Rachel's gradually gone from looking like she escaped from the Cenobite dimension to looking like she robbed a Hot Topic. The coat screams less "I was raised in a post-apocalyptic hellscape" and more "gently caress YOU MOM I CAN BUY MY OWN CLOTHES NOW I WORK AT MCDONALDS!"

That just means she's becoming more well-adjusted.

What's more ridiculous than Stilt-Man? The way that Stilt-Man was defeated by DD in their first matchup.

You'd think that after escaping the hellscape that she'd want a change of clothes. If only so that looking in the mirror didn't trigger her PTSD constantly.

Fun fact: In that issue Thor utters the words "Verily, Stilt-Man, you are a mighty foe!". Which is not a sequence of words you'd expect Thor to ever say.

That's Shark Girl. She was introduced in Aaron's Wolverine and the X-Men. If you are wondering about her powers or abilities, I will repeat: She's Shark Girl.

She's pretty strong and has hundreds of razor sharp teeth that keep regrowing. You can get worse I'd say. She had some issues adjusting, but she's doing fine in the recent issues. Her undercover agent thing with the Dinosaurs in the last arc was pretty fun.

I know basically nothing about Shark Girl and I think she's cool.

Being a shark person is only on the "low end" when comparing against prime time superstar bullshit mutants. Shark person is still awesome unless you get "needs to live in a fish tank because mutant powers are a lovely lottery" variety shark person.

If you can ask a small child "Hey, would being X be awesome?" and the answer is yes, it's a good power.

Isn't she like Wolfsbane where she's essentially a were-shark and not perpetually a shark person?

He can use them to see magic and things outside the visible spectrum and poo poo, which is kinda cool.

Canon-wise this is the case, but I don't think she's been in non-shark form for the entire SMXM run.

It won't be a problem until his Secondary Mutation, when he starts growing eyes inside his body. Like, constantly being hit with his stomach acid and stuff.

No his secondary mutation will be growing noses everywhere, but they have no enhanced smelling capabilities, he just has to smell a combination of his underwear and BO 24/7.
