Escaping from abusive parents and a troubled youth, the mutant sisters, Feral and Thornn, found refuge among the Morlocks, but quickly found themselves clawing at each other as their differences led them down diverging paths, though not so different in kind.  Feral joined X-Force and sharpened her claws under Cable’s combat training as the team’s most unpredictable and perhaps dangerous member.

Finally completing the roster from 1991’s X-Force #1, Feral joins the team with feline ferocity at 60 points.  Improved Movement:  Ignore Characters lets her choose her prey as she has a set of powers designed to get past all defenses and turn any opposing figure into her personal scratching post, as long as the dice are with you.  With Charge, Precision Strike, and Exploit Weakness on her first click and 3 damage, she can ignore damage reducing powers and any powers that evade or transfer damage like Super Senses or Mastermind.  Once she is in position, Feral claims her territory with Flurry and Blades/Claws/Fangs.  If someone lands a solid swing on her, her last two clicks prove she is no scaredycat with Charge, Blades/Claws/Fangs, and Battle Fury to ignore Shape Change and avoid being the target of Mind Control or Incapacitate.  Your opponents will need good luck to hit her though, with her beginning and late dial special defense power, Never Corner A Cat, Feral has the use of Combat Reflexes and Super Senses and has regular Super Senses mid-dial.  As the purrfect fixture for any X-Force keyword team, Feral has the X-Men team ability and the Morlock and Animal keywords as well.

Being her sister’s opposite in several ways, prime Thornn has the Morlock, Mutant Liberation Front, and Animal keywords and a more sneaking style of facing her opponents compared to Feral.  Her trait, Betray Everyone I’ve Ever Known lets her use Shape Change and her special movement power, Always Stalking My Prey, lets her use Sidestep and also lets her be placed adjacent to an opposing character as a free action if she is within 3 squares and line of fire of them.  This gives her a remarkably long tie-up reach with 10 movement, 2 more from Sidestep, and up to 3 more to place a character as a free action.  Don’t feel too uncomfortable throwing Thornn into the middle of the opposing team either, mid-dial she is at her most dangerous with Flurry, Super Senses, and a special power on damage, I’m Better Alone, that increases her Shape Change roll by 2 if she is not within 2 squares of a friendly character.  Thornn also has a full dial of Blades/Claws/Fangs and is bookended with three clicks of Combat Reflexes.

With the Callasantos sisters, the Morlocks are starting to look like a rather scary and efficient themed team option.
