Siryn is a superhero in the Marvel Comics universe, best known as a member of the X-Men offshoot X-Force. Like her father, the X-Men’s Banshee, Siryn (real name Theresa Rourke) is an Irish mutant, who possesses the ability to fly and a "sonic scream" capable of injuring an opponent's hearing and sending powerful vibrations through the air. Her name derives from the sirens of Greek mythology.
Comic Book History
Created by Chris Claremont and Steve Leialoha, Siryn first appeared in Spider-Woman #37 (April 1981) as an apprentice of the super villains Black Tom Cassidy and Juggernaut. It was later revealed that her father, Banshee, knew nothing of her existence and she was raised by his cousin and arch rival Black Tom after the death of her mother. Later, she left Tom and joined the X-Men’s cause.
Throughout the 1990s, Siryn was a member of X-Force, a platoon-like superhero team and for a time was its field leader. As a member of X-Force, she developed a relationship with her teammate Warpath and a flirtation with the mutant mercenary Deadpool. She left in 1998, when Feral, a former teammate gone bad, slashed her throat, destroying her super-vocal chords.
Siryn has since fully healed and currently is a member of the Paris branch of the international mutant task force X-Corporation.
Appearance in X2
In both the 2000 X-Men film and its 2003 sequel X2: X-Men United, several X-Men characters made cameo appearances as young students at Xavier’s School for Gifted. In X2, actress Shauna Kain portrayed a red-haired mutant who belted out a glass-shattering scream, generally believed to be Siryn.
