History

After Oskana's death, her father, the Skinner of Souls, unleashes his mutant powers upon the Russian town of Neftelensk. He fights the X-Men and judges Colossus for even thinking that Illyana's life should be sacrificed. Losing his mind, the Skinner of Souls sees his daughter in a vision. Oskana accuses him of hypocrisy, as he had simply watched her die. This vision of his daughter convinces the Skinner of Souls to stop inflicting pain and judgement on others.
