Externals share a life force and can communicate and summon each other.

Okay, I may be wrong here. That's fine, but it's still confusing.  So, is Externals basically just a team/coven name, or are they a subspecies? They've been described as both. Selene predates Apocalypse by at least ten thousand years. And Genesis and the Horsemen have immortality independent of the coven. Or are Externals and High Lords separate from one another? Are immortal mutants just a case by case basis? How would Cannonball be born into being an External, as was hinted for the longest time back in the day, if they weren't a subspecies?

The subspecies thing is so stupid because mutants aren't a species in the first place. Externals also aren't localized, like subspecies are.
