Man Cub

Man Cub is an American action-adventure comic book series based on the Jungle Book by English author Rudyard Kipling. The comic reinvents the concept of the Jungle Book, featuring eight different "man cubs" who were adopted by eight different animal tribes.

Main

 * Mowgli - the main protagonist of the comic who was adopted by the wolves. He is a trickster, often playing pranks on other, but becomes rather serious when the situation calls for it.
 * Bagheera - a black panther who serves as Mowgli's teacher and is incredibly wise. He respects the Laws of the Jungle above everything else and is very serious-minded.
 * Baloo - a bear who is Mowgli's best friend and is a lot calmer compared to Baheera. Baloo is a lot like Mowgli, being a prankster and enjoying having fun.

Recurring

 * Raksha - the Wolf Mother who adopts Mowgli and is extremely caring towards him.
 * Daruka - Mowgli's adopted father who is far more cautious of him.
 * Akela - the leader of the Seeonee Wolf Pack.
 * Bandar-Log, a tribe of monkies who aren't generally liked.
 * King Louie - a wise monkey king who refers to himself as the Jungle V.I.P.
 * Okiba - Louie's human who, like other monkies, is extremely mischievous.
 * Hathi - the "True Master of the Jungle" who is one of the jungle's oldest animals and is known for his patience and intelligence.
 * Likoana - a human female who takes after Hathi and is very monk or sage-like.
 * Kaa - an extremely long snake who is very wise but is feared by almost everyone due to his unorthodox nature.

Antagonists

 * Shere Khan - the tiger king of the jungle who is hated by almost everyone due to him not respecting the Laws of the Jungle.
 * Shyska - a human who was raised by Shere Khan and is Mowgli's exact opposite.
 * Tabaqui - Shere Khan's cowardly jackal companion.
 * Green Teeth - a vicious crocodile who is known for its anger.

Trivia

 * Just like in the original book, everyone is afraid of the "red flower" except for the humans.
