Anyone have a citation for the codename "Firefist"? I've recently re-read the X-Terminators limited and the relevant New Mutants issues, and he's just "Rusty" throughout. I also own the X-Factor issues and while I haven't read them recently, I recall no codename there either. (I also own the relevant X-Men issues, and in the ones I remember I don't recall a codename ever being used either, and my memory is probably reliable through the Fatal Attractions event if nothing else). So, where'd this codename come from? --Squirrelloid 08:18, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
It was apparently (I don't have the issue to hand to confirm for certain) applied to him by operatives of the Right in X-Factor Vol 1 #23. When he was resurrected by Eli Bard the name was again applied to him by a text box in X-Force #21. Lokiofmidgaard 09:21, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
Ah, so he never actually uses it himself... that would be why I don't remember it. Seems weird to give someone a codename they do not use... --Squirrelloid 15:34, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
FYI: this and this. :-) Cebr1979 (talk) 06:01, August 30, 2016 (UTC)
