Fix It in the Trade? The Mystery of the Return of Hellion's Hands in Phoenix Resurrection #2

This last week's Phoenix Resurrection #2 by Matthew Rosenberg, Carlos Pacheco, Raphael Fonteriz, and Rachelle Rosenberg seems to be continuing to show us two realities. One, what is going on in the Marvel Universe and something else, where Jean Grey, the Phoenix is. And as psychics have gone missing in the Marvel Universe and there are signs of a returning Phoenix, the game is afoot. In Jean Grey's fantasy world, all manner of deceased X-Men have returned. Multiple Man, Moira McTaggart, Thunderbird, and Magneto somehow having a foot in both worlds.

And in the Marvel Universe side, we have Hellion.

Yeah, you remember him. Created by Nunzio DeFilippis, Christina Weir, and Keron Grant for New Mutants. Powerful telekinetic fellow. Bolshy student, reformed, who has this happen to him a while back.

Very nasty — which led to this.

And only in last year's Uncanny Avengers, he was getting on fine…

But then in the Marvel Universe side of Phoenix Resurrection, he's back.

His arms and hands. How did he manage to regrow them?Fix It in the Trade? The Mystery of the Return of Hellion's Hands in Phoenix Resurrection #2

Well, how does Magneto manage to regrow his?

Is this an error — or part of the plan? Writer Rosenberg certainly seems aware of characters' history, even if he can't always reference the details in such a story…

But as the Hellion's hands, answer came there none.

Not from the writer at least. But from the artist? Carlos Pacheo confessed all…

Maybe they can fix it in the trade?

Phoenix Resurrection: The Return of Jean Grey #3 is out next week.

A light in the darkness is not always welcome.
Kitty Pryde, Old Man Logan and Cyclops are leading teams of X-Men all across the globe, chasing events connected to the Phoenix. But with teammates disappearing and familiar enemies returning, the X-Men are fighting a losing battle. Beast doesn't know how or what shape it will take, but he knows they are running out of time before the Phoenix makes its true presence known.
Meanwhile, a young woman named Jean is starting to go insane in her peaceful, suburban life. Nightmares and daydreams are spilling over into the world and revealing cracks in her reality. Jean's life and everything in it may just be a facade, but made by who? And why?
Jean needs to escape. The X-Men need to stop the cycle of death the Phoenix brings. Their worlds will violently collide as Jean searches for an opening and the X-Men fight for closure. But when they are brought together, will the X-Men be reunited with their long-lost teammate – or something darker?
