24 characters in this story:
BELOW: The manifestly non-religious nature of Eric Gitter ("Ink") is clearly evident here as he delivers innocent mutants Danielle Moonstar and Blindfold to the anti-mutant villain Donald Pierce. With his own words Ink acknowledges his morally questionable nature. But Ink refuses to kill the young women he captured, claiming, "Whatever else I am, I'm no killer." Although Ink won't kill them himself, he knows that Pierce might kill them.

BELOW: Anti-mutant villain Donald Pierce points out Eric Gitter's "mercenary" nature. Gitter (a.k.a. Ink) has captured two innocent young women and delivered them to a killer, purely for money.

BELOW: Rockslide invokes "Holy God!": Young X-Men Rockslide, Wolf Cub and Dust attacked Magma (having been misled by Donald Pierce disguised as Cyclops). Magma super-heated Dust in her sand form, turning her to glass. Rockslide, a nominal Catholic, utters "Holy God!" in shock and perhaps as an unconscious prayer. Coincidentally, the "glassified" Dust (who is a Muslim) appears in this panel remarkably like a statue of the Virgin Mary. This is probably unintentional.
