X of Swords (Comic Book)	comment	X-Men: X of Swords note (pronounced Ten of Swords) is a 2020 Bat Family Crossover published by Marvel Comics, devised by Jonathan Hickman & Tini Howard and running throughout the entire Dawn of X line of X-Men titles: X-Men, Marauders, X-Force, Excalibur, New Mutants, Hellions, Cable, Wolverine, and X-Factor.The crossover marks the end of Dawn of X and leads into the next phase of the wider Krakoan Age storyline, the Reign of X.Once upon a time, Krakoa was a part of a larger island, Okkara, but an invading force of demons from the "black world" of Amenth tore the land in two, into Krakoa and Arrako. The mutants of Okkara, including their leader Apocalypse, fought the demons, but in the end, Apocalypse was forced to send Arrako (including his first Horsemen) off into Amenth and close the portal behind them.Now, Apocalypse found a way to open a new portal and rescue the mutants of Arrako...but it turns out that they don't want to be rescued. Over a thousand years of living in Amenth has turned his first Horsemen against him and together with the leader of Amenth, Annihilation, they plan to invade Krakoa and Earth. But first they must cross Otherworld — and before they can do that, the leader of Otherworld, Opal Luna Saturnyne, insists that a tournament be fought between Krakoa and Arrako. A tournament of swords. Ten swords for each of Krakoa and Arrako's champions.

X of Swords (Comic Book) / int_15b2cab3	comment	Tempting Fate: While running from the Horsemen's attack, Beast makes the profoundly idiotic move of asking out loud whether it could get worse. Pestilence then shoots Rictor with one of her arrows. Subverted when, declining Saturnyne's repeated offer to retake his mantle as Captain Britain, Brian says he "trusts she won't go to pieces", which is British for "you'll survive this disappointment". In the first match of the tournament, Betsy literally breaks into pieces.

X of Swords (Comic Book) / int_16ddefda	comment	Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Issue 14 of Marauders has Logan deciding to get drunk at Saturnyne's party in anticipation of the fighting to come after. He gets drunk enough to act like a jerkass to his friends, wrongfully accusing Brian, a married man, of causing the fight children might die in because he wouldn't have sex with Saturnyne, even though the prophecy was already underway by then (and all sleeping with her would have gotten is him personally being spared). The issue ends with him seemingly stabbing Saturnyne in a rage, though this was later revealed to be a hallucination. This ruins any chance of Brian managing to talk Saturnyne into disqualifying Arakko for War attempting to poison Logan.

While she does ultimately end the event in a stronger position than ever and escapes any punishment or reprisal for her actions, she fails to get the one thing she truly wanted: Brian Braddock is still not Captain Britain and far from loving her, now distrusts her more than ever due to correctly suspecting she had a role in Betsy's apparent death. To rub salt in the wound, the spell that she used to restore the Captain Britain Corps winds up backfiring, and as a result the new Corps is made up of multiversal equivalents of Betsy Braddock, a woman she despises and had gotten rid of to ensure that Brian could re-inherit the title.

The White Sword of the Celestial Spire is one of the Swordbearers of Arakko — but he makes it clear, even from the start, that he's fulfilling an obligation, not following a cause he believes in. His actions during the contest then serve to destroy Arakko's massive lead (and after the first of his champions fell, he couldn't claim ignorance that it would be judged in this way), and once the contest is over he simply takes his army and leaves rather than joining the forces fighting the Krakoans.

She drags out the real Pogg, a short fat old man, and hammers him with a massive uppercut. The Hellions get slaughtered by Arakko mutant plunderers, the Locus Vile.

As well, Wolverine's fight with Summoner ends with Wolverine stabbing him in the eye, but Saturnyne grants the point to Arakko because "to the death" meant "first one to die wins", a rule which in itself is a huge middle finger to the man she's been referring to as "deathless one", all along subtly acknowledging that this would be the sort of fight he cannot win.

How Apocalypse ends the cycle of demonic possession by Annihilation. Instead of trying to overcome Annihilation by Heroic Willpower (something other wearers of the Golden Helm of Amenth tried and all failed to do), Apocalypse surprises Annihilation by quickly surrendering to Saturnyne.

Part 15 has Cypher get married. When Saturnyne is making her declaration, we are shown the S.W.O.R.D. Space Station just as she says "Raise. Your. Sword."

It's an in-joke for long-time hardcore Marvel comic fans, as Gorgon, during his time as a villain, was shown to have the sexual fetish of petrophilia I.e. turning women to whom he was sexually attracted (mostly his subordinates in HYDRA) into literal statues using his mutant power. This was in the Secret Warriors series by current head X-writer Jonathan Hickman.

X of Swords (Comic Book) / int_a5e02e9e	comment	Infinity +1 Sword: The focus of the series. Both sides of the conflict are in a race to gather their swords after discerning who the champions named by Saturnyne's prophecy are. Skybreaker, a sword made of pure vibranium, in fact the first weapon made of vibranium. It took months of forging at the peak of a volcano by its blacksmith and his children, and began the base of Wakandan knowledge on vibranium's applications as well as its effects on organic tissue. It amplifies all energy it interacts with, making extended exposure to living tissue toxic, but these effects can be insulated with even a thin layer of material. Furthermore, in spite of said effects on living tissue, extended contact with dead tissue just makes it Stronger with Age. In the present, the leather and wood in its handle has become stronger than steel. The Light of Galador is a seemingly endless source of energy with enough power to terraform an entire planet. Cable can use his telekinesis and weaponize some of its power as energy blasts. The Starlight Sword was forged by Saturnyne from the walls of the Starlight Citadel itself. She intended it for Brian as her champion of the new Captain Britain Corps, but Betsy manages to get it instead. Apocalypse has Scarab, a khopesh forged by his sister-in-law Isca, an invincible mutant, as a wedding gift. The Khopesh was made in four parts to celebrate each of Apocalypse's children and is composed of Red-Gold Iron rendered from royal Uhari blades (Uhari being an aquatic merpeople kingdom on Earth that's the rival to Atlantis). The Champions of Krakoa only had 9 swords (Grasscutter/Godkiller are considered a single set for the competition) compared to Arrako's full 10. Turns out the final sword for Krakoa is the previously abandoned S.W.O.R.D space station. The base dwarfs even Saturnyne's citadel in size and S.W.O.R.D was one of the deciding factors in the final battle between Krakoa and Amenth/Arrako.

As the surviving champions of Krakoa are facing off against the armies of Arakko and the hordes of Amenth, all seems hopeless... and then Jubilee arrives, leading the Priestesses of the Green. And then the reborn Captain Britain Corps arrives, all of whom are alternate reality counterparts of Betsy Braddock, including versions of her as men, a gorilla, a werewolf, a velociraptor, a dragon, a lizardwoman, a swan, an owl, a dove, and even a frog. And then the X-Men — pretty much all of them except Kurt, Kate, and Emma — make a Dynamic Entry in the S.W.O.R.D. orbital space station. And when even that isn't enough... Cable opens the portal to unleash the Vescora.

According to Betsy this is because she intended to drive them apart, while underestimating their love and loyalty to each other. She's equally taken aback when Betsy hijacks another scheme and resurrects the Captain Britain Corps with Betsy's identity rather than Brian's. Saturnyne is then impressed at Apocalypse's choice of Arrako (and its millions of imprisoned mutants) for the peace exchange, she mentioned she hadn't anticipated that.

When Wolverine kills Summoner, Saturnyne awards the point to Arrako, since Summoner was the one who fought "to the death." Similarly, Cable and Bei's fight to the death ends with the former at Bei's mercy, at which point Cypher steps in and persuades his new wife to spare him on the basis that the trauma Cable will sustain qualifies as the death of his spirit. At the conclusion of the event Saturnyne demands that both sides exchange mutants as a sign of good faith. Apocalypse chooses the mutant island Arakko, meaning it and all the mutants that reside on it will go to Earth.

It amplifies all energy it interacts with, making extended exposure to living tissue toxic, but these effects can be insulated with even a thin layer of material. Furthermore, in spite of said effects on living tissue, extended contact with dead tissue just makes it Stronger with Age.
