Summary

In Episode 84 of CEREBRO, Connor and cartoonist Darryl Ayo sharpen their claws with Maria Callasantos, the feisty Feral! Created by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza as one of the founding members of X-Force, Maria is an antagonist within the team, the problem child who has friction with her teammates. Nicieza quickly wrote the character out by making her a villain, and she's been something of a footnote ever since.

The CEREBRO character file on Feral begins at 1:16:12.

(Content Advisory: Maria's story includes child sex abuse, other sexual violence, domestic violence, child death, animal death, and substance abuse.)

Thanks for your patience in the month of August as I prepared and performed the first CEREBRO live show! Audio from that should be up on the Patreon soon, and we are back on a regular schedule now.

0:43.2	This is an episode I asked Iyo about a long time ago, and honestly, I felt like I needed
0:49.3	to do the Wolfsbane episode first, and that required so much reading that I was like, I'll get to
0:55.0	Wolfsbane and then I'll, you know, then I'll call in the Ferrell Defense Squad.
