Stacy X real name Miranda Leevald is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is a mutant prostitute who was briefly affiliated with the X-Men and was later known as a member of the New Warriors. She later became known as Ripcord.
Her real name is Miranda Leevald, and she has the mutant ability to exude pheromones which she could control to stimulate bodily sensations and functions of others, such as causing orgasms or vomiting. Her mutation also had a physical manifestation: at the age of sixteen Stacy's skin was replaced by patterned, snake-like scales.
At one point her skin was shown shedding, much like a real snake's. She first appeared as a member of the Nevada mutant brothel , the X-Ranch. Forthright and argumentative, Stacy did not take easily to teamwork and left the team shortly after joining.
She plays a vital role in fighting Black Tom , using her powers to seduce him and releasing the other trapped X-Men, allowing them to defeat him. She also proved to be a highly skilled fighter, even giving Wolverine a proper workout. Where she got this training is unknown, much like everything else about her past.
Soon after the events at the X-Ranch, Stacy stayed at the Institute. She took some time off after "servicing" a special client in Chappaqua, New York. Wolverine tracked her down and fought with her, but soon the two came to an understanding. Whether Wolverine convinced Stacy to completely abandon her former profession is unknown, but he did talk Nightcrawler out of whatever censure he was contemplating.
