Actually, Rahne was the very first New Mutant, ever. Rahne attended the Xavier Institute and became part of his team, the New Mutants. Through a string of events, Rahne would become one his first new students since his X-Men long ago. Here, Rahne met Professor X who had a school in New York for young mutants. Major Story Arcs The New Mutants New Mutants Wolfsbane was created by Bob McLeod and Chris Claremont and she first appeared in Marvel Graphic Novel #4. Thus, Rahne was constantly in deep emotional conflict with herself and her mutant nature never allowing herself to truly enjoy life. She claimed when she viewed her reflection in the mirror, she only saw the face of the "devil." Due to this any joy she felt from her powers would quickly go away and replaced with many negative ones. At her core Rahne would feel wrong, guilty for these emotions. Though most would openly accept this Rahne would not. When in wolf form, Rahne felt emotions of pure joy, freedom and happiness. Although she was in a place where powers were very normal, accepted even, she was still at odds with herself. The hardest part for her was her own mutant powers. Due to her religious upbringing she was also very uncomfortable with topics of mythology or magic. She also became even shyer than she already was and had intense melancholy tendencies. She, too, grew to become emotionally repressed, self loathing, and became very guilty during any times of happiness. She was already a very shy, soft spoken and an insecure girl by nature. As a result of 14 years being raised by Reverend Craig, she was very much mentally affected. Moira ended up legally adopting Rahne and brought her to her research facilities on Muir Island where she would continue to raise her.Īlthough Rahne was now in a much better place and cared for properly, she was still quite far from normal. From that point on Rahne would consider Moira as her mother and the same in reverse from Moira MacTaggert. This would be the first time anyone ever cared for her unconditionally and treated her as a person. There she remained, taken care of and cared for by Moira and free from Rev. Realizing who she was and what was going on, Moira quickly took her into her home and protected Rahne from Rev. As she fell, she reverted to her human form. As she passed Moira, Rahne succumbed to her pain and exhaustion and fell to the ground. Her fate all but sealed, still running Rahne chanced upon one of the villagers named Moira MacTaggert, coincidentally the doctor that delivered her 14 years prior. She continued to run but with the injury she was weakened and her energies depleted fast. He managed to connect with one of his shots but only grazing her and causing surface wounds. Not being far behind her, one of the mob members would pull out a gun and shoot at her. Knowing their plans, Rahne had no intentions of getting caught or allowing them to perform their exorcism. He believed that her powers were actually signs that she was possessed by the "devil." To rid her of the "devil", he was going to burn her at the stake. It was her would-be-father's plan to capture her and perform an exorcism on her. Finding out, she would change to a wolf and run for her life. They would quickly form and begin their hunt for her. He would gather together a large group of his religious fanatical followers and form a mob intent on capturing Rahne. Craig would find out and would take actions against her. This would result in her meeting people who would truly care for her and accept her for who she was. The best: because these powers would make her a mutant. It would be the emergence of her mutant powers of lycanthropy, the ability to transform to and from a wolf. Rahne would grow through the years and become almost painfully shy, introverted and a very emotionally repressed individual.Īt the age of 14, Rahne would have both the best and worst thing possible happen to her in her still short life. This coming from her would-be father would affect Rahne greatly and cause her immense internal anguish. From early on he worked hard to instill a sense of guilt in his young ward, and piled on harsh criticism whenever possible. He was ashamed of the illicit activities that ultimately resulted in Rahne's birth, and raised her very strictly. Reverend Craig was a religious fundamentalist with a strong sense of faith, but he was also a cruel, mean-spirited man who often took to drinking. She became a ward of the church and became the responsibility of the man who happened to be her father (she would not discover this for many years). The child of a priest ( Reverend Craig) and a prostitute, Rahne was unwanted by both her father and mother, the latter of whom died giving birth to her. Rahne Sinclair was born in Kinross, Scotland.
