Kudos on the new idea. I always loved Banshee from the early X-Men comics; felt that he never got enough page time though. His relationship with Moira was also underdeveloped. I can see a number of potential cameos you could play with: Cain Marko (our beloved Juggernaut) as you probably know used to hang out with Tom, then there's the Excalibur gang and their connection to Moira McTaggert (I can see Kitty and Xander hitting it off - especially if he's a musician), Oz, Willow, and Rhane Sinclair would be an interesting love triangle. Someone mentioned Siryn already, and if you bring her into things then you have an opening for Deadpool (The more I think of it, the more I really hope for Deadman Wade and Xander meeting up - there's just something magical about a friendship between the pair that makes me viciously giddy. Can you imagine how Angel and the rest of Sunnydale would react to such a team up? It gives me tingly shivers!)
Any who, just a few ideas that jumped into my head while reading. Use them if you like, discard them if you don't. Either way, I eagerly await more of your work.
The start of another great fic. One small suggestion "Orbs of Nezzla'Khan" might make an interesting addition. (They got almost completely ignored in the show.) Keep up the good work.

Very fun. If I were him I would try to keep Daddy Harris in my life 'cuz unless he was an abusive A-hole, he is the one that should be called dad. After all, he took the responsibility of it, ol' Tom was just a sperm donor.

Good premise, although it feels more like a one-shot than a multi-chaptered story.
In keeping with his Irish heritage, Xander could go by the codename “SAMHAIN,” the Celtic Halloween holiday. This would be ironic considering all the Yet-Another-Halloween-Fanfic there are out there. The Irish and Scottish pronounce SAMHAIN as ‘Sawin’ or ‘Savin.’
There was also a 'Ghostbusters' villain named Samhain in the animated series, a pumpkin-headed ghost embodying All Hallow's Eve.
At some point, Black Tom Cassidy was badly injured and had a wood-like substance grafted onto his wounds, giving him chlorokinetic control over plants. If Xander got a blood transfusion from his father, he might develop similar abilities.

Certianly interesting... I suppose this is going to push willow to develop her magic faster, now that two of her friends have powers? If you continue the story and go that way, please have her do somthing with battle magic. Her spells in the series were all largely useless untill glory.

I like it, but.. There is a real possibility Faith will end up dead, and yet no one actually gives a shit? I like the X/F pairing but even i can see how Xander would feel after Faith tries to kill him. But Giles talking about the council making sure there will be a new slayer so casually? And Xander accepting that no questions asked? OOC and cold SOB fit right now. I hope Xander doesn't give mercy to any enemy, including human or mutant ones cause that will be a pretty big mistake now

Great to see you adding a new story! This looks like it'll be an interesting one, too. I mean, usually one of the scoobies is a closet mutant-hater (which really makes no sense), so it's good to see them not really even batting an eye at Xander getting powers. It'll be interesting to see how the Mayor thing will progress with Faith out of the picture, too. The thing about Xander joining the Dingoes, too. Can't wait to see what's next! Hope you update again soon!
