10 Comic Book Characters Who Would Make Great Horror Movies

10. Immortal Hulk

Marvel’s modern-day Frankenstein is a character that is engrossed in the themes of horror. From the Jekyll and Hyde theme to the uncontrollable anger, Bruce Banner and his...short tempered side are perfect for this list. The Immortal Hulk run deals with body horror that could easily put Cronenberg to shame.

Hulk is able to survive extreme injuries that most Marvel superheroes would find it hard to walk away from; you could go crazy with the body horror, with his intestines ripped out of him and his body absolutely ravaged.

Taking inspiration from Alien, a paranoid hunter and prey film would be a perfect way to introduce Wolverine. However, because we have Professor Hulk now, that outcome is less likely to happen.

Instead, a film about Hulk’s struggle to get where he is now would be a brilliant character study. The man having to go head to head with the monster would be a Marvel film like no other. No big bad to fight at the end - it’s just Banner and The Hulk fighting for control.
