His debut story, the one w/Colossus in Russia, the Cable/Acolytes arc, and that's about it. Just occasional generic thuggery since then, I think.

Well said. <br /><br />The whole Omega Red/Team X story came out just as I was first getting into comics, so I always felt a certain connection to Omega Red back in the day because he felt like one of "my" villains instead of the classic ones that had been around forever. <br /><br />Agreed as well that divorced from the hints at Wolverne's past, there's not a whole lot to him. Dusting him off to occasionally serve as a generic heavy (like in the <i>X-Men</i> (vol. 2) story this episode is referencing) is fine, but centering a story around him (as in this episode) doesn't quite work.
