STEALING THIS MEME FROM FOLEY LIKE A BOSS.
SO PEOPLE MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT JULIAN HAS A BIT OF A TRUST ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO ADULTS, ROBOTS AND ... LOOK THERE'S A LOT. I have more scans than this but I honestly got bored and Legacy has really awful art (worse than X-Force, which as you will see is saying something) and the art for NXM can be terribly variable so I couldn't be bothered.
First up, a bunch of kids lose their powers, so they get put on a bus and then some anti-mutant extremeists blow it up because that is how they roll. The current cast of younger mutants get to watch in helpless horror as their efforts to rescue their friends are doomed to failure as they all die. Anyway, those Sentinels that stand guard, are they helping?
Well, at least they were horrified! That's something, right?
...yeah, no, that didn't last long. Sentinel pilots give no fucks about dead teenagers if they have an x-gene.
So normal humans don't care about teenaged mutants. What about the teachers? Surely teaching staff would be invested in their welfare and wouldn't disengage from the students for fear of them dying...
This naturally wouldn't cause any issues, like causing the younger mutants to become terribly codependent on one another with abandonment issues a mile wide. And then that wouldn't cause any issues when one of the younger mutants is separated from the others after he gets impaled and ends up in a coma, right?
Yep. Nothing wrong here. I'm skipping over the stuff with the Dark X-Men and how Julian gets the snot kicked out of him in prison and strapped into a torture device on a daily basis because I'm lazy and his hair is worse than normal in it. It is really bad, okay.
Anyway, surely this is just one staff member. The other school principal, the upright Scott Summers, would be interested in the welfare of his students, right?
Yep, he sure let them get injected with a virus that was going to kill them horrifically without caring. (Also, poor Josh ;;) BUT LOOK, WOLVERINE CARES. SEE. MAYBE HE'LL BE THE ONE TO SHOW AN INTEREST.
...well, at least he tried.
And that is why Julian doesn't trust anyone, least of all your character. I skipped over the stuff in Legacy because the art is even worse than what is up here and his hair is hideous.
