Character Profile: Santo Vaccarro aka Rockslide Creators: Nunzio DeFilippis & Christina Weir First Appearance: New Mutants vol. 2, #3 September 2003 Powers/Abilities: Psionic entity capable of forming a golem form by assimilating surrounding rock and earth into a gestalt shell, adopting the properties of the matter used. Can explosively detonate the shell and reform at will. Super strength, durability, and endurance seem to appear in any form Note: Santo is typically depicted as superficially brash, oblivious, and inconsiderate. Originally, he was introduced as a stereotypical bully. However, he cares deeply for his friends, recalling the deaths of the depowered students, especially Tag, which usually motivates him to perform feats of incredible strength or bravery. He also has a strong sensitivity for his teammates, such as when Dust continued to beat herself up over the death of Icarus as well as recognizing that he is not supposed to see her without her abaya. He is very protective of his teammate Mercury. Santo also has a strong sense of honor, telling Anole and Pixie that he would quit the team if they were not included on the roster. A... I just love this big GOLUTE!! lol POST: Comments, Facts, Art about Rockslide
