10 Horrific X-Men Characters Who Should Never Appear In The Movies

10. Choir

By her teenage years, Xavier Institute student Irina Clayton had developed the mutant ability to throw her voice. How did she manage this? Well. She has three mouths on her neck. How else? Mouths. On her neck. Three of 'em. Ever since the character€™s creation in 2001, a whole lot of off-colour jokes have been made about Ms. Clayton and her multiple buccal cavities, because boys + the internet = urrgh. In fairness though, it€™s difficult to take the character seriously when her only mutant ability is the power to ventriloquise and harmonise at one and the same time. It appears that Choir may have lost her mutant powers in the events of M-Day in 2005 (in publication terms), when the unstable Scarlet Witch used her astonishing powers over reality to wipe out the mutant powers of the majority of the planet€™s homo superior, simply by glowing a little bit and muttering, €œNo more mutants.€ Like the Legacy Virus storyline in the 1990s, the idea was to create a dramatic device that could thin the herd of all the bloody awful X characters that littered the pages of the hundreds of mutant titles on sale. This one went a bit further, though - only a few hundred mutants would remain powered up, and poor Irina Clayton would lose what passed for her mutant power, and therefore the only possible reason to have three bloody mouths on her bloody neck.
