| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) | comment |
The Krakoan Age is a Retool of the Marvel Comics in the X-Men franchise, initially pioneered by Jonathan Hickman.Set in the shared Marvel Universe, it starts with two linked mini-series, House and Powers of X. After decades of mistreatment and hatred from humanity, the majority of mutantkind (heroic, villainous, and everything in between) gather together as a people to form the island nation of Krakoa, initially under the leadership of Magneto and Professor X, to ensure the future of their species. Krakoa ushers in a new era of prosperity for mutants, especially since they found a way to bring the dead back to life. However, Krakoa also holds some deep, dark secrets, especially concerning Moira MacTaggert.The Krakoan age is separated into multiple mini-eras. Dawn of X set up the initial status quo, Reign of X allowed mutantkind to revel in their success, Destiny of X (which follows the Inferno series and Hickman's departure) brings old secrets and lies back to haunt Krakoa's founders, Fall of X, brings much of Krakoa's status quo crashing down, as the mutants' enemies strike against the new nation, launching a Darkest Hour arc and the final phase Fall of the House of X, which is continuation of Fall of X, sees the mutants strike back against their enemies, being a final conclusion to the entire Krakoan Era.The whole X-Men line is relaunched again after the end of the Krakoan Age, this time (at least initially) under "From the Ashes" branding.Main arcs and events within The Krakoan Age: House and Powers of X Dawn of X X of Swords Reign of X Hellfire Gala Inferno (2021) Destiny of X Judgment Day Dark Web Sins of Sinister Revenge of the Brood Before the Fall Fall of X Ghost Rider/Wolverine: Weapons of Vengeance Fall of the House of X | |

Dragon Ascendant | |
| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_286eaf85 | comment |
Dragon Ascendant: Mr. Sinister debuted in the 1980s and sporadically appeared as the Big Bad for some events, then was revealed in the 1990s to have been transformed into his eerie pale appearance by "bigger" bad Apocalypse. Come The Krakoan Age and Apocalypse turning a new leaf, Sinister's stock goes way up, becoming the secret threat in both Destiny of X and Fall of X, with the reveal of the existence of four Sinister clones and later of the original Nathaniel Essex becoming a Dominion, an überstructure/entity that exists beyond time and space, as explained in the dual mini-series House of X/Powers of X. | |

Crapsaccharine World | |
| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_3b79029a | comment |
Crapsaccharine World: While not straightforwardly dystopic, critics such as Wolverine and Abigail Brand have expressed rightful revulsion towards the number of shortcuts, compromises, and foundational flaws of Krakoa. Formerly heroic characters like Hank McCoy have gone mad with pride, mutant separatist essentialism is tacitly encouraged, and the disquieting and supposedly "humane" prison it has not only fails to deter villains like Sinister from committing atrocities anyway, it's also prone to being corrupted and taken over by those held in it as seen with Sabretooth. | |

Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering: The Quiet Council is made up of Magneto, Professor X, Mr. Sinister, Emma Frost, Sebastian Shaw, and a variety of other powerful mutants that have frequently been at each other's throats over the years. Despite the immense power they all wield, they're almost always voting against one another for petty spite. | |

All Your Powers Combined: A recurrent theme of the era is the notion of "mutant circuits", that is, mutants combining their powers to achieve new and unique results. One of the more important ones is the Five, five mutants that combine their powers to bring dead mutants back to life. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: As always with the X-men, the rest of the world is full of hatred for mutants and this only grows moreso with the fact they've transformed themselves into their own superpower. Many nations that were ambivalent about mutants before have begun active wetworks operations against them because they fear the potential power that mutants can wield (that only grows after Mars is terraformed). | |

| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_5c17c12f | comment |
Bribing Your Way to Victory: Krakoa only gets as far as it does by the fact that it is producing vast numbers of life-saving drugs that it leverages against the rest of the world to recognize its sovereignty. The importance of the drugs to maintaining the country's position will remain an issue throughout. | |

Textplosion | |
| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_72d2da56 | comment |
Textplosion: Played with, as from the very start of the relaunch, Jonathan Hickman accompanied the usual comic pages with 'data pages'. Some are pure text (e.g. emails, reports and diary entries). Some also use charts (e.g. the organization structure for Orchis). Many are Conveniently Interrupted Documents, with Classified Information redacted. Other writers followed Hickman's lead and this became a standard feature of Krakoan Age comics. | |

Hazy-Feel Turn | |
| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_76d167c0 | comment |
Hazy-Feel Turn: A great deal of the characterization of former X-villains deals with whether or not they are reformed or just temporarilly allied with Krakoa. This ranges from Apocalypse to former MLF members like Tempo. It turns out to be individualized as some are plotting against their fellow mutants, some are genuinely reformed, and some remain evil but are happy to ally with their former enemies. | |

Ambiguously Evil | |
| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_853b7948 | comment |
Ambiguously Evil: Something isn't right with Charles Xavier. He already wasn't exactly a saint, doing some very repugnant acts for what he thought was the greater good, but now he's given up on his dream of human-mutant coexistence and seeks isolationism, also using some suspiciously smug and xenophobic wording and giving off the vibe that he wants mutants to rule the world. This, combined with other shady shit that he does, gives off the vibe that he's become a straight-up villain. It turns out that he was just faking it because he wanted to appear strong for the others and believed Krakoa was the only alternative to genocide. Xavier faking his belief in mutant superiority was actually revealed as early as the House and Powers of X where Namor refused to join him on Krakoa because he could tell that Xavier didn't truly believe mutants are better and that humans hated them because of their superiority. Namor explicitly tells Xavier to leave and only come back when he really meant it. Apocalypse develops this attitude as we finally get a Freudian Excuse for his Social Darwinist nature as see him achieve his lifelong ambition to reunite with his family. He turns into A Lighter Shade of Black as he sees so many of his former allies have become monsters. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: Reading through all the comics it's kind of obvious that due to his desperation to avoid the genocides of Moira's past lives, Charles Xavier made decisions that he wouldn't have made with a clearer head and without her manipulations. These decisions include working with villainous mutants which ultimately only gives Krakoa's enemies ammunition, and skipping some vital steps in creating a nation such as ensuring they have a proper laws and a proper judicial system, both of which they essentially made up as they went along, creating a window for all kinds of abuse. Xavier really is smart enough to know better and both these things subsequently feed directly into Krakoa's collapse. | |

Arc Number | |
| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_9203bf6 | comment |
Arc Number: The number five has been recurrent, a Call-Back to the original five X-Men and how that grouping has repeated throughout the history of the team. Ten (X in Roman numeral) and its multiples (100 and 1,000) also recur at some points during this era. | |

Greater-Scope Villain | |
| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: Orchis is a looming threat over Krakoa even as they deal with other threats like Annihilation or Homines Verendi. Orchis' creating Nimrod is considered by Moira to be an existential threat to mutantkind. | |

A Day in the Limelight: A lot of the characters ignored by the X-Men for a long time get prominent roles that they normally wouldn't have (usually because they were dead). | |

And Man Grew Proud | |
| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_afebbd7 | comment |
And Man Grew Proud: This part of X-Men history all but begins with Magneto calling mutants mankind's new gods. They don't get much better from there, with human-mutant relations remaining just as bad if not becoming worse among civilians and even superheroes now that mutants have a seemingly invincible sovereign nation to call home so they don't have to be as nice or polite as they used to be. The Quiet Council's inability to wisely govern feeds into a number of calamitous events such as Dark Web and Judgment Day (Marvel Comics) before precipitating into the aptly titled Fall of X. | |

Moral Myopia | |
| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_b42b7e7b | comment |
Moral Myopia: A recurring irony are people expressing disdain at racists, balking at working with Hydra in Orchis, while simultaneously rationalizing their belief that mutants are actually deserving of racial discrimination and genocide. | |

| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_b532f68b | comment |
Everybody Has Lots of Sex: As a consequence of having all their needs taken care of, Krakoa becomes this for the majority of mutants out of boredom as well as the tropical paradise-like atmosphere. Unfortunately, it leads to a lot of unwanted pregnancies. | |

We ARE Struggling Together: Zig-Zagged. The mutants have made significant overtures to their worst enemies and many of them have accepted an alliance. However, this doesn't prevent said enemies from pursuing their own agendas and frequently acting against the others. | |

Serial Escalation | |
| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_ce104b8e | comment |
Serial Escalation: From Xavier's school to the reformed Genosha to Utopia, a sanctuary for mutants has been tried before but the Krakoan Age is a humongous swing at the concept as it sees the X-Men doing drastic things to establish it as a global superpower including allying themselves with former foes such as Mister Sinister and Apocalypse. | |

Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence | |
| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_d0a09849 | comment |
Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence: The Krakoa Arc puts in sharp relief just how many individuals will never tolerate mutants even existing as they almost all move to an island in the middle of the Pacific and disengage from the world save giving life-giving medicines. Nevertheless, they undergo constant attacks by outside forces determined to wipe them out. | |

| X-Men: The Krakoan Age (Comic Book) / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: Despite having a strong tribalist stance to the point that portals to Krakoa won't even work for non-mutants without some tweaking, the Quiet Council is fine with certain individuals like Mister Sinister and the Juggernaut living on the island provided they behave, in spite of the fact that they're not mutants. | |

Audience Participation: Fans were encouraged to vote for characters who should join Krakoa's X-Men team, with the results mirrored in-universe by the Hellfire Gala elections. The editorial team have stated that this helped to shape some parts of the wider arc, as the chosen characters opened up new story opportunities. | |
