Petra

Petra is a young mutant with the power to manipulate earth and rock, recruited by Professor X as part of a secret team of X-Men. Her hidden history — and the tragic fate of that team — forms a cornerstone of the revelations in Ed Brubaker's Deadly Genesis arc.

Petra made her entrance in the Modern Age through one of Marvel's most gripping X-Men stories — Ed Brubaker and Trevor Hairsine's X-Men: Deadly Genesis #1 (2006), a series that shook the foundations of mutant history and introduced her alongside powerhouses like Cyclops, Wolverine, and Vulcan. Though her catalog footprint is intimate, she's the kind of character whose appearances carry real weight, surfacing across prestige Jonathan Hickman territory in Reign of X and beyond. For fans who love digging into the layered, consequential corners of the X-Men universe, Petra is exactly the sort of discovery that rewards a deeper look.
