[edit] Rahne as "rain"

Can anybody tell me why the article gives the pronounciation of Rahne Sinclair's name as "rain"? I've only ever heard it prounounced "ronnie". I'll change this if no one can find some supportive evidence to back it up. -unsigned by Gnosis1185

I know that I have heard of at least one issue where the pronunciation is explicitly stated. Outside of that, the puns in the issue titles like "Rahne of Terra." There's a comment on the RAMX FAQ page stating that it's canonical, quoting "By the way, Rahne is pronounced like "Rain," as in the liquid from the sky. This is given in a number of canonical sources. In X-Factor #87, her dreams are Rahne's World, Rain Man and Rahne and Stimpy. The puns don't work otherwise." I'll keep poking around for a direct quote from the books. -Fuzzy 04:40, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Ah... found a cite! [1] -Fuzzy 04:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shadow King

Is the reference about being manipulated by the Shadow King accurate? She wasn't at Muir Island during the Shadow King's activities there. --JamesAM 01:49, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Dogs?

why is it in the wiki dog projects? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Letuce (talk • contribs) 18:32, 13 April 2007 (UTC).

I would imagine it's because Rahne can change into a full wolf at will. Lots42 01:45, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Powers

What's with the rampant speculation in the Powers section? Rahne has been working on fine-tuning her wolf form for years. It should come as no surprise she can employ wolf senses while human. Lots42 01:14, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

The phrase "except for the fact that her hair never grows more than a few centimeters long" (diff) was recently removed from the article. This was the case at her origin (she complains of it during the original New Mutants Nova Roma arc), but it was relaxed somewhat during New Mutants, then ignored altogether recently. I guess it's not really notable.

Rahne had a healing factor in New Mutants, although it may have been an excuse for her rapid recuperation after being hit in the head frequently. Flatscan (talk) 18:24, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

I remember an early New Mutants story in which Rahne (under some sort of influence) morphed into a beautiful adult woman with long hair - is this the only instance of her shapeshifting power being extended? Robina Fox (talk) 22:01, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Dunno. But in that instance, her biology was under, for lack of a better word, attack by the influence of Dagger's powers, which tend to bring forth vaguely-defined goodness. Lots42 (talk) 05:17, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Current Info Box Picture

I don't care for it. The background is too cluttered, the art in general just stinks and while I'm all for seeing more of Rahne (I gots the fanboy crush like you wouldn't believe) the picture just makes it look like she cannot dress herself. Lots42 19:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Wolfsbanex.jpg

Image:Wolfsbanex.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Rahne Pic

We have HONESTLY got to get another picture for Rahne. This is silly, having a caption to point her out for crying out loud. Lots42 (talk) 03:52, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
