I’m really glad someone picked up Dani. I didn’t want them to put her out to pasture after New Mutants ended. I’m still not over Peter David writing Rahne off into a cabin in the woods with her wolf god baby.

I’ve only seen a bit of Dani, but I liked her in what I’ve read. Plus, Val and Misty are pretty great from what I’ve seen.

…wolf god baby? I have not heard about this, and…whaaat?

I’ve been reading up on Marvel Now stuff, hoping to see where a lot of the female characters I like are going to end up, if they end up anywhere. So the idea that there is going to be a book devoted to a lot of these characters who are underrated or haven’t ever been given their own books…I’m going to be cautiously optimistic and really hope the book will be well written.

In X-Force, right before the Necrosha crossover arc, a human version of Hrimhari, wolf prince of Asgard, visited Rahne. They had sex, got attacked by frost giants, and BOOM mystical pregnancy that almost killed Rahne because apparently the gestational period of wolf god babies is crazy fast. Elixir fixed things, which made Rahne invulnerable for the duration of the pregnancy.

Then Rahne went back to X-Factor and things continued to be complicated, then mystical forces wanted to steal the baby, and she gave birth to it by puking it out. Yes. Vomitbirth. It was a werewolf and Rahne initially rejected it and it ran off. Once Rahne eventually worked her issues out and went looking for it, kid had superaged and is roughly the size of a ten or twelve year old.

So now Rahne is stuck in the wilds of Canada with a kid who is, as far as physical appearances go, is about half her age.
