Okay sooo. Reptil has been "Feeding" classmates to Hybrid because half his class mates need to be killed by him (Hybrid) in order for his future to happen... he kinda has a change of heart....
Hmmm i wonder if this fucks up his future.... nice to see he isn't "a Monster"
Reptil saw a future version of himself where he killed half of his classmates and became a super-villain. So he's trying to stop that future from happening by helping a monster kill ALL his teammates?
...
Okay, there's being an angsty teenager, and then there's being stupid, borderline an insult that isn't allowed on this here parts.
Reptil is currently possessed by the future version of himself, he remembers the events from his youth as half his classmates getting killed. He plans on trying to manipulate the events on going for an as yet unknown purpose, that revolves around his daughter - and he seems willing to sacrifice anything for it, including half or all of his classmates, or perhaps not. It is not entirely clear.
I'm thinking Future Berto's change of heart came from listening to Ava Ayala/ White Tiger's backstory and her saying that she wouldn't change the past if it ment people getting hurt.
Speaking of Ava, she is freaking awesome! I loved that we got to learn more of her in this issue and I love that she went toe to toe with future Berto and nearly won!
I love that we have this badass Puerto Rican heroine in this book. Not a lot of PR heroes and AA gives us 2(Ava and Anya/Spider-Girl).
Warbird is a Shi'Ar Warrior and the personal bodyguard to Emperor Gladiator's son "Kid Gladiator".
The Shi'Ar sent Kid Gladiator to Earth to attend the Jean Grey school as punishment for destroying a city or something, and Warbird came with him as his personal protector.
She hasn't done much yet, but I guess that's why she's going to be in Astonishing.
And she's called Warbird because the Shi'Ar people are descended from birds, like Deathbird.
Yeah and i like that AA gives us several(White Tiger, Spider-Girl, New Power Man and Reptil) and from different Hispanic nationalities(Puerto Rican, Dominican, Mexican, etc.).
Only two of them are part of the core students, but it's still cool.

Btw, who's Warbird and why does she have Ms.M's old codename?
