Calvin Rankin loses his powers in X-Men #29 (I believe), then he seems to die in an issue of the Incredible Hulk. And then we don't see him again till the 90s, I think. And I hate that! Calvin Rankin deserved better! He was hot-headed and a bit arrogant, but he wasn't a monster. And his death was needless. If I had any writing talent, I'd fix this by creating a new comic set back in the 70s to fix this problem. But since I can't write it, here's my pitch for the story:
Calvin Rankin was lost fighting the Hulk in Canada, I believe (i think it was a crossover with the beast's weird horror comic at the time). So there's only one way to fix this: having Calvin Rankin wake up a few years later (like, 1975) in Canada. And then have some character also head up to Canada to find him. Maybe the Hulk would run into him again, or maybe the werewolf by night or something? Idk. What I do know is: he should have been brought back. He was a good character who didn't deserve to be killed off for years!
