Spoils for issues outside of this arc

If it helps, Prodigy becomes more relevant, arguably more than ever before. While he doesn't get his powers back, he does get access to all he'd learned with them previously, making him even stronger and more reliable than he used to be. His issues with Julian come up a few times, and they fight in this book and out.
You'll probably like Surge, but I can't spoil it because you'll see a bit of it in this arc. Just know that she's going to get her dues. She has her flaws, but she's sympathetic and you can at least see why she does things.
I don't remember if Dust gets a lot, but IIRC she's handled with respect.
