Who are the New Mutants?

Rahne Sinclair/Wolfsbane

Rahne Sinclair, also known as Wolfsbane, is from Scotland. He is an illegitimate child of unknown names. Her mother died in childbirth and the girl probably bears her last name, although this has not been officially confirmed. The orphan was taken care of by a Presbyterian priest named Craig. It is quite possible that he was her real father, but there is no evidence for that either. Either way, Rahne did not have an easy childhood. She was brought up according to strict discipline, without any love, but in the conviction that for the slightest sin she could go to hell. For this reason, she had considerable mental problems in the future. At the age of thirteen, her powers made themselves felt. The girl began to turn into a wolf. Her guardian saw this as Satan’s actions and decided to get rid of the demon by killing Rahne. To this end, he even organized a manhunt, summoning local residents to help. However, the mutant managed to escape. Injured and exhausted, she ended up at Moira MacTagger’s estate, which not only saved her from a clergyman, but also adopted, and then took her to the United States to introduce her to her friend – Charles Xavier. It was he who explained to her that the powers did not come from the devil and she did not need to fear them. Rahne quickly became friends with Dani Moonstar and helped defeat Donald Pierce and his men at the Hellfire Club. During her numerous adventures she was, among others kidnapped and drugged. This event would probably have ended her death if Cloak, Dagger and Spider-Man had not come to her aid. Unfortunately, after a while the narcotic drugs influenced her, completely changing her personality. Then she attacked her recent saviors, taking away the powers of two of them. In this case, the three were helped by another New Mutants member – Magic – who restored everything to normal. It is also worth mentioning that Rahne was considered the goddess and mother of Remus and Romulus in Nova Roma, as well as her lover, Hrimhari, whom she met while visiting Asgard.

As for Rahne Sinclair’s personality, she was a very shy person through the influence of Reverend Craig. She has always had problems with making friends, especially with men. In addition, she had huge complexes about her appearance and for a very long time considered herself extremely unattractive, even repulsive. And although she understood that her power was not a curse and no demon lived in her, the fear of Hell was in her almost all the time.

Finally, let’s mention the powers of Rahne. Even her nickname, Wolfsbane, seems to speak for itself. The mutant can be safely called a lycanthrope. As I mentioned, she was able to turn into a wolf as a child and did not need a full moon for that. Over time, she also learned to take an intermediate form between humans and animals, transforming into a typical werewolf. After such a transformation, her physical strength, agility and reflexes always increase, as well as the senses such as smell, sight and hearing sharpen. When it takes its unusual form, it also activates a regenerating factor that has not been fully tested so far. It is known, however, that most of the wounds inflicted on her heal almost immediately. What is important,

In New Mutants , the role of Wolfsbane will be played by Maisie Williams, who most viewers know primarily as Arya Stark from the TV series Game of Thrones . On the screen we will also see the figure of Pastor Craig, played by Happy Anderson.
