While Jason Loo and Sergio Davila’s X-Vengers lean more toward New Mutants nostalgia with their leadership of Dani Moonstar and Cannonball, the team of Seraphim they deal with leans more toward what the New Mutants became: X-Force.
Sunspot, Boom-Boom and Warpath represent the latter team, with their extreme attitude and penchant for explosions. They’re joined by Rockslide, the largest of the Academy X kids, and Random, the Lobo pastiche who used to hang out with X-Factor during their 1990s government-team days.
In that way, this book gets to have its cake and mash it up, too. It can do New Mutants vs. X-Force. It can do Avengers vs. X-Men. Hell, it could probably do Thunderbolts vs. Champions if it really tried.
Go ahead, comic book, I believe in you.
