Hector Rendoza was a nondescript teenager in Boston until his mutation made him impossible to ignore. Recruited by Jean Grey in a scene directly paralleling Xavier's recruitment of Nightcrawler in Giant-Sized X-Men, the code-named Wraith found himself whisked off to Genosha as a temporary X-Man. For a mutant in over his head and a power not fully developed, it was amazing that Hector found the courage to stand up to one of the world's most dangerous mutants, Magneto. Since this original act of heroism Wraith has not reappeared and was indirectly confirmed to be depowered. So while Wraith may have never achieved full invisibility with his powers, he did manage to disappear from the printed page. Read now the brief history of...Wraith II.

Bonus Update: Catch up with Wraith's Genosha Assault teammate and new family man Omerta.

When we first published this spotlight in 2009 this young man had spent more time dead than alive. Not long after he was one of the many mutants to be brought back by Selene, only he stuck around afterwards, unlike so many others. Whilst his powerset was often joked about in the 80's, the modern era has shown him to be an instrumental and adaptive mutant, so much so that he has positioned himself as one of the key mutants on Krakoa.
