(Strange isn't the only Marvel hero with a Philly connection. In fact, the cradle of liberty seems to be a hub for the creepy and supernatural. Flash Thompson, former high school bully to Peter Parker and current host to the alien symbiote Venom, lived here a couple of years back. After a brief stint and trial in outer space, Thompson is back in Philadelphia. Then there's Jack Russell, Werewolf by Night, whose mournful howls can still be heard from the warehouse where he shackles himself on nights when the moon is full. That's probably Fishtown, if we had to guess. )
