So ultimate Colossus is a gay drug addict........... awesome

is it wrong that this just turns me on even more!?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Just read 94. Not pleased with this drug addiction thing AT ALL. It totally cheapens everything Colossus has done thusfar. Sure, he' still a strong guy but he needs to shoot up to do it. I wanted the ultimate universe to differ from 616 as much as the next person, but this is a bad change. Here's hoping somehow Pete overdoses on banshee and instead of dying, just gets superstrength added to his base powers....like it already should have been

However, his "team" looks totally badass

 

[Generation Lee]

I was guessing something like that would happen as they mentioned the dreaded secondary mutation and shock horror even third. I expect it to be that Colossus would have eventually gained strength with his skin but gradually as he matured, banshee will probably kick that part of his X-Gene into gear or it may have even slowed it.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm more inclined to believe he would have never gotten superstrength w/o banshee

 

[Havok83]

thats how I took it too. His only mutant power is his metallic skin.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Which is pretty awesome if you just wanna be defensive. But not for Colossus.

Hey, look at it this way. You could be a Banshee fan, and just have found out that your favorite character has been reduced to a drug for a bunch of whiney teenage mutants to abuse.

That's a kick in the nuts. One at a time, at that.

All of that coming AFTER said character's 616 model was killed off in order to spice up a horrid mini-series.

 

[UraniaChang]

Banshee is not going to be happy at all, and no, I don't mean the 616 character, I mean the user on this board.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yeah, but there's like 5 Banshee fans left in the whole world.

 

[chamber-music]

I must be one of them. Someone at Marvel won't be happy till every member of Generation X is dead!

Im another. I hate what they did with him in DG

As weird as it is, I kinda liked it. Totally different twist, and I would have never expected it. However, I wish that it would have been someone else rather than Colossus. They already gave him a twist by making him gay, so I would have expected another character to be shooting up.

I don't like Banshee-enhanced Angel

 

[javon]

Damn, I STILL haven't gotten this issue!

 

[gothicFLAVOURS]

I think Banshee just develops the original mutation to a next/higher level (Rogue having control over her power, Angel becoming more bird-like, Colossus getting superstrength...) so I think Colossus will keep that power after the arc is done because he's been using Banshee for so long or something like that.

I'm really liking this new arc, it's quite better that the Kirkman era.

 

[PWN3R]

I kind of like the changes. It doesn't hurt Pete's character IMO, he is doing it for the right reasons. And just think about what caused him to use for the first time. His father had just abandoned him due to his sexuality, and he had no choice but to turn to the Russian mobsters. At the time he saw no other way, but to enhance his powers. Now he's stuck. I can see it happening.

AT LEAST this book is trying something new, unlike Kirkman's crap run of rehashing everything with a twist.

I dunno, I don't necessarily love the changes they made, but I'm more than willing to see where they take it. Could turn out good.

And YAY for the art not sucking.

 

[Angamb]

but.... what have they done with the x-men???

The rest of the X-Men are still there. That's just Colossus' team--the group that's going to get Northstar back.

God, I hope so

I'm not mad about his reasons for doing the drugs; you can shoot up for whatever purpose you'd like. I'm pissed that w/o this drug, he'd be a weakling : His strength is one of the attributes that drew me to the character. I guess I took for granted the fact that it came naturally, now that that's been taken way, I guess I'm just kinda disappointed.

It's not like steroids where you're strong before it, but REALLY strong after it. Colossus w/o banshee can barely move around under the steel skin. How weak is that.

You have to consider how young he was when he first started shooting up...I'm sure he'd be a lot stronger naturally now. Also, steel all over your whole body WOULD be outrageously heavy.

Big Gay Colossus' Big Steroid Party. Coming soon to the Ultimate Universe.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I can't even brag about him being stronger than Ultimate Thing anymore or that time he pwned Thor and IronMan at the same time. They were all operating under normal conditions/power...Pete was freakin high :

 

[Suiciety]

Somehow me thinks, Petey won't be singing the following song anytime soon:

Straightforward actions, common goals
Working together with straight clean souls
Working for a common cause, the youth unite
Join with us in our fight
NAILED TO THE X

We have goals in our minds we're not blind
Working for the better youth,
we're the future of mankind
Working for better youth, the best we can
Join with us, we have a plan

NAILED TO THE X

 

[Telekinetic]

but.... what have they done with the x-men???

ughh that just looks ridiculous. id expect something like this out of exiles, not the ultimate universe

and what happened to psylocke? is she back in limbo?

 

[AndThePickles]

Psylocke is still at the mansion.
