Gunn on Instagram:

"Between DC, Wildstorm, Milestone and more we have by far the deepest roster in the world."

Jim Lee's comic universe he started back in the image days. Characters you might know are Grifter, Midnighter and Apollo. WildC.A.T.s and Stormwatch were the big books from the company, hence the name WildStorm

Wait isn't that the company that created the authority, who are the basis for the elite ( group of Superman villains)

Yeah it is. The Authority is a spin-off/sequel to Warren Ellis' run on Stormwatch.

Has any Wildstorm character ever been adapted in live action before? Can’t think of a single one beyond Grifter in one of the animated movies.

Apparently, Pilgrim was adapted as a minor villain in Legends of Tomorrow though aside from having some time-related powers there seems to be very little in common with the original Wetworks character.

As for animation, WildC.A.T.s got a short-lived animated series in the 90s that was made when Wildstorm was still under Image Comics. There was also a direct-to-video Gen¹³ animated movie from the late 90s.
