Redneck is a fictional mutant character in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in New X-Men #126 by Grant Morrison and John Paul Leon.
The young mutant called Redneck (real name: Vincent) is a student of the Xavier Institute. He came from a large family in Arkansas, experienced first hand violence against mutants and became friends with fellow student Radian. Redneck was ready to fight Cassandra Nova as she made her second assault. Instead, Redneck became mentally controlled by Nova and was forced to fight the X-Men on her behalf. Redneck and the other students were freed soon after by the Stepford Cuckoos.
Some time after, Redneck joined Quentin Quire, also known as Kid Omega, and his group. This small team of mutants was dubbed the Omega Gang. As the Omega Gang later attacked a small group of humans to avenge the mutant fashion designer Jumbo Carnation, Redneck used his powers to burn one of the humans.
When Kid Omega and his gang started a riot at the Xavier Institute, Redneck was stopped by Cyclops, whose optic blasts broke his nose. As his punishment for his involvement in the riot, Redneck was sent to a prison run by humans. Redneck lost his mutant powers after the event called M-Day.
