that's the thing: most Old West "heroes" were just killers, what sealed the deal for Cassidy however is that his "friendship" with Jones has been heavily disputed by Jones himself.. implying that Cassidy never really had any real heroic traits, even by the standards of Old West.. also the whole massacring of an entire town based solely on racial hatred was fairly unique (since Marvel didn't really treat their Old West stories very serious until that point).
