Lance Alvers was his name in Evolution. H
His real name in 616 comics was Dominic Szilard Janos Petros.
His codename was still Avalanche.
Rictor is a character in X-Factor (way back 1989) who many people believe is the comic counterpart of Lance and not Dominic himself. LOL..It's a little confusing but, it's like, from his codename and powers, he was Avalanche (as in the Dominic one), but from his looks, he was Rictor. 🙂
