Antagonists in The Walking Dead universe are often complex, and one particular villain's story has been adapted and improved in Fear The Walking Dead. The main show has made various changes from the comics, introducing new characters and altering major storylines. The expansion of The Walking Dead's universe through spin-offs like Fear The Walking Dead has allowed for character crossovers and more deviations from the source material. One such crossover character is Dwight, whose path diverges from his comic story in Fear The Walking Dead's series finale. In both versions, Dwight takes on a leadership role to transform the Sanctuary into a safe haven.

However, the ending in Fear The Walking Dead is more optimistic and provides a hopeful resolution to Dwight's traumatic past. It also allows him to reconcile with Sherry and build a strong family unit. In contrast, Dwight's comic story is darker, with his eventual demise. While Dwight's plans for the Sanctuary in Fear The Walking Dead could still lead to tragic events, there is potential for new storylines and crossovers with other Walking Dead spin-offs. Dwight's fate remains uncertain, but his outcome is likely to be a positive one based on the series' hints.
