James Gunn has revealed the characters he cut from his first DCU show Creature Commandos, and some have left fans reeling. The DC Studios head revealed he considered some deep-cut comic book characters for the animated series before going in other directions.
The Guardians of the Galaxy director was asked on Threads who else he considered. A fan asked: "Like with The Suicide Squad, did you go through a number of different characters for the team before going with the ones that you chose? And which characters did you consider for the team early on?"
Gunn replied: "I definitely considered Wolfpack, and, especially, Man-Bat (one of my faves). But I knew I wanted to tell Weasel’s story so it felt like too many rabid and fuzzy characters. I considered Vincent Velcoro but wanted to choose a 'creature' far outside the usual roster from another part of DC – so I went with Dr. Phosphorous instead. I also considered Solomon Grundy, another favorite, but was pretty set on Frankenstein."
