Dani, like most of the New Mutants, seems to be Marvel's Infinity, Inc.- the inheritors to a great legacy that are being used as whipping boys/girls so as not to allow the more marquee X-men to suffer drastic alterations.
Mind you, I like seeing my favourites suffer some, how they rise to the challenges writers put them through- that's why I like them. I just hate when they are sent to Limbo. And that's what I fear Dani has in her future.

That's a good analogy. The period both came out of is sort of a lull in terms of the energy in their main titles. To me, X-Men peaked at issue 150 with the Magneto storyline. It plateaued and went into a slow creative decline until Silvestri and Lee injected some new energy into Claremont's verbose scripts.

Roberto's joined the H*llfire Club (for the 2nd time), Illyana's dead (Well every once in awhile it's hinted she not), and Amara's seemingly just accepted Dani's invitation to start working at the school but who knows if that will actually happen due to HOM.

Wasn't Illyana "deaged" before her death. I remember her being a little girl again when she died.

IMO, no. We saw Rahne tale Illyana out of Limbo, supposedly to prevent her from ever becoming Magik. Of course, we all know that there was another Illyana who came there with another set of X-Men who escaped. Hmm...
