Sable

by J.C. Jenkins Jr

Before there was Sable the Metamorph with the illegal Lycanthropic Gene, there was the young lady Melissa Crawford. Melissa Crawford was a kind-hearted young lady focusing on her studies at Rudy Giuliani High School. Melissa Crawford dreamed of a life beyond the simple abode on the 866th floor of the Jefferson’s Estate in New York City, gazing at New Kanto, the massive city on Luna at night. Melissa struggles to fit in the world as a lover and advocate of wolves and Endangered Species throughout Terra Prime and the Terran Federation. Melissa would face hardship from people and even her parents, who did not share her unique views. She would use her Cyberization enhancements to get her revenge against those who violated her sacred ideologies and become a force to fear hiding in the shadows. This quest for revenge leads her down the path of becoming the most feared person known to both the Terran Federation and the Federation’s new Allies—the feared Wolf Metamoprh, Sable.
