It's Toad. No one wants him. Wolverine took him to stop him from begging.

As for Broo, he's apparently from Astonishing X-Men (and as for alien mutants...remember Warlock?).

Lockheed was with Quire to stop him from going anywhere.

Doop was there because there are enough people that want Doop back. This brings him back without making a big deal of it (he's basically a receptionist).

Personally, I kinda liked it. The Bamfs were a great addition, and I enjoyed seeing the kids in school again, and seeing the "teachers" doing as well as you'd expect, given that most of them have never taught a day in their life (plus, woohoo, Husk was ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING. For the first time outside of a Mike Carey book in nearly a decade, anyway). Really, it's nice to see the classroom dynamic and no real villains. It got a little dull seeing the stakes constantly risen. To see them take a step back is a nice change of pace (though Wolverine as headmaster seems a bad idea. And hiding X-Force from Beast is exactly what Cyclops did, and seems doomed to...well...being ignored by the writers, which is a shame).

Looking forward to the next issue, myself. Though I hope there's less red on the cover. Just seems...odd.
