    Default Are there street-level magicians/occultists in Marvel?

    I'd love to read occult/horror stuff in Marvel... but something more urban/street-level than Dr. Strange. Is there anything more like Constantine in Marvel?

    Closest thing I found is Gabriel the Devil Hunter.

    Perhaps early Brother Voodoo? He's been powered up(like most heroes) but was more street level(Caribbean street often) when introduced. If you like 1970s-1980s marvel, he's worth a shot.

    His Marvel Masterworks is available on Amazon for $42.

    Depends on your definition.

    If you mean "people handling magical threats at a local level", you have everything from Blade to recent Moon Knight issues. But very few of them have been spellcasters, because of power creep.

    OTOH, Strange, Scarlet Witch & Doctor Voodoo have all operated on that level at times. it's usually less "occult detective" and more "magical consultant", however.

    Ha! I haven't read this comic, but these characters seem to be kind of a spoof of occult heroes in comics...Constance is a chain smoking blonde in a trench coast ( DC's Constantine), Inspector Strangefoot was taught by an ancient one in Tibet and wants to be called "Dr" ( Dr Strange)...

    Most Constantine-like I think of are Warren Ellis's versions of HELLSTORM and DRUID, but even then they outpower because of being the Son of Satan and Sorcerer not Supreme but Okay Enough..

    Scarlet Witch did that in her 2015 run but it had an international flavor.

    HANNIBAL KING (not the Blade movie version as played by Ryan Reynolds, that was a MAJOR character shift)

    Wasn't he more of a vampire detective than a street-level occultist/magician?

    A fair mention. It was about her traveling the world to solve magic problems with much of it being in real locations and not in random magical lands though those are there too in the form of the Witches' Road.


    This is a good moment though to clear something up though since people seem to have different definitions about what they mean with "Street-Level". While the locations might be deemed street level, the Scarlet Witch herself definitely isn't. There is for example a sequence where an entire group of armed robbers is shooting at her and she puts them all down easily with no challenge so if you define street-level as the protagonist being actually challenged by the dangers that the streets could produce then that run wouldn't be for you.

    Like others have said there probably won't be many that will fit that criteria. Especially spellcasters and it's kinda logical if you think about it.
