Hmmm... the Avengers version of Beast is pretty high up there, but the X-Men lion version sucked a lot of the fun out of the character.

Beast/Doctor Henry P McCoy

Strictly speaking, the "Mc" prefix is more prevalent among the Scottish than the Irish. In any case, Hank's family probably emigrated to the US many generations ago, and has likely intermixed with several distinct European groups since. He's about as anything-American as I am.

Hmm..you sure? I know we are always referred to as "Mic's" (Mc's).

And Scottish are usually Mac's.

Happy St. Patty's day! Bushmills (or Jameson) and Guinness for everyone!

He's about as anything-American as I am.That's true. Quite a few American super-heroes probably have a fair amount of Irish ancestry, but Daredevil is the only one, that I can think of, whose heritage is a significant part of the character. For examble, I think Captain America's parents were Irish immigrants, but that is hardly ever mentioned.

he was the first Spider-man villain that i ever encountered. it was one of those 70s back issues. Dillon was staning outside of a truck getting dressed into his Electro gear. i remember him warning his lackeys not to touch him because it would be like running into a downed power line (or something along those lines). i thought he was so cool. the Hood thinks he's cool too.

understood. Matt's a great character who has been around long enough that a no0bie character shouldn't be much competition. but they are both about as irish as it gets. O'Grady is actually an irish name w/ some history behind it. plus he has the green eyes and red hair.

is there a Captain Ireland in canon? i hope they aren't all represented by Braddock.

I think there might be an ultimate Captain Ireland, but if so he's never been addressed on panel, or had any speaking lines, or done anything other than be a background character.

As for Captain Britain, I think he's supposed to cover the whole british isles, so yeah, that would include Ireland, though I doubt many Irish people would be too happy about that..........

I was thinking more because of the fact that he's got a Union Jack on his chest :P. Wouldn't go down well with the very large nationalistic element in Irish society at all.

Anyway, my vote goes to Banshee. I always like Banshee, even if he is a blatant steryo-type, he's our blatant steryo-type :D

yeah, Sean basically hits every cliche in the book.

red hair
thick accent
former cop
alcoholic
hot-tempered
lives in a leprechaun-infested castle
mutant power fits perfectly w/ an irish urban legend

Deadpool might be "irish-american." i once asked one of the Deadpool writers if Wade was black. i was confused because of his non-scarred look (he was hairless because of the cancer) and the coloring. anyways, the writer answered that (as a hint) Wade's ancestors were in the mob. i took it to mean that he was either italian- or irish- american. he doesn't strike me much as italian but i could be wrong.

The really Ironic thing is that there are no castles in Ireland dating back to the original building of Cassidy Keep :D

The Celtic Gods have potential, but Marvel doesn't really need another major pantheon, does it? Still, it'd be cool to see Cúchulainn in the 616 universe

Well, on the other hand Tony Stark is part Italian.

Tony's mother's maiden name is Carbonelli, which is Italian as all get out. He's probably half-WASP, half-Italian. Steve's parents have been called Irish immigrants, but an ancestor of his was shown fighting in the American Revolution, which is, uh, confusing. I like to think his father was native-born, and his mother was Irish. Peter Parker's mother was a Fitzgerald, and there were lots of famous Irish Fitzgeralds.

How could you think Deadpool is black ??

I have read his origin mini where he was a white blond dude soldier with cancer who came to Weapon X thingy for experiments.

He can be anything really since italian/irish mob is far from the only ones.

He isnt irish though cause of Wilson since its a name he stole which you would see from who in his original ongoing.

Yeah, there's definitely a guy in green, white and orange in the background when the Ultimates team up with CB and his crew; I always took him to be Captain Ireland. Who else would wear those colours?

As for my fave... Matt's a brilliant character, but Sean's actually Irish... I love 'em both. Banshee was a stereotype, no denying, but he was likable and friendly and sometimes that's worth a lot of money, especially in a team book.

I loved his role in the early Claremont/Lee period, when they were taking on the Shadow King and adventuring out in space. He was solid, dependable, knew how to do the hero thing. I really grew to love him during that (short, admittedly) period.

I didnt know of that, i just remembered his own origin mini.

Anyway my point was that i forgot to make in the last post, that his hair color cant show where he is from.

Is it really correct that he is Canadian ? I dont remember seeing that from his different series.

DP is my favorit superhero type character that i think its a shame that we dont know where he is from really. His story starts as a young soldier and not where him or his family is from city or nation wise.

well, he's like Wolverine was; origin-less. he could be from Canada. he could have just worked in Canada (or drifted there). Weapon X had candidates from all over. Slayback is irish. Maverick is german. we might never know where Deadpool's from. i posted the pic to provide counter evidence to the poster who claimed that Deadpool was a blonde haired white dude.


Proinsias Cassidy.

Proinsias sounds painful. is it a bone condition?

Where is the black heroes thread exactly ?



Speaking about irish characters, arent there other superhero/villain characters ? Seeing as how the irish characters,stories dominate tv,movies,books in US,i expected to see more irish heroes meaning of irish descent.

Maybe this is thread is only for Marvel ?

Can we count Bullseye as Irish, based off of what happened in the movie? Because in the comic, he's still a mystery...

Well, damn. Now I'm just torn.

Irish, or Irish-American, would be a better question.

i'm pretty sure that he's an american. if he were really from Ireland, writers wouldn't be able to resist making him talk with a lilt.
