Well, an online review of the X2 DVD (and I have no reason right now to doubt it) did what most fans have wanted to do for a long time: freeze-frame General Stryker’s computer screen and read all the names. Here’s the full list, according to the reviewer. Can anyone help me fill in the names I don’t know? 1st column: John Allerdyce **(Pyro, natch)**, Ruth Bat-Seraph, Cecilia Reyes **(I believe she’s a local dance teacher who had Shadowcat as a student - is she really a mutant in the comics, or perhaps listed here as a known mutant sympathizer?)**, Everett Thomas, Victor Creed **(Sabretooth, of course)**, Nichole St. Croix 2nd column: Claudette St. Croix, Kurt Wagner **(Duh)**, Raven Darkholme **(Double duh - but note their being listed together)**, Jamie Madrox **(Multiple Man, who had a role in the novelization)**, Lila Cheney, Vanessa Carlysle, Wade Wilson, Scott Summers **(Triple duh)**, Doug Ramsey **(Cypher, later of New Mutants)**, Alison Blaire **(Dazzler, misspelled)**, Maria Callasantos, Andrea von Strucker 3rd column: Andreas von Strucker, Remy LeBeau **(the ever fan-demanded Gambit)**, Bobby Drake **(Quadruple… oh, skip it)**, Paige Guthrie **(Husk, sister of Cannonball)**, Yukio Oyama **(misspelled Lady Deathstrike, mutant only in the movie)**, Tom Cassidy **(Black Tom, brother of Banshee)**, Artie Maddicks **(kid w/tongue whom we met in film, communicates with mental images)**, Erik M. Lensherr **(you should know)**, David North, Tabitha Smith, Calvin Rankin **(Mimic)**, Dr. Nathaniel Essex **(Mr. Sinister, whom I don’t know much about - mutant?)** 4th column: Garrison Kane **(This name sounds familiar, but I can’t place it)**, Mortimer Toynbee **(Toad)**, Illyana Rasputin **(Magik, Colossus’ sister)**, Theresa Rourke **(Siren, whom you heard from in the movie)**, Sally Blevins, Angelo Espionosa, Shiro Yoshida, Guido Carosella, Ororo Munroe **(Storm)**, Keniuchio Harada **(Silver Samurai)**, Katherine Pryde **(Shadowcat)**, Dr. Karl Lykos **(Sauron)** 5th column: Omega Red **(Russian villain, but I thought he was more of an enhanced human?)**, Xavier’s School, Blackbird **(these need no explanation)**, Massachusetts Academy **(which? Can’t be Xavier’s; it’s in NY)**, Trask **(as in Bolivar, creator of the Sentinels)**, Graymalkin **(street where Xavier’s is)**, Zero Tolerance, Project Wide Awake **(one of these is the Sentinel project; I think it’s the latter - is the former just mutant-hating?)**, Beta Flight **(second-string Canadian superhero team)**, Jamie Braddock **(is this Captain Britain?)**, Dr. Henry McCoy **(Ah, Beast)** 6th column: Danger Room **(need no explanation)**, Forge **(mutant mech genius)**, Dept. H, Brotherhood, Weapon X **(last two need no explanation)**, Gamma Flight **(see Beta Flight)**, Rahne Sinclair **(Wolfsbane)** 7th column: Cerebro **(plot device)**, Legacy **(wow, if they already had the Legacy Virus here, no wonder Magneto’s steamed)**, Salem Center **(Xavier’s location, again)**, Franklin Richards **(Fantastic Four son, incredibly powerful)**, Alpha Flight **(top seed Canadian heroes)**, Muir Island **(where Xavier’s ex-wife works)**, Morlocks **(underground mutants, mostly those with physical deformities)**, Kevin McTaggart **(Proteus - Xavier’s son and major bad news)** Also: > [@](#): > > The “On Camera Graphics” section also includes an intriguing list of mutant nametags from Stryker’s Base, with even more names to add to the above including John Proudstar **(Thunderbird)**, Clarice Ferguson, Sidney Jones, Mickey Tork **(not the Monkee, according to a message board - Bloke from what is now X-Statix)**, Gunter Bain **(Unus the Untouchable, according to a message board)**, Roger Bochs **(Box of Alpha Flight, according to same board)**, Vanessa Geraldine Carlysle, Gardner Munroe, Leyu Yoshida, David Haller **(Legion)**, Jesse Aaronson, and Russell Collins **(as in Rusty?)**. Help, here? Some of these names seem common enough (or misspelled) that I’m not sure I can trust a web search. Danke! ---

Lila Cheney - long range teleporter/rock star Wade Wilson - Deadpool of the Weapon X program Garrison Kane - Kane of Weapon X I believe von Strucker twins - offspring of Baron von Strucker Massachusetts Academy - school run by the White Queen Emma Frost, home of the Hellions (bad guy answer to New Mutants) Dept H - Canadian govt group that heads up Alpha Flight That’s the best I can do with the leftovers. ---

Oops. Meant to hit preview rather than post. Another try. [Claudette and Nicole St. Croix](http://www.geocities.com/mldnero/monet.html) [Guido Carosella](http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Stargate/5981/strongbio.html) [Maria Callasantos](http://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/mathew/csferal.html) I only did a few of these at random, but googling any of these names plus the word ‘mutant’ will turn up bunches of links.
