So, who is this man? What can he do? What powers does he possess? And will Emma ever stop being quite so generically snarky.
That's.... really sort of brilliant, and so long overdue it's beyond words. A normal guy, a therapist WITHOUT an agenda, there to counsel the residents of Utopia, who have been through more crap than most can imagine, and most of it so bizarre that there is no frame of reference to deal with it yourself. Sure, we can all have persecution complex's and suffer from lack of self worth, but how often have we been attacked by ACTUAL killer robots from the future, or felt insecure because their powers were passive as opposed to the guy next to them who can punch down walls like they're tissue paper.
Dani take Gus to observe Nate Grey, X-Man, who is now resident in Utopia, but lost nearly all of his telekinetic powers in the previous issue and is having serious problems adapting.
Gus notices someone staring intently at Nate, but not interacting with him... Dani explains that Hope is a sort of a "Mutant Messiah".
There then follows the sort of moment which can only come in X-Men comics as Dani tries to explain the situation...
Gus is instantly either the bravest man I've ever seen, or insane himself, if he WANTS to deal with this sort of baggage voluntarily! Or maybe he's just salivating at the thought of the papers that could be written on the psychology of the Summers family.
