Brucha S. Meyers posted on one of the older USENET boards that Hodge's deal with Warren was "just your typical obsessive-love-hate-desire-rejection psychosis."
To what degree Hodge's rage was due Warren being a mutant or Warren no being gay for him, I don't know. Maybe Hodges hated mutants but secretly loved Warren, found out Warren was a mutant, and went insane from the cognitive dissonance. Like "the Fox and the Grapes," only the Fox thinks all Grapes are out to usurp humanity and must be destroyed.
