Back for More Punishment

YOST: Big surprises in the months ahead, and everything changes by the end of the next arc, the one after 'Not Forgotten.' But before that, the team is reunited as Wolfsbane returns.

NRAMA: Rahne is going to be returning to the group—how has she changed now that she has love in her life?


YOST: I think by the time she gets back, she's in a different place. Rahne is a strong character that's gone through a lot. But it takes more to keep her down. Luckily, we've got more.

Sweet and Sour

It's official. New Mutants Reunion.

Interview with writer Zeb Wells here, in which Wells says:

"Wolfsbane won’t be playing a large role in New Mutants, as she’s being used (and used incredibly well) by Craig Kyle and Chris Yost in "X-Force." If she ever becomes available we’ll see how she fits into the team, but I’ll admit that I’m in no hurry to see that happen."

Wolfsbane Logo

Wolfsbane, Rahne's codename, is taken from the plant of the same name.

Wolfsbane: Any of several poisonous perennial herbs of the genus Aconitum, especially A. lycoctonum, native to northern Europe, having broad rounded leaves, elongate racemes, and light purple flowers." The plant was used by ancient Europeans to poison wolves. If ingested, it can be fatal. It used to always bug me that they could not have come up with anything more appropriate than that. It's not unlike giving Peter Parker the codename D-Con or Raid...or Arachnicide.

The Wolfsbane logo has only appeared in one comic: Marvel Presents #22.
