History:
(House of X#1 - BTS) - When Charles Xavier and Magneto established the sovereign mutant island nation of Krakoa, Xavier delivered a telepathic message to the world, welcoming every mutant to live on Krakoa. Wrench was one of the many mutants who accepted.
(House of X#1) - Wrench, Sonos Rex, Fauna and seven other mutants met with senior X-Men Banshee and Jean Grey at the former Xavier's Institute for Higher Learning, now renamed the Graymalkin Habitat. Outfitted in standard X-Men costumes the mutants followed Banshee and Jean through a Krakoan gate granting them access to the new mutant island nation. The new arrivals were welcomed by Wolverine and Charles Xavier.
Comments: Created by Jonathan Hickman and Pepe Larraz.
Wrench's codename implies that she either has sudden violent outbursts or the ability to cause sadness or distress.
Sandra's last name implies that's she's of Chinese descent as Yo is a common last name found among overseas Chinese communities around the world. In fact, "Yo" is the transliteration of several different Chinese surnames. Its meaning varies depending on how it is spelled in Chinese, and which dialect it is pronounced in.
