Anyway the funniest thing about this chapter is that it sets off the asspull alarms, we're full steam ahead to whatever dumb poo poo undoes all of these consequences.
I can see the Heroes Rising Quirkshare thing coming into play.

Honestly a finale that tied heavily into the Quirk Singularity with AFO being the weird chimera of abilities angle and OFA being the unimaginable uncontrolled power bit clashing and cancelling out or something would have been cool.

Deku becoming the Greatest Hero because he punched a dude real hard / defeated The Greatest Villain is pretty lame

Stars and Stripes blocks ShigAFO from being able to stop the rewind so they just Singularity themselves into oblivion seems pretty dumb but I'm sure the actual ending will be way worse.

Also, over in X-Men, Magneto recently had his heart torn out by Thanos's paler, Eviler Daddy, and he got over it by using his Quirk Mutant Powers to keep his blood circulating... somehow

All Might’s whole speech during that fight is “if you’re built to withstand me at 100%, then I’ll just punch you at 110%!”

In essence, punch harder
TFW you realize WHM was supposed to give Deku his own Nomu moment but it was just kinda dumb.

The new Xmen poo poo sucks rear end.
The core X of X series from 2019 really did redefine the Mutant population and created a unifying Mutant Culture that is both horny and hedonistic and proud as all gently caress.

Maybe the stuff that followed hasn't been as good, but it was a really good retooling of the line.

I would welcome panel shots of these X-Men events people are talking about if anyone feels like sharing them as well
I would suggest checking out Comics Explained House of/Powers Of X complete story if you can stomach tubers. Dude goes into good detail laying it all out.

The condensed version is: Mutant Kind lives on sentient island Krakoa. Mutant kind has conquered death after bringing together 5 mutants with specific powers to grow/accelerate/nurture/birth mutant that have perished. Charles runs a 24/7 Cerebro backup of all mutants. everyone is welcome on Krakoa. everyone.
They've also developed a Wonder Drug that cures human diseases and biogates that lead to and from Krakoa that are genelocked to only those with Xgenes. They are a sovereign nation. They are a world superpower. And they have told humanity that they will gently caress Them Up if they do anything dumb.

Here's some spoilery panels for the reboot:



This is the Quiet Council, the official governing body of Krakoa. There's some kind of fractional logic going on, where you basically have sets of 3 to represent an aspect of Mutantkind/mutant interests. Everyone has an agenda in addition to trying to keep Krakoa working.
You'll notice that the Governing Body has a fanatical geneticist, genocidal mutancy advocate(s), and Mystique, among others.


Towards the end of the book, with Krakoa established as a sovereign island nation, Charles and Erik share a moment.

But...

Erik knows we've been here before. He knows that utopia, paradise, etc is a false promise. What if they fail?

Then they fail. Then they die.

They will never die. Mutants are a post-death species.


And as if a lot of the threads coming together didn't scream BAD IDEA HERE GUYS, here we have Apocalypse braking with pride over mutant kind coming around to his ideal vision.

He's just so proud of 'em.


Krakoa, and all it promises, gives everyone a chance to bury old rivalries. The whole Wolverine/Cyc/Jean thing? They're an open throuple-- Jeans living quarters have access doors to both Scott and Logan's rooms. It's a new groovy world, baby.

And she's to blame for it

Moira McTaggert. Moira X. Moira of the X lives. Moira who lived life to an old age and died unceremoniously, Moira who lived to the end of the Earth as it was swallowed by the Technarchy, Moira who betrayed Mutantkind with a Cure to the XGene, Moira who taught alongside Apocalypse in a valiant last stand against the Sentinels. Moira who brought Erik and Charles together to build Krakoa... And whose final life depends on mutant kind finally winning.

To be fair, that's like saying "So you just GAVE Orochimaru an evil science lab and left him alone because.... Why?"

Also we just let Mister Sinister hang out and do Mister Sinister things uninterrupted despite the fact that he's not even a Mutant.

"Hey so you're saying at some point Sinister poisons mutant genetics and creates chimera mutants that self-terminate horribly? Wow. Thank goodness that's not gonna happen this time around, what with all the access we give him to raw mutant genetic samples... Hey waiiiiiii"

I have no idea who Moira is, I'm that far out of the loop on comic characters.
She was a supporting character on the Fox Cartoon in the 90s. Her boyfriend was Banshee and she was a Muir Island mutant genetics researcher.

In the comics she had a kid who had crazy reality-bending powers named Proteus, and was generally one of the human allies of the X-Men.

Anyway, it's pretty much been taken for granted that Moira was a human through all of the X-Men's publication history. The current storyline gives her a very unique mutant power that makes all of the X-Men's weird future stuff and softboots Canon: upon death, Moira's mutant power allows her to restart her life from the time in the womb, complete with previous memories and adult thinking capacity. She gets 9 or 10 of these reboots.

it seemed Cyclops had morphed into mutant Che Guevara, which seemed interesting, but not enough to bring me back.
Cyclops and 4 others get Phoenix powers and then he murders Professor X, loses the cool powers, loses control of his own optic blasts for a bit, gets a cool redesign where there's a big X on his face instead of the visor, goes full Mutant Rights Activist, creates a(nother) safe haven for Mutantkind, then some other poo poo until this reboot continuity thing where he's like an active family man with Jean, Teen Cable, Hope Summers, Rachel Summers, and I think Havok. Oh and Uncle Logan, who Jean sometimes goes to when she has one of her headaches.

The spirit of OF A Ranger 1 grabs AFO's soul and sends him to the Negazone.

The blast destroys Midoriya's Quirk genes and leaves him powerless, but he becomes AllNight by using gadgets.
