Ironwolf

Ironwolf

The name "Ironwolf" refers to one of a number of heroes that have been host to the entity of the same name. Ironwolf's powers have traditionally included skin made of living Nebulon Steel, flight, a Nebulon Steel weapon consistent with the host body's weapon preferences, Nebulon Steel claws, and super strength. Various host bodies have displayed additional powers.

The Ironwolf entity is believed to be one of a number of immortal entities not unlike true Elementals. It is believed that Wrath is also one of these entities and is, therefore, connected in some way to the Ironwolf entity. Gerrand, the Geminian Mystic, is tasked with overseeing the transition from one host body to the next should a host body be killed, whether or not the Ironwolf powers were active when the host was slain. The Ironwolf entity itself does not seem to be able to be killed- even when Ironwolf is mortally wounded, it is the host body that perishes, the soul or spirit of the host persisting long enough to find a new host suitable to maintain the powers. Ferrumwolf is a similar entity that was artificially created by magic and genetic engineering by Yuen Whod using material and essence extracted from Kim Allen when she was a child. Ferra is the expression of that essence if it had been allowed to come to fruition in the so called "New World" timeline, created when the Elders' Spire was destroyed and the Elders were killed and the resulting time-wave that followed.

The Ironwolf entity cannot be hosted in a body that already has paranormal powers of any sort, however it has been hosted by aliens with various remarkable natural abilities. The Ironwolf host must also have a pure heart and a relatively blemish-free soul. Evil acts may cause the Ironwolf entity to reject a host or even be expelled from one. Ironwolf has been known to be affected by weaknesses and vulnerabilities possessed by the host body, such as the madness that gripped Ironwolf IV due to the vulnerability possessed by Jammin' Jim to Khedrium radiation.
