It would be like dealing with the Juggernaut they would use one of their plans for him like knock off his helmet and hit him with a psychic

I believe Colossus is immune to telepathy and psionics when in his steel form

So if his helmet came off, would Colossus still be a rampaging maniac or would he revert back to his gentle self?

I saw him in the preview for the next Uncanny X-men issue putting his helmet on and he was still in his Juggernaut form. So to me it doesn't seem like removing the helmet would strip him of his Juggernaut powers.

Oh. I wonder how the X-Men will deal with him at this moment...

Oh yeah! I forgot that Juggernaut is weakened whenever they knock off his helmet. So hopefully they won't have to kill Colossus if they can just get at his helmet, at least I hope that the current writers remember this.

Hmm, here is my PERFECT WORLD . . . Jean is alive, and the Phoenix has been killed permanentley. Jean is with Scott, Emma is with Namor, and Logan is with Mystique. Kitty and Poitr are together, without any of that cytorrik avatar, juggerlossus stuff. Speaking of juggerlossus, the juggernaut is cain, and he is off the thunderbolts and an x-man. Besides cain, the roster consists of the O5, all new all different, new mutants, gen hope, and x-force, plus some people like rogue and gambit, namor, emma, and any other cool people I forgot. no x-factor. Oh, I forgot havok, hes there too. They live at the x-institute. x is prof. mags is far away with his brotherhood, living quietly and peacefully, Logan and Mystique are often gone because theyre avengers (mystique should be on the secret avengers?) Nightcrawler is 616, not aoa, aoa nightcrawler is in the aoa, which had been cured of apocalypse and his minions, and is sorta like the ultimate universe mister sinister is long dead ALL IS WELL

Now that's what I like!!

Big events have never had character development...at least from what I've seen.

Yep! It's like all they are focusing on is just the action, but not how it affects the characters. The only big event story that I thought actually developed the characters was the Dark Phoenix Saga.

Bump.

It's been real hard to get into some of the X characters because of this.

Although I love the entire concept of X-men and have for over 2 decades I wont pick up stories that are badly written with horrible character development. For that reason for the time being I am only limiting myself to Uncanny X-men as it has the three X characters which I value most (Cyclops, Magneto and Colossus) and I'll watch the reviews for the others as time goes by.

They really need to stop with the "he's coming..." or "Are you afraid of whats to come"....events. Just write good stories.

I agree that the character development has gotten horrible over the years because marvel is so focused on doing big events that they don't realize that they are losing character development over this. I might read Uncanny X-Men because Colossus is in it, but I have to see how many good reviews it will get first.

I think that it not only stunts character development, but story development as well. For the past decade or so Marvel has had many many events, and what does the universe have to show for it? nothing, it goes like this; big event happens, heroes band together, fight tooth and nail, stop said event, a character or two dies, only to come back less than a year later, then it just repeats over again. So whenever i see a tagline that says "Nothing will ever be the same" or "The world will change forever" i know it's a load of bologna.

I agree that the stories are getting hit hard because of lack of character development. Whenever Marvel comes up with "It's Coming" event, I just won't read it.

Bump.

Claremont absolutely shouldn't be ignored, especially in regards to the character's themselves, but his shouldn't be the only well that writer's are plumbing. One of the things I liked about the aftermath to House of M was that it forced a paradigm shift on the X-Men titles, & compelled writers to take the X-Men in a new direction. While I don't agree with every decision that's been made since, nor do I appreciate every story, it at least broke the stranglehold Claremont's legacy had on the X-Men, & allowed for some new voices to be heard on the book. It's just unfortunate that those new voices only seem to want to speak through Cyclops, Wolverine, or The White Queen. Too many great characters, in my opinion, have been relegated to the sidelines for a long time, & thus have seen little to no character growth in the past decade. Claremont's biggest strength was in character building, & that's the part of his legacy I'd most like to see current, & future, writers building upon.

Well said, well said!!! I agree that the concept of House of M was really interesting and I wanted to see more about how the mutants who lost their powers had to deal with this issue. Unfortunately, after House of M, so many great ideas were thrown out the window such as focusing more on the mutants who lost their powers and Scarlett Witch's attempts at redeeming herself. Every time I was reading the current X-Men, all they focused on was Scott, Emma and Wolverine and I was wondering to myself about what happened to characters like Iceman, Beast, Colossus and Kitty. I think the House of M storyline could have been the greatest X-Men storyline ever if only the events after wards had focused more on all of the X-Men characters instead of just Wolverine, Scott and Emma.
