-Ahhhh Feral, one of Rob Liefeld's creations, and he shows through in every facet of her being: wrist-hiding gloves (even though she HAS CLAWS), giant spikey haircut, pointy costume. Pretty blatantly a Wolverine rip-off (claws, regeneration, animalistic nature and attitude), and a weird situation where she was clearly a stand-in for Wolfsbane, who left the New Mutants following the X-Tinction Agenda. Especially weird since later artists like Andy Kubert & Greg Capullo gave them the exact same haircut, and that Liefeld could've used Wolfsbane if he'd wanted.
-Feral was a complete misfit on X-Force, nearly murdering Cannonball on a TRAINING MISSION just because she was angry, and then nobody mentioning it afterwards, because the 90s were like that (badasses who did horrible things without repurcussion), and repeatedly maiming or slashing foes. By the time she finally betrayed the team to join Reignfire's MLF, she was the most hated member BY FAR (judging by the letters page and the internet), and she vanished for years, getting the Legacy Virus after a brief MLF/X-Force battle later. She was cured and then turned human by the Scarlet Witch's Negation Wave thingie, then murdered by Sabretooth simply to get her and her similarly-generic and boring sister Thornn out of the way.
-Yeah, she had a sister named Thornn. She was a villain at first, fighting Feral & X-Force with Morlock aid, but then turned into a hero suddenly in an arc that revealed Feral's sordid past, where she killed several members of her family. Yeah, Feral was nutsoid and belonged nowhere near a HERO team, vigilantes or not.
-Feral's pretty much a Wolverine clone in her stats, minus a few Power Levels and a ton of points. She's reasonably skilled, but mostly in sneaking around or scaring people, and she's focused entirely on Scrapping. She gets most of the "Animal Person" powers that I give people, such as Senses, Leaping, Speed, Regeneration (at minor levels, since it was never a huge part of her being, just a tendency to take brutal damage and be pretty much fine with it). She's one of the weaker X-Force members, which is generally obvious given how little she tends to do in battle against non-Mutant Liberation Front (ie. good) opponents.
