Real Name: Miranda Leevald Aliases: X-Stacy, Stacy-X Identity: Secret Occupation: Former Prostitute Citizenship: American Citizen With No Known Criminal Record Place of Birth: Unknown Known Relatives: Unknown Group Affiliation: Formerly X-Ranch, X-Men, Currently New Warriors First Appearance: Uncanny X-Men #399 History: At the young age of sixteen, Miranda's mutant ability developed. Not only was she able to exude pheromones and "see" people's emotions based on their own pheromone release - something else happened. Miranda's skin took on the appearance of that of a snakes - breaking out into tiny scales. With this physical mutation, Miranda was exiled and hated - and quickly ended up homeless and on the streets. It was here that she learned to survive by using her mutant power to release pheromones, and turned to prostitution. She was soon found by Madame Drache who ran the Nevada based X-Ranch. Miranda, who had adopted the name X-Stacy, though frequently called Stacy-X instead, was there when the anti-mutant group, Friends of Humanity had showed up to burn the place to the ground. The X-Men had arrived and rescued her; and she joined the X-Men shortly there after. (It's speculated that perhaps she may have even used her powers - fearing that she would be homeless again, to "work" her way into the X-Men)! She attempted to seduce both Archangel and Nightcrawler, failing both times. After a large disagreement with Husk (noting Husk's emotions by her pheromone release) over Archangel - Miranda decided to leave the X-Men and return to the streets. However, after the events of M-Day, in which the Scarlet Witch altered reality by muttering the words, "No more mutants!" - Miranda had been one of the many mutants across the world who suddenly found that they had no powers. The blessing to this, however, was that Miranda also lost her snake-like skin appearance. But after years of knowing nothing but prostitution - and suddenly discovering that all of her high paying clients were no longer satisfied by her - Miranda found herself homeless once again, until one day approached by someone claiming to be Night Thrasher, and offering her a chance to be someone again - and to do the right thing. Miranda joined and adopted the name Ripcord, and became a member of the New Warriors. Height: 5'11" Weight: 160 lbs. Eyes: Green Hair: Black Powers: As Stacy-X, Miranda was able to exude pheromones that caused great pleasure, or even great sickness in the people she was affecting. Miranda also developed the ability to "see" or "read" a person's emotions, based on the amount of pheromones their body was emitting. A down side to this was that Miranda's body had developed snake-like skin scales. Her skin was returned to normal, and her powers were lost, after the events of M-Day. Accessories: Ripcord wears armor that allows her to emulate those powers used by Constrictor, with coils that she is able to control. |
