X-Men: How will the story end for the mutants of Krakoa?
By Mark Lynch
The laws of Krakoa
In House of X No. 6, the Quiet Council created three simple rules: Make more mutants (procreate), kill no man (kill no humans), and “Respect this sacred land” (Krakoa). These laws seem pretty straight forward. However, these laws have already been broken.
No one was really shocked when that happened. In fact, you could probably guess who’s already broken one of them. Look no further than Hank “Beast” McCoy.
Of all the rules to break, Beast broke the “Respect this sacred land” law. If you’ve paid attention to Beast over the years, this isn’t surprising. He’s always done questionable things.
This time, he weaponized Krakoa. This goes against everything they wanted in Kraokoa- especially considering that this caused the death of some inhabitants of Terra Verde. This is also breaking the second rule of killing no humans.
Beast is lucky that X-Force works in the shadows. We don’t know what’s going to happen if the mutants find out that their “kill squad” is back and Xavier approves it. Therein lies another problem: Secrets.
You’d figure that Xavier and the rest would’ve learned their lesson by now. But these aren’t the only secrets. There are others that could tear down Krakoa and the X-Men from the inside.
