- Rogue doesn't have the stomach for Extinction Team. Monet has proven she does.
- I wanted Cypher for tech but while I like Doug's 'body language'-reading physical application of his potentially omniscient power set, many hate it and even with it he hasn't yet been shown to be consistently physically capable enough to handle that level of engagement. Sage can.
- Rachel is going out there as "Phoenix," period, and wearing a Phoenix costume while doing it. That sends a message.
- I worship Ororo but she didn't have a blast the last time she did this kind of work. I would need to see more of the current Ororo to be sure she's down for that kind of dark again.
- Selene can't be trusted with a pet rock.
