I hope he isn't. He is a tragically underused character. Bendis couldn't have used established teen characters instead of creating the awful supporting team that he did? All he is doing is creating more complications and background/cannon fodder characters for any new writers, who will in turn create more shitty characters that no one cares about until the entire franchise is so complicated and convoluted that no one gives a shit anymore. Oh wait, that is exactly what is happening now. Have you seen the sales charts?
My problem with this is X-23's reaction, in that she had no reaction. She considers helping him but immediately decides to run away instead. Then she risks her life to save the mass murdering Daken, WTF?
I remember a great moment between Elixir and X in the early issue of Yost n Kyle's X-force when he risked his life to remove the legacy virus from her and saved her life (she was about to jump in molten steel). It was a really nice moment between them. Now she runs away and lets him die? It really doesn't sit right with me. Like seriously, I have a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. It bothers me when writers change characters personalities to fit their stories or the infinitely more likely, they only have a very superficial idea of what the character is about. "Clone of Wolverine, tragic past, cold blooded murderer who is discovering her humanity. Go!"
I only read DoW and the peripherals this morning and I haven’t started Wolverines yet so this might be addressed. Who am I kidding? Of course it won’t. Sigh
