"Danielle... I intend to do something rash and violent." - Betsy Braddock
Krakoa, Arakko, and Otherworld forever!
Storm was like, "Bitch, I ain't hardly scared of y'all" as she casually sipped her DRANK!!!
I love it!!
Not every battle is fought with weapons that maim and kill, ending in bloodshed. And Victories and Losses can take many forms.
I was being quite flippant with my Storm vs Death example but...I do hope we see the various battles play out in a number of different ways as respective of the combatants involved.
But yes...King Death and his Queen, Storm: Goddess of Life -Puissant Rulers of Arakko

That cover of Death dipping Storm will forever make me hot lol!
Well, Mad Jim was strong enough to threaten the multiverse and he almost destroyed Otherworld in Die By the Sword. Saturnyne used to be just a normal human with maybe some mind control powers but the real source of her threat was that she was extremely intelligent and ruthless - both of those have stayed. Saturnyne is likely using the same energy that Merlyn once siphoned from the Lighthouse into the Starlight Citadel to enhance herself and her magic, except the thing is, that power was power on top of what Merlyn and Roma already had. It didn't make them super powerful, they were already that. So if anything, Saturnyne can be mentioned in the same conversation but I doubt she's on par with them.
This is a good point, Saturnyne might just be the one that all these powerful people tolerate to have in that position to avoid them killing each other precisely because she is less powerful than them and is able to be an arbiter except for cold war conflicts as you've mentioned.
After Betsy was rescued (See: New Mutants Annual #2) there was some romantic attraction between Doug and Betsy, but it didn't go anywhere since She was an adult and He was a teenager.
Ok I give up! At this point I think the twist is everyone is just gonna fight Saturnyne and no sword bearers from either side fight each other or die. The entire premise of this crossover is a lie! Part 14 of a story about sword fights and it’s a dinner party. There will be no fights in this event it’s all a trick!
"Absolute monarch of all she surveys. Her predecessor, Mandragon, obliterated an entire dimension - one whole universe - with the flick of a switch. Given sufficient cause, my friends... so will she." - Captain Britain from Excalibur #24, probably the preeminent issue before X of Swords that showed Saturnyne's power. It showed all of Excalibur afraid of her, her attraction to Captain Britain as well as how smart she was by repairing Widget.
This has me worried , issue 13 and still the tournament has not
yet begun? Hopefully that is the first page and the tournament begins soon after
