A-Z Challenge: "X" Characters & Fred

A-Z Challenge again and this time...its the letter "X." I tried to think of one character that stood out, but there are so many, I'd thought I'd pick several X characters and then in one word describe them. Let see if I hit the mark.  Want to play along?  

Spirited


Goofball




Charles Xavier a.k.a Professor X from Xmen


Wise






Bizarre



X-10:  The evil villain in A Human Element.  
Check out my character interview with the twisted X-10.

Unhinged


Xtra credit:  Here's a story my son, a first grader, Xander a.k.a. Xman recently wrote.  He has a wicked mind and I have no idea where he gets it.


Title: Attack of the Caterpillars

All this time alien caterpillars were on Earth. 
And then the alien caterpillars tried to destroy us.  
But we killed them all and sent them back to space.  
And we lived happily ever after.


Triple XXX Threat:  Fred.  Oh, how he loves car rides!


Put the car in drive, Mom!
Remember to stop by and visit Schatze over at Mary’s BookHounds too.

Have a great weekend.

    WOAH!! Now that is a list that you have there. Great work. Xena and Dr. Xavier ate hands down the best for this post.

    I love Xander. He's such a great and loyal friend, all the way to the end. And I used to LOVE Xena when I was in the second grade. I wanted to be her :)

    We always need a few good, strong female warriors to keep things on an even keel.

    Xena and Dr. Xavier are my faves.

    Neat little poem by your son, thanks for sharing that.
    AND
    Thanks for checking out Louis 16th!

    Is that a threatening look on Fred's face. The caterpillar story is short and to the point. My kind of read. :)

    I'm reading Donna Galanti's novel and just got the the first section with X-10. He's pretty creepy so far! Eager to see where she takes him.

    @Kyra Lennon - I liked him too and Luna as well.

    @Geeky Daddy - Ya think? I did try...

    @S. L. Hennessy - You're right. Loyal is a much better description.

    @Tonja - It is...totally!

    @Paula Martin - S'okay. It's like a fantasy language.

    @Damyanti -Me too.

    @D.G. Hudson -I agree. Xena rocks.

    @Alex J. Cavanaugh - True dat.

    @Cecilia M. - Oh, Cecilia...lol. So funny. Love it!

    @J.L. Campbell - Maybe. :)

    @Elise Fallson - Monthra, huh? Sounds cool. Thx.

    @DonnaGalanti - Are you kidding? X-10 rocks! Aw, thanks. Xman is the best! My fav part is..."All this time..." only because I can hear him narrate the story. LOL

    @Lynn Proctor- Thanks, Lynn. :)

    @Jack - I know...she was a tough babe.

    @Cynthia -You too sweetie!

    @Kathryn Craft - X-10 is total creepster.

    @mshatch - Thanks. She was one of the first I thought of. I thought everybody would mention her. :)

    X is the worse post for the challenge, and also the most interesting and fascinating one... all at the same time.
    It's that unknown factor/quantity... that strange, elusive, hard-to-pin-down quality/thinggiemajiggie...

    It will be interesting to see what other bloggers do for this post!
    I think you hit the mark with your characters.

    What a great list of X characters! I remember watching Xena when I was little... I would probably think it a little silly now, but I loved the show back then!
