Ransak was a member of the
Deviant race, although, he had a normal humanoid appearance, which made him an outcast or reject from his race. Due to his appearance he was known as the Reject. He had no idea who his parents were for many years, although it was later revealed that he was the son of the cosmically powered
Inhuman,
Maelstrom and the Deviant Medula. Ransak was mutated into a savage creature by a nuclear bomb launched by Apocalypse and he was later cured by
Ikaris and the Eternals.
