I wonder how they decided that Rockslide would be the poor guy to take the L.
I'm thinking that the resurrection protocols will get jacked up by this event beyond what's set up here. When you've reached a point that death is treated so casually that they'd rather just die and revive than treat injuries they've clearly crossed a line and something will go terribly wrong.
I can't remember, has it been acknowledged within the books yet how kinda fucked the resurrection protocols are? Because they aren't actually bringing you back to life, they're creating a copy of you with identical memories. The Kitty Pryde who died in the ocean wasn't revived on Krakoa; the Kitty who drowned in the ocean is still there, drowned, and the one who Emma helped out of her egg on the island is an identical new body with an identical set of memories.
Somebody had to job, might as well be Rockslide...rip
The Ship of Theseus is a philosophical question for a reason. Just because you have a certain view on the correct answer to that question doesn't mean every piece of fiction you read is going to operate on that same answer.I can't remember, has it been acknowledged within the books yet how kinda fucked the resurrection protocols are?

The X-Factor issue post-XoS suggests exactly this, so I'm looking forward to December.I wonder how they decided that Rockslide would be the poor guy to take the L.

Objectively it's cloning. In-series, it's "resurrection".I can't remember, has it been acknowledged within the books yet how kinda fucked the resurrection protocols are?

I don't know if there's some sort of actual magic that makes the cloning actually resurrection, but I'm hoping we have more scenes down the line that lean into the ambiguity, like in Empyre with the two Explodey Boys.
I would actually say that the latest X Factor actually just disproves that's what's going on.I can't remember, has it been acknowledged within the books yet how kinda fucked the resurrection protocols are?

X-Treme X-Men it is, then.Theyre almost certainly gonna use that once they bring back Sabretooth. They probably need a few more of them to get corporal punishment first, but I have a big bunch that's a year two book for next fall.
I read it as they can only guarantee a proper backup if they die within this aspect of the universe. If they go to another universe or another dimension and die, then they might not be properly resurrected.X-Factor was rad, liked how they shook up the death protocol.
I guess that means that they really CAN'T accidentally create a clone of a living mutant given how Otherworld fucks with the backup somehow?
Hickman, what did you do to my boy!
You turned him into a homunculus!
I've been rocking with Rockslide and Anole from the jump! They already took Winddancer from me and sidelined Surge, Mercury, and Dust, so they're the only two I have left!Rockslide is up there with Glob in the "X kids who I don't want to see ever hurt"
I wasn't expecting to be sad like that
She'll summon Juggernaut and win.Man, I'm a little paranoid that Magik will lose her sword duel LOL
Moira likely dips out to Paris or Tokyo; she does have a portal to wherever in her No-Place. I doubt she's there most of the time and recreationally goes to where no one will recognize her. And with her being blind to mutant scans, she can go anywhere.Mags and X cold blooded with those words to a dying Apocalypse.
Man what does Moira do being by herself all the time? All in quarantine before it became cool.
Speaking of Moira and Poccy, he's gonna have to be made aware of her right, he was essentially the 3rd pillar for Moira. She needed to get him, Xavier and Magneto to work together. Maybe him getting broken down by this event is what leads to him meeting Moira and going along with her.
Prodigy is back and he has his powers.The Academy X kids always have it rough. Poor Santo he will be missed.
Speaking of. Did Prodigy get his powers back? Because if he has them back and still has his retain it all ability he's gonna be dangerous quick.
IIRC it was explained three parts are involved with rez:Wasn't part of the in-universe explanation that their 'soul' or whatever was attracted from the Astral plane during the process, so that it wasn't really cloning with identical memories?

He's a member of X-Factor; that's where they said his powers are back.Well he's been "back" ever since the 3-in-1 unlocked his stored skills. I just didn't recall if he got his actual powers back as well. Considering Academy X did a story where he nearly destroyed the world and created a dystopia when he could both absorb skills and keep them indefinitely wonder if we'll ever get a hint of that.
Lol. How did I miss that.He's a member of X-Factor; that's where they said his powers are back.
You were asleep!
I doubt we'll get to that point yet; we'll likely just have some characters be dead only to be cloned by Sinister later. Or maybe the amalgam persona could be sifted through in order to get the manifestation of the native version of each character to shine through.So this is how they're going to add stakes to this tournament. Interestingly, even though losing results in "true death," practically speaking, this might be an occasion to reintroduce the fallen as augmented versions of the X-men we all know; perhaps with a different expression of their power set.
They could always work around it by saying that Summoner has his true soul since he killed him and say he uses the souls of the things he kills to summon later.rockslides fate is terrifying
i have a bad feeling about this tournament

It makes far too much sense in retrospect. They've always hinted that Rockslide might just be some psychic entity inhabiting a rock and Hickman pretty much confirmed that Rockslide is an energy being inhabiting rock, so this could very well be some gaping flaw that was never accounted for since Santo is trapped in Otherworld and can't leave. And since he can't leave, he can't truly be recalled by Cerebro, and since he can't be recalled thanks to being tethered to Otherworld, Cerebro is instead drawing in other Santos.He might! That's the thing, there's pretty much always info we're missing.

Hmmm. Maybe the real problem was trying to bring a backup to life for a mutant still alive.
Mojoworld was never described as a nexus.Actually if dying into a world that is connected to multiple dimensions at once can corrupt the backup.
That means Wind Dancer is screwed. Mojoworld is connected to the entire multiverse as well. It's the only one in the entire multiverse so it might cause some problems.
Mojoworld was never described as a nexus.
The Negative Zone is the only one in the multiverse, and can be accessed from every universe in the multiverse, but it's not a nexus.
If you open a door and step into the hallway, the other door in front of you would lead to Mojoworld. Every other door in the hallway is pointing right at the door to Mojoworld too.
Otherworld is the hallway.
I think they lost that after they left Australia.That is a good point. It's funny getting to remember all this mystic stuff from Fall of the Mutants and Excalibur and how much like space opera, mysticism has been tied to the X-Men for a very long time. Starting with Island M and Belasco.
That does remind me. Roma gave those X-Men who sacrificed themselves to defeat Adversary invisible to recording devices. What happened to that gift?
That was well before my time since I didn't get back into comics until 2001-2002ish and everything before then was all super casual stuff and cartoons.If I remember correctly from so many years ago, the explanation was they lost that ability when they went through the Siege Perilous.
