   I’m no expert and I only been reading this since issue 16 but I figured that it’s called the LIFE seed and it has some mysterious life creating powers so…idk that was my interpretation anyway

   “Oh yeah, and where did he even come from? Did I miss something in an earlier issue? ”

   I’d say you missed quite a few issues.

     Ok, I just went back an quickly browsed through all the way back to issue 10 and Genesis, as nothing more than a random mention with no real explanation, was shown in about 3 or 4 panles. You cannot tell me that it made complete sense to you right off of the bat when he came bursting out of his test tube and attempted to kill Archangel. If there was something else shown of him prior to issue 10, then I that is a serious flaw in Remender’s writing and I should not have to remember a detail from that long ago that so drastically impacted he X-Force storyline of the present.

     I could just be a total idiot and forgot an obvious detail before or since, so please be kind if I am wrong, since I do deserve it.

     The mystery of Genesis was seeded in the second arc of the series, issues 5-7 I believe. Fantomex was creating something Apocalypse-related in his secret room, and this turned out to be Genesis. I had been waiting for the resolution of this thread ever since I saw it.

     So, it’s not a flaw in Remender’s writing. Everything in the first 18 issues of this series is all very much one big storyline. Besides Genesis, major ideas even from the first four-issue story-arc come back into play in the closing issues of the Dark Angel storyline. It’s all connected, and it’s supposed to be, and most fans of the series understand this and like this cohesiveness.

     You “should not have to remember a detail from that long ago”? Well, you don’t “have” to remember it. You don’t have to do much of anything. But, generally, good storylines will reward readers with long attention spans. That’s just how things work.

     Ok. Got it. Thanks for the reminder. Totally forgot about that. Took a look at issues 5-7. Pulling foot out of mouth…
