The tinkering of the celestials has been established as the reason for the superpowered mutancy in humanity, and also as somewhat of an origin for angel legends.  Not to mention the Deviants and Inhumans and whatnot.  And where does this mutant demon vs mutant angel war fit into Marvel history?  I'm sure that the Asgardians and Olympians would have been involved.  And would have said something upon seeing either Angel OR Nightcrawler.  How many times has Thor fought alongside of Angel?  The New Mutants spent quite a while in Asgard itself for crying out loud!  It's just poor and ill advised writing, and a severe lack of editorial oversight.This Azazel character better hope that Mephisto doesn't find out that he's stealing his thunder, of there will be a big pile of dead mutant demon wannabes.  The idea that Mephisto is trying to impersonate a human mutant is ludicrous.</blockquote>
