Luck of the Irish: Siryn Appreciation

**Justin K.** · 06-12-2008, 09:03 AM

Starring Deborah Ann Woll as Siryn
(Thanks RoguishGurl)

I didn't see an appreciation thread for Siryn around here, so I hope you all don't mind that I made one, I feel she deserves one.
I'll start off by saying X-force and X-factor were what really put her out there in the spotlight, gave her a more major role than remaining on Muir Isle, just assisting Moira Mactaggert, you could feel tension between those two...

Why should you care about Siryn?

She's been around longer than a lot of these new characters (has longevity), and throughout the years, she's been portrayed consistently. She's not just Banshee's daughter, but she's her own character, living outside of his shadow. She's been in relatable, real life situations, whether that be a life changing injury, losing a baby, or her alcoholism, and even then, she was strong enough to overcome all those obstacles and come out on top in the end. She's also one of the few recognizable red-headed females in the Marvel universe, seen sometimes with a little bit of freckles on her cheeks; although she started out as a strawberry blonde. She doesn't look like another Jean Grey, she has her own look going on for her. She's not over-elegant, she likes to keep it simple, and can be pretty without being slutty or glamorous. Her powers have developed into a force to be reckoned with, whether it be sexuality or raw anger that's her weapon. I appreciate Siryn.

Siryn is pregnant with Jamie's baby. She deserves the love. Plus, she's our only current red-head hottie. Just wish she'd accept that her dad is dead.

I *love* Siryn!

Us redheads need to stick together, we're being written out of the gene pool!

**Swashbuckler** · 06-12-2008, 09:28 AM

I really liked her fling with Warpath and I enjoyed her alcoholism. She was a great leader during her X-Force years as well. I think she deserves a little more attention esspecially as a legacy character.

**Swashbuckler** · 06-12-2008, 09:28 AM

whoops, that's the first time i've ever had that happen to me. repeat posts, lol.

**Swashbuckler** · 06-12-2008, 09:28 AM

It is rather annoying when it does that.

**Fuji** · 06-12-2008, 10:41 AM

Siryn is pretty cool, and she does deserve more attention. Banshee isn't dead by the way, there's no way. It wasn't dramatic enough.

**Justin K.** · 06-12-2008, 10:44 AM

Siryn can manipulate her vocal chords to cause others to experience intense adoration for her, sometimes unintentionally. It has no effect on other mutants.

Here, Siryn accidentally has a woman fall for her.

How does Siryn talk while flying?

Isn't she supposedly screaming?

Her secondary mutation.

She has a mutation for extra vocal chords or something that allows her to speak and scream, I think. It's to set her aside from her dad.

It said her flight is powered by her vocal chords, maybe they help her fly as she speaks. I'm no expert on her powers

Is her baby going to be a boy or a girl? Anyone know? Any guesses?
