On top of all of that I just genuinely like the character, stern, strong minded, willful and a person that sets his own agenda. I also loved the relationship that he has with his sister Aurora and the story lines that explore their connection and past. His powers, although not god-like, are a great asset to any team!
I love seeing him more now that he's part of the X-Men although I feel the writers of the X-Titles have made him a shell of his once multifaceted personality... he's way too token these days.
Plus, his costume is the bomb!
