Since Nightcrawler IS German, West or East does indeed need to be indicated, but it has since occurred to me that maybe MARVEL never did so, which certainly lets YOU off that hook! Post–mortem:

I should have suspected the Global Guardians, which Andrew Collins gave a "yay!" Me, my first thought was, "That's taking the easy way out," but I'll admit that there may not have been enough "foreign" heroes in US--distributed comics otherwise. Hope you're planning on posting a definitive right--answers list (or at least saying, "So--and--so got them all right, check his list"). If Nightcrawler is German, rather than Austrian (and I see that I'm not the only one to consider THAT possibility) or Swiss or something, then, given the fact that he debuted in the mid--70s and would have been born in the '50s, East or West should need to be specified.

Wolverine (Canadian), Banshee (Irish) and Nightcrawler (German, Austrian or something of the sort) are the only characters I recognized for sure. I think that Spitfire is the flame--powered woman from Roy Thomas's Invaders (and, if so, English). Crimson Fox was the subject of one of the recent Urban Legend pieces and seemed French there. Bushmaster sounds Australian. I guess that's just me not reading much in the way of new comics in the past dozen years. Even so, it was fun, Brian. Thanks. Let's post this and check the others.
