Top Developments and Milestones. Darkstar, leader of X-Term, brings the happy reunion between Cecilia Reyes and Wintergeist to a fatal end. She did not appreciate Wintergeist switching teams so makes an example of him after capturing X-Factor and pushing him out of the helicopter. One of Multiple Man’s dupes did not appreciate his Krakoan advances going unrequited and reveals himself to be the one sabotaging Dazzler’s musical tour.
Book of the Week – Dazzler #4 (Review score: 40 Points; 14 Characters). The characters from NYX attend Dazzler’s final show and offer her some extra security when Pretty Boy crashes the concert. Luke Cage makes an Appearance as the Mayor of New York to honor the popstar with a Dazzler Day declaration.
Hero of the Week – Wolverine/Laura Kinney (Review score: 15 Points/2 Appearances; 7.5 Pts/App). Laura Kinney gets her first Hero of the Week this year with the start of her new solo title. She scores a Team-Up, Save Civilian, and Defeats Antagonist in her two Appearances.
Antagonist of the Week – Thanos (Review score: 4 Points/1 Appearance; 4.0 Pts/App). Thanos earns his fifth Antagonist of the Week, second most for the Antagonist bracket. This moves him into a four-way tie for third place with Rabble, Sabretooth, and the Hood.
