Chamber, Warlock, Dark Beast, Val Cooper, Harry Morrel, Hope, zombie!Banshee, Callisto, Reaper, Scrambler, Forearm, Wildside, Sen. Prestel, Strobe, Samurai, Dragoness, General Callahan, Skullbuster, Donald Pierce, Bonebreaker, Angelo Macon, Pretty Boy, and Wade Cole have all appeared in the book post-Disassembled and are absent from these covers. Granted, only a handful of them dying would have any impact worth noting (I don't think Matt even remotely teased Blindfold or Strong Guy's deaths), so it's probably somebody I listed before Reaper. My money's on Val or Harry. Both Val and Steve Rogers have mentioned how Scott and Logan are putting Harry in danger by asking so much of him, let alone locking up supervillains in their basement, and as the proprietor of Harry's Hideaway, he has a long-term connection to the team. Val, on the other hand, is another good choice. She's out of the "mutant game" and Scott's just pulled her back in for "one more job", as it were. I doubt it's Hope, given how Logan almost but didn't kill her last week. It won't be Warlock, since he just fused with a Jamie dupe and that could get very interesting very quickly. Matt's way too invested in Dark Beast to ditch him already. Chamber just signed back up with the team so he's out. Zombie!Banshee's literally a dead man walking already. Callisto's in charge of the new mutant homeland in Chernaya, which is also too interesting of a concept to immediately ditch. So
