I liked the idea of the Quiet Council, but yeah it descended into everyone having they're own agenda at odds with everyone else's. I wanted to see how a new type of nation could be run, not a reality show. Once Magneto and Apocalypse left the Council it stopped being interesting since they were the only two who actually put mutantkind above themselves.

I loved the concept of mutant circuits too. When we combine our skills and talents literally anything is possible! It honestly blew my mind that no one thought to combine mutant powers like that before.
