* The revelation that the mutants have colonized Mars proves to be a rather melancholy moment for Steve Rogers. While he is happy that the mutants have taken this massive step in space exploration, this moment also makes him realize just how fractured relations between Humans and Mutants actually are because "they left us behind."

* The whole concept of this issue, as [[spoiler:Orchis forces Xavier to send almost every mutant on Earth through the portals to an unspecified destination (and the evidence suggests to Xavier that millions of those mutants are now dead), leaving only a few scattered mutants on Earth, with Xavier in particular alone on Krakoa having witnessed the apparent end of his dream as mutants are framed for several human deaths and various X-Men have been killed]].

* As everyone heads for the after party on Mars, Prodigy, Eye Boy and the visiting Speed spot a figure lying on the ground. Speed goes to investigate and is horrified by what he sees: it’s the body of the Scarlet Witch. ''Dead''. “Pretender” or not, that’s Speed’s mom and he can only sputter out “Mom? Mommy?” in horror and Prodigy and Eye Boy try to pull him away. Even the X-Men are shocked at this, especially Jean.

-->'''Magneto:''' No. Probably not. The iron door, never opened. She had eyes like yours and hair like autumn leaves. My beautiful ''child''. The humans killed her, of course. I didn't even know I was a mutant then. We were humans at the mercy of humans. Prey for their ''systems'', their ''societies'''...and now...now I find myself the great ''mutant hero''. I run our ''systems'', govern our society. I helped build a ''world'' today...and I was ''happy''...for the ''children''...but then...then I thought of ''my'' children. And how I'd ''failed'' them. '''''All of them.'''''
