Owner's Description

"The Dead Have No Rights” Husk, Jubilee and Archangel are paying their last respects to Skin at a graveyard in Los Angeles when Jubilee reveals she feels bad because she denied Skin. Husk tries to cheer her up after Warren leaves to go on some personal business. Two workers arrive at the graveyard to dig Skin up because he is a mutant, which goes against the religiously backed grounds of the cemetery. At a children’s hospital, Warren offers to use his abilities to heal all the children he can, hoping also to learn the limitations of his new healing power, after a test, the senior doctor allows him to. While Jubilee goes to talk to the cemetery manager, who is having an argument with his wife over the phone, Husk gets into a fight with the workers, one of whom she accidentally outs as a mutant with the ability to transform his body into steel. As Husk and he battle, Jubilee and the manager return, Jeremy gets fired for being a mutant and the manager offers to cremate Skin for them. Later, he gives the X-Men the remains, and after they leave he gets a phone call from his wife, who reveals that their terminally ill daughter was healed by an Angel. <br /><br />Throughout the entire issue Skin is mistakenly referred to as “Angelo Torres”. His true name is, of course, “Espinoza.” <br /><br />It is probably safe to assume that a funeral for Skin was held B/T/S at the Xavier Institute, as it would be strange for just Husk, Jubilee and Archangel just to attend one, considering Chamber and the White Queen are both residing at the Institute at the moment, and while Synch is dead also, Monet, though she had the least to do with Skin, is in Paris and Banshee hasn’t been seen since the X-Corps debacle. <br /><br />Skin probably asked Jubilee out during the time they were in Los Angeles together, between Generation X #75 and Uncanny X-Men #403, as prior to that, they showed no romantic affection towards each other. <br /><br />Colossus was a longtime X-Man and member of Excalibur and the Acolytes who could transform his body into steel. He died when he released the cure for the Legacy Virus into the air by using his body to activate the cure, with the hope that it would redeem him for his sister Illyana dying of the virus. [Uncanny X-Men #390] <br /><br /><br />
