Wraith (Hector Radoza) is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Universe. He was created by Scott Lobdell and Salvador Larroca in Uncanny X-Men #392 (2001).
[edit] History
Wraith joined a temporary X-Men team formed by Jean Grey when most of the other X-Men were captured by Magneto. Wraith's mutant power is his transparent skin. However, he is able to displace the effects of his powers by making others look transparent to him and appearing normal to others, which proves to be severely disorientating. Jean theorised that had his powers been allowed to evolve, he would have been able to render himself and others completely invisible. He was shown to be depowered in New Avengers #18.
[edit] Powers
Wraith can turn either his skin transuculant or others' skin transuclent.
