I was finally able to read this issue and like other people here I'm not going to keep reading this book. I despise the the Hellfire brats with a burning passion and I refuse to read a book with them in it. What a way to ruin a solid book Duggan..

Right. At least from where she was during the run before Hickman's.
Maybe this will be adressed by the writer next issue but I somehow doubt it.
I see. I'm not sure I'm eager to see her walk down that path personally though. The last few years have been a string of questionable décisions made by her, no need to see her fall all the way down so to speak imo.
She never struck me as the gruesome/reckless type whenever she was fighting opponents but maybe I missed iterations where she inflicted the same kind of wounds to her opponents.
I joined Team Colossus at the end of that run for a Reason, but all in all, I thought she made for a very dependable, mature X-leader during it and that was really nice to see for me. To me, it was growth at least in that department.
I get what you are saying and I would be fine with her acting that way/deciding to act that way if she wasn't so brutal/heavy-handed while doing it. She's veering into Punisher-territory level of violence.

yeah. that's how i know to hate it.
it's a secret society. and you're kind of missing the point. entry to the club is based on wealth/political connections. entry to the lords cardinal is based on something greater. how did little kids get into a club that serves alcohol and find out about the secret society?
that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard. if anyone was going to fill the void, it would be more established members of the club. mutants were never essential to the inner circle. where was Blackheart, Mountjoy, Benedict Kine, and all of the others who have made plays for the club?
it's what separates X-Men from a book about Casper the Friendly ghost. there are accepted comic book tropes. little kid Inner Circle isn't one of them.
i have the issue. i feel as if people are misunderstanding. if the only genius is Frankenstein's descendant, how did Kade plan his father's death? have any of you interacted with children before?
for the love of god, please consider the amount of practice it would take to replicate what Victor Frankenstein did. i could totally buy a teenager who has been instructed since adolescence pulling that off. but, coincidentally, there are 4 children with this capability who all know one another. one has an alien pet (i think it was an alien). they have access to all of this exotic technology and resources. no one working for them has thought to just wring their necks and make a powerplay. Shinobi was likely out of college when he made his play to usurp his father's kingship. from my perspective, i'm not being unreasonable. i know these books are fantasy based. i just don't want to be treated like an idiot. why children and not, say, a hamster inner circle? makes just as much sense. all you have to do is write some stupid flashback to the hamsters gaining sentience and hanging out at the Club while plotting their takeover. at some point someone needs to raise their hand and ask if it's a good idea.
isn't this the same universe where a three year old was the smartest person in the universe, capable of manipulating both doctor doom and mister fantastic
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
Kate's brutality so far has been either played for laughs or as a badass power display, I guess kind of both at the same time really. You just have to get in with the tone of the book, instead of trying to rationalize the seriousness of ~evil sadistic kate~. If you can't do that, I think this book is just not for you.
