Office X-Men

This post is merely to introduce the cast of characters in my office so that next time when I write about the office politics here,I can use fictional characters to represent the real people here.Why did I use X-Men?Firstly,because I am a fan.Secondly,because this is my blog and I can say whatever I want,use whatever characters I fancy.Thirdly,there is no thirdly.

Ok,for the benefit of my other colleagues who blog,I will list my colleagues in order from where I sit: They are morrissey (Cyclops),nanie (Storm),daemon (no character in mind yet),j (none either),ted (Colossus),r (Wolverine),b (no character yet),c (no character),s (Rogue) and g (Banshee).Now I will give an explanation why I call them such.You don't need to know about the X-Men to see what I meant.I'd explain,being the kind-hearted,altruistic miser that I am.

Cyclops: That's me.So named because I am heroic,righteous and have great eyes.Ok,maybe not entirely correct.I am Cyclops because when it comes to work,I am all eye-power.I look at other people do things,that's all...strangely,that gets things done.Never underestimate eye-power.And like Cyclops' Optic Blasts,I have perfected the death gaze and eye rolling.

Storm: I don't know.I am just filling up characters here.

Colossus: Teddy is big.Colossus is big.They are both big.Hence Teddy is Colossus.

Wolverine: With his adamantium claws, Wolverine can shred the rest of us to bits with his prodigious work-rate.And with adamantium fused into his skeleton,he is virtually indestructable in any corporate restructuring.His ability to heal himself automatically also means he can survive all sorts of poison darts and arrows others shoot at him.But he's also a loner.Someone so mysterious,little is known about his present,let alone his past.
 
Rogue: Rogue is actually our department head,leader of the Office X-Men.Ok,that was supposed to be Cyclops in the comics but this is MY blog.Rogue is so-named because when she is around,she sucks the life-force out of everyone else in the office.So everyone becomes listless and wants to go home.Wait,that occurs whether or not she is around.Anyway,like Rogue in the movies,she doesn't know what she wants and what she is doing.Typical boss.

Banshee: Banshee is not a commonly known X-Men.His power is his Sonic Scream.It is so loud that it shocks enemies into paralysis or just hits them like a tidal wave.In other words,he has a big mouth.He talks and gossips a lot.We all know someone like him around the office.He's also known as Boozeman around here.

I will go on to populate the rest of the Office X-Men characters before going on to describe the "adventures" we have down here.Till next time...stay tuned.
