FEAR ITSELF: THE FEARLESS #5 (February, 2012) – The Dire Wraith who is a member of D.O.A. is shown clearly for the first time. During an attack on The Raft, the Wraith uses its tongue to tear information from the mind of a guard. The tongue later is seen to be unable to penetrate Luke Cage’s unbreakable skin. The Wraith later opens a mystic portal to D.O.A.’s headquarters in South Carolina.
FEAR ITSELF: THE FEARLESS #6 (March, 2012) – Sin and the D.O.A. (including the Dire Wraith) attack Project: Pegasus where they battle the Avengers. Hawkeye ends up fighting the Wraith and refers to it as “a giant mutant lobster.”

The Wraith is shown attacking Spider-Woman with an energy blast from her forehead and later uses Norse (or Runic?) magic to teleport herself, Sin, Crossbones, Hellstrom and a Hammer away.
FEAR ITSELF: THE FEARLESS #8 (April, 2012) – It is revealed that the Dire Wraith helped the D.O.A. rescue Sin from an armored prison transport helicopter by replacing one of the pilots.
