A mutant who generates powerful seismic vibrations. Rictor's journey from traumatized teenager to confident hero spans X-Factor, X-Force, and X-Factor Investigations, where Peter David's writing gave him new depth. His relationship with Shatterstar and his struggle after losing his powers on M-Day made him one of the most human characters in the franchise.
