Not to nitpick but is Hope even in any danger from Wolverine? I mean as an Omega copy mutant aren't people with a healing fact a zero threat level to her?
Interesting to choice to actually make Cyclops in to having one+eye and I don't mean that sarcastically. I do like the sense of Cyclops grappling with his past, but I also hope they don't soften him completely as he is such a fascinating and complicated character because of it.
While I get the 'Storm is my leader' and all that stuff, Cyclops is genuinely one of the few characters they've written to have to struggle with those big leadership decisions.
You can't shoot somebody straight in the fact with a high powered rifle and -just- take out their eye. Why didn't they just shoot his eye out with a bazooka?
The most realistic version of this I have seen is Carl from TWD. He got shot straight on, and it blasted a paper towel tube shaped hole in his head, barely missing the brain.
At any rate, this will be retconned away by the next author, as sure as god made little green apples.
I could say this is another case of Rosenberg's awful writing, but it's actually pretty consistent with Wolverine's characterization: a bully and a hypocryte waiting for an excuse to murder people, especially other X-Men, especially young mutant girls who are not deemed worthy to be the Kitty Pryde of the week. I really hope that at some point, Rachel and Hope work together to throw him not under a train, but into the sun.
Even the power of the sun would not be enough to stop the Wolverine fandom...he's just to cool of a character. If I were you I would just buckle in, and eat my vegetables.
Wait... I’m confused... why is wolverine friends with Cyclops again? Is they Alex? Ugh why did they make Hope an extremist? Oh dark beast made cyclops into his AOA counter part
Because the only doctor they had on hand was Dark Fucking Beast from the Age of Apocalypse, who, despite being an EVIL FUCKING GENIUS FROM A DYSTOPIAN TIMELINE, is inexplicably allowed to have relatively free run of their prison/basement, and even more inexplicably trusted with their medical care.
Hey, remember when Scott and Logan literally split the team between coasts because Scott wanted a mutant army and Logan wanted a school and didn't want to put kids in danger? Well, here's Logan, trying to kill his former teammates again...
And meanwhile, Rosenberg engages in his OTHER favorite pastime: Jamie Madrox torture porn. Seriously, what the fuck.
Elsewhere Magneto and Polaris eat in awkward silence while Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are outside trying to figure out if they're supposed to be related to them this week.

CYCLOPS: Rachel, could you pass the potatoes? For some reason I can't judge how far away they are.
[POTATOES LEVITATE AND FLOAT TO CYCLOPS]
HOPE: Look, I said I was sorry.
CYCLOPS: Well, sorry doesn't give me my eye back, does it?
HOPE: I was just doing what my father taught me to do!
YOUNG CABLE: I'm fairly certain I would have been against shooting my dad in the face.
HOPE: This is so unfair! Uncle Nate created a dystopian alternate reality - I don't see you yelling at him!
X-MAN: Hey, don't drag me into this! And he actually yelled a lot.
