Orator (Victor Ludwig) was a minor fictional character from Marvel Comics.

Fictional character biography

He was a mutant who was recruited into the Acolytes by Exodus. He first appeared when the Acolytes were searching for their missing leader Magneto, who was also presumed dead at the time. Instead, they found Joseph, his clone, and attempted but failed to turn him into their new leader. His first appearance was in the limited series Magneto #1. Orator hasn't been seen since the mini, and never on Genosha before or after the Sentinels' attack, so he might be still alive, though that is uncertain at this point. He also hasn't been seen after M-Day and the House of M, so he might have lost his powers, but that is unclear at the moment.
