I'll rephrase if it makes you feel better: Gladiator upping and leaving without explanation was not what I expected...••• You’d have preferred him to stop and explain his actions? With one of his comrades in deadly peril?

Exactly James. And it's also perfectly in keeping with the somewhat arrogant attitude already displayed by the other IG members.

As a general note, if you think you've guessed something, even if it seems blindingly obvious to you, please just wait and see if you're right rather than dropping "clever" hints.

P.S. Hey Brian M. - thanks for welcoming a new poster with biting  sarcasm. I'm sure that's appreciated
  ******
  A) Not a new poster B) Haven’t we already established in this very thread that even if YOU  know who someone is, everyone else might not and to keep possible  spoilers to yourself?

I’m a new poster. 
 
 Was my comment somehow worse than the comments about alt-Angel’s wings and boots during that particular part-reveal?  
 
 If we can’t comment on what we see in the artwork what’s the point of this forum? I don’t have any secret knowledge from JB that you aren’t privy to.  
 
 It was hardly a spoiler as we know the remaining M-Men are about to make an entrance. Alt-Warren, Alt-Jean and Alt-Scott aren’t there alone.  
 
 I don’t think I’ll comment again. It’s not worth the negativity. It really isn’t.

Others have spoken to Gladiator's actions better than this comment did, so I'll add: I like how the story is developing, there are some great and unanticipated twists and turns, and I'm glad JB figured out how the heroes might prevail. This looks like a real tough one.

Absolutely loving the anticipation of certain story 'reveals', as the protagonists face off.
  Excited to learn both the 'how' and the 'why' the M-Men are present in 'this' reality.   
  Can't help thinking Chuck's comments in panel one have nothing at all to do with Gladiator's subsequent arrival / departure! 
  "And something else..." Hmmm...

It takes real talent to juggle so many pieces of a story without any part of it feeling neglected or unimportant.

JB, How old do you believe Professor Xavier is?

JB, if you had been the one making the decision, would Marvel have given the original team another shot or still introduced the all-new team as it did?
