I suspect that would be difficult.
This comic is bloody awesome. So much good stuff. "What if Cassandra Nova was right?" - making explicit all the character stuff with Beast that's carried on from Morrison's run that should have been obvious anyway... Also the way Henry gets on with Emma because they have certain cultural tastes in common, but still doesn't quire trust her because... well, because he's very neurotic.
I like it when Fury is a git. Could any Marvel geeks tell me whether the woman with the green hair being suspicious is an existing character?
My suspicion is that it is Jean that Rao is using to make the cure - after all, you can see on Henry's screen that the sample he was given matches the DNA from "Archive 002". Whose DNA would be the second to be listed on the Xavier database? Jean, who was Xavier's first pupil. But I also suspect she's still very much dead, as Beast only talks about "the body" Rao is using. Kavita (or more likely Ord) has been graverobbing - hence "you ghoul". But I can see poor old Summers getting obsessed with the idea that there's still a way to bring her back. I really like the fact that Emma is the only one of the characters who's felt in control for the last few issues, and now that's been completely taken away from her.
Of course, making a cure for mutants from Phoenix DNA throws up all sorts of questions. Particularly since we were told in Morrison's run that the mutant species had registered toxic levels of aggression and the Phoenix had come to disinfect the planet. Maybe Ord heard that too, and this is his interpretation - cleanse the planet of the disease of mutancy...
"Broken world." Here's my wild theory which will probably not work out because it relies on Whedon having time to conceive one of the plot points of his run at the last minute: Ord is from the "amputated timeline" future from 'Here Comes Tomorrow', broken off from the present by Jean. |

Looking forward to the issue.
