Beast and Wonder Man will join in issue 28 not 26
ţh€ €жţяą-๏яďɨɲąя¥ Tycon:
I think that this tweet means that Human Torch will be with themUhmmmmmm Wanda and Pietro ARE mutants (and Beast is joining too, fresh from ruling over a kingdom of mutants). And if Johnny leaves because of Marvel Two-In-One, then they could really use someone like Gambit. I mean, he has rapport with QS, Rogue, Doc Voodoo, and Beast.

Remender's Uncanny Avengers occasionally seemed to suggest that he was interested in dealing with that. Wanda talked about not wanting to be used as a madman's weapon again, Rogue was afraid of her because she thought she was going to get taken over again, and it kept teasing the story point that the Red Skull wanted to use her power for some nefarious end.
This explains why Remender seemed to accept the idea that M-Day was somehow part of Doom's plan; it doesn't make a lot of sense story-wise, but thematically it fits in with the fact that Wanda always seems to get used by supervillains as some kind of conduit to supreme power: Byrne's West Coast Avengers had her used by Immortus, the very first arc of Busiek's Avengers had Morgan Le Fay kidnap Wanda and use her to take over the world, and of course there's the original Chthon story which revealed the demon had been planning to use her as his vessel from the moment she was born.
But like a lot of the themes in Remender's UA, it got talked about but not really dealt with. (There were so many things in teased in that run that just never got addressed; we never even actually got to see the Unity Squad do anything about human-mutant relations, ever.) I wouldn't mind seeing a writer try and actually dig into this, but the way writers and editors treat Wanda I'm afraid it'll just be a rehash of the old clichés about the character. I'm open-minded enough to give Zub a chance to surprise me though.
Thank the Goddesses, she's back. Of course, Rogue will start chiming in, ruining the issue, blaming Wanda for actions that weren't her fault.

Wanda and Pietro's retcon is going to last. The writers aren't going to change it back. Magneto will just ignore them from now on.
Rogue has been in this title long enough and should go back to the X-Men. I would like to see Nightcrawler replace her, or have Havok be uninverted and rejoin.
Rogue is the best thing about UA.
Hey Jen how you been, been way to long since we talked last!!!
Doing this from my IPHONE so I am limited in my typing right now.
Indeed this has been Rogues team since vol 3 came out and I don't want to see her go at all and stay leader, Period!
I am just glad to see Wanda back to and hope when the new makeup of the team is formed she is a staying memeber, also it be nice to see Alex come back and finish his run too sometime down the line.

Sadly yeah it's honestly the worst part about this board is the Wanda haters, I will say though it's a relief in a way that it isn't as bad on this thread as it is on others or has been in the past.
Fortunately I'm one of the few fans who actually likes both Wanda and Anna.
