Wolverine skeletons are being used

Marvel comic: X-Men No. 22

The resurrection protocols have been a gift to mutants. Unlike most civilizations, mutants conquered death. When it comes to Wolverine, however, he isn’t just resurrected. Adamantium has to be added to his skeleton and claws. The problem is that Logan’s been killed more times than most people know and his skeletons have been abandoned all over the world and with Orchis (where he’s died multiple times). Now, enemies of the X-Men have been using his unbreakable skeleton and claws for their own plans. This isn’t just dangerous. It’s also a media disaster if the public finds out.

Orchis is sabotaging mutant pills

Marvel comic: X-Men No. 22

One of the perks of Krakoa becoming a nation are the pills they produce. The medicine gives regular people an extended life and eliminates illnesses that cause deterioration of the mind. Of course, enemies of the X-Men are using this to make mutants look bad.

Orchis created a frequency that’s caused humans taking the pills to fatally hurt themselves. The irony shouldn’t be lost on readers. The people protecting humans from mutants are the ones that are actively killing humans. Then again, this is what happens when you’re working with one of Mr. Sinister’s clones and M.O.D.O.K. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Especially with Fall of X coming in a month.
