Wraith first appeared in The Uncanny X-Men #392 and was created by Scott Lobdell and Salvador Larroca.
Hector Rendoza was living in Boston when his mutant powers manifested at the age of sixteen. A large crowd formed on Boston Common, many who knew Hector when he was not translucent, intending to kill him. Jean Grey froze the crowd with her telepathic powers and recruits Hector.[1] He is one of many she gathers (including Northstar, Omertà, Dazzler and Sunpyre) to help rescue the X-Men from Genosha, where they are being held by Magneto.[2]
Wraith can turn either his skin or others' skin translucent.
