When Harry Leland (White Rook ?) was sinking Colossus into the
ground, Rogue grabbed his arms to hold onto him, but Selene
(Black Queen) disintegrated her gloves so she absorbed
Colossus' power.  If she had continued to hold on, she would
have torn his arms out, so she let go.  He was then
unconscious and in flesh-form, so Kitty went after him to try
and save him.  I loved this issue, in particular because I
loved the Nimrod android in it's first few appearances.
There's a great panel where Nimrod has been damaged and it has
a "thought panel" where it says it will be vulnerable for
approximately 120 seconds as it self-repairs.  At this point,
Colossus' hand punches up through the ground and grabs it's
foot, crushing it, and then proceeds to kick the shit out of
it !  Excellent stuff !!

For the same reason many people who need glasses for more ordinary reasons
don't wear contacts.

It's only his living tissue and things mostly in contact with it that change.
The latter part covers clothing, hair, and feces in the digestive system.
Anything in the toilet, of course, doesn't count.

Given that he can move at all, breathing voluntarily to talk is no trouble.
He doesn't _have_ to breathe, though.

	after Claremont left, he had to deal with a bunch of Jim Lee
	nonsense. Now that Niceiza has taken over X-Men, it's not in

Nope. "The Twelve", as seen in X-Factor #13, also includes Franklin Richards.

Wrong again. He would refer to them as "The Strong". I believe something was
said about The Twelve being the shapers of mutantkind's destiny (or something
like that). I would be very surprised if professor Xavier wasn't one of The
Twelve.

This just shows the absolute ignorance of bigots.  First of all, there is no
scientific basis that homosexuality is a culturally learned trait.  In fact,
recent findings are giving indications that it may even be biologically based.
Obviously Jami has not kept an open mind, or for that matter have been reading
the news (remember the big news item about Simon LeVay's findings on gay men's
brain structure?).  Second of all, Jew, as defined by the American Oxford 
Dictionary, is "person of Jewish descent, or one whose religion is Judaism".
So Xavier's speech included religion, sexual preference as well as biological
ethnicity.

Who the hell is this person, to get on their high horse and assumes to speak
for the rest of us?  My cultural heritage is Japanese.  I was not at all
offended by Xavier's speech.  As a matter of fact, I was impressed by it.
The message of peace was clear to me.  Xavier was speaking against narrowminded
bigots like yourself, Jami Johnson.  

Truth, Justice and the American Way is for everyone.  How about another all
American saying, "Liberty and Justice for ALL"?  Or do you conveniently forget
that homosexuals are people too?  I wonder which other groups, cultural or
personal beliefs (religion or otherwise), that you consider to be undesirable?

I'm sorry if someone else has already written about this.  I just read the
letter section yesterday and had to write a reply.  The editorial reply was
very tastefully done, restrained and mature in its outlook.  I, obviously,
am not so calm.  I'm still fuming that the message of the X-Men, peace and
harmony for everyone (sounds corny, I know) is not getting through to these
so called fans.
