Look Who's Coming to Dinner

If you haven't been keeping track of recent events in the Marvel comics universe, the House of M miniseries (which I haven't been reading--I've had it with the x-men mega events) is about to drastically change the mutant landscape. Rumor has it that the estimated 16 million mutants in the Marvel universe will be culled to somewhere between 200-300. Despite the silliness of the entire affiar, one good thing appears to be coming out of the House of M mess.

That's right, Excalibur is returning as a monthly series and Chris Claremont is heading up the reconceptualization of the team. I'll be calling the comic shop to add this to my hold file.

Okay, so it's been a while. I recognize Captain Britain, Juggernaut (Juggernaut?!?), and what appears to be a feminine version of Nightcrawler. But who are the other two?

Juggernaut is now a good guy. Sheesh, Mikey, keep up with the scorecard, eh? That's Dazzler with a new pink lid and Pete Wisdom, former British govt investigator of all things supernatural. He was with Excalibur late in the series, has/had(?) the mutant ability to generate and throw energy knives, and was a romantic interest of Kitty Pryde. The female Nightcrawler clone is Nocturne. I don't know jack about her. Curtis?
