Right throughout this current era Banshee has been completely out of character. I know in the main he's only been either wallpaper or cannon fodder, but the very few glimpses we've had of him just...

I'm a father, I have a daughter.

If my daughter died and I was a former detective, and there was an ongoing investigation I'd pretty much expect to at least be updated by them. I guess if I was...

I really loved the dynamic of that team for the first three or four years, Wolverine wasn't always front and centre and the other members all got chances to shine equally. I'd always wanted to see...

The further down the line we get the more I'm thinking it's going to be the All New All Different team. What's happened recently with Colissus points me even further in that direction. If the...

You know, I genuinely thought about Caliban and didn't even think about him as the huge guy. That would be absolutely perfect.

Hellions - Vanisher

X-Factor - a real detective, so Banshee

Excalibur - obviously Nightcrawler

Sword - Armour

X-Force - Callisto

"The Moira book is a more complicated answer that I'll get into below".

Where below?

Well that comment clearly shows how badly Banshee has been written for decades. Possibly the only, kind of, high profile Irish man in comics and his Irish accent can be mistaken for a thick Scottish...

"To me my Hellions".

I'm still laughing.

Yes, of course. Probably the most underused of all the core X-Men.

Yeah, that's right. But there's still a power struggle coming. Shaw's about to get his comeuppance, there's then three seats up for grabs.

It's going to be interesting to see if there are a...

I have quite liked the entire event. Some of the outcomes were pretty obvious, but how they came about were well handled. Most people realised there'd be a couple of "deaths".

The removal of...

Absolutely, and when Shalvey did that alternate cover with Banshee flying in front of the Cliffs of Moher I thought there was a possibility something might finally be done with him. Sadly up until...

"I haven't had to wipe my own ass since my x-gene activated" was by far my favourite line in any comic for years.

Of course you're right, but how long does the honeymoon period last?

In King's The Stand when the Free Zone committee forms those originally on that committee were mostly the obvious choices,...

Wow. A great post. Seems to sum up the entire premise currently. But I do think it's got really good chances to continue and progress, even as a nation, long term. I'm sure some of the issues you...

I mean, not just that, but of course what you've brought up stands out. But 12 people running an entire country? 12 people with no expertise in healthcare, economics, state education, defence,...

Aristotle came up with the idea that money originally came from barter. But there are other schools of thought, it perhaps grew from a gift based society, and was quantifying "I owe you one".

I...

Yes, you're right.

What kind of representation is there on Krakoa? Are the council representing the views of ordinary citizens at all? Where does anyone with a grievance go? How are issues...

Banshee saved Japan, I guess he has to be respected there too.

More generally, I'd think Storm is respected quite widely.

A point I tried to make less eloquently earlier. Will the psychics think "I'm doing all this work and there's Sunfire (for want of a better example) just sitting getting drunk, I deserve more". Or...

Another good point you raise is the desire of people (yourself in the example you use) to actually work and contribute to society.

Loving this thread.

It makes me also think about what's...

Well, sorry again. Guess I just got carried away.

Is this how you expected the discussion to go?

Check out my earlier post about currency. They won't necessarily have, or need their own currency or bank. They could be using a friendly nation's currency, an, or, be pegged to another currency...

Looks like you and me are thinking along very similar lines. Fascinating.

It just keeps giving this new direction, it could go on for years.

I guess the original poster never really expected...
