Please sign my important Shortpack petition!

[Monty_Cristo]

no, it's not to get him an appearance anywhere. If he's not appearing in X-Men Legacy, then he's not likely to appear anywhere. anyways...

[_Jayme_]

To be fair to Mammomax, there's not too many elephant/man things that can pull that name off.

Shortpack's name should be something extremely Irish...like Seamus.

[Nyssane]

Uh, Seamus is already used on Seamus Mellencamp. What about Aiden?

Also, Monty my love... use a different petition format! I hate that it requires you to fill in your entire address.

Racist!!!!

oh. i didn't realize that it was required. in that case, feel free just to "sign" in this thread. i just needed some signatures to send to BKV.

p.s. you could always use a fake address

[La Fea]

Signed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW I think his name should be Montgomery James.

[Diablito]

Shortpack has to wait in line.

Forge, Mondo, Gateway, and Caliban are all more awesome and still waiting. :tongue:

[Monty_Cristo]

Signed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Montgomery? that's an unusual one. are you naming him after the Simpson's character? :biggrin:

[Monty_Cristo]

Forge, Mondo, Gateway, and Caliban are all more awesome and still waiting. :tongue:

why would i have to wait? i started the line. have you heard anyone else ask for those characters to be named? besides, Forge's name is John Silvercloud or something equally stereotypical.

[Diablito]

LOL. Thats his fan fic/ wikipedia name.

Someone even put Umopan Zett as Gateways name on wiki too.

[Monty_Cristo]

LOL. Thats his fan fic/ wikipedia name.

well it's migrated over to comicvine.com as well. i don't mind those characters getting real names either. the difference is that Forge is appearing and will appear again. Shortpack has fell off the face of the Earth. i want closure. i can't move on until i know his real name. it being 'classified' is bullcrap.

[La Fea]

Forge = George Harjo
Mondo = Jack Tamesese
Gateway = no name needed
Caliban = Augustine Morasco

[La Fea]

Montgomery? that's an unusual one. are you naming him after the Simpson's character? :biggrin:

Uh.....after you silly!

[Monty_Cristo]

Forge = George Harjo
Mondo = Jack Tamesese
Gateway = no name needed
Caliban = Augustine Morasco

lol! Augustine?

Uh.....after you silly!

but my name's Michael. :D
i would want Shortpack to have something more memorable. i've always imagined him being from a prominent or well-to-do family. there are a lot of wealthy people in Xavier's mutant underground. maybe Shortpack's a mutant relative of one of them.

[La Fea]

lol! Augustine?

LOL wikipedia had that listed as his real name for the longest, I just ran with it.

[Monty_Cristo]

works for me. the last name surprised me. i never really associated any one ethnicity with Caliban.

Signed. But this petition is to reveal his name not for his appearance in Legacy?

[Monty_Cristo]

Signed. But this petition is to reveal his name not for his appearance in Legacy?

yep. i don't want to seem greedy. i just want what i didn't get a year or 2 back. i don't think asking for a character to be named is that demanding a request. you just throw 2 names together. but thank you for signing the petition.

[DeniseXfrost]

I don't think Brian ever actually had Shortpack's real name in mind.

[Monty_Cristo]

I don't think Brian ever actually had Shortpack's real name in mind.

yeah, well he's had several years to think one up. he can make anything up. i'm not picky.

[DeniseXfrost]

Well he could just any random name...but then it would be meaningless, wouldn't it?

[Jack Flash]

I sign! It's sad that Vincente and Mondo and Shortpack aren't better represented in X-comics today.

[Monty_Cristo]

Well he could just any random name...but then it would be meaningless, wouldn't it?

not to me. i think a creator should care enough about his creation to give it a name. have you ever watched a horror movie and cared about a nameless character being killed off? naming something can sometimes mean a world of difference. plus, i'm tired of just referring to him as 'Shortpack.'

[RickyD410]

*signed*

Name I want: Spencer Green. Or some other random last name.

[Monty_Cristo]

I sign! It's sad that Vincente and Mondo and Shortpack aren't better represented in X-comics today.

i would like to see more of all three. i just wish that more writers felt the same way.

I suggest sth French-ish. I always like a French name.

[Jack Flash]

Shortpack always seemed like an Owen Collins to me.

Owen Collins Leblanc? ;)

[Jack Flash]

Luc Francious Leblanc!

[Monty_Cristo]

Luc Francious Leblanc!

LOL! Francious. now there's a middle name that will get you beaten up. sounds very Canadian. see, i don't even know where Shortpack is from; whether he's an American or not. he's a complete cipher. :biggrin:

[Affinity]

He won't reveal it and rightly so!

Just like I hope he will never reveal 355's name. RIGHTLY SO. Because, really, 355 IS her name. *enraged for no good reason*

[Jack Flash]

it's sad. I am currently pretending that Vincente is a Spanish Moor. Vincente Obregon for the WIN! I should try to add that to his Wiki page.

[Monty_Cristo]

i'd like to think that his real name is Vincent or Vincente; at least part of the name. Vincente isn't much of a codename, at least. he could be a Moor.

[RolandJP]

Dick Small
or
Midge

Shortpack isn't his name. it's something he picked because he was a "secret agent." Decimation obliterated the mutant underground. so, to me, it's only fair to reveal his name. if they don't want to do that, they should show that Shortpack is still around and a covert operative. it's only fair.

Dick Small
or
Midge

is Midge a first name or a last name? and why wouldn't he go by "Richard?"

[RolandJP]

Richard Small...perfect!!

[Monty_Cristo]

Richard Small...perfect!!

if Brian K Vaughan says his name is richard small, i'd be perfectly alright with that. i just hope there's no confusion with Little Richard; the singer.

I am too lazy to actually fill out all my information.

So I will just say I signed in this thread.
