[Hi-Fi]

Saint Anna was irish?

[Jack Flash]

Saint Anna was irish?

Her father was an Irish Priest right? aghh! I did it from memory, I may be full of fail.

[darknessatnoon]

[Daithi]

Siryn go bragh! :)

[Affinity]

Def Siryn, and then St. Anna because any X-Statix love is totally killer awesomeeeeeeeeeee.

And Mikl C holds a special place in my heart!

[Bic]

Black Tom's mutant shillelagh powers are so wonderfully stupid I'm tempted to vote for him. Intstead I'm going to have to go with Siryn for not only managing to move beyond the kitsch of her culturally focused powers but, unlike her poor pop, she currently isn't dead.

[ExodusCloak]

Bertie Ahern

[ChristosSoter]

Siryn, and Leave the Bottle!

[Mikl C]

Lol! You so crazy JF!
I endorse any irish mutant with an alcohol problem.

[Optic Rage!]

Bertie Ahern

GTFO!!

Total CUNT!

[david r]

'Ello guv'nor. What a fine froth of a day it is. Aye, me boyos. Me Sean Cassidy is the laddie I voted for.

Jack Flash, great thread. Nice work there, laddy.

[The Lucky One]

Siryn go bragh! :)

Go braless, you mean. ;)

I can't decide, it's a tie between Theresa and her da'.

-D

[Monty_Cristo]

i voted for Seamus Melloncamp because he has pretty eyes.

[ExodusCloak]

GTFO!!

Total CUNT!

His mutant power of being Former Minister of Finance, fearing bank accounts and not knowing how to file tax is freakin' hilarious.

Paddy's day good craic so far?

They need to get Banshee to use the word craic when he comes back from the dead...or at least sound Irish(Not Dublin Irish though) and not sound like he speaks with a pseudo English/Scottish accent. People from Mayo Achille don't speak like that. Heck people from West Meade or Cork don't sound like that. I've been re-reading my Gen X issue and just remembered that I used to cringe every time I read Banshee's dialogue.
They should totally give Syrin a D4 accent and fake tan and make her dye her hair blonde.

And before you ask, I pride myself in not using those words in real life. But everyone else I know does...examples being: "How's the form", "I'm going to meet up with the rest of the lads" etc...

[Daithi]

Ewwww. She needs to hook up with some rugby player too. Ack!

Actually yes she needs to start saying craic now. It will be ace!

[Toadman005]

Banshee. Sean Cassidy was a great character, and it pisses me off he's pushin' up 4 leaf clovers.

[Deathstroke]

Shamrock, easily.

She needs to be brought back into the Marvel mainstream.

[DeadXMan]

Non-Ent Black Tom

[Optic Rage!]

Ewwww. She needs to hook up with some rugby player too. Ack!

D4..UGH, i really doubt she is the type.

But yeah, They never say ''Mayo'' limbo. I dont think they have ever said ''whats the craic!!!'' either.

Oh, and i know cause im from Mayo.

And seing as craic is perhaps the most common word we use in Ireland, she should say it.

[Diablito]

Banshee....... and Mikl C?

[Jack Flash]

I am waiting for a Mutie named Blarney Stone to join the MLF. and Mikl C to join the acolytes.

[frog]

With the mutant power to talk people to death?

[creaky]

Banshee. Siryn's a very close second, though.

[ExodusCloak]

With the mutant power to talk people to death?

It's actually supposed to bestow charm on whoever kisses it. So most probably a mutant with the power to charm others with their words.

I thought it bestowed the gift of gab. Of course, Pixie already has that.

[ExodusCloak]

In a sense it still does but not in the annoying way. The real reason why people kiss it is if you are a complete nerd when it comes to talking to people and you kiss the stone you are bestowed with the ability to charm people with your words. It apparently grants eloquentness.

I think that Siryn has that ability now, doesn't she? The sound of her voice is supposed to be able to influence people to do what she wants.

Come to think of it, you're right. Wouldn't have noticed that comparison if you hadn't pointed it out. :p

[Starleafgirl]

Sean Cassidy is definitely my favorite Irish mutant, especially before his fall from grace in late GenX/Post-Generation X.

He was such a caring, wise mentor. He wasn't a perfect human being, not by a long shot, but he always tried to do his best by his charges. And at least he went out like a hero, though his (and all the people's in that plane) death is still such a travesty.

Happy St. Paddy's and the day after, hehe.

[worstblogever]

I love Siryn, but Banshee's Boston Celtics jacket during Generation X was epic.

Banshee WINS!

Hehehe. :D

[Monty_Cristo]

i suspect that Shortpack is part leprechaun.

[Madrox84]

I voted for Banshee, Siryn and Black Tom... I love me the Cassidy's.

Of the the three i think Banshee is probably my favourite, due to my love of the All New, All Different X-Men.

[Valeria Kementari]

Shamrock Shamrock!!! I vote for Shamrock week!!!

[HellFrost]

Banshee and Syrin for me. I effing love them. Specifically Banshee though.I can't wait for him to join another X-team.:p

[Starleafgirl]

Banshee and Syrin for me. I effing love them. Specifically Banshee though.I can't wait for him to join another X-team.:p

ROFL!

You're so cruel, so very very cruel, lol.

Banshee and Siryn are tied right now, 39 to 39. :cool:

[Monty_Cristo]

Banshee and Syrin for me. I effing love them. Specifically Banshee though.I can't wait for him to join another X-team.:p

he'd be perfect for the X-Humed.

[Frank]

It's Banshee as a girl with the same powers. Lord I hate Siryn! :p

[Leirus]

Wow. Clearly the Cassidy family is the winner 44-44

I love Sean... Anyone can put an Scan with him in by Bachalo in his classic Boston Celtics Jacket? That issue when Emma made him go out the aeroplane...

But now that he is gone, my love goes to his beloved daughter...

[Jack Flash]

Poor Seamus. He's so pretty! But got no love.

[Kage Kisaragi]

I voted other.

[Waterlily]

I had to google craic. You learn something new everyday. I'm having trouble imagining a word that sounds like "crack" to indicate fun times and not something drug related.

As much as I liked Banshee in Gen X, I love Siryn in X-Factor.

Yes which explained the looks a group of my friends got in some bar in Chicago when one of us said "there's great craic here". :)

[MIMIC616]

I vote for Ireland's luckiest lass, Sham Rock!

[Jack Flash]

To quote Moira MacTaggert.... "Och!"

[Tobias March]

Black Tom....because he's got the stupidest power ever. Channels his energy through a shillelagh? Really? It's just a bloody stick people!!

edit: and Siryn is totally D4.

Also we're forgetting Pete Wisdom's Northern Irish lover from Wisdom - the only Northern Irish mutant I think, ever....

[Optic Rage!]

Dude, Siryn is so not D4.

You do know she and M dont really get on, and M is the DEFINITION of D4, except way cooler and not lame.

[Slung]

Mikl should be winning this one people! He is the greatest Irish mutant ever!

[Starleafgirl]

Black Tom....because he's got the stupidest power ever. Channels his energy through a shillelagh? Really? It's just a bloody stick people!!

You're forgetting when he became "plant" Black Tom. Don't ask me how it happened, but when he appearead in Generation X #25, he was a cool, evil sunovab*tch. :cool:

http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/5000/4568/87982-black-tom-cassidy_400.gif

He made bark husks of the Gen X kids to make Sean think he'd captured them when in fact he'd sequestered them away in some bubble at the bottom of the sea. Yeah, I don't know what was going on there, but he made Sean and Emma attack each other by controlling them.

wasn't there some tie-in to Krakoa the Living Island in that story?

[Starleafgirl]

... maybe in the next issue. I tend to go ADD on them when they don't involve Penance/Hollow. ;)
