Shatterstar

Personality Notes:

Writers:
There are two very distinct portrayals of Shatterstar. One being the angry, hostile mutant with a blood thirst unmatched, and the other is the more curious, adjusting adventurer. Certain writers (namely Rob Liefeld) continue to write him as though his stay on Earth has been nothing but miserable, whereas others (Fabian Nicieza and Jeph Loeb) attempted to flesh him out by following him as he learned Earth’s ways. These portrayals have dueled back and forth since Shatterstar’s existence began, almost as bad as a split personality disorder. Because of this, many people have made arguments about their perception of the character and how his behavior is to be interpreted (namely his social and sexual behavior). However, despite all the conflictions, the writers have made it a point to keep him ambiguous -- leaving him as one of the most controversial X-Men characters to date.

Killing:
Shatterstar, despite having taken hundreds of lives, does believe in a cause for killing. He sees no honor in killing innocent victims or children, and he has also voiced against killing unjustly. Many times throughout the run of X-Force he has voiced on killing in the name of justice, and that murder only be brought about to those who ‘deserve’ it -- like bad guys and threats to the human race. And even though it has been referenced many, many times that he has killed people, there have only been very few deaths he has caused on panel. He killed Mojo on ‘tape’ when Mojo had abducted him and he nearly killed Micromax during Civil War. Almost all others he has fought on panel were only seriously injured, or he was stopped by Cable or Domino. He claimed to be blood thirsty and emotionless during the second run of X-Force, but those statements had only been contradicted by himself by the end of the Limited Series and Civil War.

Quirks:
~Although a very intelligent speaker, Shatty is infamous for mangling idioms. Common sayings and slang are often taken literally by him, and he wasn't known much for using them until he was under the pen of John Francis Moore.
~He also has absolutely zero interest in fashion -- and it shows. His outward appearances (hair styles, clothing, accessories, etc) are probably just as bizarre as his personality. Like anyone ever had the 'nads to tell him that though.
~Is accustomed to hot weather and is not at all bothered by hot temperatures. He considers the Nevada desert nothing..
~He gets extremely annoyed by people who talk too much. He dislikes when people talk their way through battle (even though he is guilty as sin for doing it himself), whine, complain, lie, or disrespect. However he does have quite a foul mouth himself and is notorious for insulting the hell out of people when he fights.
~It absolutely pains him to leave the house without his swords.
~He is constantly referred to as an 'MTV Pretty boy' and has been compared to the dudes from Duran Duran.
~He once claimed to find the affects of alcohol undesirable, but has since taken up drinking. Whether or not his healing abilities would actually allow him to get intoxicated remains to be seen.
~Is infamous for jumping and flipping around and over people to grab their attention. He has been seen doing this numerous times to his own teammates (at very impressive heights and lengths).
~He is very petty. He is a sore loser and does not like when things don't go his way. While he seems to follow Cable's orders pretty well, he has, on occasion, been seen sulking or talking back when he doesn't like something. This also includes attempting to kill Feral numerous times, throwing a fit in the med lab, yelling at Domino for stealing his sword, sulking for weeks because Ric left, and sitting on the floor in the Danger Room declaring he was no longer a warrior because Warpath beat him one time in a spar. He is a total control freak, and once that control is taken away he's basically beside himself.
