It was a dumb story that had run its course honestly by the time Ed Brisson’s X-Force series wrapped. Duggan wanted to give young Nathan the chance to spend some time with Scott and Jean, even though he already did this twice in two different limited series in the 90s, but sure. Let’s do it again in modern times I guess. Now that that’s over, though, I’m really interested in what’s next for the character. The adult version would be fascinating in the current Krakoan set up IMO, and I hope they do something with him because I’d love to see how he fits in and what his reaction is to everything.
