History

A citizen of Ireland, Patrick Mahony was recruited by Mister Sinister to serve as the leader of the Nasty Boys as Ramrod, a group of young mutants whose first and only missions were against the government sponsored X-Factor. However, he and his friend Ruckus were more interested in beer runs and a quick buck than in Mister Sinister's agendas.

When the Nasty Boys fought the government version of X-Factor, Ramrod used his powers to great effect against the heroes, but he was ultimately subdued by the multiple fists of Jamie Madrox. After being captured, Ramrod was deported after the government determined he was in the country illegally.

Mr. Sinister reassembled the Nasty Boys in Hawaii briefly for a fight with Havok and Polaris, but Ramrod and most of the gang haven't been seen since then.

It is unknown if Ramrod retained his mutant powers after the M-Day.

Later, he and Ruckus attempted to rob a bank in England, but they were caught and taken into custody. However, when a cloud of Terrigen Mist threatened the lives of the two mutants in the British prison, Storm sent the X-Men to rescue the pair. Wolverine and Nightcrawler easily found Ruckus inside his cell, but the trio had to fight their way through a prison riot to find Ramrod. Ruckus escaped with Ramrod and the X-Men to X-Haven, their base of operations. The X-Men placed Ramrod and Ruckus in prison cells to serve out the rest of their sentences.

When the Upstarts resurfaced, Ramrod and the other Nasty Boys were killed to only be used as bait to lure out the X-Men.
