Since know one else has made Hellion his own solo Thread yet. I deceided to because a certain young X-men character (Ink) shouldn't be mention in the same league or compared to a great character/creation like Hellion. So with that let the love, the hate & the appreciation begin.

What's that kid been up to? Loved him in NXM.
Nothing. He's going to appear in next week's issue of X-Force though.
From the previews it appears that he has been kidnapped by the Leper Queen and will be injected by her new strain of the Legacy Virus.
Also we can assume through the previews that he also made the move to San Francisco.

Since NXM he has only been featured once, in a Divided We Stand story where he sought out Magneto after being abandoned by the X-Men. He will also be in this month's issue of X-Force, where he is abducted by the Leper Queen... who is injecting mutants with an altered version of the legacy virus. So it may or may not be his last appearance. I'm certainly hoping it will be the first of many in X-Force.

So which is everyone's favorite of Hellion's costumes?
Here is his original badass "look-at-my-cool-X-leather-jacket" costume when he led the Hellions squad:
http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/4226/136842-6400-hellion.jpg
Or do you prefer his solo costume when he was on the New X-Men Team?
http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/4226/158686-179270-hellion.jpg
Or his "classic" look when the New X-Men got matching costumes?
http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/77/285980-178982-hellion.jpg
And then there's also his House of M uniform. He was the leader of the Hellions squad working for SHIELD.

I think Hellion needs to be reactivated in the current X-setup.
He has great potential. I don't necessarily like the last characterisation of him being this goody-two-shoes. He seems to work better as an almost arrogant jock/magneto style quality.
Restore him to that and bring him back I say !

It wasnt just his claim though. Leper Queen said the exact same thing about him. Thats why he was picked. And honestly, he IS one of the strongest. Well, strongest isnt he best word, but he definitely is one of the most powerful. TK is an extremely powerful tool, and can be implemented in a vast variety of ways. Julian can do a LOT.

He would only be amongst the top thanks to M-day
I put him In Mid tier ATM his TK his limited by his lack of Finemotor control,
would you really rate him as one of the most powerfull mutants even now after M-day when that tier has people Like Stryfe Cable Cannonball, Legion Vulcan Magneto Exodus apocalypse bobby Frost Havok and Xavier?

Yes, he still one of the most powerfully mutants on earth & in 616 marvel u.
U do know Cable very weak right now ? & Stryfe was dead up till a few months ago & he now in the 616. There are very TK users that are more powerful or & have better control.
More powerfully TK users in 616 : Quentin Quire (Omega), Emma Frost (But he can fly using his while she can't) Xavier (same as Emma), Exodus
More control TK users in the 616 : Quentin Quire (Omega) , 3 in1, Exodus, Emma Frost , Xavier,
I honestly believe he stronger & can do more with his powers than Justice can do with his

Emma, the Cuckoos, and Xavier aren't telekinetics. I don't think Quire was ever billed as anything other than a skilled telepath. Hellion isn't a telepath.
As for his power levels, they are very high. Considering what a majority of mutants can do, he's certainly above mid range. His issues with fine tuning aren't a big deal when he could overpower most.

Nah. He doesnt need fine motor control to pummel someone, or destroy a sentinel with a glance. Its his raw power that makes him so formidable. Lets look at the mutants you listed: Stryfe, Cable, Vulcan, Magneto, Exodus, Apocalypse, Iceman, Xavier. Almost all of these have been known to be either unlimited in power, or the most terrible, crazy, powerful beings on the planet. If you can compare Julian to these guys, I'd say hes in a good place.
Havok, Emma Frost and Cannonball, I wouldnt put them at that level at all. Theyre no where near that powerful. And Legion, I dont know anything about him. So I cant comment.

Hmmm, never thought of that b4. I'd say yes his TK does llow him to stimulate his hair & makes it grow fast. :cool: :biggrin: :smile:
Hellion reminds me of a character I used to watch on a US soap called the Bold and the Beautiful. The character's name is Brooke Logan, to bottom line it she's a low grade skank, who talks like a 14 year old girl and cries. Yet for this character seems to have a legion of fans. Hellion reminds me of Brooke.
Hellion seems like nothing but a self absorbed a/hole who can't get over himself and who actually takes fiendish glee in other people's misforutunes. Also unlike the bigger dicks in comics books (ie. Batman, Namor). Hellion has no redeeming qualities, such as being brave, smart or a good fighter. Sure he's saved a few people once and awhile. Bun on a whole his bad qualities far outweigh the good.

Hellion reminds me of a character I used to watch on a US soap called the Bold and the Beautiful. The character's name is Brooke Logan, to bottom line it she's a low grade skank, who talks like a 14 year old girl and cries. Yet for this character seems to have a legion of fans. Hellion reminds me of Brooke.
Hellion seems like nothing but a self absorbed a/hole who can't get over himself and who actually takes fiendish glee in other people's misforutunes. Also unlike the bigger dicks in comics books (ie. Batman, Namor). Hellion has no redeeming qualities, such as being brave, smart or a good fighter. Sure he's saved a few people once and awhile. Bun on a whole his bad qualities far outweigh the good.

I like Hellion because he reminds me of young Magneto & Namor in some ways. I like that he call non mutants Flat-Scan & feel that mutants are better than the ape men. I know you can't see his redeeming qualities because you seem to hate him with a passion lol. But he does He really does love & care about his friends (Dust, Mercury, X-23, Rockslide & Anole ) its been show many times in the comics that he does care/love them & had some/few touching moments with them. Usually people who hate Hellion choose to discount & ignore those moments.
I love that he told Pixie to shut up & then started beating the hell out of racist Ape men because I would have done that exact same thing lol. I love take he has a take freedom & right attitude (because thats how I am also) & not talking about/waiting around for the to aspected & assimilated in the apeman's society.

He's a Flat Character that was given too much page time, one of two mistakes from normaly first class authors

you've either not read anything other than his last few appearances (Divided We Stand to current) or you've got blinders on. Hellion is the most heroic of the the New X-Men characters. He risks his life to save his friends on multiple occasions, he always does the right thing and pays for it every time. By all circumstances, Hellion should be a bad guy. His association with the X-Men cost him everything. His family abandoned him, many of his friends are dead, and he's nearly joined them multiple times. But we see him now, still hanging with the X-Men. Is it because he has nowhere left to go? Or is it because what Magneto said to him, that he desperately wants to be an X-Man. He wants to be the hero. Its part of his identity.
Granted, some of the motivation for being heroic is his ego. The fortune and fame would feed that. But most of the time, its to protect his friends. People he is loyal to a fault with. He doesn't accept failure, he saved Laura when all his peers said it would be hopeless. He went after Mercury after she was kidnapped because she was his friend, and thus it was his responsibility.
He has flaws, thats a good thing from a character perspective. His fierce defense of his friends often translates to turning quickly against people who betray him. He has no tolerance for mutant haters and will act quickly and and often hastily against them.

That's your opinion... Just because you have one doesn't make it right or true. & while your in here dissing Hellion (which you seem to do alot on here for whatever) I'd like to informed you that your fav. Character is kind of a Rip off of this guy. Enjoy :evilsmile:
Where did i claim it was Right exactly? I merely stated my opinion which 'm free to do and will continue to do. Something you do just as much as i do.
As for the rip off Issue, IMO a Rip off of a Pretty cool character is by some margin cooler and more intresting than a Character stereotype
you've either not read anything other than his last few appearances (Divided We Stand to current) or you've got blinders on. Hellion is the most heroic of the the New X-Men characters.
Even I a Hellion hater has to admit that the Guy has done some pretty cool crap and Deserves the Title of a Hero, But the Most Heroic of the lot? NO WAY
Courage Bravery, Being a champion of virtues, noble or a person who posses admirable qualities These things are what a Hero is and while Hellion has defintly qualified himself to be a Heroic guy. but he is far from being the most heroic of the New X-men? Thats Just Fan arrogance
Yea a Guy who is one of the most powerfull people on the planet thanks to his mutancy who fights evil is braver than others that fight the same dangers with no amazing TK?
He risks his life to save his friends on multiple occasions,
Yes he does, But thats it he saves his friends no more, i don't see him helping neutral people or even trying to help characters that are "Bad" despite being unjust unlike other New Xmen
he always does the right thing and pays for it every time
What series have you been reading? Hellion has on countless times done morally lackng actions that have done nothing but cause pain and tension for his amusement ( which was kind of Funny but not the point)
By all circumstances, Hellion should be a bad guy.
Please Loads of characters have worse sob stories than hellion and are fighting for the right side.
His association with the X-Men cost him everything. His family abandoned him,
They abandoned him because he was a mutant thats happened to many characters heck Elixir's parents did it to his face , David was refused his dream because he was a mutant, Sofia was emotionally starved/abandoned by her father for years. All of them have worse or equal traumatic pasts and are better than Hellion, Lets not start to mention the Characters that have surfered the real horrific pasts.
many of his friends are dead,
I count Tag? thats the only person hellion cared about who's dead, he plainly stated his contempt for the others who no longer possesed powers right after M-day. So don't make it sound like he was heartbroken by the students deaths.
Granted, some of the motivation for being heroic is his ego. The fortune and fame would feed that. But most of the time, its to protect his friends. People he is loyal to a fault with. He doesn't accept failure, he saved Laura when all his peers said it would be hopeless. He went after Mercury after she was kidnapped because she was his friend, and thus it was his responsibility.
Hellion wasn't the only person that suported Laura, Emma was against her if thats what you mean all her peers, and if i'm correct his first encounter with Laura he wasn't at all nice
He has flaws, thats a good thing from a character perspective. His fierce defense of his friends often translates to turning quickly against people who betray him. He has no tolerance for mutant haters and will act quickly and and often hastily against them.

Hellion has a tendency to go out of his way to help people he doesn't necessarily get along with, including bad guys. He was adamant that Laura not kill people and refused to kill Kimura. When he thought David was physically assaulting Nori, he sent him into the ceiling and got sucker punched for turning his attention away from him to make sure she was ok.
As for being the most heroic... name somebody else in NXM that's jumped out to the front lines every single time, that watches everyone's back in the fight, and takes the safety of the team upon himself and acts instead of just stressing under the pressure. Its taken its toll, but he's personally rescued a majority of the team in battle. Just look at the Nimrod fight, or when he wouldn't abandon Laura to fight alone when they rescued Mercury.

The poster Korg states :
The outfit has cultural significance beyond Quentin and his gang in the mutant community. It is how mutants were first depicted in early propaganda posters in the Marvel U. & It's actually from an old Daily Bugle cover. Quentin uses it as a template in New X-Men #134.

7thangel and Dave13 basically covered what I wanted to say. But no don't have blinders on when it comes to Hellion. I've read what he's done in the pages of NXM and Divided We Stand. And it just boggles my mind how a character so odious and self-centered can have following. But I guess it's easy when you just ignore them.

He certainly had more panel time to show off in C&C's NXM than some others. But I do think his heroism tied to his personality flaws makes him one of the more interesting of the characters.

True He did Spare Lives but was that him or the X man that he's Supposed to be?
And why did he jump to the assumption that David was assaulting surge? when David has never shown even a hint of being capable of that, I know why he allowed his dislike of David to to affect his judgements

You don't get it if you're going to try and judge who the most heroic of them is you have to judge them based of the broad definition of what a Hero is, Not just on how many Saves they've tallied up. Which includes things like Nobility, morality and Courage
Wind Dancer, Prodigy, Surge and even Dust have all shown more Heroic qualities than Hellion.
Yes Hellion has Flaws and they make him intresting but his Flaws aren't as Intresting or as impressive as Others
.

That's not what you posted orignally. You said that 'Hellion is the most heroic of the the New X-Men characters.' Until someone pointed out that to be the exact opposite. That's fine if you like the character because you like that he's jerk. But I'm trying to figure out why someone would find a character who is so jerky likeable. I just don't get it.
Hellion is so great. Just all kinds of awesome.
I guess people don't like arrogant characters or something, but I can't get enough of them.
I love arrogant characters, Batman, Emma Frost, Namor, Aquaman, heck even X-23 is a bit high on hereself. It's so delicious to read about their belief in themselves. But as arrogant as all these characters are. They at least have good reasons for being the way they are. They're either super smart, super rich and very, very good at what they do. Most of them are actually self-made people.
But Hellion...what has he done? Nothing. He's born a mutant with special powers. So what?

I enjoy Hellion's character because while he may be a jerk, he is one who would risk anything for the people he cares about. He risked his life to save X-23 when all the other New X-men and Emma would've let her die. He was hell bent on saving Mercury when the Facility kidnapped her. No one here will deny he's a jerk and has a bad temper. But is is a very caring character too. Just look how his moments with Dust and Mercury.

I stand by my statement, I think he is the most heroic of the team. His personality flaws don't negate his heroism, they give him depth. I'm not trying to convince you of his likability. He's not for everyone. But there is more there than selfishness and jackassery.

You cant have one without the other otherwise each is just a fake without substance.

Action speaks louder than words?
The weakest New X-Men purposely gets into a fight with one of the X-Men most dangerous foes. What does he do when the chips are down? He runs away, grabs a gun, runs back and opens fire on him and then calls the play that wins the fight. Dont need no TK to be a champion.
When the kids went after the purifiers? He pointed out that this wasn't the right thing to do, that this was at best a chance for pure and simple revenge and didnt focus on the goals of locating the Messiah. Look what happened to those kids. Go Hellion you got stabbed because you were stupid.
When Elixir got into a fight with the Hellions because he was once a Reaver, who jumped in to the fight to back him up just because he was outnumbered? Oh thats right, Hellion the most Heroic started this fight. Oh well at least the real hero was here to back up Elixir.
Also, this New X-Men isnt a racist.

matter of fact, hellion abandoning those that lost their powers, fostering bad feelings and effing up the morale prior to the wallpaper kids day of reckoning, and that whole mess he attempted during the wither issue definitely keep him from the title of most heroic. that's not a bad thing and it doesn't mean he can't achieve it in the future, but he's not there yet.

I think it's a shame that more people don't like Hellion. Out of the New X-Men he definitely seemed like one of the characters with the most personality whereas a lot of the New X-Men had pretty paper thin character in the beginning, if you ask me. Granted, they all evolved into more dynamic characters but in the proper frame of mind no one was really more or less heroic than Hellion.
Why do I like Hellion? He has pride not to let himself be walked all over. He has pride to stand up for his fellow mutants. He's not the one-dimensional jerk he's been made out to be because we've seen his introspective side and we know that he cares deeply and is loyal to his friends. Sure, Julian has his share of faults, as does every good character, but that adds to the appeal; in spite of those faults you can see greatness in that particular character and want to see them grow into it.
Maybe some of you don't agree with me. That's fine. However, I know Hellion's a good character and hope he continues to have a future with the X-books.

Why do I like Hellion? He has pride not to let himself be walked all over. He has pride to stand up for his fellow mutants. He's not the one-dimensional jerk he's been made out to be because we've seen his introspective side and we know that he cares deeply and is loyal to his friends. Sure, Julian has his share of faults, as does every good character, but that adds to the appeal; in spite of those faults you can see greatness in that particular character and want to see them grow into it.
Maybe some of you don't agree with me. That's fine. However, I know Hellion's a good character and hope he continues to have a future with the X-books.
Nice post. You've articulated the attraction in flawed and superficially unlikeable characters. You need folk like this to tell a story. For what it's worth, the reasons you've given are also the reasons I like Ink, another unfairly maligned character.

Could be, Because It not like there going to bring Omega back other than to battle the Sentry a min & then killed.

I love the last pic of Hellion, it's refreshing to see a psi with green/emerald energies.
I don't know that much about Hellion; I know that he's rich and that he manifest his teke through his hands. If compared to a teke like Betsy, would you say that the mastery that he has of his teke is higher or lower (than Betsy)?

It's like afternoon/evening here.. But right back at you Giles.
Lower that Betsy will it come to mastery/control, but he make more powerful than her when it come to raw power. It would be great idf she come help/show how to control it better. Also he's not rich anymore his parents disown, abandon him & took him out the will for being a X-men & for not hiding his mutant powers.

That would be a cool/great story to read. That they are they even moved with out telling him lol. So he has no idea where they are & it was implied that he & his older brother don't get along so he'd more than likely turn away to.

What i like about Hellion is that he's somewhat a morally gray character, he can be a great hero or villain and its interesting to see where the writers are willing to take him. Though as much as i love seeing him and Laura together they need to stop having him get hurt/captured and then Laura going bat shit insane of the bad guy. It gets stale kinda fast.

Concerning his actions in Utopia.
His main flaw is that he is young. He is young and he has been trained to lead. So he will do what he knows how to do: Lead.
However; because of the fact that he is young, he doesn't see the whole picture. And he acts upon his limited knowledge of the situation, and because he is a leader, his peers. (Even though some are older and should be wiser than him) will follow.
He does what he thinks should be done.
But his ignorance and arrogance makes his actions void.

I like this critique. With some time under a real leader, somebody to observe, he has a lot of potential. But right now, he's too brash and arrogant to take it as a responsibility. He acts on his personal views, and doesn't question if his opinion of what should be done is in the best interests of anyone else.

Unfortunately all his leader/adult role models have kinda back stabbed him at one point or another so it would be hard to see him follow a real leader.
On that note i do agree that the J-Man needs a role model that wont back stab him, the kid has so much potential and raw power its a shame to see him waste his potential doing the shit he's been doing. But i guess that just part of growing up or he just needs to get laid.:cool:

I wouldn't go as far as to say he's doing it out of selfish motivation.
But other than that Exactly, he knows how to lead, but part of leading is learning to let people (like Scott) be in control of the situation. Scott has failed his students in that part of their training.

I don't think its 100% selfish, but that is certainly the key aspect.
Hellion's always had to fight between doing the right thing and feeding his ego, and there are plenty of areas where the two intersect. His leadership abilities are part of that, its something he takes pride in... which is why Emma took it away from him. It was a punishment.

I think Emma's punishment was more "I'm in control and don't you forget it". She gave the leadership role to Surge after Julian refused to knock x-23 out of the epic danger room battle. It was my perspective that she was just asserting her authority more than anything else.
Hakael
07-13-2009, 11:02 PM
I considered it more of a humiliation, that it was obvious to everyone that Julian was essentially getting demoted. Emma later said it was because she trusted Surge to protect the kids, even from her... suggesting that Hellion probably wouldn't have disobeyed much had he and Emma remained close. But I still say that was a cop out, and part of Emma breaking under the circumstances. Her strained relationship with Julian and Cessily (and to a lesser degree Sooraya and Santo) is something I'd love to see at least addressed more often, especially now given the two being at odds.

But in all seriousness putting Surge in charge was just a bitch slap/ punishment to Julian, yet she can get away with it under the idea: "a true leader knows when to follow".

That's exactly what I said in different words. Humiliation is an effective way to assert authority. Not the best way... but certainly effective.
Emma later said it was because she trusted Surge to protect the kids, even from her... suggesting that Hellion probably wouldn't have disobeyed much had he and Emma remained close. But I still say that was a cop out, and part of Emma breaking under the circumstances.
That happened after Surge made the exact same mistake Julian just made. Taking the leadership role and making a decision based on a limited amount of information. I interpreted it as Emma offering an encouragement after a failure which nearly cost some of the kids (including Julian's) lives.
Her strained relationship with Julian and Cessily (and to a lesser degree Sooraya and Santo) is something I'd love to see at least addressed more often, especially now given the two being at odds.
That'd be something to send to Mike Carey to have him explore in Legacy, now that the X-kiddies are working with Rogue now.

So either something changes with Hellion and his views on killing people, or he doesn't join up...

The outfit has cultural significance beyond Quentin and his gang in the mutant community. It is how mutants were first depicted in early propaganda posters in the Marvel U. & It's actually from an old Daily Bugle cover. Quentin uses it as a template in New X-Men #134.

So we(the fans) must assume that Hellion got/read the same article off the net or etc. It couldn't have bee that hard to do, I mean Rikki Barnes figure out Patriot identify by using that internet lol. So it couldn't been that hard mind a article relating to mutants history.

From the Monda Marvel Panel: A fan asked if there are any plans for Hellion, the New X-Man who had been "sidelined" since that series' end. "Come to the X-Men panel; the people writing him will be there," McCann said. Fraction referred to Hellion's recent appearance in the Quentin Quire mutant fascist costume in "Uncanny," starting a riot. "He's kind of important right now."

Of course he doesn't have the same level of TK that Nate has but he's young and has a lot of raw untapped potential. Ether him or Besty would be a good teacher. But i go for Nate because Julian needs a bit of an attitude adjustment.

I don't see it being retconned, it'll probably just be chalked up to him training off panel. They even explained it as his powers adjusting at a higher level than he was previously used to, so... he just needs to get used to it. Its not something that's going to plague him for the rest of his life.

I hope we'll see some onscreen training if only for telekinetic explosions with paperclips at the epicenter. Come to think of it... it's a good thing Julian isn't charged for property damage at the X-mansion, but then I guess it just gets lost amongst all the destruction going on there.

Betsy isn't on the same plane with Nate. If she wasn't CC's love child I would say she wasn't on the same playing field with Julian either. Claremont gave her a big boost after resurrecting her, so she's certainly now well above Hellion's power level... rivaling Rachel and Exodus. But this is Betsy we're talking about... her powers will change again by the time I finish typing this...

NO No Power up or Secondry mutation Crap for Hellion, out of all the New Xmen his powers are the best and most well rounded of them all (Although he seems to have a problem using them as defense)
Elixir should grant himself a Power up first, His powers are the weakest overall in battle.

The guy can give you cancer; AIDS or whatever disease he can think of and manipulate other peoples bodies. That's a legit battle power...though most of the time he is just used as a healbot.
And it seems like most people are anti pwer up or secondary power to Hellion.

Yes he can and a hell of a lot more Stroke, creation of toxins and disease, Organ Failure, Cellur breakdown on that level, Body damage replicating Cuts or Bullt wounds, Basically with one touch for a split second should equal instant death problem is he can't use his powers like that, Because it would make Battle's incredibly boring.
Just look at Messiah War against Stryfe he had hold of him for a few seconds which Stryfe survived and when Stryfe got him off there was no lasting damage to Strfye. Dam they don't even use him as a Healbot most of the time.
So while Elixir has had a huge power up for Plot purposes he can't use it, What i'm saying is Elixir is special with his abilities he could have other powerups just by using his own Biological manipulation on himself, powerups that are less Instant KO that can be used in battle without him becoming overpowered.
And it seems like most people are anti pwer up or secondary power to Hellion.
His power set is the only thing perfect about him

Yeah but stryfe is part of the summers-grey clan and we all know their kids and clones of their kids are OP so Exliers powers failed to penetrate his plot shield
He also probably used his power to make his unit bigger lol

No one's perfect; and his power is yet to be perfected.

Did you read my mind?? I want that too, and was wondering the same exact thing. Maybe the Stepford CousCous will be back in buisness.
I honestly think that'll be the case. X-Force will wonder why Laura hasn't checked in, Julian and Surge will start asking questions... they might even get some answers before they're mindwiped too... but I don't see Scott letting those two run around with info about his death squad (despite the fact that I think they'd both be OK with people like Wolverine killing Purifiers at this point).

I've pretty much resigned myself that he won't be in X-Force as a member, as much as I'd love to see Kyle and Yost take him on long term. I'm hoping Carey gives him something to do in Legacy.

Yeah i come to term that he wont being force choking mutant haters to death too.
Now i know i've said this earlier; but im curious to see how carey uses him. I'd personally like to see him on a team with Rogue in charge but i'd also go for the solo loner thing or possibly leading his rag tag rioters on more mutant power shenanigans.
Personally i'd like for him to get a mini, but what are the odds of that happening. Heck we'd get a X-23 & Hellion Mini before we get a Hellion mini

Well it seems that Julian didnt die in Surge's explosion. Not that any of us were worried.

Julian is waaaaay to awesome to die in some explosion. I like the bad boy persona, but we know that he has good intentions all the time (like when mercury was kidnapped and he helped Laura). I wonder if Legacy will revisit that side of Julian. I kinda thought he moved away from the whole "loud and obnoxious" Hellion. Perhaps the X-men did more damage to him when they left him than he let on.

Julian i think is starting to have abandonment issues. First his parents disown him, Sophia leaves him and then Scott and Emma leave him out to dry, Magneto dosent want him....and so on.
I think all this "abandonment" is bringing out the "loud and obnoxious " part of Hellion. That and all the "wise" choices he's made.

I agree with you on this, I just wish we could actually see more of this.....I wanna know why he's dressing like a member of the Omega gang, why he hasn't been shown to be hanging out with Santo or Cess anymore...why he still has that emo looking haircut lol

The outfit has cultural significance beyond Quentin and his gang in the mutant community. It is how mutants were first depicted in early propaganda posters in the Marvel U. & It's actually from an old Daily Bugle cover. Quentin uses it as a template in New X-Men #134.
http://www.comicvine.com/hellion/29-...ire/92-399031/
So we(the fans) must assume that Hellion got/read the same article off the net or etc. It couldn't have bee that hard to do, I mean Rikki Barnes figured out Patriot identify by using that internet lol. So it couldn't been that hard mind a article relating to mutants history.

you've referenced this a few times, but Julian isn't a huge nerd like Quire... I don't see why he would really care for the reference.

I'm sure he knows some mutant history (you don't have to be a nerd to know you & your people history & etc). I think he would care because he's proud to be a mutant & that outfit is a symbol of mutant history/mutant protest. An he was leading a group of protesters in Utopia.

Yeah but Julian just isn't that deep, so it kinda seems random for him. Julian Keller is brash arrogant, has some leadership qualities, is at times can be REALLY shallow but ultimately has a good heart.
If he character had a bit of growth and maturity that's fine, but I'd like to see it instead of it being used as an excuse for putting him in those clothes.

well there was a debate on whether that was Hellion or not i perosnally thought is was Sunspot; and since Hellions gunna be in Leagcy i doubt he gets depowered.

Yeah I hope so. Even if it is Hellion, or actually whoever it is, I hope the writers screw up with the continuity and this goes ignored and they proceed like it didn't happen.

I doubt it; Utopia on paper was a cool concept and at the beginning it was cool but then it started to drag. Plus Utopia leads into the Nation X story line as well as the return of Magneto.

If that is Hellion in the Omega machine, it doesn't depower mutants. It temporarily drains them. Nobody has said how long its supposed to last or what the ramifications of its use are, but it doesn't sound long term.
