It seems very unlikely that Kurt has never heard about Logan killing Mariko before. Even if Logan hadn’t told him, one of the other X-men must have mentioned it sometime post-Excalibur. Always nice to see him as Logan’s confidante, though.
Yeah creaky…I was perturbed by the fact that it made it seem like Kurt didn’t know who or what has transpired with Mariko…she was only just a staple of the Wolverine/X-Men mythos for a period back then…but luckily Way didn’t butcher anything…I was for sure thinking he was going to tie in his Romulus crap with Matsu’o and have Romulus behind it.
