  • What about Creed's inversion? He was last seen inverted and with Monet. And Brisson followed up on his newfound heroism in his First Fist Legacy run. But this series has him with completely different characterization that he hasn't had since AXIS. He's no longer a hero. He isn't trying to do better anymore. He's not honoring Logan by trying to find his Wolverine. Instead he's back to wanting to kill Logan. One min. Old Logan is saying he has good in him, the next, he's saying Creed can change and is really good. Is Creed, or isn't Creed, a good guy? Make up your mind Pak.
    • The Inversion isn't permanent; he's been gradually reverting like Iron Man and the Plunderer did, and like Havoc presumably would have had psychics not mind raped him to hasten the process. There's been one or two instances of him commenting in other stories that it's been getting harder and harder to stay straight, and being around Old Man Logan and the like probably hasn't been conductive to his stability.

  • Warpath now has a Healing Factor that he never had before since his existence. Where'd that come from? And why does he need it when he's already Nigh Invulnerable, with bullets bouncing off of him.

  • Why did Warpath need to wear a pair of flying wings like his teams in chapter 12 when he was shown being able to fly?

  • Sabretooth & Lady Deathstrike are both villains who have done horrific things. But why do Warpath & Logan only take issue with Sabretooth? It was revealed Sabretooth & Yuriko were in cahoots for a possible merc job to get a payday. But Warpath thinks nothing of Deathstrike, but plans to murder Sabretooth. What makes Creed any different than the hardly reformed Deathstrike -especially when Creed is supposed to be inverted?

  • Issue #22 finally brings up the subject of Monet & Victor's relationship from Uncanny X-Men (2016), but still left questions on what happened. Sabretooth gives a quick summary -he & Monet were teammates, she went bad after being possessed by her evil brother, then she disappeared. He was with her after she was possessed, and he ran away with her to try to help her. Why is he speaking as though she disappeared without anyone, especially him, knowing?

  • Also on the subject of him & Monet. In the same issue, Deathstrike tells everyone that Monet is Creed's ex-girlfriend. What makes her say this, and how would she even know? I doubt Victor has girlfriend chats about his love life.

  • As mentioned in What Happened to the Mouse?, Kotik has been in the last 4 chapters of the series, with Omega Red & Victor appearing to have adopted him. Chapter 22 goes by without a showing or mention of him, but the team is wearing his colors. Has Kotik been killed, and they're wearing his colors out of respect? Or better scenario, did they have to leave him behind in Russia due to him possibly not being able to survive outside of his element?
