Episode 116: Victor Borkowski (feat. Jay Jurden)
In Episode 116 of CEREBRO, Connor and returning guest comedian Jay Jurden refuse to blend in with Victor Borkowski, the aggravating Anole! Created by Nunzio DeFillipis, Christina Weir, and Keron Grant, Victor is one of the more enduring characters from the Academy X generation. Devised for an 'issue story' about gay teen suicide that was ultimately nixed by Marvel editorial, in the decades since — like many in his age cohort — he has struggled to find a consistent role in the franchise. Things are looking up for the character, however, with his new gig as a regular cast member in NYX, written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly as part of the From the Ashes linewide relaunch. The CEREBRO character file on Anole begins at 46:33. (Content Advisory: Victor's story includes homophobia. This episode also discusses a storyline about suicide that was planned but never published.) You can support CEREBRO on Patreon!
