* DrowningMySorrows: Gary tries to do this while on the run but can't bring himself to and throws away the bottle unopened.

to:

* DrowningMySorrows: Subverted. Gary tries to do this while on the run but can't bring himself to and throws away the bottle unopened.



* EvilMentor: [[spoiler:Zechariah helps Gary adapt to the world of the supernatural and teaches him to control his powers. In the end, though, it turns out that he never did all that out of altruism and actually thought he could use Wolf-Man as a pawn in his scheme]].



* TraumaCongaLine: Gary goes though a hell of one for the most of the comic's run. He gets turned into a werewolf and is having a lot of fun, using his newfound powers to combat crime, but in the meantime, his personal life is falling apart. The media circus resulting from his month-long coma and subsequent blow to his corporation's interests get him locked out of the company, later his assets are frozen due to charges of embezzlement, his family is evicted from their manor and forced to live in an underground bunker beneath a shopping mall. The relations with his wife and daughter deteriorate -- especially with Chloe, who grows to hate her father and blame him for everything that's befallen them. [[spoiler:And just when you think things cannot get any worse, Zechariah murders Rebecca and Gary is falsely accused of her death. He becomes a fugitive, hunted relentlessly by law enforcers, government agents and even ordinary citizens who report his whereabouts to the police whenever they recognize him. Even his own daughter is out to kill him. In the end, he is captured, deemed guilty of his wife's murder and thrown into prison. In a span of mere days, Gary lost literally everything he held dear]].

Added DiffLines:

* ItsAllMyFault: Even after his good name is restored, Gary still blames himself for [[spoiler:Rebecca's death, claiming that even though he was not the one who delivered the killing blow, he still did let the real murderer into his life, ignoring all the signs that Zechariah cannot be trusted]].
-->'''Gary Hampton:''' ''[shedding BrokenTears during TV review]'' These past few months... I felt like I ''deserved'' every bad thing that happened.

* OurWereWolvesAreDifferent: In this universe werewolves can come to control their transformations on all nights except for the first full moon of the month where they fall into a bloody rage. [[spoiler: Werewolves also survive as a race proper, outside of normal society, and are ruled by a more potent strain of werewolf called an ''elder''.]]
