Rockslide (character)
Rockslide (Santo Vaccarro) is a fictional mutant superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character has been depicted as a member of the X-Men, a student in the Xavier Institute, and a member of the former Hellions squad therein. After M-Day, he was one of only 28 students to retain his powers. He is best friends with Julian Keller (Hellion) and is extremely close to and protective of Cessily Kincaid (Mercury). Despite his earlier appearances as a stereotypical school bully, he has evolved into a good-natured (though extremely boastful) and fiercely protective friend to most of the school's students.
Rockslide first appeared in New Mutants vol. 2 #3, and was created by Nunzio DeFilippis, Christina Weir, and Carlo Barberi.
Rockslide was killed during the 2020 event X of Swords and returned in 2024, near the end of the Krakoan Age. In a 2024 interview with AIPT, X-Men editor Jordan D. White stated that he originally intended for Glob Herman to be killed. However, writer Ed Brisson objected to Herman's death, so White chose for Rockslide to die instead.
An Italian-American mutant from Boston, Santo Vaccarro attends the Xavier Institute, where he befriends roommate Julian Keller. He is originally advised by Iceman before being selected by Emma Frost to be part of her Hellions squad.
During Rockslide's summer vacation, he and the Hellions encounter the Kingmaker, who temporarily grants each of them a wish. When the Hellions refuse to permanently accept Kingmaker's deal, Kingmaker shatters Rockslide's body with a laser blast before Julian reassembles him using his telekinesis.
Rockslide is one of 198 mutants who retain their powers following M-Day, when the Scarlet Witch depowers most of Earth's mutants. The depowered students and staff are intended to be sent home, but William Stryker bombs their bus, killing Rockslide's friend Brian (Tag), among others. In the aftermath, Emma Frost has Rockslide and the other students compete to join the X-Men.
During the "World War Hulk" event, Rockslide is one of the students who battle the Hulk when he attacks the institute. His limbs are ripped off and thrown far away, but are eventually recovered and returned to him.
During the Krakoan Age, Rockslide becomes a citizen of Krakoa, a living island that was established as a mutant nation.
