X-Men: The rise and possible fall of Krakoa

Sabretooth and The Pit

Victor Creed (Sabretooth) was the first person to get sent to The Pit in House of X No. 6. The Pit was a place where mutants who break the sacred Krakoa Laws would be punished. Creed became like the warden. A mistake that would blow up in the Quiet Council’s face.

While there, Creed became like the King of Hell in The Pit and convinced other mutant inmates that their incarceration wasn’t justified (he may have been right). Now, everyone has escaped and told their friends about what the Council does to mutants who don’t obey them. There was no trial or time to explain. They were just sentenced and punished. How very human of them.

Beast goes too far

Hank McCoy has been reckless before. Now that he’s been let off his leash, he’s been downright evil. Charles Xavier allowed Beast to do whatever he needed to keep Krakoa safe. This leads Beast to put his friends in position to be killed (X-Force Annual 2022), mind controlled Wolverine, and attempt to kill Logan’s friend and his daughter (Wolverine: Beast Agenda). Let’s not forget that he was experimenting on people in space (X-Force No. 35).

Now, Beast is running around the world killing humans that are mutant threats. Krakoa has named him an enemy of the state, but that won’t matter. The world will still look at him as a Krakoan threat. Even if they believed the reports, he’ll still be perceived as a dangerous mutant. Beast may have been trying to help, but he’s causing more harm than good.

These won’t be the last things that could possibly ruin Krakoa and make the X-Men’s lives harder.

Do you think the age of Krakoa is over for mutants? Will someone come and save the day?
