A Tragic Legacy: Colossus’ Villainous Turn and the Emergence of His Son

The narrative crafted by Jonathan Hickman in Wolverine: Revenge has consistently surprised fans. The previous storyline was set against a backdrop of chaos following a global blackout, during which Colossus joined forces with a new faction known as the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. This group hoarded one of the planet’s scarce energy resources and was responsible for the deaths of Captain America and the Winter Soldier, inciting Wolverine’s quest for retribution. Now, two decades later—after Wolverine has fulfilled his quest for revenge—he learns the hard truth: the echoes of his violent past still resonate in the present through Colossus’ son.

As readers delve deeper into this latest saga, the identity of Colossus’ son’s mother remains a pressing mystery. Speculation abounds—could she be a known character such as Kitty Pryde? Though, if she were significant enough, one would expect her involvement to have been established earlier in the narrative. This raises the possibilities: either there is further intrigue to unfold regarding her identity, or her role simply isn’t pivotal to the overarching plot. With the series concluding soon, resolution is around the corner.

The appearance of Colossus’ son highlights a fundamental theme in revenge narratives—the often cyclical nature of violence. The actions of Colossus set off a chain reaction, catalyzing Wolverine’s retaliatory quest, which has now spiraled into the vendetta of Colossus’ son. As illustrated in many timeless revenge tales, violence typically paves the way for further turmoil rather than resolution. The upcoming confrontation between Wolverine and this new incarnation of Colossus may offer a moment to break this damaging cycle, but without intervention, the X-Men legacy in this dystopian world risks becoming one defined by endless conflict.
