Description
Real Name: Jonathan "Johnny" Gallo
When Johnny was younger, his mother always said he was special, even calling him her "Little Hero". One day his mother was killed by the superhuman criminals Nanny and the Orphan-Maker. After losing his mother, Johnny was left with his burgeoning genetic mutation and an emotionally distant father, who appeared to blame him for her demise. Some time later Johnny discovered he was a mutant endowed with hyperactive agility and the ability to sense danger before it struck. For most of his life, he attempted to keep this secret from his widowed father and his long time friend Kathy. Johnny eventually enrolled at Empire State University where he met his future teammates Eddie McDonough, Cassie St. Commons, and Ritchie Gilmore. It was there that the quartet was recruited by retired vigilante Daniel Lyons, a.k.a. the Black Marvel, into a group of teenage superhumans called the Slingers. Lyons provided Gallo with the costume and identity of Ricochet, which had been briefly adopted by Spider-Man during a time when the web-slinger operated as four different heroes to evade bounty hunters while falsely accused of a murder. Johnny readily accepted since, as Ricochet, he could freely use his powers to help people without revealing his mutant nature.
