“Oh, way to go, Avalanche… Your first legit job, and you drop the king of all cosmos in a hole. Hey, uh, if anyone asks, my name is Rictor!”
Dominikos Petrakis is a Cretian mutant with the ability to generate vibratory waves from his hands, which he uses to create tremors and earthquakes. As Avalanche, Petrakis joined Mystique’s incarnation of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to commit terrorist acts in the name of mutant rights. These acts have put him at odds with the X-Men on several occasions.
