They are literally scraping the bottom of the barrel (with a sword, of course). Everyone has powers, everyone in their own is an actual weapon, but we all need a sword to fight. This is the clear embodimentof the quality of writerswe have these days. It's funny how the art seems to be getting better and better, only to see the writing getting this bad. I was only a very limited reader of books before the hysteria....errr, I mean pandemic, because all of the political BS that Marvel (mostly Disney) can't seem to leave at the door, with X-Men books being the only books I was able to stomach, but this...this is what we have to come back to?To say this looks absolutely ridiculous is beyond understatement, but damn, Damn, DAMNNNNN, who the hell gotthis past the editors? Is there someone with a rubber stamp just letting everything slide on through?Is there no one in charge that has any red ink left? Oh yeah, CB Cebulskiis only worried about which sandwitch shops are being shut down by the hysteria. Gotta focus on what's important.

Given all the awful stuff, Benids got away with during his Avengers run, it is clear Marvel doesn't have any editors, just some whose a glorified yes man

These are all going to be magic swords and there is the Muramasa Blade which (somehow) negates healing factors

No doubt.

MAGIC swords, Blue Kryptonite, Roby-quartz armor, taking off Wonder Woman's belt, Bionics not working in cold temperatures;you gotta love those equalizing MacGuffins.

What's that old saying? "Never bring a knife to an optic blast fight."

Or maybe I'm thinking of: "Sticks and stones won't break my bones, and I've got a healing factor that makes swords and knives useless against me!"

I might just pick it up.

I almost jumped in on the HoX/PoX stuff but pulled back at the last minute. I'm glad they are "fixing" the X-Men. It seemed like it floundered for some time. I've been reading since....uggh...1976

so they are near and dear to my heart! Dang I'm old.

Quick question...who is the gentleman in red and white with the blindfold on?

Gorgon. The man who killed Wolverine and had the Hand resurrect him in the Enemy of the State arc.
