The Bowler: So you're a British man who converted to Islam, sort of like Cat Stevens?

But what I do like about this is this was the height of the Cold War. Russia was our enemy, and yet Len Wein could say, look, this guy might have completely different politics, cause he's a communist through and through, that's what Piotr Rasputin knows, he's grown up in this system, he believes in communism. And yet, he's every bit the hero that any of the other X-Men are. He rushes into danger, he cares about his sister, he cares about the opinions of his mother and father, when he's extended an offer by Professor X to leave and help the world, he's like, "What do you think?" and they're like, "You know what? Just trust your conscience," and Piotr decides he needs to help the world. I just thought that was very encouraging and progressive, that in that time and place Len Wein could still say you can have different politics and be the polar opposite politically, but you can still be a hero, you can still have good character inside, and I like that, I like how he built these characters with interesting backgrounds.
