History:

(X-Men '97: Strike Files I#7) - Learning that the government-sanctioned mutant team X-Factor was seeking a new recruit following Polaris' departure, Wild Child applied alongside Arclight, Granny Smite and Rictor. He was interviewed by Doc Samson, who assessed whether the candidates' psychological profiles made them suitable for fieldwork. Havok and Dr. Valerie Cooper, who observed from behind a one-way window considered him unqualified to join the team as Havok noted he didn't want to give Wolfsbane fleas. Ultimately, Wild Child was rejected, and Siryn (Theresa Cassidy) was chosen to replace Polaris.

Comments: Created by John Byrne;
    adapted by Steve Foxe and Carola Borelli.

When, in 2015's Secret Wars, the Multiverse was destroyed following the incursions of planets it appeared as if Reality-92131 was drafted onto Battleworld as the Westchester domain. However, this has since been debunked. As such the reality seen in the two volumes of X-Men '92 (2015 and 2016-2017) now have their own reality-designation of Earth-15730. The X-Men '92: House of XCII (2022) series was inspired by both the animated series and Hickman's House of X run but is its own separate reality. The limited series X-Men '97 (2024), however, is Reality-92131 and bridges the gap between the original X-Men: The Animated Series cartoon and the new X-Men '97: The Animated Series cartoon.
