So here's a question

In theory, could the resurrection technique that krakoa is using also work on all humans if they programmed cerebro to backup their minds and had sinister get their DNA?

Or was there something explained in the books about why it only works for mutants

thats Emma's "bombshell" imo, she told them about Ressurection and that they can extend it to humans.

Excited for Inferno! At 160 pages across 4 issues, that's not a lot but it also means the issues are double sized. A little over half the length of HoX/PoX. This is definitely a climax for Reign of X rather than the end of Hickman's run. Dawn started with HoX/PoX and concluded with XoS. Reign has the Hellfire Gala and will end with Inferno. 2022 will probably be the big turning point where Hickman either initiates the endgame or extends the run. We could be looking at a 3 year plan, a 5 year plan, or even a 10 year plan. He has said that he has ideas which are flexible previously. By next year we'll know more about that direction.

Oh shit yeah, the fireworks being the resurrection capabilities and them being potentially offered to humanity would fit very well with that.
Like the offer of some life extending drugs brought them a nation, resurrection is that deal x1000 and would effectively buy them world dominion as humanity depends on them fir effective immortality.
Hell the guy that rolled up with the logic crystals to make it happen does so saying "congrats on conquering the earth".

From my admittedly small memory of Dark Beast that guy was self aware of what a monster he was right?
This Beast is using his mutation primarily to pat himself on the back over how amazing and goodly smart he is lol.

Beast's intelligence is not related to his mutation.

His mutation is his agility, strength, oversized hands and feet. He then was mutated further into the furry form due to a serum he created.

Nah, can't blame Dark Beast. Hank got desperate post-Decimation and then got comfortable. I think he even out Dark Beasts Dark Beast back when they had their secret partnership.

I need to re-read HoX/PoX to see if they ever mention House of M. I'm ready it now and the whole thing might aswell be a pre-Krakoa mutant domination plan in itself, not unlike what Moira and her two boyfriends ultimately want.

Im aware lol, the joke was that that enhanced agility makes patting himself on the back an easy task.

You ever actually try doing that? Its pretty awkward.

Are we supposed to know where the Sinister from the end of Hellions is from?

Edit: Oh shit, it's the one from X of Swords that got captured by the Locus Vile.

Well I don't remember Solem being the Reign of X teaser promo so it may be another minute until we see him. Wolverine's book has been stuck on vampires for... it's entire run so... Stop hogging the spotlight Dracula! Sevelith are my best friends now, you aren't cool anymore old man.

The influx of players during the weekend does wonders for the the quality of matches. Must of done a good 30 matches today and all were of good quality as far as I can tell.

First time I ever bother looking into frame data in a fighting game, while it feels like A LOT to learn I already feel like I've made progress just by looking at how safe is my stuff on block. My pressure game up close got a bit more decent I feel. At least I managed to beat a couple of Hunter and higher opponents.

I...I...I vaguely seem to recall some of these terms from the long long ago when I frequented a place called "The Gaming Side"

Moira and Destiny (and possibly Mystique) definitely planned all of this in a previous life.
It would be super interesting if they engineered this situation just to bring Xavier and Magneto down a peg. X-Force refers to Beast having a god complex, but these two definitely have a god complex.

Opening resurrection to humanity makes no sense from a political or economic standpoint.
Especially when they can already do it.

I mean, how do you all think Black Widow came back? They cloned her and used a telepath to download her memories back into her brain with the intent of having certain memories deleted to make her loyal to Russia and the Red Room. But the guy doing the backups liked her too much and kept her intact, likewise with Yelena Boliva, who's also currently alive due to Krakoa like resurrection.

Sure, he's dead now because Nat mercy killed him, but if dubious organizations can clone Black Widow and keep backups, not to mention all of the weird ass weapons ORCHIS and XENO have already made, they could've cloned that dude too.

Yeah, so despite saying X-Men #12 is in Dawn of X vol. 16, it does not actually have it in there. I have the X of Swords book which has it there so whatever, but I just thought it was kind of funny

Lost it at the "suprise cameo" in today's issue of X-men.

I imagine a lot of WHAT DOES THIS MEAN posts from CBR and the usual suspects.

Children of the Atom was really good this week, and I haven't liked it much overall in previous issues.

Excalibur. Quiet issue, who was that little red riding hood girl in the background?
Wisdom looked great! Drunk Nightcrawler will never not be fun (I guess we will see more on Way of X). Rachel and Betsy was a sweet moment, liked that.

They are not giving humans the ability to resurrect lol.

I think that tease at the end of X-Men #21 was that mutants are going to Mars to expand. The Hellfire Gala Hardcover standard edition cover is similar, but you can make out Magneto and Jean on a floating X asteroid.

And thats going to be why people leave all flustered.

My thoughts as well. I think they're going to colonize Mars, or something similar. Namor's speech at the start about ruling 70% of Earth, the Sinister secret about the number of councils orbiting the sun being more than two, and the fact that the next red issue is "planet-size" X-men hint at something like that.

Mars being a thing was going to come eventually. Hickman didn't reference the Ex Nihilo garden from his Avengers run in the very beginning of this whole Krakoa era for no reason!

Good thing is, the X-Men have less work to do because of the garden already on the planet.

I really liked X-Men this issue. A lot of interesting things occurring, and Hickman really loves Namor and his Illuminati doesn't he?
