Rictor
In Age of
Apocalypse,
Rictor was a
leader of the
Mudir, trying so
hard to gain a
higher position
in Apocalypse’s
ranks. He was
obsessed over
catching Gambit,
and followed the
man everywhere.
He even jumped
through a portal
to chase after
Gambit and the
X-ternals. He
was set on
capturing them,
and even gained
allies in that
of the Shi’ar to
aid him. In the
end, he messed
up, and though
obtained Guido
Carosella on his
side, won
nothing. He was
distraught and
tried to explain
himself, but
Apocalypse
simply killed
him.
During a small
What If...
series that
involved Cable
destroying the
X-men, Rictor
sided with Cable
and his New
Mutants friends.
When Cable died,
Ric went to
Magneto shortly
before his own
death. Another
What if
series
that involved
Stryfe
destroying the
X-men (wow, what
a pattern!),
showed him being
in Danger Room
jail, then
randomly
disappearing
throughout the
rest of the
issue. He
appeared a few
more times, but
it was probably
Jimmy since all
artists know
that they're
secretly twins.
In Wolverine:
Rahne of Terra,
Rictor was a
guard named
Richard, who
helped protect
the Princess
Rahne. Like his
616 counterpart,
he was a bit of
a jerk. He
pretty much did
what he wanted,
and laughed
about it
afterwards. He
also sported
something
resembling a
perm on crack.
He fought in
battle against
Wolverine, and
didn't do very
well. Like many
other of his
versions, he did
not die, only
randomly
disappeared
after being in a
series of
panels.
In X-force
#100, Rictor
was featured in
a few encounters
of his former
friends. First,
he was part of
X-force in a
alternate time
line where
Stryfe and the
MLF killed Cable
and Sam. He, and
X-force
(Shatterstar,
Feral, Boomer,
Siryn, Sunspot,
Copycat and
Deadpool) sought
their revenge,
and became most
wanted
criminals. Later
in the issue, he
appeared as some
sort of skrull
or alien.
In X-men: The
End, Rictor
was still a
member of
X-force, and had
been forced to
watch and bury
teammates that
were destroyed
by alien forces
called the
Technarx. After
an escape with
Domino and
Feral, they were
attacked by
an
impostor
pretending to be
Wolverine. Being
that it was an
alternate
universe, and
being that it is
Rictor,
he died by a
simple throw
into some
screen. A hand
outstretched and
literally killed
him in the face.
Oh, Ric.
