Storyline

- GoofsIncorrectly regarded as a goof. Wild wolves did leave Kansas for a while, but have since started to return.
- Quotes
Brandon Breyer: Who am I?
Tori Breyer: You're our son.
Brandon Breyer: What is this? Where did I come from?
Tori Breyer: Listen, baby, I... I know it's been difficult for you lately, that you feel different from other kids. You *are* different. After your dad and I got married, we prayed for a baby for so long, to God, to the universe, to anyone that would listen. One night, one perfect night, someone listened.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: There are a few short scenes during the first part of the end credits where news reports and a conspiracy theorist reveal there are other super beings, including a half-man/half-sea creature and a witch who chokes her victims with a rope.
- Alternate versionsThe UK version is cut in two scenes to reduce strong gory images in order to obtain a '15' rating.
