Rusty Collins

Rusty Collins is a fictional character, a superhero from Marvel Comics.

Raised in Oklahoma by his uncle, Rusty joined the US Navy at sixteen years of age. His mutant power, control of fire, manifested itself violently, burning a woman. Rusty was arrested, but set the arresting officer aflame and escaped.

X-Factor was alerted and captured Rusty, helping him to control his powers. At this time, he formed a relationship with Skids, a former Morlock. They both participated in X-Factor's trainee team, the X-Terminators, and after that team's dissolution joined the New Mutants. They were both later brainwashed into joining the Mutant Liberation Front and from there were recruited into Magneto's Acolytes. Along with several other Acolytes, Rusty died in battle with Holocaust (comics).
