X-Men: How will the story end for the mutants of Krakoa?
By Mark Lynch
The Villains
Let’s not forget the other villains on this island. Oh sure, they all may be playing nice and enjoying life now, but what happens when they aren’t? What happens when they want to return to their villainous ways?
Gorgon was once someone who reveled in killing; now he’s part of Krakoa’s Great Captains of Krakoa. He has the job of advancing the Krakoan military. He says that he’s seen the error of his ways and is proud to be led by people like Xavier, Magento, and Apocalypse. Can this last forever? Will he restore his blood feud with Wolverine? We’ll have to wait and see.
Then there’s Nathaniel Essix a.k.a. Mr. Sinister. He’s never going to be out for anyone except for himself. It’s just his nature. In fact, there’s a solid chance that he probably only became a member of the Quiet Council because it suits his needs. What happens when it doesn’t suit his needs? And for that matter, who knows what he’s up to when no one is looking. He could be stealing the DNA of every mutant on Krakoa and creating some sort of monster. Sinister is that kind of villain. He’s never to be trusted. However, it’s doubtful anyone actually believes that his smiles are true and sincere.
