Wilson Fisk And The X-Men

Intended to mirror the Met Ball, the Hellfire Gala is a chance for the mutant island of Krakoa and home to the X-Men to show off to the rest of the world, put a best foot forward and announce something extraordinary. As well as a new X-Men team.

And this year, embracing its first non-mutant of the Krakoan era, Juggernaut. Step-brother of Charles Xavier, Cain Marko, was one of the X-Men's first villains, but he has joined with Krakoa and down his best to redeem himself.

Giving us a brand new team led by Synch and Talon, with Prodigy, Cannonball, Frenzy, Jubilee, Dazzler and the Juggernaut. And drawn by Russell Dauterman, who drew previous election scenes in the Hellfire Gala.

That's before Marvel does the dury and Nimod, the mutant massacring machine from (one of) the future, now hijacked by the anti-mutant lobby group Orchis, who proceed to carry out a full-blown assault on the island of Krakoa.

Never been so appropriate as Nimrod is ripping and pulverising some of the newly elected X-Men. Talon seems to rescue Synch, but that's a legless Cannonball, an armless Dazzler, and a liquidised Jubilee and Frenzy right there. And resurrection possibilities are also taken off the map.
