Sean Cassidy (Earth-7045)

A detective and heir to a castle and fortune in County Mayo, Sean Cassidy was a former Interpol inspector with flight and sound manipulation abilities. After his wife died in a terrorist bombing, he blamed his cousin, causing him to run off with his daughter and driving a rift between the two. Moving to New York City, he was offered by Professor Charles Xavier to join the X-Men when the original five are kidnapped. Being about 10-15 years older than the most of the other recruits, Banshee serves a mentor, who applied his experience in espionage and anti-terrorism to the younger members of the group.
