COMPLICATIONS
Accident: While flying, Sean cannot hear above his own scream; his Perception is Disabled.
Enemy: Black Tom Cassidy, his cousin.
Honest: Sean is friendly, honest, and open in his relationship with people. It is obvious in both his attitudes and actions that he loves life. He is the perfect light-hearted Irishman.
Prejudice: Sean is a mutant. He is also Irish.
Relationship: Sean is romantically involved with Moira MacTaggart. He has a daughter from a previous wife named Theresa.
Sean Cassidy worked for Interpol for years before realizing his mutant powers. He has since retired with his love, Moira MacTaggert, and his own long-lost daughter, Theresa, who has sound-related powers similar to those of her father. They all live on Muir Island in Ireland. His cousin is Black Tom Cassidy, the mutant villain. Even though he and Black Tom have an enemy relationship, Black Tom did send Sean's daughter to him when her identity was discovered.

It had to be an American that named Sean "Banshee," because no Isishman would give themselves a codename that means "wailing woman."

In my Marvel Universe, Sean is a member of Excalibur. The X-Men have enough people on their team. Plus, his detective skills from his Interpol background are a real boon to the team. Sean is one of the few actual detectives in the Marvel universe.
It's odd. DC has a huge number of detectives, but few scientists. Yet Marvel is chok-a-block full of scientists with few detectives. Huh...
