History: (Secret Avengers I#22) - Superhuman anarchist Riot seized control of an angry crowd of protesters in London, merged them into a gestalt monster, and headed for Buckingham Palace to destroy the Queen of England. Captain Britain flew in to stop him, but Riot swatted him aside, knocking him into the palace. He flew right back out and snatched Riot from the gestalt entity, causing it to disperse.  Riot proclaimed that he would carry on "as long as I'm on this Earth" - so Captain britain flew him to the extradimensional Otherworld, where he was imprisoned in the jigsaw jails of the Starlight Citadel.

Comments: Created by Rick Remender and Gabriel Hardman.

Rick Remender does love his one-scene throwaway villains, doesn't he?

Remender was likely inspired by the riots that raged through England (especially London) in August of 2011.
