Fictional Character Biography
Spiral's real name is Rita Wayword, better known as 'Ricochet Rita', a professional stuntwoman who befriended Longshot
when he first appeared on Earth. Rita was attacked by her evil, future
self which led to her meeting Longshot and falling in love with him.
When Longshot sought to return to his home dimension, the Mojoverse, the lovestruck Rita went with him, only to watch Longshot fail and be captured by the dimension's evil overlord, Mojo. Longshot was promptly mindwiped to forget all about Rita, while a much worse fate was left for her.
Becoming Spiral - After holding her prisoner for several years (at which point Rita was made to serve as guardian for Mojo's army of "X-Babies"), Mojo
forced his chief scientist, Arize, to perform extreme physical and
mental body modifications onto Rita to recreate her into a loyal
subordinate. These experiments left her with six arms (two of which are
robotic), turned her hair grey, and drove the young woman insane through
forcibly evolving Rita's mind to the point that she could see into
other dimensions that were used for time-travel/teleportation. He also
trained her in the dark arts of magic and body modification, so that she
could use these skills to mutilate others like Mojo had mutilated her.
Finally, in a cruel act of manipulation, Mojo sent Spiral back in time
to set into motion the events that led to her former self becoming
Mojo's prisoner and become Spiral by attacking her past self.
Freedom Force - Now in the past, Spiral found herself stranded on Earth by Mojo for
failing to kill Longshot and Rita. At some unknown point, Spiral
encountered Val Cooper and was recruited into Freedom Force, a revamped version of the second Brotherhood of Mutants.
Despite being utterly insane and more blood-thirsty than her new
teammates, Spiral quickly became a valuable member of the team,
singlehandedly defeating the X-Men on several occasions as well as
kidnapping the X-Man Rachel Summers for Mojo. She was also instrumental in Freedom Force's victory over the Avengers and the West Coast Avengers when sent by the U.S. government to arrest the heroes. Her magical powers temporarily robbed Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) of her energy powers and she also defeated Iron Man, removing two of the most powerful Avengers from the battle.
Body Shoppe - She also ran the "Body Shoppe", which sells alien cybernetic parts to
amputees and others who see the power of cybernetic limbs. Most notably,
Spiral transformed Lady Deathstrike into a cyborg; upgraded the cyborgs Cole, Macon, and Reece originally created by Donald Pierce; and installed the cybernetic eyes in Psylocke's original body, which doubled as cameras for Mojo to spy on the X-Men.
Psylocke's Transformation - Along with Mojo, Spiral was shown to have played a role in Psylocke's
physical appearance changing from that of a blonde Anglo-Saxon to an
East Asian. Originally, it was believed that the two literally
transformed Psylocke's original Caucasian body to a Sinoid one, but it
was revealed that Spiral (without Mojo's involvement) transferred the
X-Man's mind into the body of the Japanese assassin Kwannon.
She also merged the two women's minds and genetic structures, giving
each of them personality traits and physical characteristics of the
other, as well as halving Psylocke's telepathy
between them. This led to much confusion as to which of the two was the
real Elizabeth Braddock when Revanche first appeared. Other than
malicious intent, Spiral's reasons for doing this (if any) are still
unknown.
Even though she was a loyal servant of Mojo, Spiral deeply resented
Mojo's crass manners and cruelty towards her. In particular, Spiral has
been known to go against Mojo's orders and attack Longshot out of a
psychotic need for revenge for Longshot's seduction of her and how her
love for him led to her transformation into the being she is today. As
such, Mojo has been known to leave Spiral stranded on Earth (since
Spiral needs Mojo's power to travel between dimensions safely).
Powers and Abilities
Spiral has powerful mystical abilities. When Spiral was first
introduced, she was a powerful sorceress and during her first two
encounters with the X-Men, singlehandedly defeated the team. She can
cast spells to stun, depower, or immobilize her superhuman opponents, as
she did to depower and imprison the Avengers and West Coast Avengers
once they were laying still long enough for the spells to catch them.
She was recently revealed as one of several magic-users with the
potential to be the next Sorcerer Supreme after Doctor Strange by the Eye of Agamotto. Spiral's spellcasting powers can be triggered through small hand
gestures of her many hands. With gestures, she can teleport herself and
numerous people across great distances. More powerful spells require
more complicated dance moves. Spiral can open gateways between
dimensions and travel through time, although it has been implied that
she sometimes requires Mojo's help to successfully teleport from one
dimension to another. At other times, she has independently traversed
dimensions and centuries of time, and set herself slightly out of phase
with the timestream so as to avoid blows. Spiral often incorporates
knives and swords into more complicated spells. Spiral can also disguise
herself through her magic.
Spiral's mind is apparently immune to possession. When Rogue
attempted to steal Spiral's mind and powers, Spiral stole Rogue's
instead, laughing that she had danced in many people's souls. Nocturne was fooled by Spiral into thinking Spiral had been possessed while Spiral remained in control.
It was also established that Spiral is aware, through unknown mystical means, whenever a person speaks her name.
As a result of being cybernetically enhanced on Mojo-world she has some limited level of superhuman physical attributes.
Spiral is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant, acrobat, and sword
fighter. Her six arms are fully coordinated, giving her great dexterity
and athletic ability.
Spiral demonstrated highly developed skills in cybernetics and
genetic manipulation which she has used to turn humans into powerful
cyborgs at her Body Shoppe. The most notable include Lady Deathstrike and the cybernetic Reavers, who have since been "upgraded" by Donald Pierce.
In Other Media (Television)
- Spiral appeared in the X-Men animated series, voiced by Cynthia Belliveau. She worked for Mojo and helped him capture the X-Men and force them to perform in television shows. Eventually, however, she betrayed Mojo after meeting and falling in love with Longshot. Their relationship turned out for the worse, though, and Spiral returned to Mojo's side in her second appearance.
- Spiral appeared in Wolverine and the X-Men, voiced by Grey DeLisle. She appears alongside the Reavers attacking ships bound for Genosha to pick out the mutants worthy for Mojo's program. After the Reavers were defeated, Nightcrawler fought her. When she threatened Sammy Paré, Nightcrawler rescued him and ripped off her four robotic arms causing her and the Reavers to retreat. However, Spiral abducted both Nightcrawler and Scarlet Witch into one of Mojo's shows and helped Mojo unleash a controlled Wolverine upon them. Wolverine was freed and all three captives survived, but Spiral and Mojo escaped and are implied to be planning to return.
