Bio

- M A Y B E . Y O U . C A N . R U N . A W A Y -

Runaways is a Marvel comic book series created by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona. The series features a group of teenagers who try to make up for the evil done by their supervillain parents by becoming superheroes. They are commonly referred to as "the Pride's kids" or "those kids in L.A." by other characters in the Marvel Universe, due to the team's lack of an official name and the majority of Marvel's characters being based in New York.

Victor Mancha is a cyborg, created from DNA from Marianella Mancha and the technology of Ultron. Ultron met Marianella Mancha in a scrapyard where he was left after being defeated by the Avengers. Marianella was physically unable to have children, and her past as a drug mule prevented her from legally adopting a child. Ultron promised to give her a child as a "reward" for saving him, though he had ulterior motives. Marianella, a devout Christian, saw Ultron as a John the Baptist figure and followed his words. He used her DNA to begin work on a fully-grown cyborg that was programmed with false memories of a normal childhood. He then dubbed the cyborg "Victor" and gave it a deep-rooted love for super-heroes. Ultron's long-term plan involved sending Victor to New York City when he was twenty-one so that he could meet his idols, the Avengers, and be recruited to the team after exhibiting his powers. Ultron counted on Victor's Hispanic heritage garnering him a spot on the team to fulfill the Avengers' need for ethnic diversity.

Victor is a student at East Angeles High School in Los Angeles when he first meets the Runaways. When they try to bring him to their hideout, his electromagnetic powers emerge and he unintentually begins to fight them off. The Runaways manage to capture him and his mother, in a panic, calls to his "father" for help. Ultron, still wishing to keep Victor's true origin a secret, sends a robotic replica of Dr. Doom to kidnap Marianella and pose as Victor's father. Victor and the Runaways rush to the rescue and the Doombot is destroyed; Ultron chooses that moment to reveal himself and kills Marianella right in front of Victor. Ultron then triggers Victor's sleeper-switch so that he will attack the Runaways; however, Gert is able to reason with Victor, reminding him how Ultron killed Victor's mother, and he rejects his programming, defying his "father." Afterwards, the Runaways take the now-orphaned Victor back to their hideout to keep him from ending up in the custody of Social Services.

Even as a cyborg, Victor eats, sleeps, bathes, does everything like a normal sixteen-year-old boy. Ultron's nanite technology was so advanced that, over time, Victor's artificial parts would become identical to his human parts, making it nigh impossible to determine he was a once a cyborg. As a result, he possesses several computer related abilities, including high levels of intelligence, a literal form of photographic memory, and the ability to interface with other machines directly. Along with those, he seems to possess some level of superhuman strength, speed, and jumping ability, as well as some manner of self-reparation through his nanites.

In combat, however, Victor primarily employs his electromagnetic abilities, which had briefly caused the Runaways to consider Electro, Magneto, and other villains with electromagnetic abilities as his father. Victor has been shown capable of directing electricity outwards as damaging, high voltage electric blasts from his hands, as well as using his magnetic abilities to reshape and bend metallic objects to his will. In the future glimpsed by Nico where Victor is a villain, he is seen flying into the ruins of what is presumably Avengers Mansion, although he has not exhibited powers of flight in the present day.

Before coming to the island, the Runaways' hideout had been found and invaded by Iron Man and his cronies. Somewhere in their attempted escape, Victor became separated from the group and wound up on the island.
