Spoilers: The assembled X-Men, all of whom now wear matching costumes – including Psylocke – engage Illyana’s demon horde in battle. The forcefield overhead decays and collapses. The whole of the Inferno empties and converges on the X-Men while Darkchild claims she’s won. Meanwhile, Mr. Sinister reveals how’s everything is playing out exactly as he planned.

X-Position: Hopeless Charts a Course from "Inferno" to "House of M"

CBR: This week, "Inferno" and "House of M" writer Dennis Hopeless makes his triumphant return to X-Position and answers your questions about everything from Domilossus to the intricacies of the Maximoff family tree.

When you were first approached to do "Inferno," why did you chose to focus on your "Cable & X-Force" cast of characters -- some of whom like Domino and Boom Boom who were never part of the original 'Inferno' -- instead of classic 'Inferno' characters like Storm, Psylocke, Dazzler, etc?

Hopeless: Ben! Boom Boom was absolutely a part of the original Inferno. She starred in Louise Simonson and Jon Bogdanove's "X-Terminators" series, which told a big chunk of that story. I chose to use Domino because I'm telling a Colossus story and I like the two of them as a couple. To answer your broader question, I pitched what I wanted to write with characters I like writing and it got approved. Simple as that.

With armored Psylocke shown in the series' pages and covers, will she actually be in it and do anything? I think it'd be awesome to show a non-ninja Psylocke being badass.

Hopeless: Tazirai! Psylocke shows up throughout the series but sadly isn't a major player in "Inferno." I love pre-ninja Betsy and would happily write her being a badass -- or just sipping tea on a sofa and saying British things -- any day of the week. This just isn't her story.
