Riptide (Janos Questad) is a fictional supervillain appearing in books published by Marvel Comics, usually those related to the X-Men franchise. Riptide is a mutant with the ability to spin his body at an incredibly fast rate. He also has the ability to generate calcium growth from his bones that protrude through his skin, often taking the form of shurikens and spikes. When he spins, Riptide can release these growths at will from his skin, the additional velocity that comes from his spinning making them lethal missiles that can even punch through steel. He is portrayed by Álex González in the film X-Men: First Class. - In the film, Riptide is a mutant with the ability to create powerful whirlwinds with his hands and also by spinning his body at great speed. He is seen as a follower of Sebastian Shaw and a member of the Hellfire Club. After Sebastian Shaw is killed by Magneto, Riptide (alongside Angel Salvadore, Mystique and Azazel) side with Magneto forming the Brotherhood of Mutants.
- A viral marketing for X-Men: Days of Future Past shows that Riptide, along with Angel and Azazel were killed by Project Wideawake operatives.
Here is a tribute to Riptide and Azazel.
