Origin

=======

Gary was mauled by what is wife thought was a bear one night while he was with his wife, Rebecca Hampton, and his daughter, Chloe Hampton, at Willow Creek Camping Ground in Montana. 

Surviving his attack
One month later he awoke from a coma he had been in because of the attack. That night after he had gone back to sleep he transformed into a werewolf and rampaged through town and even went as far as killing a man. The next morning Gary found all his injuries had been healed. A month later while he was at home he transformed into the creature again during the night and killed a rabbit. When he awoke the next morning he found his clothing torn to shreds so he checked the security cameras only to discover what he had become. He was then confronted by a vampire named Zechariah who offered to help him control his newly discovered powers. In a matter of three weeks he had nearly full control of his beastly form. He also discovered he no longer needed to sleep because of the lunar energy he absorbs during the night. The next day he debuted during a fire and was dubbed the Wolf-Man by the media. Zechariah took him to the Art to get a superhero outfit and his superhero career officially began. He managed to help a group of super heroes called the Actioneers fight some form of slime beast. He quickly left because he still felt too new to meet any real heroes. The next night he stayed home and while he was getting intimate with his wife his transformation was triggered but he could not control it, he fled his home, went into town, and he slaughtered Sergeant Superior, one of the heroes he had helped earlier.

Two weeks later we find Gary, looking depressed, sitting inside what appears to be the base that was being built. When Zechariah arrives Gary goes wolf and lunges at him. It's revealed that Zec has not been around for the last two weeks, ever since Gary killed Sergeant Superior. Zec explains everything and tells Gary it was suppose to happen just as severely as it had. Zec reveals that on the first day of every full moon Gary will become a feral werewolf holding only a very little part of his psyche inside that will protect anyone truly close to him. Gary apologizes and explains that he'll start patrolling again soon. When Gary returns home he is a bit unnerving and reinforces to his wife he still loves her and they'll be OK. The next day Gary returns to patrolling where we see the mysterious car in action driven by Zechariah. It manages to fling Gary into the air to catch a villain called Thrill Kill who kidnapped a woman. After Gary chases him across the rooftops, Thrill Kill tries to bargain with him by dropping the girl and forcing Gary to make a choice between defeating him and saving the girl. Gary lunges at him and they both fall off the roof, they battle in midair, and Gary manages to save the girl before they hit the ground. When they land the police try to arrest Gary which the woman defends him against while he exits. When Gary returns, he find the car damaged and Zec being held captive by a group of werewolves who call Gary "Elder Brood". He battles them and they run saying they were not prepared for an "Elder Brood". When Gary regroups with Zec he has many questions that Zec refuses to answer. The next day Gary tells his wife that he was fired and that some of the house keeping and luxuries they have will need to be cutback on. Dunford, Gary's butler, appears and explains that there are men had the door who are basically evicting Gary. Gary apologizes to his wife and says it's all falling apart.

New Home

After the family moved out of there house they moved into Gary's secret underground base. When his daughter arrived he felt it was time to show her his new self. He wolfed out on her and she was shocked and speechless, Dunford helped her to her room while she was in shock. That night Gary and Zec went out again, just as Gary was acknowledging how quiet it was he got a whiff of trouble and the werewolf group from before attacked him. Gary accidentally killed one because he was so aggressive. He explained to the group but they were only concerned in how powerful he was and could become. They started to tell Gary of all the secrets Zec has been keeping and that Gary is on the wrong side. The lead wolf begins attacking Gary demanding him to reveal Zec's location. Gary is beaten to a pulp and then the lead wolf explains that if Gary new the truth he would want to kill Zec as well. Zec shows up to protect Gary. He tells him to revert to human form than change back again. Zec and the lead wolf begin to argue, and after awhile it is revealed that Zec was once their friend until his bloodlust drove him to killing an young female werewolf. Gary demands to know if the accusation is true and Zec confirms it but tries to give an excuse. The werewolf group begins telling Gary that Zec only trained him to be a bodyguard from them. Gary begins screaming at Zec asking him if he wanted his blood and saying how much he trusted him. Gary snaps and chops off Zec's head with his claws, seemingly killing him. The lead wolf, revealed to be named Jacobson, attempts to take the head as a trophy, but Gary insisted that, because it was his kill, he should dispatch the body. Jacobson commemorates him and says he has made a powerful ally in him. When the werewolf group leaves, Zec returns in a misted form. It turns out the death was ploy and Gary still believes in Zec despite what he's done and doesn't feel Zec has to prove himself. Zec thanks him for their friendship. The pair part agreeing to meet again tomorrow night.

The next night Gary stops Eruptor from killing people at the offices of The New Tribune, later that day Gary and Rebecca are talking about what are they going to do the next full moon, meanwhile their daughter is still trying to deal with the fact that her dad is a werewolf. That night Zechariah explains why Jacobson called him "Elder Brood." Gary finds out that he was not attacked by not just any werewolf he was attacked by an elder werewolf. Which are the oldest, and most powerful werewolves alive. Zechariah explains that they don't attack just anyone they choose who they attack. Gary then battles Construct and with the aid of Kid Thor she is defeated and sent to jail. Gary and Zechariah agree to try and find the elder who turned him. The next night Chloe walks into a room where her father is locked up so he cant attack his family or anyone. Rebecca tells Chloe that her father will need to do this every mouth but it will get better. Chloe says "Will it ever get better, what if it keeps getting worse?"

After the family got settled with their new home, Chloe continues with her life. Chloe is at a tennis match against one her rich friends named: Carly. Chloe  lost the game to her and goes to congratulate her, but her kindness is met with the disgust for her. Carly doesn't care and is embarrassed just for playing against her. Treating her like she is a different species from her by saying: "Your Kind", all because everyone now knows that her family got kicked out of her house and are poor. Out of anger Chloe strikes down Carly with her tennis racket. Later, the family returns to "Wolf-Man's Lair" and Chloe immediately storms off to her room. Rebecca goes to talk to her. Rebecca finds out that Chloe is the laughing stock of her school and is now called the "Homeless girl". Chloe than says "I think I hate him" (Out of anger to her Father [Gary]). Gary is upset and leaves for the night. Gary (Now in Werewolf form) is running across a rooftop with Zechariah trying to talk to him. But Gary is just ignoring him and when Zech asks what's wrong, Gary says: "Blowing off some steam". Jumping off the rooftop Gary lands on a car, and totally destroys the front part of it, that appears to being chased by the cops. The man in the car flies through the front wind-shield and Gary catches him before he hits the ground. The man is a scientist and says: Not cops......Never running from the cops. Running from Him." A giant man appears leaping towards the scientist. Gary tries to protect and stay away from him as long as he can. Rebecca is shown meeting a man named: Nathan, at a restaurant. She says: Nathan--Please. The Last thing in the world I came here to do is talk about Gary". Mecha-Maid is shown to be near the scene of Garys' fight. She tells the rest of the Actioneers that she has located their target. Mecha-Maid comments on how the Giant man is a human battery. That he absorbed Kinetic energy to get stronger. Using her advanced technology she found a way to turn him off. The scientist returns with a bunch of men and he's ordering them to get him in the car, quickly. Kinetic finally appears at the scene and immediately attacks Gary, shouting: "MURDERER!". Gary punches her off of him and the rest of the Actioneers show up. Gary is trying to explain to them on what happened, but none of them will listen. Kinetic orders everyone back so she can have him, all to herself. Not giving Gary a chance to move she continues beating on him until the rest of the Actioneers start second guessing on whats happening. Than Sergeant Superior

The break-up
 finally shows up. But he is not truly back. He has actually become a vampire. Sergeant Superior gets the rest of the team to stop attacking him and he then escapes. He quickly meets Zechariah. Of course Gary is upset that Zechariah never told Gary that he brought Superior back to life and was some what upset he brought him back as a vampire. He tells Zechariah he never wants to see him again and wants him to stay out of his life. He returns to the base and Rebecca informs him that his lawyers called an they can now move back in their home, but she wants to go without Gary. She wants to seperate for some time and Gary is devastated by this. He leaves the room and talks to Dunford about how he wishes he was never Wolf-man and how he thought it would be a good thing to be able to physically do some good. He soon sees Rebecca again and after a short talk the two kiss. After she leaves the room Zec appears wanting Rebecca's help in getting Gary to trust him again so he can help him, but she is upset over what Gary previously told her and she scratches him when she tries struggles to get free. He becomes furious and back hands her so hard he turned her head around killing her. He begins to panic guilty over what he did, but he then is over come by his vampire urges that he begins to feed on her dead body. Gary walks in and transforms in a fury. Zec tries to explain that due to feeding on Sergeant Superior's super human blood he is over come with the need to feed and lost track of his needs. He soon vanishes and Gary begins to cradle Rebecca's dead body. Chloe soon walks in seeing her mother dead and Gary transformed now covered in blood and starts crying no doubt believing he killed her. Dunford walks in and Gary asks him to watch Chloe and Gary then leaves. LAter it is shown that Sergeant Superior had butchered the team and tore them to pieces, but they then begin to rise now vampires in Zec's home and Superior addresses him as master.


Gadgets

=======

  • The Suit- The suit appears to be comprised of a black spandex uniform under a bulletproof chest piece with a Thundercat-esque Wolf symbol, two large gauntlets with lunar energy absorbing discs for extended transformation past night time, and some form of armored boots with the toes cut off for use of the claws on his feet.
  • The Base- There seems to be some sort of base being setup for Gary's use. Zechariah has mind controlled construction workers to build it, but he is paying them well for the job and they believe they're building a mall to hide Gary's identity. The base was revealed in issue three, although now in detail. It appears to be very large.
  • The Car- Zechariah asked about a vehicle in the works and Gary assured him even though it was still in design phase it would be up and running soon. In issue three it is revealed that a car was being built for Zechariah to drive. The car is a fog grayish color with a black Wolf-Man insignia on the front. On the rear hood of the car there is a launchpad that is used to fling Gary onto rooftops and other high areas out of reach. Details are still vague as of now.
