(he was upset that his brother and sister had both recently died, and was an emotional wreck. anybody who claims this was a "stupid death" is just letting their love of colossus blind them to good storytelling) Now, we know that Colossus is dead, and we actually have a body.But the cremation? Again... did you see it happen? Do you think the X-Men have a crematorium in their basement?  Beast probably had to call one of his doctor associates to arrange a cremation. Maybe Dr. Kavita Ro (the doctor who invented this "cure" for mutants) She in turn takes the body and experiments with it, giving the X-Men a pile of ash belonging to someone else.She's had years to study the body, find a "cure" for the mutant gene AND have her experiments basically remove the death side-effect of the legacy virus cure. Its simple, it fits, it doesnt violate anything we've seen on panel, and would still change peters sacrificial suicide into a noble sacrifice/attempted suicide.To answer some other questions: Kitty hasn't been completely MIA since she left the X-books after Piotr died. She showed up in the middle of X-Treme X-Men and also had her own mini-series MekaniX. She was going to college and living with former NewMutant Karma.Then she came back to X-Treme X-Men for the God Loves, Man Kills 2 storyline (not as good as the original) So the X-Treme X-Men team definately knew how to get in touch with her, and Karma had come to teach at the school in NewMutants v2 (now known as New X-Men, Academy X although the NEW students have taken more of the spotlight from the old ones) so the X-people at the school would also easily be able to contact Kitty. Throw in everything thats happened recently (Fake Magneto destroying Manhattan, the school blowing up, etc) and Kitty finally decided to return home.</blockquote>
