Junior Juniper (mentioned, pg. 1, panel 1)  Quote: "They came here to the Andean Highlands for a whole host of reasons: They're X-Men... many have already died, among them, a team of SHIELD agents.

Both of them are real, both - each in their own way - possibly a lie. Has Storm been lying to them from the very beginning, pulling the cruelest, most perfect of deceptions? Or has 'Ro lost her whole life, cast into this younger incarnation like someone reborn?" The woman that 'Ro (de-aged Storm) thinks of as "Storm" is really a clone -- later known as "Perfect Storm."		black; The Consortium...  X-Men [evil clone of Storm]		15
