I imagine Voodoo and Sabretooths motivation were purely that Rogue asked for their help. They had specific abilities that were potentially useful in getting Wanda.
And Sam I think is simply taking over Steve's roll. Cap was an Uncanny Avenger, so he's an Uncanny Avenger. Plus unlike a lot of the rest he actually has worked with Wanda before so I'm sure he's happy to help.
Indeed My Friend!
Another part of the book I Enjoyed was who I think RR has been most wanting to write for a Long-Time and that is Brother Voodoo!
He Wanted him in UA Vol. 1 but Marvel did not give the rights to him, but now he has him and indeed it showed today! I don't know much about him, but so far he has had some very interesting lines, each words he says speaks to his abilities, powers and what he is able to do. The Arc that RR has him on in that Dead City to IMO might be the most important UA Vol. 2 Separation Arc Story-Line to happen, one I think will directly impact The High Evolutionary's world.

If Magento is not their father is Magda still their mother?
I think the Counter Earth scientist was indicating to Rogue that the High Evolutionary had been trying to discover how to control the X-gene and that there had been a resulting debate which mutant held the key, with the scientist I believe stating in triumph he had been right about Rogue's importance.
Thus my previous speculation that the High Evolutionary, who had had dealings with Sinister, had tried to hack an equivalent of the X-gene and came up with Wanda and Pietro. If there is an Inhuman connection, then perhaps the High Evolutionary had used an Inhuman genetic template and hacked that to try and emulate the X-gene.
Ya, while this Magneto is not their father plot line is mind numbingly dumb, this was pretty good. This cast seems way more appealing then the last.
