He didn’t die, he killer himself because he was chemically castrated by the same people he helped save (the British). Absolutely heart breaking

[Miniburn_]

This is the greatest example of why homophobia destroy society cast sometimes the most important or respected members as villains that they aren't and destroys the progress of humanity

Nice. Now they can remember for even longer time about that unfortunate time when they castrated a warhero.

Use the machine, throw away the inventor
