Major Story Arcs

Being the Daughter of Wolverine

Rina's life started relatively normal as she attended a normal highschool, had normal friends and both her father Wolverine and her mother had seemingly mostly retired from active life in the superhero community. Rina did however make her own secret identity as she became "Wild Thing", unknown to everybody as the daughter of Wolverine. Things soon changed when trouble seemed to follow Rina wherever she went. Her adventures through high school let her to fighting a speedster, a computerized assassin, a demon, and a Prime Sentinel, all while under the guise of "Wild Thing." She also fought her half-brother Sabreclaw. Rina eventually joined forces with J2, Magneta, and Daze to create a super team, but ultimately left the group when it became apparent Magneta was harboring evil intentions. Rina seems to have a crush on J2 and vice verse.

Last Hero Standing

During Last Hero Standing, Loki captured many of Earth's heroes (including Rina's father, Logan),Wild Thing was able to track down her father and the other heroes and thus save them from the hands of Loki.

Powers and Abilities

Regenerative Healing Factor

Just like her father and brother Sabreclaw, Rina's primary mutant power is an accelerated healing factor. This healing factor allows her to regenerate damaged or destroyed bodily tissues far more extensively and faster than a normal human is capable of. Injuries that result in great tissue damage or loss, such as multiple gunshot or knife wounds, heal completely within a matter of minutes. Aside from the tissue regenerative qualities of her healing factor, Rina is immune to the effects of most drugs and toxins as well as to all known diseases and infections just like her father. As with her father's healing factor, Rina's grants her an extended lifespan by causing her to age much slower than a normal human.

Superhuman Acute Senses

Rina's senses of sight, smell, and hearing are enhanced to levels comparable to those of certain animals. She is capable of seeing and hearing with much greater clarity and at much greater distances than an ordinary human. She can also use her highly acute sense of smell to recognize people or objects by their scent, even to the point of tracking them if necessary.

Strength

Rina possess super strength enhanced stamina, agility and reflexes, making her able to move quicker and fight longer than a normal human being.

Psychokinetic Claws

Rina possesses psychokinetic abilities that allow her to manifest "Psi-Claws" on the backs of her hands, with abilities similar to Psylocke's "Psi-blades." Psylocke actually played an integral part in helping Rina develop her Psi-Claws, and is known to be the girl's acting Godmother. The Psi-Claws resemble, equally, Wolverine's claws and the sais that Elektra wields. The range of the damage Wild Thing can do with her claws is relatively unknown, but the Psi-Claws largely affect others on a mental, rather than physical, level. Essentially, they tear at the mind rather than the flesh. In some instance Rina is able to cut through steel and stone with her Psi-Claws, but it required an immense amount of effort and concentration.

Unarmed Combat

Rina is a master of hand-to-hand combat, stealth, and any various numbers of melee weaponry. Her martial arts abilities are strong enough that she can hold her own against J2, the son of Juggernaut, despite his superior strength and endurance. Rina's limits as a hand to hand combatant were tested when she held her own against a group of Wendigos. She has even taken a direct hit from the Hulk and quickly recovered.
