Article Summary

Wolverine faces a surprising diagnosis in Uncanny X-Men #6, thanks to Rogue's psychic abilities.
Rogue's powers reveal Wolverine's past traumas, showing no need to be psychic for this insight.
Other X-Men comics this week explore psychoanalysis with characters like Avalanche and in Mystique #2.
Return to school for young mutants in Uncanny X-Men #6 adds a new layer of drama and mystery.

Uncanny X-Men #6 by Gail Simone and Javier Garron, is published today by Marvel Comics. And as it deals with integration of the Outliers, the new New Mutants, Wolverine is blind to his own problems.

But that's okay, Rogue is still a but psychic after absorbing the soul of a dead child mutant. Or as they call it around here, Wednesdays.

Which means she gets to diagnose what ails Wolverine. And she appears to be bang on the money.

I mean… yes. He's doed hundreds of time, often with the flesh stripped off his body, has been in more wars than anyone, including the first and second, and has hacked and slashed his way through continents worth of people. I'm not entirely sure Rogue needed to be psychic to work this one out.

Although Wolverine may not be the only one being psychoanalysed in X-Men comic books this week. Over in Mystique #2, it seems that Avalanche is resistant to such techniques…

… though quite good at analysing word association pushed in his direction. Doesn't even need to be psychic to do so.

While X-Men Infinity: From The Ashes prefers a condition that you can take a scalpel to, and one to grow on.

Okay so I may have jumped on the bandwagon and have been provisionally diagnosed with ADHD this month. Not a surprise to anyone, I think.
