Hela (JiM #645 spoilers)

[Somebody]

Held off on this for a couple of weeks to avoid accidentally spoiling anyone.

Okay, so Leah II is Hela, sent back into the past by present-day Hela to complete the loop.

Leah II was created ("written") in imitation of Leah I by Kid Loki, and was subsequently rewritten to be a better approximation.

But Leah I was a piece of Hela severed off like a Madrox dupe - in a literal sense, she was Hela's severed hand, but that's not particularly relevant. In practice, she was Hela's childhood persona temporarily reincarnated into a new form.

So here's the question - is Leah I the future version of Leah II for chronological purposes?

[Leoparis]

I've read this run and greatly enjoyed it but reading it in monthly instalments along hundreds of other comics makes it difficult to remember the particulars.

Here's my take: Leah I isn't the future version nor past version. She's like Infinity or the discarded eye for Odin, a new character for practical purposes, just like a clone would be.
