a light goes out

The Lights show up already Kenji-less in UXM #9, also released this Wednesday:

Uncanny X-Men #9's (which deserves your money imho tbh) creators are Kieron Gillen & Carlos Pacheco.

	Wouldn't it have been more original if the monstrous-looking character with moral issues would NOT have gone down the villain route? Seems like a waste of a very interesting character to me. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 11 comments) (Show 11 comments)

	dude, total agreement. Him and Laurie are the best characters of Gen Hope, a shame to waste him. Then again, X-Men are never really dead for good. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 5 comments) (Show 5 comments)

	Agreed. I don't think he's dead for good, but if and when he returns, it will no doubt be as a villain. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 4 comments) (Show 4 comments)

	It also seems COMPLETELY out of character with Kenji's portrayal up to this point for him to have been treating Martha like that. Also there's the basic fact that he was right. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	He was mind controlling the majority of Utopia too, or at least influencing them. He was being a hypocrite and he was ugly, so the fact that he had a point just got completely glossed over. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Unfortunately that will be the case. Now if he went about in a totally different fashion Hope would be the one portrayed in a negative light to everyone on Utopia. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Complete agreement there. Especially for a team that is (or at least in some incarnation was) supposed to be about "protecting those that are feared & hated b/c they're different-looking." Kinda misses any pro-transhuman points the writers might try to be making if they keep adhering to the "beauty = good and ugly/different = evil" trope. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
