Someone Was in the Stratosphere

After leaving Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Ke Chen did not actually place much importance on Mutants. After all, if it really came down to comparison, the Black Widows under his command and the Amazons of Themyscira could now be considered to have "mutant abilities" as well.

Their numbers were already sufficient—perhaps even far exceeding the number of Mutants trained by the school. Besides, the only combat force Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters could offer was the X-Men. Ke Chen was merely acting on the principle that a little more help was better than none.
