Banshee is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with the X-Men. Created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Werner Roth, the character first appeared in ''X-Men'' #28 (January 1967). An Irish mutant, Banshee possesses a "sonic scream", capable of harming enemies’ auditory systems and causing physical vibrations. He is named after the banshee, a legendary ghost from Irish mythology, said to possess a powerful cry. A former Interpol agent and NYPD police officer, Banshee was always a decade older than most of the X-Men and had only a relatively short tenure as a full-time X-Man. He was a mentor of the 1990s-era junior team Generation X. Caleb Landry Jones played the role of Banshee in 2011's ''X-Men: First Class''. ==Publication history== Banshee was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Werner Roth, and first appeared in ''X-Men'' #28 (January 1967). When the character first appeared, he acted as an adversary to the X-Men under coercion, but soon befriended the team and eventually appeared as a member of the X-Men in ''Giant-Size X-Men'' #1 (May 1975). The character was forced to leave the team when his superpowers were damaged in battle in ''Uncanny X-Men'' #119 (March 1979), and remained an occasional supporting character for the team for several years. Banshee eventually healed fully, and rejoined the team in ''Uncanny X-Men'' #254 (Dec 1989) for a short stint, later becoming a central figure in the title ''Generation X'', which lasted from 1994 to 2001. Banshee was killed in issue #5 of the 2006 ''X-Men: Deadly Genesis'' limited series. Banshee was one of the feature characters in the 2011 two-issue limited series ''Chaos War: X-Men''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Banshee (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
