Debut Era

A six-armed interdimensional sorceress and servant of Mojo. Once a human stuntwoman named Ricochet Rita, she was captured and cybernetically augmented by Mojo, then sent back in time to become one of the X-Men's most bizarre and dangerous foes. Her mastery of magic and technology makes her unpredictable, and her tragic origin makes her sympathetic despite her cruelty.
