Banshee is a fictional character, a superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He operates as a member of 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, although the banshee spirit is invariably female and the Irish Gaelic to English translation of Bean Sidhe (Banshee) is literally Fairy Woman, making it an odd choice for a male character (the male version is Fear Sidhe).
A former Interpol agent and NYPD 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, however, 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.- Actor Caleb Landry Jones played Banshee in X-Men: First Class. He fought Angel Salvadore during the climatic battle at the end of the film. In this version of the story, a prequel to the X-Men trilogy, he became one of the founding members of X-Men.[33] Irish actor Robert Sheehan was originally cast as the character but dropped out due to his show Misfits.[34]
- Jones won't be back as Banshee in the sequel, X-Men: Days of Future Past.[35]
