Guess these X-Men from their Spanish names!

[show name]

In Madrid last year I picked up a couple black and white reprint collections of old 80's X-Men stories, translated into Spanish.
Thought it might be a pleasant diversion for some to try and guess the X-Men from the names they are given in Spain.

So, here's some members of La Imposible Patrulla-X ("The Impossible X-Patrol")!

Rondador Nocturno
Gatasombra
Mariposa Mental
Kaos
Picara
Tormenta
Lobezno
Hombre de Hielo
Coloso
Ciclope

And some X-villains:

Los Merodeadores
Cazador de Caballeras
Acro Voltaico
Dientes des Sable
Demoledor
Arpon

Most of these are fairly easy for someone who already knows Spanish, but in any case thought you all might find it interesting to know what our amigos mutantes are called in another language!

EDIT: corrected misspelling of Merodeadores and omission of "de Caballeras" from Cazador's name

[psycwave]

Madriposa Mental is Psylocke.

[Home made ectoplasm]

I'm guessing

Lobezno - Wolverine
Hombre de Hielo - Sunfire
Coloso - Colossus
Ciclope - Cyclops

[Pixie_Solanas]

Ciclope = Peepers

[coveredinbees]

Tormentra-Storm
Rondador Nocturno-Nightcrawler

[pryde15]

Rondador Nocturno

Nightcrawler

Gatasombra

Kitty Pryde

Mariposa Mental

Psylocke

Coloso

Colossus

Ciclope

Cyclops

Tormenta

Storm

Those are my guesses...

[Waterlily]

Rondador Nocturno - Nightcrawler?

[Personamanx]

Kaos is Havok.

[limerick]

Rondador Nocturno---Nightcrawler!
Gatasombra--Gambit?
Mariposa Mental
Kaos
Picara
Tormenta
Lobezno--Wolverine....the only one I definitely know!
Hombre de Hielo--Hell Boy(joke!)
Coloso--Colossus
Ciclope----Cyclops!(it's gotta be...tell me it is!)

And some X-villains:

Los Moreadores--Apocalypse?
Cazador
Acro Voltaico----Magneto?
Dientes des Sable
Demoledor---Juggernaught?
Arpon

[coveredinbees]

Gatasombra-Shadowcat

[worstblogever]

Gatasombra = ?
Mariposa Mental
Kaos = Havok
Picara = ?
Tormenta =
Lobezno = Wolverine

Ciclope = Cyclops

All guesses from 4 years of High School Spanich 20 years ago. I know Iceman is right. :tongue: Shadowcat was my guess for gatasombra too. oh, duh, gata...

[Nicoclaws]

Gatasombra is totally Shadowcat.

Aw crap. I got beat to it.

And it's way hotter.

All of these are way hotter than their french versions by the way
(Nightcrawler is Diablo, Wolverine was Serval for no reason)

[Aguja]

OMG Mariposa Mental <3 <3 now I want to remake my CBR name.

[Nicoclaws]

Dientes des Sable would be Sabertooth
Arpon would be Harpoon i guess
Demoledador... Juggernaut ?

edit : oh, these are the Maraudeurs... so Demoledador would be Arclight, Cazador = Scalphunter...

[MarvelGirlBoy]

Dientes des Sable


Sabretooth

[pryde15]

Hombre de Hielo = Iceman. (I had to check that out to be sure.)

Los Moreadores = The Marauders.

Yes indeed, two collections with Mutant Massacre and some other stories!

Well nice job everyone! I think the whole list has been guessed by now, but anyway here it is in one go:

Rondador Nocturno = Nightcrawler ("night watchman; one who goes about at night")
Gatasombra = Shadowcat
Mariposa Mental = Psylocke ("Mental Butterfly" :biggrin: )
Kaos = Havok
Picara = Rogue
Tormenta = Storm
Lobezno = Wolverine ("Wolf cub")
Hombre de Hielo = Iceman
Coloso = Colossus
Ciclope = Cyclops

Los Merodeadores = The Marauders
Cazador de Caballeras = Scalphunter ("Knight/horsebacked Hunter")
Acro Voltaico = Arclight ("Voltaic arc")
Dientes des Sable = Sabretooth
Demoledor = Blockbuster ("devastating; overwhelming, crushing")
Arpon = Harpoon

Sorry, in my original post I had misspelling "Moreadores" (which doesn't mean anything) and omitted "de Caballeras" for Scalphunter, but luckily someone else knew the whole name.

For those who posted additional Spanish names and names in other languages, thanks! I love that stuff!
