A simple Google search of these characters will present the various editions of the 70s Marvel comics and will show how comic accurate the Werewolf & Man-Thing are, Elsa Bloodstone is another matter, her character wasn't created until 2001 and although her tough nature and fighting skills are evident she looks nothing like her various depictions from the comics, neither the big busted scantily clad blonde version or the big busted red haired rifle toting version.
All in all this Halloween special was excellent, entertaining and most of all it introduces these characters into the MCU, each character has played a part of the wider Marvel comics storylines since their introductions and have been alongside or fought against the myriad of Marvels more popular superheroes.
Criticism of Werewolf by night's appearance is in itself ridiculous as the character was based on Lon Chaneys version of the Wolfman and apart from more recent artistic choices by some artists the character has always been depicted as a Wolfman and not as a version of a full blown Werewolf depicted in various movies from the past few decades.
Man-Thing was an excellent addition to this special and a fantastic surprise, all thanks to Kevin Feige's suggestion the character be included, both characters have a long history together in the comics, more importantly, apart from a brief cameo in Dr Strange 2 this is the 1st time Man-Thing has been seen on screen since the 2005 Man-Thing movie,a low budget monster movie loosely based on the characters comic origin that depicts the character as a monster rather than the monster-super-hero of the comics.
Hopefully this one off special will lead to more appearances by these fantastic characters.
