Mx. Wolverine has only been been performing since 2018, but their rise to prominence in Toronto's drag and burlesque communities has been nothing less than meteoric. Amalgamating traditional drag with a self-described mix of "draglesque, shapeshifting genderfuckery, Indigenous political resistance and and sensual rockstar," there's no one else quite like them.

"There really aren't that many Indigenous drag kings out there, so that in itself makes it unique," says the two-spirit performer, who also goes by Midnight Wolverine. "My drag is so traditional yet fluid at the same time, moving from subtle and not-so-subtle political statements, to straight up boylesque striptease, to character and narrative-based storytelling, to just good ol' fashioned fun and smooth lipsyncing."
