Btw, I have no idea who this 'banshee' is )) Is it male or female? It is hard to tell by looking at this toy =) Or is 'banshee' always 'female' in English (as it is in Warcraft game)?

Banshee is an Irish dude. Wait...Scottish? I can't tell the two apart.

Banshees in Irish lore are usually female; the superhero is male.

Aww, I just Wikipedia'd him and found out that Banshee is dead. That's sad.

..Oh, and Banshee made his appearance way before Polaris. Havok and Sunfire came very shortly thereafter. Missed this edit. Banshee obviously appeared earlier, but he didn't join the team until later, and he -was- part of the group recruited by Prof X to rescue the six held captive by Krakoa. That, obviously, being what's depicted in Giant-Size #1.

I think Justix is far and away the best player in that list; however I don't think he can be counted as a Master because he just doesn't stay long enough.
Then again, if he were registered he'd easily be past 2000 and possibly 2100 by now and I'm not sure I could dispute it on the same basis so who knows?
And apart from that Zugzwang is the only one who stands a shot at the title (then again I seem to be quite strict; I'm not sure I'd count Pig or Spacca as Masters) but my games against him don't seem to have been anything spectacular.
If it were a question of of who could be the next Master (as opposed to who is now) then it would be a different story, I would put awall up there. He just keeps on shooting.

My apologises for any ignorance, but I had alway thought Justix was an Alt... Who, much like Perfect, was started on the basis of a flawless record...
Only to be abandoned after that was no longer possible...

No, he just gets too stressed after he's been playing for a month or so and disappears for a while, only to get reset and eventually come back to smash anyone bold enough to accept an elo game with him.

ah, gotcha. Ah well, I don't think I've ever had the pleasure to play him... at least not that I remember...

I remember Justix and ExDeath being the only people to play the D/P loop with me, before Slarty found it out and publicised it. Back then I could get everyone else because they went for invis, but not Justix. We played the loop right to the end. I think it's the only time I've played him though.
