And I could also question the "nowhere near as good", since ~530 vs ~630 damage per AP doesn't seem like a huge gap to me, but maybe that's just me.

Let me try again... I don't care how awesome XF/GT, if I go into a fight against them with my own XF/GT, there's a pretty good chance that I can come out of it without taking major damage. But if I have to take my XF/GT into a fight with this character and Dino, I'm going to have to be extremely lucky to not end up taking a boatload of damage. I'm not saying this pair is the new hop team, I'm saying they're a very unappealing matchup.

Maybe it's actually two characters, like Rocket & Groot were? The update said "a telepath. A shapeshifter". In Bendis' current run on Xmen, there's a villainous pair of brothers from a future timeline. One is the son of mystique & professor X - a telepath - and the other is the son of Mystique and Wolverine (or possibly sabertooth, not sure, but he has the back hand claws), who's a shapeshifter. Maybe it's them? Both telepathy and shape shifting could account for "invisibility.
