Unless she quits the council to join the X-Men.
Which would put Xavier in a pickle as the “let’s not push our luck and do something insanely stupid that ends with the baselines cracking the planet open just to spite us” faction of the council is further reduced (which would be very Hickman tbh)
Mystique should show up wearing Destiny's giant gold egg helmet as a statement.
I hope Logan bails on this gala, does not seem like his kind of thing by a long shot. While everyone is partying it up he is out doing something violent and bloody. The last thing I want to see is Logan in some wack ass outfit, he should be out killing something or someone then popping a cold one.
I could see SOME of the mutant community, like Logan, operating as Security for the event, since the gala is inviting non-Krakoan guests
Logan would probably be looking for someone on the margins of the evening to scratch an itch.
Or waiting Jott to come to him.
I would be surprised by that. All of these characters are locked down in books already outside of Jean and Scott who we know are on the team, and sort of Storm who seems like she's leaving Marauders. That's not to say that the team won't take anyone from an existing book, but every single character seems a stretch to me. Especially people like Monet and Warren who are starring in a completely new ongoing series that will be on its second issue for this event. Also would be surprised to see Rachel on the team since Leah is already potentially giving up Lorna and I can't see her having to give up two members of her cast.
There is no way Rachel will be on this team. I say this with great love for these characters, but there will never be a day that I envision Jean and Rachel being on a team together. It's been a chore for them to even interact on page (2 years for one sentence and not even in either of their books), and even though they use their powers completely differently I don't see a writer other than Bunn or Duggan who could pull off their dynamic together without it possibly devolving into the mother-daughter interactions only. Rachel is a strong presence in X-Factor and she would be in Jean's shadow if not written adequately.

Yeah these designs are not indicative of who is making the X-Men team.
