Powers & History: Feral is a catlike mutant with fangs, claws and a tail. She possesses above-average speed and excellent senses of smell and hearing. Extremely dangerous. As a child, Feral murdered her family, except for her sister Lucia. She feld home and joined the Morlocks, but refused to submit to Masque's manaiacal rule, and ended up escaping into the sub-levels of the X-Mansion. Cable, who was living there with the newmutants.html">New Mutants, accepted Feral into his team. Trouble quickly brewed, as Feral nearly gutted Cannonball during a training session. However, things settled down, and Feral even began to develop a sort of relationship with Shatterstar (she thought he was cute, and he wanted nothing to do with her). Things finally came to a head, though, when X-Force had to rescue H.P. Gyrich from the M.L.F. Both Gyrich and Reignfire taunted Feral about her mutation and the futility of Cable's mission, and she ended up defecting to the M.L.F. After Feral left the M.L.F. months later, she was eventually brought to justice for her family's murders by X-Force and a boyhood friend who had become a cop. During her jail time, Feral discovered that she was dying of the Legacy Virus. Somehow, she escaped or was released from prison and joined other Legacy sufferers in an attempt to steal the High Evolutionary's Isotope E, which appeared to be a possible cure. When that failed, Feral joined up with the New Hellions, determined to make others suffer as she was suffering.
Apparently, following Colossus's release of the Legacy cure, Feral had a change of heart, and was recruited into the X-Corporation's Mumbai, India office along with her sister and her former teammate Warpath. She appeared to enjoy the iconic celebrity status that being a mutant now gives her.
