Ultimate Detonator Profile

Powers: Ricky can psionically cause explosions.

History: Ricky Gibson was a teenage boy with a secret. Seven years ago, he tried to hide the fact that he was a mutant to his less-than-understanding neighbors in San Antonio. When he was discovered, they were ready to execute him until Erik Lensherr and Charles Xavier, also known as Magneto and Professor X, respectively, intervened. They stopped the killing, saved the boys life, and recruited him as one of their students.

Detonator, as he was later known as, was unsure of the entire mutant segregation that had occured in the Savage Land, but he knew his loyalties, since when Xavier defected from the Brotherhood, Detonator remained by Magneto's side. He even performed an operation for him in the Pentagon, the details of which are uncertain.

The fate of Ricky Gibson is tragic. He was one of the lives taken by the Sentinel attack. He was murdered while he was walking his dog in New York, seemingly no longer part of Magneto's organization.
