#rictor

1986: fifa world cup is played in mexico and the country attracts too much attention because of it

1987: rictor, the first Mexican mutant, makes his debut and his powers are creating earthquakes

me:

Like he's so funny, he loves dancing and going out. He struggles with masculinity and yet he loves playing with fashion and different styles, and not exactly in a "masculine" way including his hair and accessories. Sometimes to the point it's too much or tacky but it's fun!!

I don't like when all people talk in reference to him is being a repressed man with internalized homophobia when he's MUCH MORE THAN THAT. His internal conflicts go beyond that, his character goes beyond being gay and in love with his best friend. I understand that's a huge part of his character, but that's not all. He's a little punk gremlin who loves pranks and makes dirty jokes, but he's also a huge nerd. He's not the "sane one" nor the "normal one". His background and fact he comes from Mexico makes him for me already very interesting and my favorite character ever.

He cares too much about nature and loves riots and speaking truth to power. Like he's loud and vocal about what's right and wrong and we see that from his very first appearances when he calls out x-factor (they needed a poc to tell them why their plan was stupid)
