Some time after her mental damage from the Genoshan bonding process was undone, she returned to MacTaggert's base on Muir Island and joined Excalibur. Wolfsbane was swiftly defeated in the penultimate confrontation later everything was restored. Another free-willed superhero army soon followed. Wolfsbane, along with many other religious heroes, was brainwashed as part of her army and taken to an alternate Earth on the opposite side of the sun. During the 'Crusade', Wolfsbane's deep religious beliefs led her to be approached by the main villain, the Goddess. Various evil doubles attack the building and the assembled heroes. During the first event, she was part of the rear guard who stayed behind on Earth at the Fantastic Four headquarters. During this time she appears in Infinity War and Infinity Crusade. The Genoshan damage was eventually undone by Haven. Her instability also manifested in many odd dreams, where her identity was subsumed into pop culture figures. She went through more than one attempt to undo her bonding, with varying results. She stayed in varying half-wolf forms for this time, as turning completely human would subsume her identity into the mutate process that the Genoshans had put her into. Her bond with Havok was difficult, causing her to act irrationally, sometimes threatening teammates, sometimes by flirting with them. Later, she began an innocent romance with Rictor, but this proved to be short-lived.ĭuring X-Tinction Agenda in Genosha, Rahne was mentally bonded to Havok, and was subsequently manipulated by the Shadow King this led to her joining X-Factor as a United States government special operative. She confesses to Rictor that Garm's face, 'that devil's face', is what she sometimes perceives when looking into the mirror.

On one of her two visits to Asgard, she met the demonic Garm, a gigantic wolf who guards the entrance to the netherworld. Rahne began a relationship with teammate Cypher, and was devastated when he was killed by the Ani-Mator. She was disturbed to find herself attracted to Hrimhari, a shapeshifting wolf prince while in Asgard.

These feelings were at odds with the pure joy she found in using her powers, causing a deep emotional conflict. Rahne's strict religious upbringing often made her uncomfortable when dealing with mythological entities, her sorceress teammate Magik, or demons, as well as making her uncomfortable almost to the point of self-loathing with her superhuman power, which resembles the transformations of a werewolf. Danielle discovered she was able to establish a psychic link with Rahne when the latter was in wolf or wolfoid form. Although she was a shy, emotionally repressed girl, Rahne managed to build a strong friendship with Danielle Moonstar and harbor a crush on Sam Guthrie. Rahne was the youngest of the New Mutants, who often operated as adventurers when not in school. Later, when she confronted Reverend Craig as an adult, she learned that Reverend Craig was actually her biological father and that her mother had been a prostitute. Rahne was rescued and later adopted by Moira MacTaggert. When she was revealed as a mutant, Reverend Craig led an angry mob intending to burn her at the stake. Rahne was raised as an orphan by an abusive pastor named Reverend Craig who beat religion into her from an early age. She remained with that team for much of its existence. She was recruited by Professor X to become a student at his School for Gifted Youngsters, and to join the original New Mutants. When Kitty and the New Mutants went on a field trip to help Hank, she and Roberto were shown flirting and later looking at each other at the lake, indicating a budding relationship.Rahne (pronounced 'Rain') is a British citizen of Scottish descent (born somewhere in Ross and Cromarty) who was a ward of Moira MacTaggert. Rahne respects Kitty as an older member of the X-Men, which was displayed when Kitty asked her to track Hank. Rahne appears to respect and care for Hank, shown when she and the other X-Men searched and defended him from the hunters. Rahne also likes to tease people, specifically Roberto. She seems to like helping others, shown when she helped Jamie with his history test. Rahne appears to be an open and outgoing mutant, often seen playing with the other New Mutants. She can also stop the transformation halfway, which makes her resemble a werewolf. Rahne can shapeshift into a red wolf, being unable to talk while in this form.

After the X-Men defeated Apocalypse, Charles Xavier saw a vision of Rahne returning to the X-Men. She left the school after the destruction of the mansion made her parents fear for her safety. Rahne came from Scotland to the Xavier Mansion to be part of the New Mutants, a younger generation of mutants who would help and possibly replace the X-Men.
