The prophecies themselves

  • Cypher is wrong. It was Jamie Madrox who should have carried Warlock into battle.
    • Okay, fine, jossed.
      • …Because it was referring to languages, not people.

Saturnyne knows about Moira in the No-Space. And now so does Logan.

  • It was part of the nightmare vision narration after all.

It's not Otherworld deaths that throw a cog in the resurrection wheels

  • It was Purity, or something Summoner did to Purity before he cut Rockslide in half.

Meaningful Names

  • The full meaning of Pogg Ur-Pogg's name is "sword of swords". It fits with both Tarot lingo and Pogg's tendency to overdo things.
