Another beautiful page by Remus. Poor Remus volunteered for a page, and we gave him a very difficult double-group shot.

Yes, it's rematch time. The bad guys wiped the floor with our group the FIRST time. I know switching opponents is a superteam cliche, but MM has specific reasons why she's asking each particular person to fight that particular opponent.

By the way, I don't consider MM the leader of our loose little grouping. She's just the best tactician. Batman doesn't lead the Justice League, but they ignore his advice at their peril. Ditto Brainiac 5 with the Legion. MM is not a Captain America or Superman type, to inspire, or a Cyclops type, with the quality of leadership that Xavier spotted in him. In fact, up to now, more people have had problems with her than about anyone in the group. (Dasien, Lightbringer.)

Nevertheless, the group is working better together as they get used to each other's styles, their strengths and weaknesses.
