Ransak the Reject is a fictional character from the Marvel Comics universe. He was created by Jack Kirby, and first appeared in Eternals #8 (Feb 1977).
Ransak is a member of the race known as the Deviants. He is the son of Maelstrom (whose father, Phaeder, was an Inhuman) and Medula. He is shunned and feared by other Deviants because he is not subject to the deformity of their race, his humanlike appearance seeming freakish to them. An outcast, he funneled his rage at his rejection into becoming an expert killer fighting in the gladiatorial arenas that became his home.
In the gladiator arena, he drew the attention of the Eternal Thena, and both he and the Deviant Karkas were given sanctuary in the Eternal city of Olympia. Though the prospect of women who did not think him a hideous freak was comforting to Ransak, his tremendous anger still alienated him from the Eternals. The Eternal samurai Kingo Sunen has attempted to teach him discipline, to little avail.
After the majority of the Eternals left for deep space, Ransak once again turned his attention towards fighting, both in and out of the arena, the Deviants that had shunned him.
Ransak has superhuman strength and durability sufficient to battle an Eternal in personal combat. He has a lifetime's experience in gladiatorial combat, and is thus a formidable fighter. He is prone to berserker-like rages during which he can ignore painful injuries and attacks.

Famous quotes containing the word reject:
“Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
