Wolfsbane (Rahne Sinclair) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character is commonly associated with the X-Men. A Scottish mutant, Wolfsbane can transform into a wolf or a transitional state somewhere between human and wolf, similar to a werewolf. She honed her powers to shift between human and wolf characteristics but must keep her feral instincts at bay when she does.
She was initially a member of the X-Men's original junior team, the New Mutants. Later on, she joined the Pentagon-sponsored X-Factor and was also associated with the British superhero team Excalibur. She appeared for a time as a teacher at Xavier's Academy in New X-Men, then served as a member of the X-Factor Investigations detective agency, until she joined the newest incarnation of X-Force. The character later returned to X-Factor and made several appearances as a member of the X-Men before rejoining the New Mutants.
Wolfsbane has made minor appearances in animated television, and made her live-action debut in the 2020 film The New Mutants, portrayed by Maisie Williams.
