Don't trust the skull.

I wanted to expand on this a little because I reread it recently. This is also where we learn that Monet (or more likely, one of the twins) is Bishop's mother. With as disorganized as the writing of the time was, this was probably before the twins were created. I'm pretty sure that group of Hellions appeared just that one time and are then never mentioned again (presumably Emplate ate them)

My understanding is that while the twins hadn't been introduced yet, they'd always been part of the plan for who Monet was. The concept did get screwed around with a bit - originally, there wasn't going to be a 'real' Monet, nor was there meant to be a familial connection to Emplate, but the idea of who Monet was at this point was fairly well planned out.

IIRC, Emplate's Hellions don't even get named that in story; which makes sense, given that there's absolutely no reason for them to be using that name.

I don't know if it was planned, but it's kinda neat that Gene Nation are the remnants of the Morlocks, while the Gambit plot is wrapping up the last loose ends of the Mutant Massacre storyline; it means the two plots have at least some relevance to each other.
