Immortal X-Men is an ongoing comic book from Marvel Comics, an ensemble cast series about the Quiet Council of Krakoa by writer Kieron Gillen and artist Lucas Werneck, with color art by David Curiel.The series, set in the shared Marvel Universe, is part of the wider X-Men line and is the flagship title launching Destiny of X, the third phase of the long-running Krakoan Age saga. It also marks a key change to the wider X-Men creative team, with Jonathan Hickman, architect of the previous Krakoan Age arcs, no longer involved.Krakoa, the living island, is now a nation in its own right, a welcoming home to all mutants - even those previously seen as villains and killers. Although humanity is unaware, by combining their powers, mutants have also achieved Resurrective Immortality - any mutant who dies can be reborn with a new body housing a back-up of their mind.The twelve members of the Quiet Council are the leaders of Krakoa, keepers of some of its more troubling secrets. Some of them are heroes, others are self-serving monsters. But to steer the new nation, they have to work together. After the events of Inferno (2021) and X Lives and X Deaths of Wolverine, some of Krakoa's deepest secrets have reached a wider audience and the Quiet Council now struggles to stay united.The series initially focuses on a different member of the council with each issue, using them as a narrator and viewpoint character. As part of this approach, the series often includes flashbacks to that character's life before Krakoa was established.Storylines and crossovers with their own pagesThe following storylines and events are connected to the Immortal X-Men series. A.X.E.: Judgment Day Sins of SinisterThe first issue was released 30 March 2022. The series ended with issue #18 on December 27 2023. It will be followed by X-Men: Forever, also written by Gillen and launching in March 2024. | |

| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_105d50b1 | comment |
Psychological Torment Zone: The White Hot Room, at least for Hope and Exodus. Hope is constantly attacked by spectres of Wolverine and Bishop, who have both tried to kill her, while Exodus is attacked by Apocalypse as he looked when they first met, perceiving him as a Satanic Archetype. | |

Serial Killings, Specific Target | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_13dc1beb | comment |
Serial Killings, Specific Target: Mister Sinister's murder of Hope is the spree-killing variant. He wants to kill at least three other members of the Quiet Council at the same time, hiding the essential murder of Hope (and he has some preferences as to which ones die), but she's the victim who's "10/10" essential. It's not until Sins of Sinister that Sinister's reasoning is explained. | |

Madness Mantra | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_141a6acb | comment |
Madness Mantra: You're a ghost.... Something causes Destiny and Sinister in the first issue, and then Destiny again in the second, to act as if they Go Mad from the Revelation and repeat this line over and over. It happens to Sinister again in the eighth issue where it's revealed the original Essex says both the "You're a ghost" mantra and a new one, "Red and black", before he dies. Later revelations imply that they are reacting to the discovery of the secret Sinister clone who manages to achieve Dominion. | |

Human Resources: Sinister views other mutants as raw material, as always. Early issues refer to a gun based on cloned eyes from Cyclops, a bank of clones of Moira used to research and reset the future and, in one possible Bad Future, cloned meat from Sebastian Shaw used to store kinetic energy for a starship. | |

A House Divided | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_21889507 | comment |
A House Divided: The book continues the Quiet Council's struggle to work together despite internal feuds and differing agendas. To whit; Charles is getting increasingly tetchy with people trying to call him out on poor decisions, Emma is pissed at Charles and Erik for lying to her, Shaw only cares about his bottom line (and possibly just bottoms in general), Storm is torn between the Council and Arakko, Kate is more focused on the Marauders, Colossus is The Mole, Exodus is driven by his Mutant faith (and once Hope joins is 100% behind her in all things), Sinister is Sinister, Mystique only cares about Destiny, and Destiny only cares about Mystique. | |

Only Sane Man | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_24321e44 | comment |
Only Sane Man: Nightcrawler is the only member of the Quiet Council who hasn't gone all in on "mutant superiority". He is appropriately horrified by the rest of the Council's seemingly growing and sociopathic disregard for humans and robots, and disgusted when Exodus deems humans as stupid after hearing about a suicide. (It should perhaps be noted in total fairness, however, that Xavier is also clearly deeply troubled as a result of this.) Colossus would be in the same category as Kurt but, unfortunately, he's been compromised by the Russians and is an unwilling mole instead. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Zig-zagged with Shaw in issue #4. He chides Mystique for a horrific remark not because he gives any more of a rat's ass than she does, but because it's a PR disaster and they should at least try to act sorry... and then immediately starts wondering how to turn it into a financial advantage. During issue #6, Destiny sees that Mystique is more willing to go for a vote if it harms or kills humans. Privately, Irene notes how sometimes her wife's sociopathic tendencies unnerve her. | |

| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: Not all the Quiet Council characters are focused on equally. Sinister by far gets the most focus in early issues, with Mystique and Destiny not far behind, and Emma, Exodus, and Nightcrawler all being almost as prominent. Hope is in focus for the first three issues but only appears for a single panel in the fourth, while Storm is uncharacteristically quiet and Colossus is barely even a presence. Admittedly, Colossus was also being a major character in X-Force and Shadowcat over in Marauders at the same time. | |

Creator In-Joke: Being a Brit, Kieron Gillen prefers the most common British spelling, "Judgement", rather than "Judgment" and wanted to use the former for the 2022 event Judgment Day (Marvel Comics). Marvel editorial overrode him, and he had Sinister (also a Brit) make a catty remark about it in the first issue. | |

Mind over Manners | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_4ac77ae7 | comment |
Mind over Manners: Charles Xavier is usually pretty firm on not reading minds without consent, but in issue #18 he borrows technical skills from people across the world left and right. Admittedly, the situation is extremely desperate. | |

Clap Your Hands If You Believe | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_4dbd3706 | comment |
Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Exodus' Psychoactive Powers can be strengthened even more by others' belief. Which gets taken to it's Logical Extreme in one possible future where Exodus — empowered by the faith of a trillions-strong mutant theocracy — ascends into being a full-blown cosmic entity on the scale of Galactus. Mother Righteous notes this is a factor of Mutant magic, which given the Krakoan Smug Super attitude actually works in their favor. Unfortunately, it also works in hers as well. | |

In other words, this Professor X has actually been a Sinister clone or chimera for an undetermined period of time. The ending of issue #16. After Shaw tells him that he's been killing Orchis soldiers, Xavier doesn't understand what he means. He goes down to Sinister's old lab and is guided to a mirror, where a bloodied message reads "Don't kill yourself please" with a Sinister diamond positioned where Xavier's forehead is, suggesting Xavier is still connected to Sinister. | |

Smug Snake: Mr. Sinister is in fine form in the first issue, thinking to himself that he has everything figured out, only for events to unexpectedly go another way and leave him fumbling trying to maintain his composure. Destiny spells it out for him near the end, there is no one future, no singular destiny, only possibilities that her powers allow her to see. Selene Gallio deftly takes his place in the second issue, smugly believing her summoning of a giant monster will force the Quiet Council to bend to her will. Instead she is shot through a window, briefly resurrected back on Krakoa and then killed again. The dialogue also implies that her famous From a Single Cell tier regeneration power has been permanently neutralized. | |

But when Destiny votes against, even though Sinister knows she originally voted the other way, that causes him to realize that she knows what he does, forcing him to change his vote. | |

It's implied that he's already done this 25 times, with the current Sinister being version 26 - he also mentions hoping to make it through Judgement Day this time, so at least one previous timeline he's reset was more advanced than where he was up to then.. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: Nobody likes Selene, but she's not wrong when she points out that Apocalypse's departure leaves the Quiet Council without an expert on magic and vulnerable to threats that use it. After the Sins of Sinister event Mother Righteous, the Sinister clone who's pursued magical power, is in a strong position to do exactly that. In issue #7, Kurt is momentarily shaken when he comes across an Orchis propaganda leaflet which, underneath the anti-mutant xenophobia, makes the somewhat simplistic yet blunt and difficult-to-refute point that mutant claims that they are an oppressed and downtrodden minority cannot help but ring a little hollow when they're powerful enough to conquer Mars, terraform it within minutes and use it as the foundation of a mutant-only galactic civilization. Oh, and when it turns out they can also live forever. In his point of view issue, Xavier addresses a long-standing meta-critique regarding the X-Men and mutants — that they are simultaneously and somewhat contradictorily treated as an abused, oppressed and downtrodden minority while also containing among their ranks numerous people with borderline-unstoppable godlike superpowers — by acknowledging that, while it doesn't justify the worst of their actions, people are entirely within their rights to fear mutants; unlike other oppressed minorities, they can be genuinely dangerous to everyone around them, human or mutant. After their argument in issue #11, Ororo notes that while Emma was just lashing out, it doesn't make what she says to her less true. Part of what makes it difficult for Kate to countermand Colossus; while he is being controlled to say hurtful things and undermine Krakoa, some of his criticisms — such as how Destiny nearly caused the destruction of Iceland in Judgment Day, and how the Quiet Council's general willingness to make questionably ethical decisions for some hypothetical utopian ideal are gradually warping and undermining that whole ideal to begin with — are entirely spot-on. | |

The Reveal | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: Sinister's lab contains multiple clones of Moira, which he's been using to map out the future. He uploads them with information, then kills them to send a message to his past. Nathaniel Essex cloned himself four times over, each marked with one of the four playing card suits to pursue four different means to combat the emergence of AI in the future, explaining why Dr. Stasis insists that he is the original Nathaniel Essex alongside the Mr. Sinister that X-Men fans are familiar with. Both Dr. Stasis and Orbis Stellaris have tried and failed to achieve Dominionhood, something Mr. Sinister's records show but he himself is incapable of recalling until Xavier tells him directly after reading the records himself. The Sinister that achieves Dominionhood is a fifth copy — namely, an artificial intelligence copy of the original Nathaniel Essex. The A.I. Essex, calling itself "Enigma", achieved Dominionhood by being fed data from the other Sinisters' attempts. | |

Meaningful Echo: In the first issue, Destiny tells Sinister that there is no "the" future. In the third issue, she simply says that there is "no future", because she can see no future in which her wife Mystique survives. Back in the first issue of House of X, Magneto told some human ambassadors "you have new gods now." At the end of issue #18, Enigma repeats this, only it's clear it's talking about itself. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The second issue's cover features Magneto, Storm and Exodus battling against a giant Selene, with Exodus struck down by lightning. Selene leaves Krakoa in the first few pages, without any sort of fight. It's the Kaiju she leaves behind that's the problem. Magneto and Storm never confront her directly - they fight the Kaiju. Exodus does face Selene later in the issue, but she's disoriented and newly resurrected - and he snaps her neck before she can react. The fourth issue, which focuses on Emma Frost, has a cover showing her in a huge bed, seemingly naked, partially covered by deep red sheets and lounging in luxury. The opening scene reveals her sprawled in a much smaller bed, lying on top of a tangled dark grey sheet and wearing a pink tank top and shorts. The contrast helps to establish one of the issue's themes - the gap between who Emma is in private and how she lets the world perceive her. Issue #12 has Colossus attacking Kate Pryde. Nothing like that happens in the story, with the closest being a verbal attack. | |

From Bad to Worse | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: Issue #12. Colossus works with Shaw to install Selene on the Quiet Council. While Mystique and Destiny might be opposed to Shaw's machinations, Mother Righteous arranges it so Mystique suddenly kills her wife, and Shaw uses this to exclude Irene from the Council, allowing him to solidify his control. With Nightcrawler gone, Piotr also manages to seize his vote, and decides to reveal the truth about the Sinister timeline to the entire world, which will completely tank Krakoa's reputation. | |

Not Quite the Right Thing: Knowing there's little way to trust that Sinister's machinations haven't infected the Quiet Council, Ororo removes Charles, Emma, Hope and Bennet from the Council. Unfortunately, with Nightcrawler also taking off from Krakoa over in Sons of X and Colossus still being The Mole, this leaves her up against Mystique, Destiny and Shaw with only Kate on her side. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: After suffering an issue of Ororo's self-righteousness over the whole "Sins of Sinister" debacle in #11, Emma gets her own back when she coolly but bluntly points out that Ororo, frankly, has no place whatsoever getting judgemental towards anyone else considering that, for all she was regarded as the hero in the Bad Future that resulted, the whole mess only occurred in large part because she was too divided between Krakoa and Arakko to notice anything was wrong for five years. And that furthermore, all the claims about "no thrones on Arakko" clearly ended up just being hypocritical waffle considering how comfortable Ororo clearly got with being worshipped as some kind of god-queen. Ororo is clearly seething when she's listening to it, but while she later rationalises it as Emma just lashing out she does also admit that the speech hit the target exactly. In issue #13, Doug has such a speech prepared in his head and lets Xavier read his mind. Doug reveals that the Quiet Council's shady actions have destroyed the Krakoans' trust in the whole idea of Krakoa. It reminds them too much of the bad governments that made them flee to Krakoa in the first place. It's also making Krakoa the island sick because it feeds off of the people. Xavier immediately breaks down crying and agrees that he's made too many moral compromises. This ultimately leads to Xavier's decision to end the Quiet Council altogether and replace it with telepathic democracy. | |

As implied by previous comics, it's also revealed that Mystique's wife Destiny, Irene Adler, was the same Irene Adler that Holmes encountered (in "A Scandal in Bohemia"). How many of the original Holmes stories were true (or to what extent) is unrevealed, though. | |

Humiliation Conga: Selene's terrorism-via-Kaiju retaliation against the Quiet Council does not end well for her. She is unceremoniously assassinated by Hope Summers, then resurrected on Krakoa, only to be punched in the face by Hope, telepathically interrogated by Exodus to dismiss the Kaiju, then killed again via a Neck Snap. Issue #14 shows that Sebastian Shaw's scheming before the start of Fall of X hasn't gone to plan. Shaw gets ownership of Krakoa but fails to get its liquid assets, he loses control of the Hellfire Club to Wilson Fisk (who is now White King) and his attempt to strip mine Krakoa is hindered by Xavier, who is staying on the island as penance for what he did. | |

However, Sinister is actually keeping his head alive in a laboratory. In issue #12, Selene makes her grand return. Hope and Exodus killed her in issue #2, and Krakoa was in no hurry to bring her back after she unleashed an undead Kaiju on the island out of spite - but she's now been resurrected by a force outside Krakoa. | |

Foreshadowing: In issue #3, a resurrected Destiny has a sudden flush of images pertaining to the future: Jean Grey and Cyclops fighting the Eternals with the help of Captain America and Thor. This refers to the then upcoming event AXE. Mr. Sinister sat on a crystal throne; next to him Jean Grey and Emma Frost, and on the foreground Cyclops and Wolverine wearing a red diamond on their heads. This refers to the Sins of Sinister crossover. Magik in her demonic form standing over the fallen bodies of Rogue, Cyclops and Wolverine. An island in flames (implied to be Krakoa). Exodus standing on a mountain and mutants rising out their hands to the sky. A Dark Phoenix lookalike destroying a planet, with an evil smile on her face. Sinister wonders how he could've not learned the truth about Dr. Stasis in all his previous resets, even ones which occurred past the point he's already at. It's not until issue #18 that it's explained; Enigma's been preventing him from noticing. In the flashbacks in issue #8, the original Nathanial Essex is killed in his cell by an unseen force heralded by an ominous red glow. The end of Sins of Sinister would suggest this is the Sinister clone who has in fact achieved Dominionhood. | |

| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Sinister sneeringly compares Krakoa to the X-Men's Utopia period. As part of her pitch for membership in the Quiet Council, Selene brings up that time she tried resurrecting the population of Genosha herself, as happened in Necrosha. Kate tries pointing out Selene wasn't exactly doing that out of the kindness of her own heart. Cyclops' strategy guide on fighting different kinds of threats features a section on battling Kaiju… and includes a specific subsection about battling giant atomic, fire-breathing lizards in particular. In the second issue Mr. Sinister uses a serum to temporarily transform himself into a huge pale version of Weapon H. Issue three begins with a flashback to Mystique finding Irene at Los Alamos, the research project she did with Sinister on Mutant babies, bringing up Sinister's attempts to cheat death seen in Mike Carey's X-Men: Legacy, and how it didn't work. Issue five is basically a rundown of Exodus' history, from his origins and encounter with Sersi and Black Knight to his awakening in the modern day by Magneto to his battles with the X-Men to his struggles post-Decimation and rekindling of faith in the face of Hope's birth. In the first flashback of issue #8, Destiny offhandedly mentions how Mystique will kill Sinister one day, as happened in the events of Messiah Complex (where Mystique said after the fact Destiny had told her about). She then goes on to mention Sinister's failed attempt to take over Charles during the first arc of X-Men: Legacy. When Sinister runs for it in issue #10, he goes back to Sinister London. Cyclops fills Jean (who was dead at the time the X-Men previously dealt with it) in on the place's history. Sinister attempts to leave Earth on a starship that runs on Shaw's mutant abilities, which Destiny saw in a vision in previous issues. Exodus compares the White Hot Room to Tiphareth, a comparison made with the place in other comics, including Defenders: Beyond. | |

Of all the four telepaths, Hope is the only one to actually show any regret and remorse for what happened in Sins of Sinister, once she gets past the anger. Ororo takes it as a positive sign. | |

Speech Bubbles: When Sinister reinstalls his personality the speech bubbles change step-by-step, not just the speech patterns. He goes from a very formal font to the standard font, but all in capital letters, before finally returning to the usual sentence case style. | |

Too Clever by Half | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_a3a4a800 | comment |
Too Clever by Half: This stymies Sinister repeatedly in the first issue. He boasts of his scientific prowess, utterly dehumanizes everyone else as genetic resources to be exploited, but regularly runs into stumbling blocks because things don't turn out how he so smugly expects. Yet he never learns, even after Destiny spells it out to him that there is no future that is an absolute certainty. | |

Agent Peacock | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_a859f080 | comment |
Issue eight as a flashback to Mr. Sinister's life in Victorian London serves as a reminder of his original more serious characterization before his current Agent Peacock Large Ham characterization as codified by Gillen and Hickman. It also tries to reconcile the two differing takes on the character by explaining that Essex was originally stable, for a given value of the word, but his Victorian values, obsession with trying to better himself, and Apocalypse's empowering of him created a Jekyll & Hyde situation with Essex and Sinister. The campy supervillain emerged as an alter who indulged in all the passions and wild impulses that Essex didn't want. | |

All for Nothing: Shaw works behind the Quiet Council's backs to undermine Krakoa and take over so he can exploit its resources. After Fall of X, when Mutantkind is either dead or gone, he's still unable to do this. Mother Righteous manipulates everyone on and around Krakoa so she can get her chance of Dominionhood, only to find, like the other Sinister clones before her, that there's a Dominion already there, and it has no intention of sharing. | |

I Did What I Had to Do | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_b17f6a27 | comment |
I Did What I Had to Do: Deconstructed. In issue #6, when Destiny is facing the Progenitor's judgement after the failed attempt to destroy it (the devastating consequences of which she knew, but kept secret), she argues that the alternative was seeing the whole world burn, and that if it came to either the mutants or the humans, she was going to choose the mutants. The Progenitor (in the form of Mystique) promptly silences her by saying that it isn't judging her for that, it's judging her for lying to accomplish it; choosing to keep a major fact like that from the others, to ensure that they'd do it. This earns Destiny a thumbs down from the Celestial, with it coldly warning her that she'd best hope the others prove more moral than her. | |

Mingyu is not impressed, pointing out that ranting about hate crimes committed against mutants (least of all one that wasn't even committed by humans) and who has it worse won't magically make criticisms and problems go away, and that Krakoa is going to have to be willing to make concessions and engage with humans as equals if they want to actually survive as a nation long-term. | |

However, each of his co-founders has subsequently either died, been exiled or abandoned Krakoa, leaving Xavier — the only non-believer — in a position where he's the only one left frantically trying to hold together a society based on beliefs he doesn't even value. | |

Forge figures he can probably prevent what Sinister did from happening again (barring any extra surprises), and Ororo starts to feel hope... then Charles proves he's learned nothing from all this. Several times over for Piotr in issue #12, but alas, no hope in a Russian novel. Issue #13 as a whole suggests that with Cypher's condemnation the Quiet Council might be able to course correct before things get too bad. Then, quite suddenly, Krakoa grabs Doug and spirits him away. And in-between there and issue #14, Fall of X starts. | |

Emma informs The Quiet Council that Orchis villain Doctor Stasis is another version of Mister Sinister. The Daily Bugle publishes a front page story telling humanity that mutants now have Resurrective Immortality. In issue #12 Raven reveals to Irene she knows what her wife did in the Sinister timeline to "protect" her, and that she is furious. In issue #18, Xavier and Sinister's ghost discover Mother Righteous is the fourth Sinister clone, while the readers have known since just before Sins of Sinister. | |

Shout-Out: As with some of Gillen's other work, there are some musical references. The very first scene starts with one for Edward Elgar, with a reference to the Enigma Variations. That's swiftly followed by a more subtle shout-out to John Cale. The scene is captioned "Paris, 1919" and Essex is soon collapsed on the ground, repeating "You're a ghost" - the chorus of Cale's song Paris 1919. When Sinister's reinstalling his personality after the shock of discovering that Doctor Stasis is another version of himself, we get the following: In issue #4, Sinister's Multiple Man-empowered duplicates lead the Quiet Council on a wild goose chase. To confuse their pursuers, each duplicate proclaims, "I'm Spartacus!" - except for the one who shouts "I'm Brian!". | |

| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_c89b151b | comment |
Brainwash Residue: The lingering presence of Sinister inside Xavier's mind, as revealed at the end of #16, is revealed in the next episode to basically be this. While it turns out that Sinister's genetic code was purged from everyone else following the events of Sins of Sinister, thanks to the lingering genetic remnants of an old Mind Control attempt Sinister's consciousness was able to latch onto Xavier and control him when he was sleeping. However, Sinister himself describes it as "hanging on by [my] fingertips", as it's basically the broken-down remains of an old trick that Xavier has already defeated, and Sinister was only able to exploit it in any secretive way at all because Xavier had no idea he was there. He's forced to come clean and admit what he's been doing when Xavier finally learns what's been going on, and Xavier himself notes that the Sinister remnant won't even be able to control him while he's sleeping now that he's aware of it, as it's not strong enough to overcome any mental blocks that Xavier will immediately put up to stop it. Not that Xavier, who's been through a fair bit of trauma recently, has any intention of leaving it at that. | |

Taking You with Me | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_caf89e54 | comment |
Taking You with Me: In #17, on learning that he still has a remnant of Sinister within his consciousness (even a weak and largely powerless one), Xavier — who has already been driven to the brink by the destruction of Krakoa — reasons that he might as well make his final act on Earth to be ridding the world of any trace of Sinister once and for all. Fortunately for both of them, Sinister is able to convince him not to by revealing both just how powerless he is and that the Dominion-Sinister means that everyone has much bigger fish to fry, meaning they need to pull an Enemy Mine in order to defeat it. | |

"Eureka!" Moment: Destiny realizes that being in the White Hot Room means they're in a Place Beyond Time and thus outside the perception of any Dominion intellect to affect their actions. Unfortunately she can't do anything with this information as Mother Righteous takes the opportunity to attempt to kill her without listening. | |

Hypocrite | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: In issue #11, Ororo is at one point unsettled by Rasputin's rather aggressive (if understandable) self-righteousness towards the Quiet Council members infected by Sinister in Sins of Sinister. Her own self-righteousness throughout the issue is rather bluntly punctured by Emma towards the end, who points out that Ororo really has less cause to be getting high and mighty towards Xavier, herself and the others than she thinks considering that, in the Bad Future, things only got as bad as they did in large part because Ororo failed to notice anything was wrong for five years, until it was far too late. And that, for all her claims about "no thrones on Arakko", in that timeline she appears to have gotten rather comfortable with her people regarding her as some kind of god-monarch. What also goes unsaid (and is unknown to the two), but is also a factor, is that it is also revealed in the main event that the only reason the timeline lasted as long as it did was because Ororo secretly refused to reset it when she had the opportunity because of a hope that things might get better; they didn't, meaning that despite her best intentions Ororo also has some inadvertent but nevertheless direct responsibility for perpetuating the thousand years of horror everyone in that timeline suffered. | |

Bad Future | |
| Immortal X-Men (Comic Book) / int_deb39de3 | comment |
After suffering an issue of Ororo's self-righteousness over the whole "Sins of Sinister" debacle in #11, Emma gets her own back when she coolly but bluntly points out that Ororo, frankly, has no place whatsoever getting judgemental towards anyone else considering that, for all she was regarded as the hero in the Bad Future that resulted, the whole mess only occurred in large part because she was too divided between Krakoa and Arakko to notice anything was wrong for five years. And that furthermore, all the claims about "no thrones on Arakko" clearly ended up just being hypocritical waffle considering how comfortable Ororo clearly got with being worshipped as some kind of god-queen. Ororo is clearly seething when she's listening to it, but while she later rationalises it as Emma just lashing out she does also admit that the speech hit the target exactly. | |

Didn't See That Coming: Sinister's current plans hinge on Hope being on the Quiet Council, thus he's taken off-guard when Destiny casts a "no" vote when he predicts she would vote "yes" as thanks for the Five reviving her. According to Selene, Orchis's plan at the Hellfire Gala was send every Mutant to Mars, where they'd be stuck with Genesis. Instead the portals wind up sending most of Krakoa's population to the White Hot Room. | |

Slave to PR: One of the problems of being the Quiet Council is having to look the part of leaders in front of the rest of Krakoa. Obviously, for people like Mystique or Shaw, who couldn't care what anyone thinks of them, this isn't a problem. For Hope, however, it's more serious. Ororo manages to temporarily stop her attacking Exodus by pointing out everyone can see them. | |

Sinister believes she's bluffing but she follows through by animating the gate as a giant monster. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Sinister's usual flippant Large Ham demeanour falls apart when he discovers that Doctor Stasis is another version of him and he starts to doubt his own identity. In #17, the ghost version of Sinister inside Xavier's mind is a lot more honest and open about who he is and what he's doing than he usually is (though he's not entirely happy about it — "This radical transparency thing is highly overrated!"), freely admitting that yes, he is a dishonest backstabber out for himself, yes, he is superficial and lacking depth, and even yes, he is at the end of the day utterly outmatched by Xavier. Because he knows that the Sinister clone who achieves Dominion is a threat to everyone, including him. | |

That the issue ends with the reveal that Xavier has become corrupted by Sinister's personality, it becomes a Heroic Heelization Speech. | |

Murder Is the Best Solution: After Selene weasels her way onto the Quiet Council, Destiny obliquely hints that there is a way to invalidate her vote; kill her (since if Krakoa resurrects her she'll be subject to the same uncertainty as everyone else who's been resurrected). Exodus soon catches on and tries to do just that. | |
