Wild Child (character)
Kyle Gibney is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer and artist John Byrne, the character first appeared in Alpha Flight #1 (August 1983). Gibney is a mutant—a subspecies of humans born with superhuman abilities—and is known under the codename Wild Child (also spelled Wildchild). He has also used the aliases Weapon Omega and Wildheart. Gibney has been portrayed as both a superhero and a supervillain and has been affiliated with several teams, including Alpha Flight, X-Factor, and Weapon X.
Kyle Gibney made a cameo appearance in Alpha Flight #1 (August 1983), created by John Byrne, but did not appear in full until Alpha Flight #11. He subsequently appeared in several Marvel series, including Darkhawk (1991), Death Metal (1994), Weapon X: The Draft - Agent Zero (2002), and Hellions (2020).
Kyle Gibney is a mutant who manifested a feral mutation during puberty; this mutation grants him enhanced physical abilities, an increased rate of regeneration, and a bestial appearance. This prompts his parents to throw him out of their house. Living on the streets, he is kidnapped by the conspiratorial Secret Empire and subjected to experimentation that alters his mind and body, making him mentally unstable and prone to violent and animalistic behavior. During this time, he becomes acquainted with Valerie Cooper, a United States government official who is unaware of the Secret Empire's true nature or activities. He is freed by Wyre, a man who has unwittingly been the source for the genetic material used in the Empire's experiments. Gibney (now Wild Child) is detained by the military and taken into the custody of Canada's secret Department H, which oversees the formative Alpha Flight team. Flight member Walter Langkowski, wanting to protect Wild Child from the military, places him in the trainee team dubbed Gamma Flight. After Alpha Flight and its trainee groups are disbanded, Gibney is recruited to join Omega Flight.
Wild Child is given membership in the new Gamma Flight. When Gamma Flight is disbanded, he goes berserk over his deprecated status and attacks Pathway, another trainee. Gamma's leader Nemesis teleport him away during a fight with Heather Hudson (Guardian) and Wolverine, and he is captured by Wolverine. Department H helps him overcome his psychological problems, trains him in unarmed combat, and places him as a special operative of the Canadian government assigned to Alpha Flight under the codename Weapon Omega. Wild Child later defeats Wyre in personal combat; he then learns about his true origin, and changes his codename to Wildheart.
Wild Child's appearance deteriorates back to his initial feral form, which prompts him to leave Alpha Flight and his lover Aurora. He follows Valerie Cooper to the United States, where he joins X-Factor. There he begins a romantic relationship with his teammate Shard. His teammate Sabretooth unsuccessfully attempts to convince Wild Child to become a hunter and killer like himself. Wild Child degenerates to a near-mindless state and is recruited into the new Weapon X team.
As part of his draft into Weapon X, Wild Child is paired with Sabretooth to try and recruit Sunfire to the program. However, he refuses and badly burns Sabretooth. When Wild Child mocks his burns, Sabretooth slits his vocal cords, leaving him mute. His past flame, Aurora, is later recruited into the team but is not herself. She becomes cocky and aloof, snubbing Wild Child and engaging in a relationship with Weapon X director Brent Jackson.
Wild Child is one of the mutants depowered after M-Day. His energy signature is found within the Collective, along with the energy signatures of many other depowered mutants. It is later revealed that Wild Child regained his powers and his previously erased memories, along with his capability of speech.
In the new status quo for mutants post-House of X and Powers of X, Professor X and Magneto invite all mutants to live on Krakoa and welcome even former enemies into their fold. Wild Child joins a loose group of outcast mutants, operating under Mister Sinister: the Hellions, which also include Havok, Kwannon, Empath, John Greycrow, and Nanny and Orphan-Maker.
