Alpha Flight: Wild Child Respect Thread

Well Darc summed it up pretty nicely, and yeah welcome to the wonderful and twisted world of Wild Child.

Originally posted by Darc_Light
Well, he's a little of both. Originaly, in Alpha Flight, he was apparently meant to have just been a human who was experimented on by the Secret Empire and altered using DNA from the mutant Wyre. In X-Factor, however, he was shown as having been a mutant beforehand, which is why the Secret Empire chose him for the project in the first place.
Officialy, last I checked, Kyle is a mutant who has been futher mutated by various groups, the Secret Empire, Department H, Weapon X.
Supposedly his original mutation was a bestial appearance, but in the flashbacks to before his alteration by the Secret Empire, he looks completely human...
Check out X-Factor #142 for the new version
and
Alpha Flight #118 for the original.
I hope that helps.

Welcome aboard and thanks for showing interest in Kyle. He really doesn't get the respect he deserves most of the time...

So it's not just me? His origin really is "confusing". Thanks for the answer, though. He's a great character.

You're welcome.
He also changed ages as well, in Alpha he was a young adult when he was captured, in X-Factor he was a young teenager, in fact, they listed his current age as 16, if I recall correctly...

All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z- #12:
Awesome history bio, but of course as shown with the scans the stats don't match up. Horrible level for fighting skills, just horrible. Guess Marvel didn't follow he was trained by the best in the world. Click HERE! to see what the stats mean

Yeah, Kyle always gets the short end of the stick, doesn't he. He's been toe to toe with Wyre, Wolverine, Sabretooth and countless others, held his own or better, but nobody seems to respect that... except US!
Respect!

I'll have to get that Handbook... ( :

Wolverine #53 [Vol.3]: Wolverine [Wild Child]
A newly upgraded Wild Child storms into Wakanda's palace and kidnapps Sabertooth. Wolverine follows the trail, and severly and I mean severly gets owned by Wild Child. His claws were poisoned and knocked Wolverine out for 2 days. Wolverine admited he was faster, and basically did nothing to Wild Child. I have no idea what happened to Wild Child, but wow.

Who is fur-face callin' a loser! That stinkin' runt!!!!
I love Kyle's new look, (He has HAIR again!!!!)
I hope he kills Creed, but I doubt it...
Thanks for the update!

Wolvie's a poor loser, and a wuss!

I posted the pic of Kyle and Logan on the Child of Darkness thread to show the Wildchild group there, I'm sorry, I should have asked, but I was excited... 😮 I'll credit you, and, if you want, I'll take it down. I just wanted them to see what he looks like now.

That's fine no need to take it down, I'm not keen on him having his nipples peirced though.

I was hoping that was his costume... Oh well, I'm just glad to see him.
It is gross though...

Wolvie's in denial, Wolvie's in denial . . .

Awesome issue. I love Wildchild, and am so glad he's back.

Question, though, because I'm still considerably new to Wildchild (compared to you two, that is) has it ever been said that Kyle isn't related to Creed?

No I don't think so, and if he was related would make sense as in X-Factor he really wanted Wild Child to join up with him. From what I remember, I don't recall them every saying he isn't somehow related. We might get some information in Wolverine #54.

Judging by his appearance, powers, permiscuous taste (nipple rings?), and the trademark claws, on top of Wolverine saying the scent was like Sabertooth's and his own, AND then there's the potentially kinky name... it seemed apparent to me that Kyle is just the bastard love child of Wolverine and Sabertooth.

Am I the only one who sees this?

I used to think he was Creed's son, but in the end, no matter what evidence there is for or against, his parentage is up to the writer's whim. And when writers change, the previous writer's ideas are usually scrapped, leaving all of us confused. Marvel Comics Presents and X-Factor implied he was Creed's son, while Alpha Flight stated that he definately wasn't.

In short, even if they come out and say who his parents are, it can be retconned later as a bad dream or something, just to confuse everyone and please a writer who doesn't like the idea...

WTF!? How did Feral and Thornn get their powers back? I don't care, but I am so Loving it!!!

Yeh, Loeb has almost single-handedly put me off Marvel comics, the only comic (Non-Manga) I've bought recently was from Dark Horse. The 'nazi' idea has to be one of the most idiotic thing I've ever heard...

I disagree.

This is one of the best things they have done for wild child in a while.

Even though I hate the fact they made him a nazi I have to agree, WC as a character was horribly portrayed in Weapon X and X-Factor. Only series that gave him justice was Alpha Flight and that was years and years ago. Now people are talking about WC and in a good way, and are wondering what the future has in store for him.
