History

A citizen of Ireland[1], 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.[2] After being captured, Ramrod was deported after the government determined he was in the country illegally.[3]

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.[4]

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

When the Upstarts resurfaced, Ramrod and the other Nasty Boys were killed to only be used as bait to lure out the X-Men.[5]
