In this case, the would-be aspiring rapper from Daytona Beach, Florida, born Kitty Beckwith chose one that could walk through walls. While this new Pryde can't walk through walls, she does have the ability to get inner-lip tattoos. And she's joining a long line of other musicians who have adopted comic book names into their onstage personae. For instance? Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah and Method Man also go by Tony Starks (a la Tony Stark) and Johnny Blaze (from Iron Man and Ghost Rider, respectively). And the inimitable Jean Grae (a la Jean Grey) no doubt drew from the power of the X-Men heroine (who would later go on to become Phoenix) when she was crafting her own persona. Then there's Houston rapper Judge Dredd, who took his name from the authoritarian-loving character from the UK comics. And there's the deceased Big Pun, who shortened his name from “Big Punisher” in his homage to The Punisher.īut there are other X-Men character names worth mining for rap gold, yeah? Here are five. Magneto: First of all, I'd pretty much do anything for a helmet. ![]() Sometimes, I just go into bike stores and try on the helmets whilst whispering to myself, “I am the champ,” Magneto doesn't just have a helmet, though he has a metal helmet. Plus, another benefit of adopting the moniker “Magneto” is the ability to rhyme the name with “Neat-o,” one of the most common words I use to signify to strangers that I am a capable and in-control adult.īlob: I know you might not be following me on this one - because his powers pretty much consist of being a giant, immovable blob - but, in a metaphorical sense, I could have a lot to gain by taking on the stage persona of “Blob.” Shout-out to the haters because, like the Blob, I'm an impenetrable lump of angst. Gambit: Like Gambit, I also like to throw cards at people, albeit for slightly different reasons.
