Well, its a good thing for her that she will be in the new Generation X! Her problem is that she really is underdeveloped and hasn't had much time to shine. The fact that she apparently doesn't talk also has freaked other students out from time to time.
Also, Eye Boy doesn't JUST have eyes everywhere on his body. He can use his extra vision to sense magical waves in the air, body language and feelings of others, infrared spectrums, is an expert marksman, and several other abilities enhanced from his vision. His problem is that he is self conscious and faces bullying for his appearance...
I'm not saying this new series is going to be absolutely amazing, but it is interesting to see a writer that hopes to develop these lesser known characters and give them some time to shine. After all, Jubilee (and all of the other X-Men) were at one point new... with writers taking a chance at making them work. These so called losers might actually become someone's favorite character some day. I remember absolutely hating Pixie AND X-23 at first, but then, under the correct writers I really came to enjoy them.
