it was real and very charming... at least if you like the more laid-back "teens hanging out" aspects of Claremont's new mutants. Jo Duffy had bigger plans for the title that didn't materialize, so it ended up being kind of a curio. maybe most important for giving Multiple Man several of his ongoing concepts/issues with regard to the dupes having individual lives/experiences. (PAD would then re-do all this in X-Factor without acknowledging the source material.)one of the new characters, Ariel the teleporter, made minor appearances in the late 2000s san francisco period. the other ones - Gomi and his lobsters, and the power-altering Chance, were never seen again AFAIK. i assume that either claremont or marc silvestri liked the idea of a streetwise, asian-american teen hero, and cooked up Jubilee on the premise that she should have combat-ready powers, or something. i guess we should be grateful Liefeld never saw fit to introduce pouch-laden, rifle-toting lobsters when he brought Siryn in for X-Force.

Marvel has been evoking Fallen Angels in the run-up to Hickman so I wouldn't be surprised if some long-lost characters made a return (plus, yeah, the upcoming Fallen Angels title).

yeah i always found that colossus scene really harrowing. a rare case where it was so clearly a break from the character's established nature/code that it felt like an intentionally traumatic breaking point, and at least in that one issue, not like a gratuitous "grim n gritty" turn as it would for similar developments in the early 90s (see green lantern mention above). unfortunately this was followed by a sort of drifty period for the title, with colossus recovering from injuries off-camera for a year, then showing up just in time to die in dallas and be reborn in australia. iirc it never *really* felt like it got followed up on.... one of many casualties of claremont's late-80s storytelling and the growing x-stable.

(and yeah colossus had already killed proteus a hundred issues back but idk this just seemed so intense!)
