Colossus on the brotherhood? I don't think so. There's no way he's going to follow Magneto. Especially after the RotK arc. He knows Magneto's a lunatic and would never join his team. I don't think he'll leave at all. First off, he left the team once already and was convinced to come back. Second, the fact that he's at odds with Xavier makes it interesting. And if he's not on the team how do you expect them to feature his sexuality and explore it like everyone wants?
Well the thing is, Peter thinks that Xavier is a lunatic too, and it could go down to which Lunatic is going to let him reach his potential. Xavier won't let him explore his dark side, and with his work in the Russian Mafia, Peter probably has killed before, and possibly without having a real problem with it. Magneto's idyllic world can make sense to a man who's having trouble with his team mates, and I wouldnt put it past him to quit.
As for the sexuality bit, when Magneto's at large, we see a lot of whats going on with his Brotherhood, this could be explored there. At the same time, I think that if anything is going to push him over the top to leave the mansion, its going to be coming out... or rather, being outed. Not sure how that'd happen, but I gaurentee that Nightcrawler's going to be an *** about it. Possibly Iceman too... he's never been too tolerant of anybody, really, and if he finds out one of his best friends has had this big secret from him for a long time... He might not be too happy. It happens in life, why not in comics?
And in the end, he'd be coerced back to Xavier, since it would be that or imprisonment. Magneto's message would probably stick with him, and his sexuality and his anger would separate him from the rest of the team and make him very difficult to work with...
Maybe someone should start a poll.... Colossus Quits and Joins Hellions, Colossus Quits and Joins Magneto, Colossus Quits and Joins the Ultimates, Colossus Quits and goes home, Colossus stays at the X-Mansion. (i would but i dont think i have time for another long post... im at school :-()
