Michael Wolfsbane was a human once, but after an incident that was ‘supposed’ to cause his demise, caused him to have a wolf-like body, yet he still was somewhat human, in terms of posture, and possible actions.

His wolf-like build gave him heightened strength, and agility, and increased senses of smell and hearing, which proved useful on many occasions.

He quickly realised that with his new form that he could become a superhero and right any wrongs that he may come across, especially if that involves fighting bad guys. The mask he has is for the reason that most heros have masks..to protect their identity.

One day he found a strange purple wolf claw shaped crystal pendant, which once he put it on, it gave him abilities relating to darkness, and magic, and also gave him the abilities to see, communicate with, and somewhat interact with, the dead. The crystal pendant turned his eyes a indigo color when he wore it for the first time, and from then on his eyes were permanently that color.
