Yeah, the idea of his parents being killed when he's young and learning a magical ability was inspired by Iron Fist, the fact that a lot more than you think happened before he returned home is inspired by Green Arrow as he is in the Arrow TV series, along with him having a sibling at home who was saved a traumatising fate. As for Vixen, when it was announced she'd be appearing in Arrow, I read up on the character because I didn't know much about her, and the idea of channelling animal powers connected with me, because I've always been a huge fan of werewolves and similar creatures (werejaguars being a favourite of mine), and the ideas quickly built up around that, and Jaguar was born.

Dubhan is a personal favourite of mine, and I already had a heap of backstory for him, and so too much put on top of that felt like an overload. I was researching mythology on heralds of death, as I liked that aspect of Hellhounds, and when I came across the Grim Reaper page it clicked with me and fits with his backstory anyway in a way I'm really happy with, so I went with the 'Reaper' idea.

I see where you're coming from, the Panther's similar to Magneto in the sense that he's a member of a gifted subsidiary of humanity and feels entitled to their leadership (coughdictatorshipcoughcough), but is quite obviously unfit for the role. As mentioned in the 'Species' section, Were-panthers are the result of certain Nagual forms being corrupted by dark souls, which is a sort of irony that he's talking about purity among the mystic, but is himself a corruption of the norm.
