What's happening with the X-Men?  Who's going to turn out to be the
leader?  For the SECRET WARS there was a conflict between Cyclops and
Storm, now it looks like Professor X is trying to assume total command
or the X-men.

While Xavier is great teacher, he has no right to be the field general
of the X-men!  He has spent much, too much time out of action in the
mansion with Cerebro.  While Wolverine's suspicions of a bad
situation arising from Xavier's assumption of command may have been
unfounded, I believe that this has further fragmented the group.

Now that Storm has (temporarily) lost her powers it makes it look like
Xavier is a prophet.  Now I'd never recommend Wolverine to be team
leader, but he is the choice for the original Alpha Flight leader.
Maybe somebody like Nightcrawler would be a good choice to assume
field leader role.  Xavier should stick to finding and honing mutant's
powers (such as with the New Mutants.)
