History
Origins[]
When the Celestials came to Earth to implant the planet with a Celestial embryo, they manipulated early man in order to turn humanity into unwitting protectors of the embryo and created the Moon as a home for the Watcher, who would ensure the embryo's safety.[1]
However, the Celestials did not implant their mutagenic seed into every single human. They believed that the seed would eventually spread out to all of mankind in time. However, they did not count on some of the early humans coming to worship the Moon. When the Celestial ship blocked the sight of the Moon, these humans came to view the Celestials, and the humans who came into contact with them, as enemies.[1]
Hiding themselves away in the wilds, these unmanipulated humans soon became persecuted by their former kin. Those who had been touched by the Celestials became more aggressive and sickly, shortening their lifespans compared to the unmanipulated Moon Clan. In order to adapt, the Moon Clan and other unmanipulated humans became more aggressive themselves in order to fend off attackers.[1]
They would continue to dwell apart, in hard to reach wilderness areas. Occassionally, they would be discovered by their manipulated kindred, who often made them live the lives of shideshow freaks and performers. Sometimes, Moon Clan children would be taken into human families as foundlings.[1]
Modern Times[]
In the 19th century, a Moon Clan foundling was taken in by the wealthy Canadian John Howlett to be raised as his son. This boy came to believe that he was a mutant and grew up to become the superhero Wolverine.[1]
In the 21st century, after the mutation of mankind, Candian superhero team Alpha Flight were decimated by a Wendigo attack. The last survivors, Sasquatch and Guardian were found and taken in by the Moon Clan.[2]Paraphernalia
