Uncanny X-Men #28: That's Just What Irish People Look Like

This time, we get the introduction of Factor Three, a supervillain group that is set to play as a major backdrop villain for a little while... and is also so forgettable that even though I've read these before I forgot about them entirely. We also get the introduction to a now famous X-Men character: Banshee! Though in this one he is a villain working for Factor Three. He and the Ogre are attempting to kidnap Professor X, also Banshee is BROKEN powerful in this introduction. Putting everyone in an area to sleep with noise, flying, breaking steel. It's like in an RPG where the boss that joins you is super powerful and then you get them and they are no more powerful than you. Anyway, they make two attempts to kidnap Xavier, the X-Men thwart them, Banshee gets captured, but then they find out he had a headband on that was forcing him to obey Ogre. Ogre escapes, but Banshee is ok.

X-tra Notes: This one is fine. It isn't terrible but it isn't good. Banshee being introduced is cool though. But Oh My God his original design is horrendous. I've generally been avoiding putting images in the short posts, but this one deserves it:


Why does he look like he has visited from the Planet of the Apes???? Also, Mimic is still a terribly annoying character.
