User blog comment:Corvus Corvidae/The Unstoppable Colossus...Where's this going?/@comment-61022-20120120184000/@comment-4755902-20120120190835

I'm familiar with all of those storylines that you recounted, but I still feel the character gets short shrift, especially compared with the Wolverines and Storms of the world. I always appreciated that he was a quieter, gentler character. I have found, however, that that leads to him often taking a back seat in the narrative. You'll rarely go through an issue of the X-Men featuring Wolverine, Storm or Emma Frost where they say next to nothing. That is often the case with Colossus, and while that may be reflective of the character's personality, it happens too often for my taste.

Of course the same can be said for Nightcrawler (who didn't have even as many featured stories as Colossus) or Iceman, who will hopefully get featured a lot more often now that Jason Aaron has him on Wolverine & the X-Men.

But don't mind me. I will admit to having a chip on my shoulder about my favorite characters being underused, or at least not featured as heavily as I like. I acknowledge that may be a petulant viewpoint.

But don't get me started on Beast or Doctor Strange...
