Spurrier essentialy seems to have taken what she could do in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and just rolled with it.
However it's a bit questionable how in canon this portrayal of her powers is, since the events of the series as a whole have not been referenced or mentioned again and might easily be considered "self contained".
The fact that she is allowed on Krakoa as mutant would actualy mean she got her X-gene back, which wasn't the case in X-force since there she was essentialy a mutate, with the morituri process just filling the empty space her missing x-gene left (mentioned by one of scientist in a flashback scene).
Actualy it seems each of her reapperances comes with some unanswered questions.
Like what happend to her in the 6-month gap of Claremont's "Revolution"? Why was she only invited to Krakoa with Apocalypse and co. when previously she was part of Magneto's Brotherhood and Emma Frost's Hellfire Club respectively? Where was Emma's fashion sense when she put her in that Hellfire Club outfit, rather than a stylish suit with sleeveless vest? To name a few (the last is meant in jest).
However getting back to her powers.
The idea of her "bones" possibly not being really that, which i described as "bio-synthetic compound", is actualy based on her first "upgrade" she got during her brief time as X-men. While it seems to have been more designed to make her prettier to draw, rather than make her a better fighter, it did made her growths display traits not really fitting just bones anymore (including visualy).
For example having her whole hands covered in what looks like clawed bone gloves, yet being able to bend her fingers without problem or visible joints. Which again seems to indicate a combination of soft and hardness not fitting bone or even metal, but something unique to what her powers produce.
It's also why i had to think of Eijiro and Tetutetsu from MHA. Since they too can still move (with a certain stiffness) naturaly despite their bodies hardening to metalic or crystaline states.
Hence considering the next visual evolution of her powers to go beyond just shaping hardended growths, since that's still what she did even in X-force and actualy making them malleable to both degrees.
Or at least making that possibility for her powers official.
