The State of Krakoan Nudity in X-Men #3, Excalibur #3 and Marauders #3 Today (Spoilers)

In House Of X, we learned that mutants, when brought back to life by The Five of Krakoa, are naked. And seem to remain naked when paraded in front of the rest of the population of Krakoa while everyone screams out that they are mutants. Rather than that they are naked. Does Krakoa need someone to look at the Emperor and point this out?

In today's Dawn Of X, we return to that theme. In Marauders, Sebastian Shaw brings back his son, Shenobi Shaw but, as any proud father would, he gives him a gown straight away.

Now we know that Debastian killed Shenobi the first time… but was brought back to life in X-Necrosha.

Before killing himself in the previous run of Uncanny X-Men, rather than be defeated and be captured.

Not that Shenobi seems to have any memories of this. But it's useful to put Sebastian Shaw's words into context…

While over in Excalibur, as Rictor is dealing with his own issues, it seems like nudity is being associated with Krakoa but the world population as well, as mutants are removing their 'human' clothes before going through the gate for the first time.

Maybe compulsory nudity will be added to the Krakoa constitution – tie it into that Make More Mutants edict?

There seems to be some discordance regarding how those gates are looking… over in Excalibur, the Central Park gate looks like this…

While in Marauders, it seems to have been militarised up…

Giving Shaw a chance to, well, make it look more like it looks in Excalibur.

Sebastian Shaw is a little more diplomatic over in X-Men #3/

With a new enemy of the mutants and Krakoa – villains with a point – who have their own interpretation of X-nudity as well. Or, at least, Emma Frost's continual flirtation with it.

Excalibur #3, X-Men #3, Marauders #3 are published by Marvel Comics today in all good comic shops. I bought mine from Piranha Comics in Kingston-Upon-Thames.
