A little bump to see the question through, now that we're so close. Still looking for the exact codename.
quote:Originally posted by Future: Which member of the New X-Men student body owes their codename to a fan's suggestion on a message board?
The correct answer isn't: Elixir, Rockslide, Dust, Pixie, Wallflower, Surge, or Rubbermaid.
Hints - The character is still alive. - The character was a member of both the New X-Men and the Young X-Men. - The character was created by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir and debuted in the second volume of New Mutants. - The character was not a founding member of either the New or Young X-Men. - The character was formerly on the training team Alpha Squadron mentored by Northstar. - The character was intended to commit suicide, but editorial intervened and the story was scrapped.
Hint #7: The character once lost an arm fighting in the dimension of Limbo. It's since grown back.

Anole's the answer! Before he was a main character in the new class of X-characters, he was simply Victor the green skinned lizard dude. Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir were active message boarders at the time with their fans and took Victor's codename from a fan's suggestion.
All yours, Quis.
