Great powers, shame about the codename.

[Charybdis4]

So you've been blessed with the mutant gene & you've got all these fancy powers & you've just invested all your savings in a natty, unstable molecule costume. Your off to the big time! Hooray!

But you haven't hired a top class PR firm to come up with a super hot code name for youself, so you scramble around for the something to call yourself. You look in the dictionary & flick through magazines to get an idea, but you end up with something truely dire & embarrassing & small children laugh & point at you in the street.

Which X-related chatacters have been lumbered with the worst codenames of all time?

My top jobs:

SKIDS: Oh dear. Here in the UK "skids" is slang for sh** stains in your undergarments! The poor girl has been living in a sewer for most of her life & then she gives herself a handle which is the by-product of not wiping yourself properly.....

VINDALOO: Calling yourself after a hot curry, doesn't really instill great terror in an opponent, unless your up against "Princess Vegan" or "Food Allergy Lad"

LIFEGUARD: mmmmmmm. It's just a bit lame really, but then the character wasn't exactly top class. She should have called herself "Super-duper-can-do-anything-lass" plus Lifeguard is a name of a toilet cleaner product (with added limescale remover & a pine fresh smell!)

MAMMOMAX: I don't really need to add anything else.....:(

Any others........

[Karl H]

Maggott... - I althought what else you'd call him I don't know. Weevil Lad?

Boomer/ Boom - Boom - Makes her sound about 7years old

Thunderbird III - He has no connection to the previous 2 Thunderbird and his powers aren't remotely similar either

[Tobias March]

'Marvel Girl'. It's like a lead weight attached to Jean's neck pulling her down over the years.

I gotta admit I'm not a huge fan of Vics codename. I virtually never call him 'Anole'. It just looks and sounds a bit weird, even though it's fitting what with his lizard-like abilites (although Anoles don't have the flicky tongues or spikes). I suppose there aren't many other options for him though. Komodo sounds cool, it works for her but I've just never hugely taken to 'Anole'. I don't HATE it though...

'Armor' and 'Match' are a bit lame too.

I thought thunderbirds were indian... they were all indians right? Makes sense. :)

Mister Sinister... he's a bad guy right? just making sure.

Strong Guy... what can he do again? Telepathy?

Iceman... he rides on a icetruck from the icestation and puts out ices.

I like Anole - it's different & it's suits him.

Yeah but, Thunderbird I and II were native american Indian.

Neal 'Thunderbird III' Shara was India the nation India/

I'm hoping you're being sarcastic in a parody thread otherwise I've sounded like a patronising idiot... :o

Also, the Thunderbird is a native American folk figure. The nearest Hindu equivalent is the Garuda.

ahHAha!!~~~

Skids!!!! What a giant blunder!! TEEHEE!!

Still the suckiest Acolyte of all time, fire likepowers (now if his power was to cause flame like discharges from his foes mouth and or read I would understand). Whichever writter was on that day must have had Indian for lunch (his side kick might be Korma girl or Rogan Gosh), either that or Mags was really hungry that day "and you shall be Vindaloo... now go make one"

[Nyssane]

I don't like Switch's codename, it's bland and generic. He needs something more fabulous.

The Nasty Boys' codenames always remind me of gay sex. "Here's a slab of meat for ya, gorgeous. Lemme ram that rod 'til you be screamin' a ruckus. Damn, my hairbags always get in the way." But I love Ruckus as a codename and I wouldn't change any of the other Nasty Boys simply for that ghay factor.

Not an X-Character, but I always liked Poundcakes as a character. However, her name has GOT TO GO. Seriously, POUNDCAKES?

Sinister makes sense, if you see the mini which tells his origins.

Strong Guy was supposed to be funny.

And Iceman is pretty cool.

Anyway, codenames that suck:

Thunderbird III
Marvel Girl (and most codenames with Marvel on their name)
Armor
Omega Sentinel (which is OK if you're a villain, but as an X-man is not a good idea).

[Ice_Cold_Emma_Frost]

Omega Sentinel is more like the villain option in the Xmen legends game when you're sparring with the danger room.

She should've had something cool like.....i dunno Malice

[Chase]

I like Anole

So does Richard Gere.

Especially with hamsters.

[Slant]

Omega Sentinel (which is OK if you're a villain, but as an X-man is not a good idea).

Yeah, when I think "Omega Sentinel", I'm thinking of some 50 foot tall uber Sentinel.
