Feral (Maria Callasantos) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She has been both a superhero and a supervillain and most recognizably associated as a member of X-Force. Feral is the sister of Thornn.

Feral first appeared in New Mutants (vol. 1) #99 (March, 1991), and was created by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza.

The cat-like mutant Feral attempted to escape from the tyrannical rule of the Morlock, Masque. She was saved from Masque by Cable, and agreed to join Cable's paramilitary group X-Force in return for protection.

Alongside X-Force, she first battled the Mutant Liberation Front, and she broke Wildside's jaw. She then severely injured Cannonball during combat training. She fought her sister Thornn, when Thornn and Masque invaded X-Force Base. She next battled Sauron. Alongside X-Force, she battled Weapon P.R.I.M.E. She was later compelled by the Druid to go to Starkesboro, Massachusetts.

During the X-Cutioner's Song saga, she was attacked by the X-Men and X-Factor alongside X-Force. She was captured by Wolverine, and was taken prisoner with X-Force by the X-Men and X-Factor. Feral later received a new costume, and left Xavier's mansion with the rest of X-Force. With X-Force, she then fought Nick Fury and War Machine.
