Sirocco is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in New Mutants Annual #7.

He was part of the Iraqi mercenary team called Desert Sword when they fought Freedom Force, led by Crimson Commando. Desert Sword was to prevent Freedom Force from liberating a German scientist named Reinhold Kurtzmann in Kuwait. Desert Sword ambushed them and Aminedi decapitated Super Sabre and cut off Crimson Commando's right arm. Kurtzmann was captured by Freedom force but then recaptured by desert Sword. Pyro still managed to kill Kurtzmann though. Sirocco and Aminedi trapped Avalanche and Commando in a mine field and as Commando's condition worsened Avalanche trapped the two under a pile of rock, though they later escaped, and rode a wave of dirt to their designated extraction point and got him to safety, leaving both Blob and Pyro who were later captured by Desert Sword.

[edit] Powers

Sirocco can warp nearby weather patterns to create swirling air funnels that can strike with concussive impact or lift him into the air.
