Karma will probably be back as soon as she's through working for
her uncle - they may be waiting for a New Mutants Anniversary /
25th Issue / Annual to bring her back.  Then again,
could be she's all twisto by now and they'll have to off her.
Perhaps one of the New Mutants will kill her (Rahne finally learns
how to bite! :-) and have to leave and go join the Hellions.

I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Chuck's son - could be they
haven't had space to get around to him.  And don't forget Sara
Grey's two children, either - they're just about hitting puberty.
And whatever *did* happen to the black kid from FF #203, that was
supposed to be in the New Mutants?

But these sub-plots are as nothing.  *I* want to hear more about
Robert Chalmers, the pro-mutant judge whose house was fire-bombed
in X-Men #99!  One of the major criticisms of Claremont is that
he does marvelous, throw-away bits, without fully thinking out
the consequences - Colossus' cosmonaut brother Mikhail for
example.

Is Raven on the Arpa-Net?  Finally we know why Rogue is named
that! :-)
