Scottish characters???

[digger2307]

I'm a Jock, and not in the american sense of being into american football (womens rugby) and all kinds of sports, I'm Scottish...

and its been playing on my mind , where are all the scottish characters? does anyone know any scots in the Marvel U???:tongue:

[Hibbleton]

Rahne Sinclair, Moira MacTaggert and those are just from X-books.

[Rurik]

I think Dum Dum Dugan is Scottish.

[Monty_Cristo]

i could be wrong but i think there are a couple of scottish Acolytes; Spoor and some other dude.

[digger2307]

I think Dum Dum Dugan is Scottish.

nah dum dums from boston, he's all yank

[Personamanx]

Is Banshee Scottish or Irish?

[Rurik]

Deadpool calls him Irish, so I'd assume both Banshee and Siren are Irish.

[digger2307]

aye, both banshee and siren are both irish

[Monty_Cristo]

aye, both banshee and siren are both irish

as are the leprechaun that live in their ancestral castle. :biggrin:

[Iron Maiden]

Millar's FF introduced a Scottish cousin of Reed's a couple of issue back but he was part of the cult that fed children to the Squid from Outer Space.

[steveg887]

Moira MacTaggert and, um... Scrooge McDuck.

Oh, and upon further research, apparently Wolfsbane is Scottish.

[digger2307]

haha I'm sensing an extreme lack of scottish characters in the Marvel U,

[marshal99]

Former Excaliber member Kylun was scottish , born Colin McKay from edinburgh.

Former Pantheon member Perseus was scottish.

[Aelle3]

Aberdeen Angus, Ahab, Bible John, Black Axe, Clansman, Claymore, Kylun, Lady Daemon, Ocelot, Proteus, Spoor, Joseph MacTaggert, Moira MacTaggert, Wild Child, Wolfsbane, Zaran

Not all heroes but a list non the less, you think thats a small amount, you should see northern Ireland.

[Iron Maiden]

haha I'm sensing an extreme lack of scottish characters in the Marvel U,

And they don't get to Wimbledon too often either :biggrin: (for the Monty Python fans)

[digger2307]

HAHA that sketch was classic, I would take some form of offence if motny python werent so damn good...:biggrin:

[worstblogever]

Seamus Mellencamp sounds like he could be.

[Captain England]

I'm a Jock, and not in the american sense of being into american football (womens rugby) and all kinds of sports, I'm Scottish...

I'm sorry. It must be awful for you.

[Loki]

Aberdeen Angus, Ahab, Bible John, Black Axe, Clansman, Claymore, Kylun, Lady Daemon, Ocelot, Proteus, Spoor, Joseph MacTaggert, Moira MacTaggert, Wild Child, Wolfsbane, Zaran

That's a pretty good run of the main Scottish characters, though Black Axe only lives in Scotland - he's not Scottish himself. Likewise Zaran lives in Scotland, but we don't know where in the UK he was born. You can add

Mordred the Evil (not Modred the Mystic), who was born in the Orkneys.
Ghost Girl (Wendy Hunt) of the WWII Crusaders.
Mutant pyrokinetic Brigit Shane.
Alchemist Daniel Decyst.
Dark Mairi of the Shore.
Lady Daemon's sister, Alisabeth.
Terrier of the Litter.
WHO's Alistaire and Alysande Stuart.
Angus Munroe (failed Hellfire Club applicant).
Caledonia.

Again, not all heroes by any stretch of the imagination, but all Scottish characters.

[Ptrvc]

Hulk....well no.

But his name is Robert (the) Bruce Banner.

[digger2307]

I'm sorry. It must be awful for you.

I have never heard such an accurate description of glasgow in my life, Scotland is a lovely place, aslong as u avoid glasgow after 5 oclock at night :tongue:

[SquidSquod]

Um, Cyclops?

[worstblogever]

Um, Cyclops?

"OCH! JEAN!"

No, he's just Anglo-Saxon American.

Forgot all about Brigit. For a second, I thought I missed a character for the Mutant Tracker... but nope, she's in there already.

[Crowforge]

That annoying guy that hits people with a dipstick.

[RolandJP]

I wonder why Millar, Morrison and the rest of our glasgow friends wont create a Scotts hero or villain?

Well unless you're Scottish there isn't exactly a burning desire to see it. It's like asking why there are on Belgian heroes. Because nobody knows where the hell Belgium is.

[digger2307]

I know where belgium is, and hey why arent there more belgian heroes or villains, but considerin there is a few scottish writters amongst the heavy hitters, I'm surprised there aint more characters, maybe they just dont want to be reminded of the scotland :tongue: haha

[Iron Maiden]

Ultimate Doom , Victor Van Damme, is from Belgium for what that's worth :biggrin:

I think there is something to be said for the bravery of peeing in your own backyard. Meaning---It's easy to create retarded red-neck Hulks and psycho yanks as a non-US citizen.
But Its harder to get personal and create/divulge ones own cultural hangups. :tongue:


PS. Deadpool is scotts.

[protege]

"OCH! JEAN!"

No, he's just Anglo-Saxon American.
I'm just wondering if his ruby quartz glasses would go with his kilt.

[RolandJP]

"OCH! JEAN!"

No, he's just Anglo-Saxon American.

First mentioned by the Ancient Greek geographer Ptolemy, the pre-Christian settlement of the Saxon people originally covered an area a little more to the northwest, with parts of the southern Jutland Peninsula, Old Saxony and small sections of the eastern Low Countries (Belgium and the Netherlands). During the 5th century AD, the Saxons were part of the people invading the Romano-British province of Britannia. One of the other tribes was the Germanic Angles, whose name, taken together with that of the Saxons led to the formation of the modern term, Anglo-Saxons.

SO its more like ach tung! we like Thor and chocolates! :smile:

[Hulk_Is]

"Are Scottish characters written in a certain Scottish way?"

[LiefeldFanatiX]

Aberdeen Angus, Ahab, Bible John, Black Axe, Clansman, Claymore, Kylun, Lady Daemon, Ocelot, Proteus, Spoor, Joseph MacTaggert, Moira MacTaggert, Wild Child, Wolfsbane, Zaran

Wild Child is Canadian.
That annoying guy that hits people with a dipstick.
Slapstick?
