In that case, I think it's more likely the Wiki information was added either by Kevin Grevioux, or by someone else at Marvel, in advance of it being used in a comic. Flank --Previous Message-- : They've never appeared in any official : handbook listings though. And all of their : comic appearance are with out real names. : The whole "Christian Cood" : sibling, and Redneck's real name thing MAY : have come from the X-Men Last Stand novel, : but I've got all the handbooks, and the : UncannyXMen.net write ups have them listed : as unrevealed names, and every source that : I've seen EXCEPT for wiki, and a couple of : wiki sites like marveldatabase including the : sibling relationship and still not including : the real names. : : But no, this had to have come from wiki, : because there was no other source. : : : --Previous Message-- : It's possible that they got names in one of : the Official Handbooks too. But yeah -- : Lord how I hate Wikipedia misinformation. : : Thanks for the info. Poor Tattoo. : : -Jeph! : : : --Previous Message-- : She was Tattoo, Christine Cood, a member of : the Xavier Institute student body who had : become a member of Quentin Quire's Omega : Gang during the riot at Xavier's. She was : under the influence of the evil force called : Sublime while high on Kick a drug that : enhances a Mutant's abilities tenfold, and : also allowed the sentient force called : Sublime to control individual's actions. : : Tattoo, Redneck, and Tattoo's brother, : Radian (Christian Cood), were all placed : under arrest. They went to human jail, and : then served out terms working for : humanitarian organizations and charities in : third world countries afterwards, according : to Wolverine's 'sentencing.' This is : possibly where they became connected to the : Warriors, perhaps working for the Taylor : Foundation while helping out with third : world charities. : : Either way, we've learned for sure that : Longstrike was Tattoo, and we can infer that : Radian is Phaser. : : Some have extended this to meaning that : Redneck, the third of the trio to be jailed : and to lose their powers is Skybolt. : : An important thing to note though about this : revelation and what it means... to : Wikipedia... : : In addition to calling Longstrike both : Christine and Tattoo, the issue also has : Phaser called Christian. Given that the same : source of their being siblings (Wikipedia) : also had Radian named Christian Cood, I : think we know a couple of things. One, : Longstrike and Phaser are indeed Tattoo and : Radian. Two, Wikipedia added their being : siblings and Radian's real name to : continuity, as these were NEVER facets of : their character to appear in the comics. It : MAY have been from the X-Men: the Last Stand : Novel adaptation, by Chris Claremont, but : I'm not sure, I've not read it. It is the : only source for their Wikipedia entries that : I've not read and recently checked : thoroughly as well. I too have spread : support for the theory, and it is apparently : true, but having looked at it, Wiki has now : served the function of either making up a : character's real name and making two : characters related, OR bringing in out of : continuity stuff from a movie novelization : into continuity. Either way, score one for : Wiki misinformation. : : : -Jared : : --Previous Message-- : She has a brother, presumably both of them : used to have mutant powers, and her name was : Christine. Was she anybody we should : recognize from somewhere else? : : -Jeph! : : : : : : :
