Powers and Abilities
The exact nature of Rhodney’s mutant powers are uncertain. But his green skin clearly marks him as a mutant.
It’s likely they were either something of little use in combat, or that they somehow power his Kinetic Retro-Blaster. This is a flying harness which also fires a blast of force.
History
When the mutants left Earth to avoid persecution, just prior the Martian invasion in the 20th Century, the exodus eventually led them to a habitable planet they named Haven.
Over time the number of mutants dwindled as more and more of the births resulted in baseline humans. The mutants became an elite ruling over the humans with an iron hand, with Rancor the undisputed leader of the mutants.
A resistance developed among the humans. When the mutants eventually tracked them down, they discovered that one of their own, Bear, was collaborating with them. They killed Bear and the other resistance members they found at the meeting.
Dang foreigners
They were soon contacted by the Guardians of the Galaxy. They had just located Haven, while searching for the long-lost mutants.
Rancor and her lieutenants were suspicious of the newcomers but met with a few of them. When they discovered that other Guardians were meeting with the underground resistance, Rancor attacked them, ordering the mutants to put down the revolting humans.
In the attempt to quash the rebellion, Rhodney was shot and killed by the Guardian of the Galaxy, Charlie-27.
Personality
A sadistic bully much like the rest of Rancor’s Lieutenants.
He was in a relationship with Bat-Wing, and the pair would often go looking for humans to pick on.
DC Universe History
The planet which became known as Haven was originally a prison planet for super-villains from Earth, where these unwanted were abandoned to their own devices.
A number of the more powerful escaped, but the others were left. When events on Earth caused the influx of new immigrants, they were completely isolated. A society developed with the super-powered becoming the ruling class. This continued down the centuries, even as the numbers of the powered diminished.
When they were eventually contacted by the UP, the rulers violently rebuffed offers to return to Earth, despite the normals among them wanting to leave. When the rebellion got out a request for help, the UP sent a squad of Legionnaires, who deposed Rancor and her lieutenants, the surviving members of whom escaped.
