Rob, I hope you mean “bawling” (as in the cries of a young herbivores) and not “balling” (as you wrote) which has a far different meaning.

The Hellfire Club was only in it for, what, three issues of the arc. After Mastermind has seduced Jean to be the Black Queen (bustiers and ribbons, hmmm?), the X-Men come, have a dust-up, lose-then-win and rescue her ... the Hellfire Club is just a motivation to Jean’s transformation, not a major component of the Dark…

Corporate greed = blood sacrifice to corrupt gods.
