The original New Mutant, Wolfsbane (Rahne Sinclair) has the mutant power of lycanthropy. She is a woman of intense passion and great potential. She holds the record for being a part of more X-Teams then any one else. Edit
Origin of Rahne Sinclair (Wolfsbane).
The early years
The red haired lass known as Rahne (prounounced like "rain") Sinclair was born in her native land of Scotland. In the Scottish Highland town of Kinross, it would be the person who delivers her, geneticists Dr Moira MacTaggert, who would one day, not only save but change her life. Moira, herself, was the daughter of Lord Kinross and close friend of Professor Charles Xavier. Though this wouldn't happen for many years to come though.
Once delivered, her biological mother would die and she would be abandoned and left alone. The child would become a ward of the churn as she had no one to care for her. While there she was under the fanatical, religious, strict fundamentalist Reverend Craig. Reverend Craig would act as her legal guardian and made clear that Rahne was hated since birth. Unknown to all, even Rahne, Reverend Craig was actually her biological father and her mother was a prostitute. He was ashamed of the illicit relationship that would lead to Rahne's birth. It was due to this and only this that he acted as her guardian. Craig would raise Rahne in a very strict religous way as a Christian with strict Presbyterian teachings and treated her harshly all of the time. Never would he forget to give the young girl a healthy dose of guilt and extreme critizism on a daily basis. This coming from her would-be father would affect Rahne greatly and cause her immense internal anguish. Rahne would grow through the years and become almost painfully shy, introverted and a very emotionally repressed individual. Lucky her that Rev. Craig was there for her, lucky here indeed.
At the age of 14, Rahne would would have both the best and worst thing possible happen to her in her ,still, short life. It would be the emergence of her mutant powers of lycanthrope, the ability to tranform to and from a wolf. The best because these powers would make her a mutant. This would result in her meeting people would would truly care for her and accept her for who she was. Worst, because Rev. Craig would find out and would take actions against her. He would gather together a large group of his religous fanatical followers and form a mob intent on caputuring Rahne. They would quickly form and begin their hunt for her. Finding out, she would change to a wolf and run for her life. It was her, would-father's, plan to capture her and perform an exorcism on her. He believed that her powers where actually signs that she was possessed by the "devil." To rid her of the "devil", he was going to burn her at the stake. Knowing their plans, Rahne had no intentions of getting caught OR allowing them to to perform their exorcism. So, she ran like there was no tomorrow. Not being far behind her, one of the mob members would pull out a gun and shoot at her. He managed to connect with one of his shots but only grazing her and causing surface wounds. She continued to run but with the injury she was weakened and her energies depleted fast. Her fate all but sealed, still running Rahne chanced upon one of the villagers name Moira MacTaggert, coincidently the doctor that delivered her 14 years prior. As she passed Moia, Rahne succumbed to her pain and exhaustion and fell to the ground. As she fell, she reverted to her human form. Realizing who she was and what was going on, Moira quickly took her into her home and protected Rahne from Rev. Craig and his mob. There she remained, taken care of and cared for by Moira and free from Rev. Craig's evil intentions. This would be the first time anyone ever cared for her unconditionally and treated her as a person. From that point on Rahne would consider Moira as her mother and the same in reverse from Moira MacTaggert. Moira ended up legally adopting Rahne and brought her to her research facilities on Muir Island where she would continue to raise her.
A Girl Damaged
Although Rahne was now in a much better place and cared for properly, she was still quite far from normal. As a result of 14 years being raised by Reverend Craig she was very much mentally affected. She was already a very shy, soft spoken and an insecure girl by nature. She, too, grew to become emotionally repressed, self loathing and became very guilty during any times of happiness. She also became even more more shy then she already was and had intense melancholy tendencies. Due to her religious upbringing she was also very uncomfortable with topics of mythology or magic. The hardest part for her were her own mutant powers. Although she was in a place where powers were very normal, accepted even, she was still at odds with herself. When in wolf form, Rahne felt emotions of pure joy, freeness and happiness. Though most would openly accept this Rahne would not. At her core Rahne would feel wrong, guilty for these emotions. She claims when she views her relection in the mirror, she only sees 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. Thus, Rahne was constantly in deep emotional conflict with herself and her mutant nature never allowing herself to truly enjoy life.
Professor X & the New Mutants
Here, Rahne met Professor Professor X who had a school in New York for young mutants. Through a string of events, Rahne would become one his first new student since his X-Men long ago. Rahne attended the Xavier Institute and became part of his team, the New Mutants. Actually, Rahne was the very first New Mutant, ever. It was because of Rahne that Charles even considered the idea of teaching once again. It would be here that she would get her codename, Wolfsbane. While apart of the New Mutant, Rahne would befriend, create and grow many life long friendship with most all her team mates. Most notable would be those of Danielle Moonstar, Samuel Gutherie, Warlock, Doug Ramsay and Julio Richtor. Though she would encounter plently of wonderful things, the bad was never to far behind. The first of which was the death of one of her closest friends Doug Ramsay better known as Cypher. Making matters worse she had began to have feeling for her.
Death of Cypher
During one of the many adventures that the New Mutants went on they would befriend and, for a short while, recruit the Ani-Mate known as Bird Brain. Rahne and the New Mutants were fiercly loyal to their friends nad their newest recruit would be no different. They would find that Bird Brain came from an island were an evil scientist name the Ani-Mator experiemented on animals and gave them human like characteristics. Seeing the pain that Bird Brain was in hurt Rahne to the core and the New Mutants would set off immediately to the island to help. Once there the team would get caught in a fever pitch war pitting them against the Ani-Mator. Near the end of the battle he would draw a gun and aim for Wolfsbane, intent on killing her. He would have been successful except for the fact the Cypher would jump in the way taking the bullet and sustaining a mortal injury. Wolfsbane would run to his side and craddle him until he died. Another of the New Mutants, Magik, would make the Ani-Mator pay by sending him to her magical realm Limbo and sick her demons on him. The revenge was hollow especially since they would lose one of their own. Rahne would be greatly effected by his lose and to this day feels responsible.
X-Tinction Agenda
Wolfsbane's time with the New Mutants would columnate and end with the the events that would be known as the X-Tinction Agenda. All mutants, especially those that wore the "X" were targeted by one, Cameron Hodge. Once and ally of X-Factor, he now wished to kill them. His initial attack would have Wolfsbane, among others, captured and brought back to his base on Genosha. It was here that his Genoshan scientists and geneticists would experiement on mutants and have them placed in suit that would aid in their controlling them. Wolfsbane would be no exception. They experiemented on her multiple times first psychically bonded her to one of their soldiers them into her suit. Numerous more manipulations to Rahne would have her only respond to her new name, Mutate #490. Once done she was a loyal servent of Hodge's. Along with her, Warlock, one of her friends was also captured and experimented on aswell. After numerous battles the multiple teams of X-Men finally began to see the tides turn their way. The once controlled Wolfsbane who fought against all of her teammates and friends would also be saved, freed from her mind control. Sadly what followed would be yet another death of one of Wolfsbanes friends, this time Warlock. Furious, a berzerker rage took over and Wolfsbane went off separatly seeking Hodge. All of Hodge's experiments on Rahne had an unexpected effect. When she morphed she accessed her "absolute" form. Hulking in size and a strength to match. She would find Hodge and rip him to shreds, destroying him and putting an end to his war against mutants. When all was done, she realized that she was more changed then expected, mentally and physically. She was not able to morph back to her human form anymore, which meant she stayed nearly all the time in a transitional form. It was also later revealed that the soldier she was psychically bound to was none other then Alex Summers, Havok. Due to the many changes that she was going through, she would decide not to return with the New Mutants, but stay and sort things out. In the following days she would follow Havok everywhere, not cause she wanted to but because her mentel connection made it impossible not too. So, when the United States government wished to recreate X-Factor as a government sanctioned team with Havok as the leader, Wolfsbane membership soon followed.
X-Factor
Since X-Factor was a government sanctioned team, All member including Rahne would be forced to sign the Mutant Registration. The team would havr to follow orders according to their governement liasion, Val Cooper. As a part of X-Factor, Rahne went through many difficulties. The biggest was her mental connection to Havok. It made her unable ti control herself. She had false feeling of love for him and constantly had Havok on her mind. These false emotions put Wolfsbane and ends with one of her teammates Polaris. Polaris also had feeling for Havok but for her they were reciprocated. Jealous, Wolfsbane would act out at Polaris regularly and even fought her a couple of times. Though it started out rough she would have many positive experiences while on the team. She would also become bestfriends with Strong Guy and it would be here that she would meet future teammate Jamie Madrox then known as the Multiple Man.
Unfortunately during her time on the government sanctioned X-Factor she would see her bestfriend Strong Guy have a near fatal heartattack and Madrox would contract the mutant killing Legacy Virus. Strong Guys's health would have have him removed and he would be in a coma for a long while. As for Madrox, daily his health detiroriated and slowly began to die. Rahne would be devestated and barely able to cope especially since both occured near the same time.
In a chance encounter with a female mutant named Haven, it was stated that she could cure both Wolfsbane and Madrox of their ailments. Though her team disagreed Wolfsbane would take the chance to have her mind back and no longer be mentally bound to her team leader, Havok. Though the team plead for her not to, Wolfsbane would allow Haven to begin the process. Moments later in a blinding light there stood Rahne in her human form. A form she hadn't been able to change to since the experiments the Genoshan scientist did to her. She, too, had full control of her mind. Overwhelmed with joy and shedding tears of happiness, Rahne was finally cured. This happiness would soon dissapate as Haven would offer Madrox the chance to be healed. Unfortunately in his weak stated he would not survive and die on the spot. These events would put Rahne through an emotional rollercoaster that would lead to her offically quiting the team. Once she quit she would head back to Muir Island to recover in the care of her mother, Moira.
Excalibur
While in Muir Island Rahne would join yet another team the London based X-Team known as Excalibur where she would do a brief stint. They had been on Muir Island for a while at that point as their headquaters had been destroyed. When Excalibur disbanded, Rahne stayed on Muir Island, helping her adoptive mother Moira MacTaggert search for a cure to the Legacy Virus. Unfortunately, the island was attacked by the Brotherhood of Mutants, led by Mystique, and Moira was killed in an explosion set by the mutant terrorist, Mystique. Rahne tried as best she could to get revenge and defend her mother but was shot by Mystique with a version of Forge's Neutralizer. The same neutralizer that had depowered Storm, of the X-Men, many years prior. This gun would have the same effect on Rahne. Depowered and now truly alone with no family, Rahne spent time traveling across the United States. She used this time to come to terms with all of her loses. While she was on her own, she went through a complete personality change. She grew her hair out long and got peircings. She wore leather and opted for a motorcycle as her means of transportation. She no longer spoke with an accent and didn't allow her beliefs or old ways of thinking to hold her back from living. She was wild, free and unrestrained the way she always wanted to be.
While traveling, she happened upon the long time X-Men enemy Avalanche as he was attacking a city. Without a second thought Rahne decided she needed to take action. Wolfsbane would take him on, directly engaging him in battle even though she no longer had powers of her own. She managed to effectively incapacitate him and win, using gutsy moves and taking many dangerous chances. Her actions wouldn't go unnoticed and soon her came old allies in the X-Men to bring her back home.
Back at her old stomping grounds, the Xavier Institute.
She ended up back at Xavier's and even became part of the teaching staff as a mentor and squad advior for the Paragons squad. While an advisor, she accidently became involved with one of the students at the school. She started a relationship with student Josh Foley, Elixir one of the advisee's and wards of Rahne's bestfriend Danielle Moonstar. He would decide one night to try and heal her and try to restore her powers. His powers to alter genetics and was able to jump start Rahne's mutant abilities and repower her. Rahne's mutant powers had ben gone for so long, she was unable to cope with them and became very fragile. She would attack anyone she felt unconfortable with or simply did not like. Barely able to control her savage nature, Rahne restarted and then ended the relationship again. This time it was due to the secret being found out. The was fired from her post and left attempting to find a place where she could come to terms with the new beast within her.
X-Factor Investigations
Rahne set off for Mutant Town, where she been would help Jamie Madrox with his detective agency. For a time, Wolfsbane was also blackmailed by Emma Frost to keep a lookout on Wither an ex-student of Xavier's. It would be during this time, that Madrox reformed and renamed X-Factor as X-Factor Investigations, and Rahne became a member. She cut her hair very short and no longer hid her accent.
When Rictor was about to commit suicide, Rahne used a speaker phone to shout at him, and then tried to catch him (he was pushed of by a dupe of Madrox's), but Rictor was caught by M, who insulted Rahne while doing so.
When Layla Miller first joined the team, Rahne welcomed her and was very friendly. After Layla was taken back to the orphanage, Rahne and Jamie went there to see her, but when they weren't allowed, Rahne sniffed her out, the two of them suprised to see her black and blue. Rahne frightened all the children, because of what they did to Layla, and went to see the orphanage worker. The two tried to adopt Layla, but told that they weren't legally allowed to because X-Factor isn't a family, but the worker said that she has so much work going on, that if a chiild slipped through the cracks, she'd have no time to fill in a report, so they took Layla home.
Next, when X-Factor invaded Sigularity Investigations, Rahne tried to attack Elder Tryp, but was shown a vision of the future by him when he grabbed her head. She remained unconcious until M flew them out of there.
When the team went for a session with Doc Samson, Rahne told him what Elder Tryp showed her. It was a vision of her, in wolf form, standing over the corpses of a grown-up Layla and Jamie on their wedding night. She says she knows that she done it.
Next according to Jamie, Rahne hadn't spoken since their encounter with Tryp, and only just started again after seeing Samson. So, she went with Guido to visit Alix Buchanun, and she explained to Alix what happened to her husband.
Rictor and Rahne beat up a bunch of FBI agents, after they saw them attacking a young boy, mistaken them for bad guys, and were temporerily apprehended by the FBI.
The Isolationist arc brought a lot of different things for Rahne. First, Rahne slept with Rictor (Layla previously hinted that she liked him).
Rahne was then teleported away to an artic type place with Strong Guy and Madrox by the Isolationist. They were returned when Rictor figured out how to work the teleportation device/door.
During Messiah Complex, Rahne was drafted into the new incarnation of X-Force. The team were sent after Cable, and during a heated battle between X-Force, the Reavers and Cable, a Reaver mentioned Reverend Craig, and Rahne kicked him off a cliff. She then took part in the final battle on Muir Island, and bit Arclight's neck, but was then taken out of the battle by Riptide.
The Newly reformed X-Force
X-Force was disbanded after Messiah Complex, but Cyclops secretly re-formed the team to take out the Purifiers, permanantly which meant he wanted X-Force to kill them. Rahne yet again was a member of the team, but this time for personal reasons as she found that her father, Reverend Craig, was somehow involved with the Purifiers.
Rahne went ahead of the team into the Purifier's church, but was captured by them. Matthew Risman used her as a blackmail in an attempt to get the other members of X-Force to stand down. X-23 believed he was bluffing and attacked, and proving he wasn't bluffing he would shoot Wolfsbane. Thankfully Risman, only shot Rahne in the leg. X-23 realizes that she'd also been drugged with heroine. When X-Force stood down, X-23 sets off an explosion, but Risman managed to escape with Rahne in tow using a helicoptor.
Rahne is then seen strapped to a chair, with her eyes forcefully kept open. Reverend Craig enters the room and begins talking with her. Through the conversation she finds that her own father is a member of the Purifiers, the very men she is supposed to kill. Unbeknownst to all X-Force is on their way to rescue her.
Powers
Rahne Sinclair - Wolfsbane is a mutant metamorph, allowing her to change her physical form with concentration. Unlike other metamorphs her's is a very specific one better referred to as Lycanthrope, the ability to change to and from a wolf.
Lycanthrophy:
She is able, through mental concentration, transform herself into a wolf, while retaining most of her human intelligence, or into a transitional werewolf-like form which combines both human and lupine characteristics.
While her mutant powers are in use, Wolfsbane has 3 type of physical appearance. She can change completly in a wolf, a hybrid form taking on characteristics of both a human and wolf and her absolute form taking on the form of a huge werewolf like creature. She is covered with reddish brown fur and grew a tail. She also had reversed knee joints, an elongated snout and razor edged canines.
Although Wolfsbane can transform herself into a wolf, she is not a werewolf in the sense that there is nothing supernatural about her power. Her transformations are not dependent on the phases of the moon, and she has the same vulnerabilities to injury as does a normal wolf when she is in lupine form, and no special weakness against silver.
In addition to her physical features she, too, has a large number of superhuman attributes including:
Superhuman Speed:
Wolfsbane is capable of moving and running faster then the finest athlete while in her wolf form.
Superhuman Stamina & Durability:
Wolfsbane's muscles produce far less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the muscles of an average human. She can exert herself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue impairs her. Combined with her regenerative healing ability it allows for Wolfsbane to be more durable in battle. Thus allowing her to sustain more damage then the average before she is unable to perform in combat.
Regenerative Healing Factor:
Wolfsbane possess a healing factor, though not on par with Wolverine. She is able heal her wounds and restore her health at an accelerated rate.
Enhanced Agility:
Wolfsbane's natural agility, balance and coordination are enhanced to increased levels, similar to that of a wolf, but even greater then.
Enhanced Reflexes:
She possesses reflexes enhanced beyond that of the averabe human, match that of a wolf but greater.
Telepathic Rapport:
Rahne shares a telepathic rapport between both herself and longtime bestfriend Danielle Moonstar. This rapport allows both of them to mentally communicate with eachother over long distances. It also allows one another to know when the other is in great pain.
Hyper-Keen, Superhuman Senses:
She possesses superhumanly acute senses of sight, smell, taste and hearing comparable to, though incredibly stronger than, those of some animals such as dogs, cats and wolves.
Razor-Edged Canines & Sharp Claws:
Wolfsbane possesses claws at the tip of each finger. These claws are capable of cutting most conventional materials including flesh, bone, wood, stone, and some types of metals. She also has elongated canine teeth that she can use to rend flesh or even break through bone in combat situations.
Tail:
In wolf form, Wolfsbane tail provides greater balance allowing for more precise athletic movement.
Strength level:
Wolfsbane possesses superhuman strength enabling her to lift about 1 ton, though in her "absolute form her strenght levels have yet to be measured.
Special Skills
Wolfsbane is a formidable hand to hand combatant, trained in self defense in combat training by none other than the likes of Cable, Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Havok. A fearsome opponent she has held her own against the likes of Wolverine, Sabretooth and Feral many times over.
She is also an excellent tracker and hunter due to her enhanced senses with her mutant talents.
Rahne's surrogate mother, Moira MacTaggert was, when alive, the world's leading genetict. Rahne eager to learn apprenticed her mother and gave large amount of valuable knowledge. Rahne is skilled at Advanced First-Aid and Emergency Medical Training.
Wolfsbane is able to determine if someone is lieing by judging the person's emotional stated. She simply observes the changes in their heat patterns and the scents they give off.
Wolfsbane enhanced sight grants her the ability to see ultraviolet and infrard portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Thus allowing her to percieve objects or people in patterns of heat. She is also able to see is absolute darkness.
Limitations:
Rahne, as a result of her mutant nature, was initally unable to grow her hair(in human form) longer then a crop top. Though never explained, it may be as a result of internal mental inhibitors. For Rahne, beauty was a negative thing, as her father thought her. She may have affected her ability to grow her hair, herself.
Artificial Power Increase
Wolfsbane previous was only able to change in a wolf or wolf/human hybrid, only later her absolute form was franted to her. While she was a mutate on Muir Island, she was experimented on by their scientics. This occurred when she was being bonded and stuck into her mutate suit. Due to the further mutation they processed on her they inadvertantly induced, potentially, a secondary mutantion or simply gave her a power increase. Either way, the result allowed for greater size and strength. Roughly 8' on all four legs, 12' on her hind legs. A mass weighing nearly 1000lbs and an increase in all her other mutant attributes. The source of the additional mass is assumed to come from an extra dimensional source, but not yet revealed.
Clarification on powers
Wolfsbane retains virtually all of her human intelligence when she is in lupine form. However, as a wolf she might have difficulty at pattern recognition, or in comprehending particularly complicated concepts which she could understand somewhat more easily as a human. She does not possess a wolf's instincts, and therefore must learn how to use her lupine abilities. However, when she is in lupine form, since she then has a wolf's vocal organs, she cannot speak. But as a wolf she can achieve a degree of telepathic communication with her fellow ex-New Mutant Moonstar, Dani Moonstar.
Wolfsbane's "transitional form" combines elements of her human and lupine forms. In it she retains her full intelligence and is capable of speech. In transitional form Wolfsbane is less agile than she is as a wolf, but she is stronger than she is as a human being. She can stand erect and use her front paws as hands. She is still covered with fur in her transitional form, but the coat is thinner. At least some of her senses in transitional form are more acute than they are in her human form.
Wolfsbane's lupine and transitional forms are more massive than her human form. The source of this additional mass is unknown.

Alternate Realities
Earth-1991
Rahne of Terra
Here the New Mutants are represented as non-mutants living in a time very similar to the Dark Ages. Here, Rahne (Wolfsbane) is Princess, later Queen and Ruler of the World, Rain of Gesham. Members of her Royal household include: Tabby (Boom-Boom) her lady-in-waiting, her Prince consort Douglas Ramsey (Cypher) and her knights: Robert (Sunspot), Samuel (Cannonball) and Richard (Rictor).
None of the New Mutants in this reality have the powers of their original counterparts except for Rahne's knights Robert, Samuel and Richard. Though they are not mutants, they are granted their powers through the use of magical items.
Earth-1298
Mutant X Universe
In the Mutant X reality, Wolfsbane was a member of the Marauders. Her personality was very close to her mainstream Earth #616 counterpart. Apparently she was forced to join the Marauders and as a member she was the most level-headed of all the members. Last seen with her team led by Jubilee, also including a morbidly obese Cannonball, and facial deformed Husk and Sunspot, they failed the mission that they were sent on by their, unseen, employer. They were on the run in the Morlock tunnel trying to distance themselves from the fury of their employer. In the end Wolfsbane informs her team that there was no longer any need to run as their employer was already there. She deduced this by using her hyper keen senses. Their fates as a team or singly were never revealed.
Earth-1610
Ultimates Universe
Initally seen as part of a group of "circus freaks" she as initally looked at as a member of the goverment selected group of mutants called the New Mutants, led by Emma Frost. She would immediatly be decline by the president saying, "No to the wolf girl." She later appeared as a member of the new group called, Mutant Liberation Front led by Stryfe. She would be killed unfortunately by a Sentinel attack.
X-Men: The End
The End depicts the last story of the X-Men approximetly taking place 20 years in the future. Here, Wolfsbane, is still associated with the X-Men as part of the Senior staff at the Xavier Institute. She has appartently taken on leadership duties to some extent, acting very much like Cyclops. During the attack on the x-mansion she was attempting, as best she could, to save as many lives of the students. During the pitch of the battle it is revealed that there is a bomb set and was going to decimate the school. Through Wolfsbane's effort she manages to gather almost all the remaining student there and save them. Unfortunately she would not. She would get caught in the explosion and lost her life. Before she died though she would call out to her longtime best friend through their psychic rapport (Danielle Moonstar). Dani had been detained at Neverland Ranch on the blue side of the Moon. She was unable to go to the X-Men as the scientists, at Neverland, had a constant flow of drugs in her system. Rahne's cry for help during her death was so strong that it managed to pull Dani out of her fake coma. It was would be due these events that Dani would completly destroy Neverland Ranch and free all the mutants before she left to Asgard.
Earth-58163
House of M
Wolfsbane appeared on the cover along with the rest of Hellions,to the X-Men and New Mutants by Loki, giving them the choice of whether to stay or leave Asgard. Though only a few X-Men accept and stay, all but the SHIELD junior agent training unit, making the connection that she was a member of SHIELD. She never made an actual comic appearance though. As a result her character story was never revealed in this reality.
Earth-904
WHAT IF the X-Men Stayed in Asgard?
An offer is made three of the New Mutants remain in Asgard effectively putting an end to the group as a whole. Karma, Magma and Warlock would choose to leave returning to Earth and become fully fledged X-Men. Those that remain in Asgard dramatically change history there and most take on important roles while there. Wolfsbane becomes the Queen of Wolves and has three cubs/kids continuing the royal line.
Earth-?
Mys-Tech War
Wolfsbane appears in the reality along with her then teammates, X-Factor. It appears that they are the actual Earth #616 version. They arrive in the middle of the War that had been started, there to aid the hero's. Wolfsbane, along with most of her team, though would not see the end of the violent war as she get killed. Amidst magic and energy beams, apparently her wolf form just didn't hold up.
Earth-?
WHAT IF the All New, All Different X-Men didn't survive?
In this reality both the original X-Men and the "All New, All Different" X-Men perished in the battle against Krakoa, severely changing the events of the X-Men. All that remained was Professor X. Beast, who at the time was apart of the Avengers, would return to his old teacher to care for him in his time of need. Moira Mactaggert, an old friend, would Charles and would come with a very young Rahne (Wolfsbane). Rahne at this time was very young, so young that her powers had not naturally occurred yet. After checking on her longtime friend, Moira would return home to Muir Island taking her adoptive daughter with her.
A while later the world would be threaten by Count Nefaria and Professor X decided that he must do something. Along with Beast, they would create and use a machine that would find muatants around the world and automatically teleport them to any location, sending them to do battle against Count Nefaria. Included in the group of mutants would be the very young Wolfsbane, depite her powers not yet emerging, the machine was able to deduce that she was infact a mutant. Beast would be sent there as well as he was the last X-Men. Once together the team would fight Count Nefaria but would quickly find themselves overpowered. Professor X not having any other option would use his psionic powers to forcefully active Rahne's mutant powers and nature. By sheer chance, she managed to tip the scale and pull a victory for the mutants. When the group was done they would be teleported to Xavier. They would decided to stay together and become the next incarnation of the X-Men. Led by Beast the rest of the group would include: Warpath, Namorita, Siryn and the young Wolfsbane.

Homeworld of Morph, ex-member of the Exiles
The New Mutants of this reality were/are very similar to the mainstream counterpart of Earth #616 with an exception to the actual members of the team. The team consisted of Cannonball, Sunspot, Moonstar, Wolfsbane and Morph. Apparently in this reality Wolfsbane and Morph are great friends aswell with the other members of the New Mutants.
X-Men: Evolution (animated series)
In the second season of the animated cartoon X-Men: Evolution, Professor X recruits/enrolls a handful of new students at his Institute. Cannonball, Wolfsbane, Magma, Sunspot, Iceman, Jubilee, Berserker and Multiple Man are the new under class at Xavier's Institute and are called the New Mutants.
Earth-295
Age of Apocalypse
Originally seen only in her wolf form only, she was actually stuck in, she was always at the Dark Beast's side seeming to be his sidekick. It was later reveal that, she, along with all the other mutants at the Dark Beast's lab were all experimented on. Wolfbane, unable to deal with the traumatic experience, shifted to her wolf form as a defense. In her wolf for her higher brain functions were more limited. This meant less memory, which meant less pain. Similar to a dog, she followed the Dark Beast most evrywhere he went. Ap
