I just checked up.

Somewhere along the way, it gets established that part of his mutation led to him becoming a cat-person, but I don't know when that gets established (I just know it from Wikipedia/trading cards). <br /><br />To your point, Blam, it is odd that no mention of his cat-personess is made in this issue - even if it does get established why later in the series, seems like it would be a bigger question to answer first, before, say, the idea of Widget as his totem. <br /><br />(And, to be clear, I'm not faulting Nightcrawler for failing to ask about - for all Nightcrawler knows, Colin, like himself, was born a cat-person. It's only we, the audience, who know he wasn't a cat-person during the events he's citing in this issue).

I found it quite odd, however, for Colin’s story — which even includes mention of making Widget his “totem” — to leave out any explanation of how (or even reference to the fact that) <i>he became a cat-person</i>.<br /><br>Blamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342343767763035991noreply@blogger.com
