Character Role Analysis

Colossus and Deadpool

Colossus is the opposite of Deadpool, which is to say he's an honorable straight arrow. He thinks Deadpool's over-the-top violence is an abuse of his super powers, and when Deadpool refuses to spare Ajax's life and instead shoots him in the head, Colossus straight-up barfs. In their different approaches to being mutants, Colossus and Deadpool highlight each other's essential attributes. Colossus' benevolence as a super-powered person makes Deadpool's questionable morals even more dubious.
