look sorry about the typing errors it was like 2:30 in the morning when I started this thread and I had taken my contacts out so I couldn't see the keybord very well.
To aswer you quetion Renokhan Husk is agels new lady freind, she can change the molecular compsition of the underlayer of her skin to any substance ( steel, stone, whatever she wants) and then sheds the outer lyer like a husk.
Chamber isn't near as cool. Probably one of the weekest ones. he just kind of has a bunch of shiny lighs for a mouth . i haven't really seen him do much.
Why you hittin' yourself, Boomerang?! Huh?! Why you hittin' yourself?!

Chamber and Husk are original members of the Generation X (Next?) team who were teen students taught by Banshee and the White Queen. They were the replacement for the New Mutants for a while. Also consisted of Mondo, Jubilee, Skin, Monet (others?)
Husk's real name is Paige Guthrie, the little sister of Sam Guthrie (Cannonball).
Chamber has some telepathic powers (probably due to the fact that he has no MOUTH!) That energy leaking from his upper chest/lower jaw is some form of his psychic energy which he can use to blow stuff up. Been a while since I've seen him do it though. At least that's what I remember, now I'm doubting myself. Aahh, fear and self-loathing! I'm going to hide in the corner now.
Hope that helps.
Oh, I too have really liked the Juggernaut joing the X-Men. How many times can they do "The Juggernaut comes to town" storyline before it gets lame? (Answer: Depends on whose town it is) This way, we actually get to explore the character some more.
Husk is also Cannonball's sister. Chamber has kind of a plasma discharge that comes from his mouth. Pretty much he always looks like he is vomiting fire. Both were at one point members of Generation X.
I liked the team in the outback better
Wolverine
Havok
Gateway
Rouge
Psylocke(pre ninja makeover)
Dazzler
Longshot
Storm.
As for having the Juggernaught join the team, I don't like turning villians into hero's just because there interesting characters.
I agree that the outback team was better, especially the brood and inferno issues.
I think occasionally turning villains to heros can bring new life to characters. It makes it more special when they become villains again. Case in point, Magneto. He can spit in Chuck's face and say, "I tried it your way. Your way sucks!" Then he sticks his tongue out and rips down a skys####er. Not really, but it was just a mental image I had to share.
Juggernaut will be a good x-man for a while then he'll argue, leave and come back badder than ever. Be patient.
X-Men is now a self-parody of any of its former glory from any time,Its a bloated diseased waste of a comic which wrapped itself in Black Leather and angsty attitudes form every single character in a sad attempt to cover up the ineptitude of its writers.Right now X-Men Evolution with a totally different universe and different arrangement of characters has a closer relation to actual X-Men comics than these secondary mutation filled over-angsty sociopaths.
Saying Xorns brain is a star is a little over simpling his power.
When he was 13 his brain did turn into a mircoscopic star, shattering his skull, face and whole head. The Chinese goverment (since he is Chinese) game him a metal casing around his head (which at point was a star) and locked him up a tiny cell, chained the floor. He stayed their for 20 something years until the X-Men freed him. Using the the stars power he can heal people and injuries (as someone already said, he even healed Xaivers back) as well as the Earth (he said if his people hadn't feared him the could have helped his country beyond belief - making deserts grow again etc...) as well as make things blow up (as far as I can tell).
New X-Men is a great book. Instead of just doing the same old thing (the villian of month tries to take over the world or kill the X-Men, they go on a mission and stop him) Morrison takes them in a new direction. The school is really a school for the first time. Not ever characters powers would help them in a battle - again for the first time some of these mutations really more of a curse (like beak) then a blessing. The characters are becoming real people, not just soliders, with real problems. Instead of Wolverine longing after Jean from afar he has Cyclops involved in an affair with White Queen. Instead of Scot being a mindless solider and boy scout hes a person with needs and wants and problems.
Morisson saved the X-men.
Theres only one Return, and it ain't of the King, its of the Jedi.
I concur, Morrison has taken the X-Men in what has long been the next logical step. As opposed to Austen's running with the antiquaited "Hmm, maybe I should introduce more generic villains..." (Although I mildly appreciate some of the character development Austen's progressing on)
Xorn is a remarkable character, and a person that varies conceptually from every X-Man before him.
I'm a bit skeptical as to the current "Assault on Weapon Plus", and I think it may've been more appropiate in a mini-series, or in the old Wolverine title.
I'm looking forward to Planet X as well as Marc Silvestri's return when Morrison will offer a look 100 years into the future of the X-Men, when mankind becomes the minority.
