Still, FYC:Â
Doctor Mordrid (1992) (a result of adaptation of Marvel's Dr. Strange being re-written)
Faust: Love of the Damned (2000)Â (an adaptation of brutal and cool Avatar Press comic)
Ichi the Killer (2001) (a very odd beast of a movie which adapts some aspect in a more superhero-like way then original manga portrays the plot; still more of a deconstruction)Â
Recently announced Brightburn also looks rather promising.Â

I added these three titles from your suggestions, the others were too lowly rated and not well-seen enough to be viable answer options.

WolfCop 2014 | Movie 5.5 (5,514)

Doctor Mordrid 1992 | Movie 5.8 (1,156)

I am a bit curious as to why you mostly don't feature sequels and yet Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) is there instead of Hellboy (2004)?Â

As to why Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) is there instead of Hellboy (2004), I can't remember my reasoning, but do remember it was a conscious choice. I rated both 7/10 personally and they seem to be close in aggregate rating and vote totals. I am not opposed to putting a sequel forward as the representative for a franchise. In most cases, i don't think are top of mind when most people think of the franchise though or the best movie for that matter. Of course, there are exceptions and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) is a worthy equal or likely slightly edged the original for the spot.
P.S. Also, when a movie gets up to 3,4, 5 or more installments it get repetitive and I the principle of diminishing returns come into play. However, I will take your implied advice and add Hellboy (2004) since we are only at 22 options.

Movies in the superhero horror genre usually feature superhero characters and have at least one of the following elements: they are monsters at the same time, they derive their powers from a supernatural source or they fight monsters and/or supernatural forces.

I'm mildly confused how Spider-Man 3 (2007) and Monsters vs. Aliens (2009) are considered horror. They're not listed in horror genres by IMDb.
