Quite recently, Avalanche was recruited into the team of costumed mutant criminals known as the Mutant Liberation Front by their leader, Mystique. The MLF has clashed several times with the X-Men, most notably when they attempted to assassinate Henry Peter Gyrich, director of SHIELD, at the unveiling of SHIELD's newest anti-superhuman enforcers, the robot Sentinels.

Known Superhuman Powers: Avalanche is a mutant who possesses the ability to generate powerful waves of vibrations from his hands, which he uses to create localized movement of earth and stone, including brick and asphalt, often in a manner akin to an earthquake. These waves have little to no effect on other materials.

Role-Playing Notes:
For the most part, Avalanche is a mercenary, working for the highest bidder. He is not as fanatical about the mutant rights issues as the rest of the MLF, but he is concerned over the potential abuses of the Sentinels and others. He will work with others, if the pay is right.
