Who is Ricochet Rita?

Ricochet Rita is a human stuntwoman who becomes entangled with Longshot, the dimension-hopping rebel from the Mojoverse, after he arrives on Earth. Her connection to Longshot draws her into the bizarre, media-obsessed world ruled by the tyrannical Mojo.

Born from the imaginative collaboration of Ann Nocenti and Arthur Adams, Ricochet Rita made her mark in the pages of Longshot #2 in 1985 β€” one of the Bronze Age's most visually dazzling and wildly inventive limited series. She moves through a corner of the Marvel Universe populated by unforgettable figures like Mojo, Spiral, and Longshot himself, which tells you right away this is a character steeped in the weird, wonderful, dimension-hopping side of Marvel storytelling. Spanning nearly four decades of appearances across titles like Excalibur: Mojo Mayhem and Marvel Masterworks: The Uncanny X-Men, she's a testament to the lasting pull of that original Nocenti/Adams creation. For collectors who love the stranger, more imaginative reaches of the Marvel cosmos, Ricochet Rita is absolutely worth seeking out.
