I can't imagine ever playing him over UXM Sunfire

Now this is what a Banshee should be. DP Banshee was just ridiculous, someone at WK has to be a mega fanboy of Sean for him to ever get that kind of dial. This one isn't half as good, but it's twice as accurate.

I want to like this Banshee, I really do. He's a core member of my favorite version of the team. But Banshee without any move and attack isn't accurate at all. He should have some Running Shot, probably a lot of it. I would have really loved to shave some points from his attack powers (maybe just straight PW the whole way, if that would save enough points to get him RS for the first couple of clicks). When I tried him he didn't do nearly as much as the other X-Men in his points range because of that lack of mobility (even with a TKer in Polaris). I would give him 3.5 stars...for his point value his powers and stats are far from terrible, but he is outshined by the rest of his "class".

It may be worth noting that Sean's (along with Havok and Polaris') "All-New, All-Different" trait is indeed worded differently, such that they increase all combat values, no longer excluding damage for the three 'New' additions.
