Riot

Bursting onto the scene in 2008's Avengers: The Initiative #16, Riot is a Modern Age Marvel creation whose story unfolds against the backdrop of one of comics' most paranoid and thrilling eras. With a presence woven through Avengers: The Initiative and Skrull Kill Krew, this character keeps genuinely wild company — sharing pages with 3-D Man, Delroy Garrett Jr., and Kimberly Dee in stories crackling with tension and Marvel Universe intrigue. Riot may clock in at a lean 13 catalog appearances, but that concentrated footprint in some of the era's most charged corners of the Marvel landscape makes them a rewarding discovery for readers who love digging into the Initiative years.
