Summary
In Episode 53 of CEREBRO, Connor and Marvel writer Terry Blas (Reptil) stretch themselves with Angelo Espinosa, the cynical Skin! A regular cast member in the 90s title Generation X, moody Los Angeles teen Angelo fled the world of street crime to become one of the students at the Massachusetts Academy. The least-developed of the core Gen X team, he was unceremoniously killed off after that book's cancellation in the Chuck Austen run on Uncanny X-Men, and has only returned recently in the Age of Krakoa.
The CEREBRO character file on Skin begins at 43:07.
(Content Advisory: Skin's story includes body dysmorphia and racism.)

| 0:49.2 | Reptile, I like a rolled R. I like a rolled R. Reptile, which was a mini-series recently about the popular Avengers Academy character who hadn't been used in a while. So it was nice to see him come back. I think he like maybe died in Avengers Arena, but it wasn't clear, right? Was that what happened? Well, no. But everybody was like, didn't he die?
