Teen Wolf (2011–2017)

Teen Wolf features significant LGBTQ+ characters like Mason Hewitt and Corey Bryant, whose relationship is depicted as healthy and affirming. Their identities are normalized within the narrative, and they are portrayed as complex, heroic figures whose struggles stem from supernatural threats, not their sexuality. The overall impact is strongly positive.

Malia Tate, a werecoyote, consistently uses her enhanced physical strength and claws to defeat male supernatural opponents in direct close-quarters combat. Kira Yukimura also uses her katana and Kitsune abilities to overcome male adversaries.

The lead character, Scott, was originally portrayed as white in the 1985 film. In the 2011 series, the character (Scott McCall) is played by Tyler Posey, who is biracial (white and Mexican-American), constituting a race swap from the source material.
