1.) Yeah, totally feel ya on this one. Seems like an awkward moment shared by the two would at least be warranted. As far as fan-explanations go, my reading-in-between-the-lines handbook says that Rachel might find the situation to traumatic and strange for both of them emotionally and psychically to be terribly healthy for either of them. But that's all I got as far as anything resembling solid logic.
2.) Again, agreed. Understand that poor Wolvy may be friend-zoned, but they clearly care about each other deeply, known each other forever, have remained friends despite their differences, and clearly don't mind hooking up on occasion. All the right ingredients seem to be there. Of course, Storm's track record with relationships is nothing short of abysmal, so I suppose we can give the gal some credit for not pursuing things further.
3.) Honestly, I think too much time has passed for newer readers to really appreciate a Ms. Marvel/Rogue dynamic. Plus, they have already hashed out a lot of that before (in the now iconic Contest of Champions II #5; we all remember that...right?). Also, with Rogue no longer having Ms. Marvel's power set and being way more in control of her abilities, a lot of the potential tension is sorta gone. And Carol's solo series provides the character with enough angst as is, so I don't see Uncanny Avengers operating at a loss without her. Still would be nice to see Ms. Danvers in the series, though.
4.) Sure. Why not?
5.) I don't think Lifeguard has enough of a fanbase to bring her to the forefront of any book, if we're being honest.
