Again, what the heck is going on? Will the X-Men be opening their doors to non-mutants now? Lyra isn't a mutant. She might not be a 'normal' person but she's the genetically engineered daughter of Thundra and Hulk. I don't think that would make her a mutant.
Could it be that the number of mutants is so low the X-Men need to allow non-mutants to join to fill in the ranks and pages of all the different X-titles? I'm not sure where this is going but it's going to be interesting to see how and why these other characters are joining up with the X-Men. I have to admit that I don't see this as a long term thing but you never know. Perhaps instead of seeing the same half dozen characters in the pages we'll actually see some different ones running around. Since Professor X is no longer running things, does the team still have to consist of only mutants? Can't we have non-mutant characters fighting for the dream of mutants and humans living together? Wouldn't them being on the same team further support that?
I wonder what character we'll see next appearing as an X-Men.
