Her character is described as "a proud, pugnacious mutant who combines super speed with the ability to locate and assess the powers of other mutants."
Ramirez said she originally auditioned to be Stacy X. "They really liked my audition, but Marvel wanted to true to the characters in the comic book and I just wasn't right for that," she said.

 Napoleon Dynamite (2004) - articles / reviews archive, page 7
The title character (yes, "Napoleon Dynamite" is the name of a person, though why that is his name is anybody's guess), played by Jon Heder, is a weird resident of the weird town of Preston, Idaho.
Ramirez is very affecting as the sidekick-in-misery Pedro who has the added weight of being a newcomer to the mellowed madness at Preston High.
The title character in Napoleon Dynamite is a lanky teenage mouth-breather who wears giant 1980s eyeglasses, speaks in a bored monotone, carries fried potatoes in his pants pocket, and bemoans to his only friend that "girls want boyfriends that have great skills." He's almost as aggressively nerdy as the movie of which he's the subject.

 Edgar Ramirez - Rising Movie Star - Netscape Celebrity
One such person is Venezuelan actor Edgar Ramirez, who will soon be turning heads, starring alongside British beauty Keira Knightley in "Domino." Before even considering a career in acting, he turned down a role that would have brought him instant stardom.
Ramirez went on to graduate with a degree in mass communications and then began working as a journalist, reporting on politics.
Ramirez's character, Choco, is one of the three bounty hunters in the movie.

 ‘Spamalot’ spawns a siren
This time, Ramirez’s role as Lady of the Lake is pure goofball, a part substantially enhanced from the character in the 1975 film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," from which the show is "lovingly ripped off."
Although Ramirez’s acting and comic timing are being cheered, it’s her singing that shines in "Spamalot." Her voice doesn’t wash over you but smacks you in the solar plexus when uncoiled, demanding attention.
Besides contributing to the cast album, Ramirez says she hopes to release a CD of her own - but it won’t be typical.

 1. Character Creation
A courageous character might not run away from a fight even if it were in his best interest, while a cowardly one would have a hard time staying in a fight even if he stood to gain by staying.
If the GM feels the character is too potent for the campaign she has in mind, she may ask the player to reduce the character's power-- see Section 1.9, Minimizing Abuse.
When a character studies such a skill (puts a level into it at character creation, or experience points later in the game), the level he gets it at depends on how hard it is to learn.

 Napoleon Dynamite (2004) - articles / reviews archive, page 8
Napoleon is a strange kind of hero, who is not a particularly likable sort of kid but who sort of grows on your soft side with his weird humor and the way he outrageously walks around school with a faraway look, wearing moon boots and wildlife T-shirts.
The film's talented actors share this understated wavelength, especially Jon Heder as Napoleon and Efren Ramirez as a lonely Latino whose bid to become president of the student body seems fated to fail, since his opponent is the prettiest girl in town.
Ramirez' character typifies the movie's singular attitude towards race - he's a bit of a Speedy Gonzales caricature, but somehow stripped of meanness.

 'Last Stand': 'X-Men' Looking for the Right Fit
That's because Ramirez's character, and that of 29-year-old Aaron "Pyro" Stanford, while mutants, can hardly be considered true members of the team of genetically altered superheroes who attend the school run by Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart).
In "The Last Stand," her character considers medical treatment that holds out the hope of permanently returning her to a quote-unquote normal lifestyle.
Paquin and Ramirez, on the other hand, consider themselves "new" fans, having discovered only the comic books in preparation for their roles.

But again, he is a character prone to falling in love pretty quickly, so between a solo book and the Avengers, that could always change...

This character is Don Vincente Ramirez, and he does bear a fair degree of similarity to the movie Ramirez.
Possibly this was Ramirez resurrected (as he appeared to be in Highlander 2, if you accept that continuity instead of the series and/or later moves), with a slightly modified alias; possibly this was another Immortal who had taken the name to honour this Ramirez.
