But seeing how we saw him go beta in the season 2 finale I am willing to accept it is because since he was a mutation he can't go be a full werewolf. I just hope they don't give him the venom or some other kanima traight because the partial wolfsbane immunity is kind of ex machina enough I disagree. We're so accustomed to things being magically one thing or another, but Jackson underwent a full-body transformation. He grew a tail for Ra's sake - you don't just magically go from a state as complete as that to another state with nothing of the previous state remaining.

If Jackson's Kanima state was a virus or some other real world thing, traces would remain even after he was "cured." There would be new mutated antibodies at the very least.

Again, it wouldn't make sense if he didn't have after effects from the Kanima experience. He has to have some residual.
