“Colossus is always a lot of fun. Any time you have to draw a big bruiser like that, you know you’re going to have a good time. There’s a lot of broad action with him because of his strength and size.” 3/6

The same thread appears later in the run with the Genegineer and his relationship to his son, Philip. The Genegineer’s commitment to a system designed to safeguard the future costs him his son, thus enhancing the sense of ironic futility that consumes Genosha. 8/11
