sees that he's arrived too late, [[LetNoCrisisGoToWaste he sells tickets to watch the amazing wereman in complete safety]].
* Creator/MarvelComics:
** ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'': The infamous ''Man and Wolf'' [[http://www.cbr.com/i-love-ya-but-youre-strange-the-glorious-debut-of-capwolf/ story arc]] from 1992 brought pretty much anything wolf related in the Marvel Universe into play as Cap had to deal with a whole town of werewolves created by Nightshade via scientific means. This included Captain America ''himself'' becoming a werewolf, called "Capwolf" in the series. Eventually, even [[KarmicTransformation Nightshade herself was infected]], motivating her to actually cure the problem she started.
** In ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'', the heroes have to go up against a group of "cowboy werewoofs". One character is surprised at this because "there isn't even a full moon tonight". This prompts another character to point out that the "moon is always full."
** ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'':
*** Similarly to Rahne Sinclair/Wolfsbane (see below), the Lobo Brothers are {{mutants}} who can transform into wolf-men.
*** John Jameson (J. Jonah's son) was an astronaut who was transformed by a ruby he found on the moon into one. He was later transported to the dimension where the ruby originated in, where he became Stargod.
** [[StevenUlyssesPerhero Jack Russell]] from ''ComicBook/WerewolfByNight'' inherited the werewolf curse from his father, coming into effect on his 18th birthday. He transforms into a WolfMan [[WeirdMoon three times a month]], and eventually gains some control over his form, being able to shift whenever he wants while retaining his human mind.
** ''ComicBook/XMen'':
*** Wolfsbane debuted in ''ComicBook/NewMutants'' and is a {{mutant|s}} shapeshifter who originally could become a red-furred wolf, or a 'werewolfgirl' intermediate form. These forms continued to change as she grew, influenced by emotional crises, mind control, drugs, mutant energy influxes, whatever the writers could dream up. She's been stuck in her intermediate form before, too. Twice (at least) depowered and restored, she has served on more teams (and in more different comic books) than most any character. Wolfsbane's LoveAtFirstSight is the [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Asgardian]] wolf prince Hrimhari, who is a regular wolf with the power to turn into a wolf-man. She also befriended Catseye of the Hellions, who was a werecat who also changed shape voluntarily. However, she had to be coaxed into human form by her teammates and had a strange way of speaking that suggests that like Hrimhari, she's an animal who can turn into a human and not the other way around.
*** The minor character Wolfcub is stuck in a "wolfman" form. A couple of plots have tried to explain that all mutants with regenerative powers, claws, and heightened senses are a subspecies of mutant (Homo superior lupus) that is the origin of werewolves. The same is said for demonic mutants (like Nightcrawler), angelic mutants (like Angel), and cat-like mutants (Feral, Thornn, and Catseye).
*** Myles "Vivisector" Alfred from ''ComicBook/XStatix'' is similarly a mutant whose power is to transform into a WolfMan.
* ''Menace'' #1 features several American tourists who find a man being chased by wolves during a full moon. They keep the wolves at bay until dawn, only to discover that the man they were protecting is a type of werewolf who only turns ''human'' when the full moon is shining. Once the sun rises, he reverts to his wolfman form and attacks them.
* PlayedForLaughs in a ''[[ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse Mickey Mouse]]'' comic that's centered around a "novel" written by WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}. It involves various supernatural happenings, but Goofy insists that everything has a natural explanation in the end. At one point, Mickey calls him out for having a blatantly real werewolf transformation. [[CloudCuckoolander Goofy]] insists that lycanthropy is perfectly natural -- a severe allergic reaction to the full moon. Furthermore, the werewolf transforms back to normal when a character claims it's not the full moon, and then back to werewolf form when another one corrects him that it actually is.
* ''ComicBook/RedSonja Annual 4'' has Lykaanus who sought immortality from the beast god Jhebbal Sag. Jhebbal Sag granted him this but because Lykaanus had insulted Jhebbal Sag by killing animals that were sacred to him, Lykaanus was cursed age in dog years and transform into a wolf creature during the night of a full moon. He bites Sonja, passing the curse onto her but she is able to undo it by killing him.
* Werewolves in ''ComicBook/RequiemVampireKnight'' are what religious zealots who spread death in the name of faith become in the world of Resurrection; the most powerful of all is the infamous Inquisitor Torquemada.
* In "The Wolf Doctor" in ''ComicBook/RulahJungleGoddess'' #17, a doctor infected with lycanthropy moves to the jungle where he immediately begins attacking the maidens of Rulah's tribe and converting them into werewolves. Peculiarities of this species of werewolves include a MissingReflection, being repelled by foxglove (presumably the writer meant wolfsbane) and can be slain by wooden spears or broken branches.
* ''Thicker than Blood'' features two brothers, one of whom is a werewolf (of the manwolf variety) while the other [[spoiler:turns out to be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or at least something like him]]. The werewolf brother originally only transforms on the full moon nights after being bitten on a family trip, but [[spoiler:after drinking his brother's serum]] he appears to change more frequently and is even stronger and more feral than usual.
* ''ComicBook/TraggAndTheSkyGods'': In Tragg's first appearance (in ''Mystery Comics Digest'' #3), he and Lorn battle the world's first werewolf: created when the cowardly hunter Snark drinks from a lake contaminated by the fuel tanks of a crashed alien spaceship just after a dire wolf has been flung into the water by a stegosaurus. [[ARareSentence (And that may be the most awesome sentence I have ever written.)]] He becomes a rampaging WolfMan (or dire wolf man to be strictly accurate) under the full moon.
* A plot point in the ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'' story "Isle of the Huntress". [[spoiler:Vivienne's lycanthropy is immune to silver, but Vampirella can still kill her by sucking her dry. Jean's, on the other hand, is not immune.]]
* ''ComicBook/WelcomeToHoxford'' had a pack of werewolves running a prison/mental asylum, in order to hunt the inmates. These werewolves are huge, skeletal and vicious, and have a propensity for eating human flesh, though notably they lack the invulnerability many werewolves had, and can be killed with physical weapons. They also transform very squickily, and seem functionally ageless.
* In the Creator/{{Wildstorm}} title ''Wetworks'', werewolves are a separate species (as are the vampires, with which the werewolves are secretly at war), which spend most of their time in human form, but have trouble controlling their rage when transformed into wolfmen. For the first two years of the title, the titular team was employed as vampire killers by the werewolf king (originally presenting himself merely as a human billionaire concerned about the vampire problem). An interesting twist is that most werewolves find it increasingly difficult to control their rage as they get older, so most of the governing in werewolf society is done by the children.
* The '90s Wrestling/{{WWE}} comic book series ''Wrestling/TheUndertaker'' features Lootan, who was a well-dressed werewolf detective and right hand man to the titular character.
* ''ComicBook/TheAstoundingWolfMan'' focuses on a man who, after being infected with lycanthropy on a family vacation, uses it as a means by which he can become a superhero. His werewolf powers give him super strength and healing, but only work at night. Also, on the night of the full moon he enters a feral state and can no longer control his actions.
* In ''ComicBook/BeastsOfBurden'', it's a demon possessing someone's body, doesn't seem to be restricted by moon cycle when taking over the body, and it gives the person the ability to talk to animals. Silver bullets are still the way to go though.
* In "'X'-tra 'X'" in ''Magazine/CreepyMagazine'' #34, a mutated form of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinefelter_syndrome Klinefelter syndrome]] causes the extra X chromosome to be affected by the full moon's gravity and produce a certain fluid which is responsible for lycanthropic transformations.
* Werewolves in ''ComicBook/{{Crimson}}'' were [[TheDescendantsOfCain descendants of Cain]] after he murdered Abel under the influence of an angelic sword that made him kill his brother. Their condition is seemingly hereditary rather than transmitted through bites like [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampirism]]. They are capable of transforming at will and retain some sense of control and speech in transformed form.
* Creator/DCComics has several examples:
** ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': Anthony Lupus is an Olympic athlete who is given a serum by [[MadScientist Dr. Milo]] that transforms him into a werewolf on every full moon. The first appearance of Lupus was loosely adapted into the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "[[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE43MoonOfTheWolf Moon of the Wolf]]", in which Lupus' [[MeaningfulName name]] is changed into the slightly less [[WerewolfThemeNaming obvious]][[note]]although remember who the mythical founders of Rome were {{raised by|Wolves}}[[/note]] Anthony Romulus.
** Lar-On is a Kryptonian werewolf fought by ComicBook/{{Superman}} and ComicBook/{{Batman}} in ''World's Finest'' #256 (way back in UsefulNotes/{{the Bronze Age|OfComicBooks}}) and by ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} in ''ComicBook/SupergirlRebirth''. His lycanthropy is a sickness caused by Red Kryptonite poisoning (Red-K does weird things to Kryptonians as opposite to the lethal and most famous green type). He turns into a muscled, huge, purple-red, humanoid wolf with fiery EyeBeams.
** In ''Adventure Comics'' #387, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} is accidentally turned into a [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pScx8BN4h3s/Sd40lrAfbNI/AAAAAAAADY8/fDtEtx-rFa8/s320/adventure+287+-+01.jpg wolf-girl]], while a wolf-girl Supergirl from a lupine alternate universe is turned into a human.
** ''Young All-Stars'', a companion book to ''ComicBook/AllStarSquadron'', has the rather unusual Sea Wolf in Axis Amerika, in that he's an aquatic werewolf who acts as an EvilCounterpart of ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}. His transformations seem willful, as he reverts back to human form when knocked unconscious.
** Brother Donatus Chalice from ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'' [[spoiler:is a Hound of God variant, seeing as he's a monk in his human form. The only thing keeping his transformations during the full moon in check is the crucifix that he wears at all times. If provoked into anger in his human form, elements of his wolf form may push through, like his nails turning into claws and his incisor teeth lengthening]].
** One storyline of ''ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew'' features a wolf who, thanks to a magical artifact, transforms under a full moon into a "wuz-wolf", a feral-looking human being. The Zoo Crew's Earth [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals having no humans]], who are considered only to be fictional creatures, is noted at several points during the story.
** In ''ComicBook/The Real Ghostbusters'' by NOW comic, there was a semi-recurring character Irena Cortez who was a werewolf, instead of a curse it is a hereditary condition. She can transform at will, however, if she represses the wolf side she would involuntary transform on a full moon and gain a stir-crazy other self. You don't need a silver bullet to kill a werewolf: a bullet is a bullet. Also, Peter Venkman went on a date with her in wolf form, apparently not the first woman who was hairier than him.
** In the very allegorical ''ComicBook/HouseOfMystery'' story "Maidenhead", the Children of the Blue Gray's lycanthropy is sexual (it's unclear whether arousal leads to the change or vice versa, because as far as they're concerned it's the same thing), but also seems to be tied into their [[CrystalDragonJesus Crystal Dragon Mohammad]] religion.
** Mikola Rostov from ''ComicBook/TheWarlord'' was a Russian fencing instructor cursed to become a werewolf every full moon. Rostov followed his lover Mariah to the other-dimensional realm of Skartaris, hoping the perpetual sunlight would free him of his curse. He eventually went back in time to the age when the land was called Wizard World. There Jennifer Morgan cast a spell that cured him of his werewolf curse. However, he can still use his "wolf spirit" in battle.
** In ''Creature Commandos'', Warren Griffith isn't a mythic werewolf, but rather one created by science. He lacks any of your typical werewolf weaknesses, and be can usually transform at will, but he'll also occasionally change at random due to flaws in the procedure that have him his powers. His wolf form also has a markedly different personality than his human form -- a berserk BloodKnight versus a meek, stuttering FarmBoy with an inferiority complex.
** ''ComicBook/GreenArrow'': Dolph Marrock, a.k.a. Big Bad Wolf, suffers from Lukos, a sexually transmitted form of lycanthropy. The disease causes deformation of the frontal lobe and swelling of the adrenal and pituitary glands, increasing anger, hunger, and impulsivity. When the infected is excited or enraged, they bleed from their eyes, nose, fingernails, and gums, thereby spreading the disease to those they hurt. The longer the infection, the more extreme the change, to the point of appearing akin to werewolves.
* Early in the chronology of ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'', Timmain, one of a group of elfin space travelers stranded on the Earth-like World of Two Moons, shapeshifted into various forms in order to understand the planet's ecology, finally turning herself into a fully fertile she-wolf so that she could mate with the alpha male of a wild pack and have offspring. She didn't just do that on impulse, but so that her descendants would be a part of the planet. In more recent issues (set about 20,000 years later) the elf [[spoiler:Kimo]] has learned from Timmain how to shapeshift into a wolf.
* Bigby Wolf of ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}'' is a sort of inversion. He was a giant wolf great enough to eat entire armies at one go (indeed, he was ''the'' [[TheBigBadWolf Big Bad Wolf]]), but he allowed Snow White to cut him with a lycanthropy-cursed knife so that he could take a human form at will in order to live peacefully in our world. In addition to allowing him to pass as human, this gives him the ability to transform into a WolfMan form as well as a hybrid form, which he uses to keep the peace in Fabletown, but also makes him vulnerable to silver, which several villains have used against him in the comic and in the game ''VideoGame/TheWolfAmongUs''.
* ''ComicBook/{{Ferals}}'' focuses on a breed of very violent and strong werewolves that do not appear to have any restrictions on when they can transform. While they are certainly not mindless, they do seem prone to unquenchable bloodlust and cruelty while they are in wolf form. They fall closest to the dire wolf flavor of lycanthropy, except perhaps with a gallon of steroids thrown in for good measure.
* ''In the Blood'' is a limited series, currently held up in production due to the artist suffering from cancer, which centers on a teenager struggling with his burgeoning lycanthropy. He seems to be unable to control when his transformations occur and is styled after the classic Lon Chaney wolfman style. It's been implied in interviews that this [[spoiler:is a family affliction]].
* ''ComicBook/LastManStanding'': [[ChickMagnet Ronin]] is a RaginCajun salesman who had his life turned around under a Blue Moon...
* In ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', Link periodically turns into a bipedal grey wolf in the Dark World.
* ''Little Gloomy'' takes place in Spooksville, Frightsylvania, where the moon is ''always'' out, and ''always'' full. Accordingly, the sizable werewolf population is a constant danger to the average citizen, with one of the only civilized werewolves being Gloomy's friend Larry.
* The Italian comic ''Lupo Alberto'', set in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals, has tackled the idea of the were''man'', a wolf who transforms into a human, on three different occasions through the wolfish protagonist Alberto. The first time, back when the comic was a strip, he just reads [[ShowWithinAShow a horror story about it]] -- in the two other stories, Alberto himself turns out to be one, though with different flavors to the transformation each time:
** In the first transformation, he turns into a bureaucrat who goes to the [=McKenzie=] farm and informs Moses (the AngryGuardDog working as farm leader) that in the morning, the whole place will be razed to allow the construction of a new highway. Unable to make him change his mind, Moses considers ''killing'' the bureaucrat... but when dawn comes, Alberto goes back to normal, leading Moses to think that it was just a prank.
** By the second time, everyone knows that Alberto is a wereman and that the transformation now changes him into a neo-Nazi who spouts racist insults -- thus, hours before every full moon, Alberto has Moses tie him up to a tree and muzzle him so that he won't terrorize everyone around. When Moses forgets to muzzle him, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Enrico]] decides to do the deed himself, but when he sees that he's arrived too late, [[LetNoCrisisGoToWaste he sells tickets to watch the amazing wereman in complete safety]].
* Creator/MarvelComics:
** ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'': The infamous ''Man and Wolf'' [[http://www.cbr.com/i-love-ya-but-youre-strange-the-glorious-debut-of-capwolf/ story arc]] from 1992 brought pretty much anything wolf related in the Marvel Universe into play as Cap had to deal with a whole town of werewolves created by Nightshade via scientific means. This included Captain America ''himself'' becoming a werewolf, called "Capwolf" in the series. Eventually, even [[KarmicTransformation Nightshade herself was infected]], motivating her to actually cure the problem she started.
** In ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'', the heroes have to go up against a group of "cowboy werewoofs". One character is surprised at this because "there isn't even a full moon tonight". This prompts another character to point out that the "moon is always full."
** ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'':
*** Similarly to Rahne Sinclair/Wolfsbane (see below), the Lobo Brothers are {{mutants}} who can transform into wolf-men.
*** John Jameson (J. Jonah's son) was an astronaut who was transformed by a ruby he found on the moon into one. He was later transported to the dimension where the ruby originated in, where he became Stargod.
** [[StevenUlyssesPerhero Jack Russell]] from ''ComicBook/WerewolfByNight'' inherited the werewolf curse from his father, coming into effect on his 18th birthday. He transforms into a WolfMan [[WeirdMoon three times a month]], and eventually gains some control over his form, being able to shift whenever he wants while retaining his human mind.
** ''ComicBook/XMen'':
*** Wolfsbane debuted in ''ComicBook/NewMutants'' and is a {{mutant|s}} shapeshifter who originally could become a red-furred wolf, or a 'werewolfgirl' intermediate form. These forms continued to change as she grew, influenced by emotional crises, mind control, drugs, mutant energy influxes, whatever the writers could dream up. She's been stuck in her intermediate form before, too. Twice (at least) depowered and restored, she has served on more teams (and in more different comic books) than most any character. Wolfsbane's LoveAtFirstSight is the [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Asgardian]] wolf prince Hrimhari, who is a regular wolf with the power to turn into a wolf-man. She also befriended Catseye of the Hellions, who was a werecat who also changed shape voluntarily. However, she had to be coaxed into human form by her teammates and had a strange way of speaking that suggests that like Hrimhari, she's an animal who can turn into a human and not the other way around.
*** The minor character Wolfcub is stuck in a "wolfman" form. A couple of plots have tried to explain that all mutants with regenerative powers, claws, and heightened senses are a subspecies of mutant (Homo superior lupus) that is the origin of werewolves. The same is said for demonic mutants (like Nightcrawler), angelic mutants (like Angel), and cat-like mutants (Feral, Thornn, and Catseye).
*** Myles "Vivisector" Alfred from ''ComicBook/XStatix'' is similarly a mutant whose power is to transform into a WolfMan.
* ''Menace'' #1 features several American tourists who find a man being chased by wolves during a full moon. They keep the wolves at bay until dawn, only to discover that the man they were protecting is a type of werewolf who only turns ''human'' when the full moon is shining. Once the sun rises, he reverts to his wolfman form and attacks them.
* PlayedForLaughs in a ''[[ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse Mickey Mouse]]'' comic that's centered around a "novel" written by WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}. It involves various supernatural happenings, but Goofy insists that everything has a natural explanation in the end. At one point, Mickey calls him out for having a blatantly real werewolf transformation. [[CloudCuckoolander Goofy]] insists that lycanthropy is perfectly natural -- a severe allergic reaction to the full moon. Furthermore, the werewolf transforms back to normal when a character claims it's not the full moon, and then back to werewolf form when another one corrects him that it actually is.
* ''ComicBook/RedSonja Annual 4'' has Lykaanus who sought immortality from the beast god Jhebbal Sag. Jhebbal Sag granted him this but because Lykaanus had insulted Jhebbal Sag by killing animals that were sacred to him, Lykaanus was cursed age in dog years and transform into a wolf creature during the night of a full moon. He bites Sonja, passing the curse onto her but she is able to undo it by killing him.
* Werewolves in ''ComicBook/RequiemVampireKnight'' are what religious zealots who spread death in the name of faith become in the world of Resurrection; the most powerful of all is the infamous Inquisitor Torquemada.
* In "The Wolf Doctor" in ''ComicBook/RulahJungleGoddess'' #17, a doctor infected with lycanthropy moves to the jungle where he immediately begins attacking the maidens of Rulah's tribe and converting them into werewolves. Peculiarities of this species of werewolves include a MissingReflection, being repelled by foxglove (presumably the writer meant wolfsbane) and can be slain by wooden spears or broken branches.
* ''Thicker than Blood'' features two brothers, one of whom is a werewolf (of the manwolf variety) while the other [[spoiler:turns out to be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or at least something like him]]. The werewolf brother originally only transforms on the full moon nights after being bitten on a family trip, but [[spoiler:after drinking his brother's serum]] he appears to change more frequently and is even stronger and more feral than usual.
* ''ComicBook/TraggAndTheSkyGods'': In Tragg's first appearance (in ''Mystery Comics Digest'' #3), he and Lorn battle the world's first werewolf: created when the cowardly hunter Snark drinks from a lake contaminated by the fuel tanks of a crashed alien spaceship just after a dire wolf has been flung into the water by a stegosaurus. [[ARareSentence (And that may be the most awesome sentence I have ever written.)]] He becomes a rampaging WolfMan (or dire wolf man to be strictly accurate) under the full moon.
* A plot point in the ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'' story "Isle of the Huntress". [[spoiler:Vivienne's lycanthropy is immune to silver, but Vampirella can still kill her by sucking her dry. Jean's, on the other hand, is not immune.]]
* ''ComicBook/WelcomeToHoxford'' had a pack of werewolves running a prison/mental asylum, in order to hunt the inmates. These werewolves are huge, skeletal and vicious, and have a propensity for eating human flesh, though notably they lack the invulnerability many werewolves had, and can be killed with physical weapons. They also transform very squickily, and seem functionally ageless.

* The '90s Wrestling/{{WWE}} comic book series ''Wrestling/TheUndertaker'' features Lootan, who was a well-dressed werewolf detective and right hand man to the titular character.
