Okay, what???

The would be a lot easier for me to explain if I had any clue as to the identities of Feral and Thornn.

And you claim to love comics.

Feral was the psycho cat-girl who was an original member of X-Force. Thornn was her part-time terrorist cat-girl sister. After the revelation that Feral murdered their mother, both were arrested and carted off to jail; apparently Jeph Loeb recently decided that every Marvel character with fur was descended from mystic wolf-people and brought them back to be cannon fodder in an incomprehensible story about how Wolverine and Sabertooth were destined to be enemies because, according to recently-discovered prophecy, there's always a dark-haired wolf guy and a blonde-haired wolf guy at each others' throats among the wolf people.

... Yeah.

whoops, left off the quote: "A powerful case can be made that this is the worst Wolverine storyline of all time."

This is a bold claim, but quite possibly accurate.

Please, can we declare a moratorium on mystic prophecies for Marvel characters? Please?

Loeb needs to stop.

What if the blonde / dark prophecy actually refers to Tigra and Werewolf by Night? FITE!

What about all of these wolf people who have NOTHING TO DO WITH WOLVES (Feral, Thornn, Sasquatch, SABERTOOTH)?

"You know what would be better than the cat/dog antipathy underlying the Sabertooth/Wolverine relationship? If they were both DESCENDED FROM MAGIC WOLVES!"

"Isn't Sabertooth a cat?"

"...Details."

Also not a wolf: Wolverine.

WOLFERINE, NEVER FORGET

So wait, is Sabertooth dead now?

Wolverines = Mustelids, which are definitely not wolves.

Taxonomy FTW.

This just in: Scott Summers has TWO EYES!!11!!11

Also, where does this leave John Jameson, MAN-WOLF?

And Squirrel Girl.

Squirrels are as closely related to wolves as cats and wolverines. And Sasquatcheseses. Sasquacthi. Sasaskatcacti.

Loeb!
