History: (X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "Exiles: Static Problematic") - The Tallus, now linked to the powerful Staff of Wallach X, led Blink and a problematic team of Exiles to another reality.
Comments: Created by Jim Calafiore and Peter Palmiotti.
Surprisingly most of the characters seen in this profile where part of the team Cyclops used on Earth-2128 to attack Professor W's school. Most famous member of the school for X-fans is the Exile Nocturne, who was instrumental in stopping Cyclops' team as seen in the flashback story in Exiles#41-42. It was nice to see Calafiore use his creations in this storyline, but one has to wonder if maybe there was more behind it. Maybe Exiles#41-42 occurred after Cyclops and the others had returned from their duty as Exiles with the alternate version of Blink or Cyclops took the lead from Blink and began to follow his own agendas.

Clarifications:
Exiles (Millennial Visions 2001) should not be confused with:
BEAST
A former resident of Earth-902. A tough, rude, sullen member of X-Punks, Beast found himself thrust onto the Exiles team from his home reality. He often took pleasure from being as difficult for the team as possible and generating dissension within it.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2000 - "X-Punks" (X-Men Millennial Visions 2000 - "X-Punks", X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "Exiles: Static Problematic"
BLINK
Blink from Earth-1026 was on the team since its foundation. She was convinced that she would never return to her home reality. Watching teammate after teammate either die or get returned to their home reality, Blink became distant and adopted a fatalist attitude.
--X-Men Millennial Visions 2001 - "Exiles: Static Problematic"
CYCLOPS
Cyclops hailed from Earth-2128 a dimension where Wolverine had murdered Xavier and taken his place in the X-Men as Professor W. Due to Wolverine's involvement in Jean's death, Cyclops led a group of mutants against the X-Men only to find himself thrust onto the Exiles team. Determined to retake his mentor's dream, Cyclops only cared about getting home.

HYVE
Hyve of Earth-9470 was an amorphous hive of ravenous black insects that could strip the flesh from bone. It did not communicate and only followed the team out of instinct.

ROGUE
Rogue of Earth-2182 encountered the Super-Skrull in her home reality, where she permenantly absorbed his powers and personality traits. She was pulled from her reality to join the Exiles.

WHITE
DWARF
White Dwarf was the youngest member of the Exiles, taken from Earth-1010's Project Cerebro-X. His youth quickly became a hindrance as no one in the group was willing to mentor the young, superhumanly strong and dense mutant.
