@#12: Wow. Now I have to rethink my entire stance.
@Eddie deAngelini I agree with what you say about yourself. You’re American with Italian heritage. My Mum is English and my Dad is Greek. I was born and raised in London and English is my first and only speaking language so I class myself as English.
@ #10 Wouldn’t a marathon that takes place in Rome be an Italian Race?
@ #2) Hornacek: Also, there was Longshot, from the X-Men comics in the mid-80’s.

His mutant power was a probability field, which gave him “good luck”, no matter how improbable it was.
Not that I’m trying to start an argument over this, but this is something that I spend too much time pondering. When people meet my family or read/hear my last name, they say “Oh, you’re Italian.” I tell them “No, I was born here in the U.S.” They respond “I know, but your race is Italian.” No, there’s no such thing as the Italian race.
Okay, end of rant. Back to Spidey.
Extreme Spider: My 2 cents, Irish isn’t a race it’s a nationality. Your nationality is where you were born. Happy to say Pete is 100% American. Both of my parents are Italian immigrants, but I was born in Chicago. At most, I could say I’m from Italian descent, but I was born here so I’m 100% American same as Spidey.
I think I read somewhere that Peter Parker has some Irish in him. I forgot where though… Maybe JR or Bertone know.
“Miguel O’Hara… he’s at least half Irish.” Nope. Miguel O’Hara was born in America.
Miguel O’Hara… he’s at least half Irish.
Very funny. This reminds me of when my wife and I discuss super heroes.
and Syrn
Hornacek: That would be Shamrock. There’s also Banshee. Both were actually from Ireland.
There’s Domino who kinda has good-luck powers. Black Cat gained good-luck powers from the Kingpin.
Wasn’t there an Irish superhero introduced in the Contest of Champions mini-series? Dressed in green, had a shamrock on his costume?
Erin go Krista!
