. She undertook the task of locating and training possible candidates and bringing them to Halo City, one of which was Wulff.
Wulff began his adolescent life allied with a group of miscreants named the Wild Boys who went about causing trouble and harm to others. During the course of his tenure with them, he had a change of heart towards the ideals of the group and left them, which they saw as a "betrayal". He soon found his way to Halo City.
Little else is known about the boy before he arrived at Halo City, but he soon became a part of the teen group X-Nation
. It was some time later that Avian decided to mount a mission to recapture Willow
in a bid to be the first to find the messiah for himself. He attacks the children and succeeds in capturing Willow again. Wanting to rescue their friend, X-Nation decide to infiltrate the Million Palms facility and save her. However, their fledgling efforts ended in their capture. They undergo brutal torture. They were able to escape, but upon their return home they found that Halo City was devastated.
Their home, an orphanage, had been blown up by the Atlantean army and their city was being flooded. The staff who had raised them, the Sisterhood of the Howling Commandos, had been murdered. The crew spends days on the street, tired, hungry and homeless.
To add insult to injury, Exodus
had awoken from another century-long slumber and tried to make X-Nation his Acolytes
. They refused and were subsequently beaten alongside the Wild Boys, who had sought out Wulff for revenge. After they were revived, Exodus continued to try and sway their opinion to his side, but some implicitly didn't trust Exodus. The rest of the group joins in that opinion when Exodus refuses to save the human population of Halo City. They reject his leadership. After Clarion sacrificed himself in the battle with Exodus, the rest of the kids were teleported
away by Mademoiselle Strange to face their uncertain futures.

about the "city in the mists". Spider-Man set out on a boat to investigate with Wulff and Uproar stowed away secretly. Their boat was blown up by the Wild Boys, who had started a floating boat colony off the coast. Wulff and Uproar were fished out of the water by them and, when they discovered that they had captured the "traitor" to their group, began to devise wicked plans for them. They put Wulff through a procedure called "the gauntlet" which mutated him further into a more lupine form. Then they forced Wulff to fight Uproar in a gladiator
arena
to the death. Fortunately, Uproar is able to revert his friend to a more sensible mindframe though he is distressed by his more animalistic form.
The pair is saved by a mysterious woman named Fiona. She leads them to the man in charge, the Vulture. Wulff tries to gain revenge but the Wild Boys intervene and Wulff is badly injured in the fray. The pair escapes but becomes stuck at sea. While there, Wulff begins to explore his new heightened form and realizes that he wants to more fully discover himself. He dives off of the boat, seemingly leaving Uproar to himself. Wulff tells his friend he hears of a boat nearby that should rescue him.

Marvel feral characters, he also has a hard time controlling his temper, and occasionally goes into animalistic fits called berserker rages.
