Whats Avalanches real name?
As far as we know, it’s Dominikos Ioannis Petrakis, later anglicized to “Dominic Petros”. Claremont mistakenly had Blob address him as “Janos” in Uncanny X-Men 255, and called him “Domenic Szilard” in the narration of Uncanny X-Men 223, but “Dominic Petros” is the name given in his first two Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe entries and in X-Factor 109. However, his most recent Official Handbook entry establishes that it was originally “Dominikos Petrakis”. Pyro, his best friend, called him “Dominic” and “Dom”. For what it’s worth, ‘Szilard’ and ‘Janos’ are not Greek or Cretan names, which conflicts with his Cretan origins mentioned in the Official Handbook; on the other hand, ‘Petros’ is not a Cretan surname either.
