No, nothing to do with the helmet, after she goes into his mind, she says “his mind... somethings wrong!” Is such an odd thing to say.
Any other telepath would have just said, “oh, it’s Joseph”.
Plus, what was the problem with using her power on Pyro, Avalanche or Toad? One scan of them would have sorted the situation out.
I'm inclined to think it's because she's some sort of Kwannon-residue with very little memory, rather than whole-Revanche. Wolverine's assuming it's Kwannon because of the (not entirely unreasonable) assumption that "if it looks like Japanese-Betsy, but it can't be, it's probably Kwannon".
Well, if she's not, why use her (unless she's going to be cannon fodder...)? Hell, why (re)create her rather than just letting Japanese-Psylocke-body die? (It was *meant* to be dead when they found her after her soul had been eaten, after all)
Good action scenes but the story itself is horrible and full of holes. The fact that they put so many elements without going deeper makes everything meaningless.
On one hand they admit that the mutant race is finished and the X-men with them and on the other continue to defend Xavier's dream and that there is still hope for the mutant species. They deliver some mutants to authorities and let others (some villains) join them with the excuse that all sins are forgiven.
They are attacking mutants that are literally fighting for mutants even if it is by violent means that does not change the fact that humans are literally exterminating mutants and the X-men are doing nothing but punishing any mutant that want to fight back .
This is so stupid more than ever this shows that they are just killing time until Age of X-man ends and the next event starts.
Ok, even the worst of Uncanny has been better than Gold but that does not mean it was good.
I felt a bad headache with this chapter. Ranhe's death was put in the chapter in an embarrassing way , pity this could have been an opportunity to glorify the character (although I never liked it). His death is very symbolic, even if the absence of the representation of the act does not help to understand the importance of this , the x men are soldiers, who have always fought a battle that does not seem to end, Ranhe wished to live a life considered normal but died in the attempt. The x-men who are symbols of child soldiers (Karma speaks of mutants as soldiers in this chapter) will never have the chance to enjoy life and live a period of peace fully ... they will always remember that pain of fighting a war that has never been started by them or wanted to be fought, and Ranhe symbolizes the impossibility of forgetting and leaving this lifestyle sincerely.
Let your wallet talk.
Never forget, Cyke fans~ https://twitter.com/i/status/1246248602768486402
Jean had more presence in death than Cyke in Hickman's entire run.
Hickman succeeded where 2010s Marvel didn't: make the X-Men villainous and irrelevant.
Hilariously, the X-Men have now fully embraced mutant supremacy and racism against humans.

I have liked the previous issue but sadly this was definetely a weak one. Hopeful the next ones are better (i mean the others weren't that bad) so i won't give up on the book yet.
Another great issue, way more entertaining than all of Age of X-Man combined so far
