Hence, some humans having heads that looked like portions of their hair had been permanently shaved off.

    Age of Apocalypse was what got me into Marvel Comics. Not to say I wasn't familiar with the X-Men since I watched the 90's cartoon, and Spider-Man and his amazing friends years before. But I think Gambit and the X-ternals was the first one I actually read, and then I had to read them all.

      It would have been a REAL trip to see Abyss take on his 616 counter part, Nils Steiger (Also, called Abyss - albeit one slowly dying from the Legacy Virus.)
      Also, he would've made for a MUCH better "behind the scenes Villain as regards Genosha and the whole Mutate Bonding Process. (It would also have been FAR more of a challenge for Mr. Sinister to put him down...)

    Gambit kills a psychopathic Colossus? 😳......😄.
    I'm a huge fan of Gambit(fellow Cajun☺), and a big fan of a non-psychopathic Colossus, but it is cool to know that, if need be, Gambit is capable of taking down someone like that☺.

      Looks like I'm not the only one who heard that. Also, Genosha is pronounced "Jin-OH-sh-Uh", at least in the 90s animated series it is.
