Macbeth is a recurring character in the television series Gargoyles. His backstory is a very loose version of the play, bearing similarities ... to the real Macbeth's actual history. Macbeth is an immortal who has a long link and grudge with a renegade Gargoyle, Demona, and originally harassed the Manhattan clan in hopes of drawing her to him. The Weird Sisters, taking the form of the three witches, had given them both immortality, and gave Macbeth the prophecy that he and his son, would each become king. Duncan had murdered the remaining Gargoyles in order to prevent the prophecy from coming true. Macbeth's reaction to the play sharply differs between fans and the series' creator, Greg Weisman.
