- Misfits are an American band often recognized as the progenitors of the horror punk subgenre, blending punk rock and other musical influences with horror film themes and imagery.

| - Misfits is a British Speculative Fiction series about a group of young offenders on a community service programme, who get caught in a freak electrical storm that imbues them with superpowers. The series debuted in November 2009 and the second series aired the following year with a bonus Christmas special. A third was broadcast in late 2011, minus Robert Sheehan (Nathan) and a fourth series has been confirmed for 2012. It won the BAFTA award for Best Drama Series in 2010. The 'Misfits' are a group of five 20-somethings who are united by a series of traumatic events, and the emergence of their freaky new superpowers. These newfound abilities all relate to their deepest personality traits and psychological drives; turning their desires into realities, and their greatest weaknesses into weapons. Curtis is a former star athlete who was caught in possession of cocaine and publicly shamed - haunted by regret, Curtis develops the power to manipulate time. Simon, a shy and intensely introverted young man who has been ignored and bullied all his life, develops the power to turn invisible. Mouthy and aggressive Kelly, always worried about what people think of her, is granted the power of Telepathy. Shallow and vain party girl Alisha, who flaunts her sex appeal in order to use and abuse the men around her, develops the ability to inspire uncontrollable lust in anyone who touches her skin. The last Misfit, snarky Jerkass Nathan, at first doesn't seem to have a power, much to his consternation. It turns out that he's immortal and can talk to the spirits of the dead. In series three, Nathan has left to seek his fortune in Vegas, and has been replaced by Rudy, who has confidence issues resulting in a Literal Split Personality. The other characters have all swapped their original powers for new ones - Alisha now can see through other people's eyes, Simon can see briefly into the future, Kelly is a rocket scientist, and Curtis can change his sex. The Series is described by The Other Wiki as a "live-action superhero comedy drama", but is more frequently deemed Heroes with ASBOs. Not to be confused with the band of the same name. Or Misfits of Science, which has a similar premise.

The Misfits disbanded in 1983 and Danzig went on to form Samhain and then the eponymous Danzig. Several albums of reissued and previously unreleased material were issued after the group's dissolution, and their music became influential to punk rock, heavy metal, and alternative rock music of the late 1990s and early 2000s. After a series of legal battles with Danzig, Only and Doyle regained the rights to record and perform as the Misfits. They formed a new version of the band in 1995 with singer Michale Gravesand drummer Dr. Chud. This incarnation of the Misfits had a sound much more rooted in heavy metal, and released the albums American Psycho (1997) and Famous Monsters (1999) before dissolving in 2000. Jerry Only then took over lead vocals and recruited former Black Flag guitarist Dez Cadena and former Ramones drummer Marky Ramone for a Misfits 25th Anniversary tour. This lineup released an album of cover songs entitled Project 1950 and toured for several years. In 2005 Ramone was replaced by Robo, who had played with Black Flag in the early 1980s and had also previously been the Misfits' drummer from 1982 to 1983. This lineup released a single titled "Land of the Dead" in 2009. The Misfits' current lineup of Only, Cadena, and drummer Eric "Chupacabra" Arce released a new album titled The Devil's Rain in October 2011.
