Mutant Ability : Rictor can generate tremendously powerful waves of vibrations in any object he comes to physical contact with. These vibrations can cause inorganic objects to crumble or shatter. When directed to larger objects, such as buildings or landforms, it can cause earthquakes. These vibrations begin in his body and emanate outward, and he is apparently immune to the damagin effects of them. It is unknown if Rictor's power has any effect on organic tissue.

History : Little is known about Rictor prior to his first contact with X-Factor. He has claimed to be a soldier in some Central American army, but is currently unknown wether this is true or not.

Apparently, Rictor was captured by the mutant hunting group known as the Right in Mexico. Unable to control his power, the Right brought Rictor to San Fransisco in order to wreak havoc on the city and defame mutants. The Right intended to bring the team X-Factor there. Hence, the Right claimed that they were the supposed mutant terroist group known as the X-Terminators, and connected Rictor to a machine to amplify his already uncontrollable power. Soon X-factor defeated the Right and saved Rictor. Rictor then joined X-Factor and went to New York with them.

Later, Rictor and the resst of the training team that later assumed the name of the X-Terminators were again captured by the Right and brought to Arlington, Virginia. After a short imprisonment, the group was rescued by X-Factor who beat the Right again.

After returning to the X-Factor headquarters, Rictor was trained to use his power by the members of X-Factor. Eventually, he gained some control of his powers. He and some of the X-terminators became members of the New Mutants.

I heard Rictor left X-Factor and that his whereabouts are unknown.
