About the only thing missing is a genuine 'tank' like Colossus or Rockslide or Gentle, since I'm not sure he can 'Synch' with the tanky powers that Rogue has borrowed from Captain Marvel or Wonder Man... (I have no idea if he would instead 'Synch' with her actual mutant power, to drain life-force, memories and powers of others with a touch, and not whatever random other people's powers she's stolen this week.)
And Everett being on the team with Laura is great, given their recent history.
Apparently so. And oh look, there's Xavier in the darn picture, sealing his approval of this team that has zero of Magneto's Acolytes or Brotherhood mutants on it, zero of Stryfe's MLF, zero of Sinisters Rough Boy's or Marauders, zero Genoshans, zero Arakkoans, zero members of other mutant groups like Mutant Force or the Morlocks, etc., etc.
This is very much a traditional X-Men team, not a 'Krakoan' team.
And I suspect that's gonna be a plot point, and that this might be the Xavier-picked lineup on 'launch,' but not the Krakoan-approved final form of the team a year from now...
