Criteria marked are unassessed

Prose

• Personally, I am finding the plot summary quite hard to follow. It jumps from event to event without really explaining why is all of that happening. For example, is Pierce behind all initial misfortunates on the new mutants? Why did Sam sided with Pierce? Why/How was Black Eagle murdered? Was the armored man attack ordered by Pierce? Do the new mutants all know each other? Is there a background story? Is that why they knew Roberto was in Brazil? But if they already knew each other how did Roberto mistaken them for enemies? Are the cybernetic man also Pierce's doing? I think the lead plot summary is much more understandable.
  • This is mostly an effect of how the story flows, because it jumps around a lot kind of haphazardly. I moved Donald Pierce down lower so it's clearer when he starts getting involved and clarified his involvement elsewhere.
• Making the process more difficult was that it coincided with McLeod's wedding and honeymoon. → The process was even more challenging because it coincided with McLeod's wedding and honeymoon.
  • Done.
• Perhaps add reverse racism to "anti-white sentiment" (optional).
  • It's not specifically the type of "reverse racism" described in that article.

MoS

• Everything is in compliance with the MoS.

References layout

• The reference layout is compliant with MOS:NOTES.

WP:RS

• What makes ScreenRant reliable for this kinda of content? Reliable sources' noticeboard deems it as unreliable for certain topics.
  • It's considered reliable for "entertainment topics" according to WP:RSP.

WP:OR

• Pages are needed for Marvel Chronicle: A Year By Year History.
  • Done.
• All reference numbers are from this version. Checked source #3, #4 and #5; all checks out.

WP:CV

• Earwig's Copyvio Detector points to 2%.

Broadness

• It addresses the main topic of the article.

Focusness
