Raza Longknife is a character from Marvel Comics, usually seen in the X-Men series and various spin-offs. He is the last known surviving member of his unnamed alien race (which chose to die en masse in one final battle against the Shi'ar empire as the culmination of their warrior culture), and a member of the Starjammers.

Fictional character biography

While imprisoned on Alisbar, he met and formed the Starjammers; with Corsair, Hepzibah and Ch'od, and associated himself with the group. He is a cyborg, being partly living flesh and partly machine. Raza speaks in an archaic form of old English, which can be both an annoyance and a source of amusement to his allies.

Raza has recently suffered the death of his loyal friend Corsair and less tragically, Hepzibah's stranding on Earth. Several X-Men have remained with the Starjammers.

Powers and abilities

Raza has superhuman strength, enhanced agility, speed, and reflexes thanks to his robotic parts. He is skilled hand-to-hand combatant.

Other versions

Age of Apocalypse

Raza appears as a member of the Starjammers, this time captained by Deathbird. He seems to have the same history as his mainstream counterpart.
