Rigger Ruiz

Rigger Ruiz is a street-level Marvel character who operates in a gritty, urban corner of the Marvel universe, crossing paths with figures like Thunderstrike and Captain America. Her associates include Mad-Dog Rassitano and Lt. Marcus Stone, suggesting ties to crime or law enforcement.

Stepping out of the early 1990s Marvel universe, Rigger Ruiz made her debut in Marvel Comics Presents #112 in 1992, brought to life by Chris Cooper and John Stanisci during comics' Copper Age. Over a surprisingly durable fourteen-year stretch, she turned up across titles like Thunderstrike and Captain America, keeping colorful company with the likes of Captain Universe, Mad-Dog Rassitano, and Lt. Marcus Stone — a roster that speaks to a gritty, street-level corner of the Marvel world. Rare enough to intrigue completists yet notable enough to earn a spot in the All-New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z, Rigger Ruiz is exactly the kind of deep-cut Marvel figure that rewards the curious collector willing to dig past the headliners.
