Real Name: Vincent Stewart Aliases: Redneck Identity: Secret Occupation: Adventurer Citizenship: United States Citizen With A Known Criminal Record Place of Birth: Arkansas Known Relatives: Unknown Group Affiliation: New Warriors First Appearance: New X-Men #126 History: Vincent is a young man, who would go on to become the mutant better known as Redneck at the Xavier Institute. Much like the Guthrie family, Vincent comes from a large family. Born in Arkansas, he experienced the racial tension against mutants, that eventually led to violence. He would eventually become friends with Christian, who would go on to be known as Radian at the Xavier Institute. When Cassandra Nova appeared, Redneck had wanted to stand his ground against her, but he was not prepared to have his mind taken over and forced to fight the X-Men. It wasn’t until the arrival and the help of the Stepford Cuckoos, that Redneck and the other students were freed from Cassandra Nova’s hold. Unsatisfied with how things were turning out, Vincent joined Quentin Quire’s Omega Gang. As a member of the Omega Gang, Redneck was a part of the assault against humans, seeking vengeance for the murder of fashion designer Jumbo Carnation. Redneck had used his mutant powers to burn normal humans in the attack; perhaps burning some fatally. Kid Omega would lead the Omega Gang in a riot at the Xavier Institute. However, Cyclops put a stop to Redneck by carefully using his optic blast to break Redneck’s nose, and thus take him out of the fight. Punishment was handed to those involved in the riot, and Redneck and the others were sent to a prison run by humans. Like Tattoo and Radian, once their time had been served, they would be sent overseas to do charity work. Like many mutants of the word, Redneck lost his mutant abilities after the events of M-Day. He would eventually be recruited by a man calling himself Night Thrasher and join a team that had adopted the name "The New Warriors." Height: 5’8” Weight: 175 lbs. Eyes: Brown Hair: Blond Powers: Redneck was formerly able to generate intense heat from his hands, that could cause burning; and to some degree cause things to burst into flame as well. Accessories: Skybolt uses armor that emulates that of the Beetle, and allows him to fly, as well as shoot beams of unknown origin from his metallic gloves. |
