Synch's Krakoa-era resurrection transformed him from a forgotten Generation X casualty into a compelling team player, particularly during his tenure on the main roster alongside Cyclops and Jean Grey. His relationship with Talon Laura Kinney earned genuine fan investment, though many feel his storytelling has leaned too heavily on grief and trauma rather than exploring his vast potential. The character remains caught in broader conversations about how Black male mutants are written, with some readers frustrated that his syncing powers are framed primarily as support-oriented rather than allowing him to shine independently.
