Someone on reddit did this side-by-side with Hickman's FF:

[locuatico]

Oh crap... BLACK BOLT IS SCOTT'S LONG LOST THIRD BROTHER......... Man, next thanksgiving is going to be awkwaaaaaard.

[scorntx]

"You know, this actually would explain a lot."
"Including the time he tried to kill you?"
"Oh, yeah."

[shakalooloo]

Well, if Blackagar survived the universal-fabric-rending bomb, it stands to reason the other guy at space-ground-zero could also survive through the same means.

[lordultimus]

What's interesting is that would mean that there are two Vulcan's: one in the Fault and one with the Summers family.

[alliterator]

No, the one in the Summers family is the one that was in the Fault. He wasn't resurrected because he never died.

[lordultimus]

I thought he was an example of a mutant that gets "resurrected" when the original is actually alive. Note the lack of cyber eye.

[mindsweeper]

That’s what I think, too. In their rush to load up on omegas they made a mistake and now there are two.

I’m guessing Hickman wants an example of what happens when you resurrect someone who isn’t confirmed dead. It’d answer the “why not have an army of ...?”

[super_fly]

Does this mean Black Bolt had a hangover too?

[lieut_kettch]

If he did, he's not saying.

Gee, I bet the Shi'ar are gonna be glad that the X-Men resurrected an usurper

[scorntx]

A usurper who still had a rightful claim to the throne.

... (huh, thinking about it, did Deathbird even notice her ex-husband running around?)

[mistersandman]

Not yet, but since she’s been featured prominently in the New Mutants issues Hickman wrote, it feels like a matter of time before they are reunited.

[scorntx]

See, I was just assuming that during the big party they had, some of the X-Men were just engaged in Wacky Hijinks trying to stop them noticing one another.

[alliterator]

These pages indicate that the X-Men didn't resurrect him, though: like Black Bolt, he never died and somehow returned to Earth from the Fault.

[lordultimus]

I mean... Deathbird is advising the Empress...

[zachbeacon]

"Advising" sure.

"Try not to stab people in in the back. Getting in close and doing it from the front is much more effective."

[beyondthefringe]

Welcome back, Petra and Sway.
Enjoy being in crowd scenes!

Just to catch you two up on what happened:

Nobody mourned you because Xavier made everyone forget you exist.

Your old pal Darwin was here, but bad news, Scott sent him on a suicide mission and he didn't come back.

Gabriel's around, but since you saw him he murdered his father and impregnated a bird lady, so there's issues.

Oh, and the place you died horribly? We live there now!

[scorntx]

"Two minutes and they've already curled up into a ball."
"A new record!"

[mastermahan]

CHARLES: Just wait until they find out about their beloved mentor Moira!

SCOTT: You mean that she's dead now?

CHARLES: ...yes.
