Fan Casting Senator Robert Kelly in Children of the Atom

[Val] - But tell me Kelly, what do you think of this 'priority'? - Well my dear, for me it's all in the same package, but there is a big difference between dealing with an eccentric playboy who flies around in armor, and someone who can start doing anything anywhere. - Mutants are people too, Kelly. This doesn't change anything. - Do you know who should think that way too, Val? The Neanderthals. And we saw at school how this ends. Working alongside Cooper, Kelly is a senator who sees the mutant plight as something in need of government responses. Despite his ideological clashes, Kelly still shows signs of humanity - he shows preference against lethal response in mutants, for example.
