Which code name needs a comeback?

[Jack Flash]

There are some FANTASTIC code names out there that nobody is using anymore or the beloved character is dead or both!

So which if any would you like to see Recycled?

That said, I am totally a hypocrite, cuz part of why I HATED Tbird III is his usurption (is that a word?) of Johnny's name. But honestly I can say without Bias that it was due to the fact that Jimmy had previously used it and it felt disrespectful in how he was intro'd.

I'd probably have a problem with Banshee being used too, due to a viable family member replacement.

so that aside, which would you like to see Re-Used.

1. Beef
2. Sabretooth
3. Copycat
4. Ugly John
5. Skin
6. Bezerker
7. Changeling
8. Blowhard
9. Locus
10. Other?

[JKMD]

For me, Sabretooth is Sabretooth. There is no other besides the great Creed.

To keep on with the Gen X kick, how about Gaia? And I always though Orphan-Maker was such a sick name. Descriptive, terrible, and awesome all at the same time.

I dig you!

and totally agree!

Figured you'd agree. Just a gut feeling...:smile:

[lockerogue]

Killer Cooch. If only that was a codename. :frown:

[darknessatnoon]

I have no clue who Blowhard is, but he gets my vote.

[Diablito]

Berzerker is such a cool name.

[eurazn]

I have no clue who Blowhard is, but he gets my vote.

I couldn't find much about him online, but per Marvel.com:

Virtually nothing is known of the past of the man known only as Blow-Hard before he joined the underground community of mutants known as the Morlocks who lived in "The Alley", a huge tunnel located beneath Manhattan. Blow-Hard came to be a member of an offshoot of the Morlock community known as the "Tunnelers", who despised the other Morlocks, whom they called "Drain Dwellers". Seeking to escape the massacre of the Morlock community by the superhuman team of assassins known as the Marauders, the Tunnelers escaped to the surface world. While resting on one of the Hudson River's dilapidated piers, Blow-Hard was shot and killed by a member of the notorious Savage Wolf gang.

I also found this image:

Despite the image above, the codename still sounds naughty, so maybe the new incarnation can serve as the Hellfire Club's counterpart to Stacy X :tongue:

[DDM]

Berzerker is such a cool name.

Bezerker's only appearances in X-Factor #10-11; he harnessed electro-magnetic energy:

Bezerker vs Cyclops

He's killed when he lands in the ocean while tapping into his mutant ability to wield electro-magnetism. He was the leader of the Tunnelers. The only survivor is Masque.

[Catlin]

Bezerker. That is an awesome code name (and the name of one of my favorite school horses).

[Jack Flash]

Bezerker rocked out in X-men Evolution too!

[lockerogue]

Bezerker rocked out in X-men Evolution too!

I loved Ray in Evo. He was so awesome.

[Jack Flash]

I totally loved the "Tunnelers".

I kinda feel like Pyro couldn't be replaced, but I'd love to see a Pyra.

[HeckBoy]

Bezerker sounds cool. They should give it to someone new.

[pryde15]

I will admit... I loved the codename Sprite. :redface:

But I'm not sure which one needs a comeback, so I think I will just vote for all of them.

Cooch Killer

[HellFrost]

Bezerker was awesome in Evo. I think that they should create a new Bezerker. Same or similar powers as well. Or, if Surge changes codenames, I guess she can take that one as well.

[Rachel Grey]

Wait wait wait... Someone actually called himself Beef?

Please tell me Deadpool made fun of him at some point.

He died before Deadpool's existence.

[Rachel Grey]

Oh.


Close enough.

[DeniseXfrost]

Blow Hard


LOL LOL

[Weapon Ick]

There definitely needs to be a character named Blowhard back in action. Their catch phrase could be "I blow stuff" which, incidentally, is also the title of my X-Factor slash fic.

[Jack Flash]

Blow Hard was tough! Bezerker's kid brother should show up and take Ink's place on Young X-men!

[HellFrost]

Wait wait wait... Someone actually called himself Beef?

Please tell me Deadpool made fun of him at some point.

Lol. I think it might have been a play on the term 'Beefcake.':tongue:

[Jack Flash]

Cooch Killer

Killer Cooch?

Beef was a Hellion. He should totally be brought back as a Circuit Boy.

[Jack Flash]

The All-New Beef! in the fantastic Origin entitled: "He's what's for Dinner"

Cole Alexander was on his way to the White Party when he noticed a suspicious man following him. After tricking it in the bathroom with said man, he makes his way to the Hotel, where he is SHOCKED! to find that they don't have mineral water and that their Hotel Gym only has 2 Treadmills!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After complaining to the manager, and tricking it in the Hotel's Sauna/Steam Room, Beef goes Shopping! Maybe it's just the Florida Heat or the Meth he took the night before, but Cole's feeling wierd! After finding a fantastic pair of white linen slacks and a shiny white sleeveless V neck shirt, Cole stops by the Spa for a mani/Pedi! But OMG, maybe it was the Non Fat Soy Caramel Machiato he had earlier, but he's starting to feel real anxious! Cole goes back to the hotel and sits in the hot tub, where he meats a number of handsome gentleman. Ahhhh, now he feels better. After a quick disco nap, he's off to the party! During the party somebody who looks an awful lot like Chris Claremont offers him some Kick! or MGH! He's not really sure which, but after shooting up, he totally feels Wierd again! Poor Cole! Just as all is almost lost, and his party weekend is almost ruined, his mutant powers activate and he grows taller and more handsomer and adds mass! Ooooh even down there! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Now he fights Hydra and AIM on weekends when the clubs or the bathhouses are dullsville.


BEEF! He's what's for dinner!

[Flinkman]

i went with Changeling or Skin.

no real rhyme or reason, just liked the characters.

[Colossus77]

Killer Cooch. If only that was a codename. :frown:
Well Excalibur had a female villian called Cooter.

LOL! But why does this sound suspiciously similar to the experiences of some of my friends ... do I know you, Jack Flash?! :biggrin:

I should have voted for Beef instead of Blow-Hard ... d@mn it!

Beef was one of the Hellions. He died in Uncanny 281.

Beef was a relatively new recruit of Emma Frost, the White Queen, when she attempted to regain Firestar back into the fold in The New Warriors #10:

I doubt Emma Frost named Beef as a code name, but rather he himself chose it. Beef possessed superhuman strength, speed, agility, etc al. He basically replaced Thunderbird II when he joined The New Mutants & then X-Force as Warpath.

It has been a long time since I read this issue but the White Queen wanting Angel back into the Hellions had nothing to do with it. Thrash hacked into the Hellfire Club's records to get information for Angel and when Emma found out, she crashed Thrash's penthouse.

[Joe Acro]

I say Changeling. It's a nice, simple descriptive name (like Copycat, which is my second choice). And since DC isn't using it anymore, I don't see a problem.

[crystalline green]

My votes for Changeling too. It was always one of my favorite superhero names. :cool:

[La Fea]

Locus sounds puuurrrrty.

[SYBERNYMPH]

I Wish They Would Bring Back
Catseye
Risque
Copycat

[Jack Flash]

Locus sounds puuurrrrty.

she totally was!

[DDM]

Locus sounds puuurrrrty.

Locus was really Magik-lite without the magic & Limbo; I also found it odd with each appearance, she looked completely different. She could have been developed more.

I always thought the plan was for her to be revealed as Illyana. I read that somewhere.
