7 Things You Didn’t Know About Jermaine Rivers 14 hours ago Jermaine Rivers is an actor best known for his role as “Shatter” in the Marvel comic book TV Series “The Gifted.” This series was set in the X-Men Universe and featured some lesser-known characters from the comics like Blink and Thunderbird, both of whom made brief appearances in the blockbuster film X-Men Days of Future Past. Jermaine’s character (Shatter) origins stemmed from the comic titled “The Morlocks” (2002), a four-book mini-series created by Geoff Johns and Shawn Martinbrough. Although Shatter was one of those lesser-known characters, his mutated appearance (black crystalline skin, shattered depression on his right temple, and damaged right eye) was not only comic accurate, but it made him stand out, and he became an instant fan favorite.
