Professor Xavier, The X-Men And The Legacy Of Krakoa (XSpoilers)

Today, Marvel Comics publishes X-Men #4, Extraordinary X-Men #4 and Mystique #3, but everyone wants in with the X. Such as Bullseye over in Spider-Boy who seems to display one more arm that he currently has in Daredevil.

And Timeslide #1 is all about the X, bringing back Tempus from the White Hot Room with the rest of the Krakoan refugees, even though she hasn't actually left them yet. Timey-wimey…

The world after Krakoa is a temperamental place. People did stuff there they might not have done elsewhere and are now having to deal with it. So what of Professor X, held in Greymalkin Prison?

Cyclops has an unexpected response.

And he can back that up.

He's not alone in this. We previously looked how Kitty Pryde had become a cold hard ninja killer in the Fall Of X and it seems that she might have also realised a disconnect there…

Yup, she really did. Lots of Orchis operatives. It was quite a thing. No wonder she is not picking up to Rogue either.

But what you really need to make things all better is a quip or two. It could be a base insult from a Sentinel to Magneto and back again.

The bad guys can throw them around as well.

And just as mean spirits can be raised in battle so can… other emotions.

And what seems like a challenge for some…

Can be an opportunity to grow…

And while we remember how Krakoa began…

Cyclops is keen to keep this in the past.

Of course not all dreams are positive ones…

But whether Cyclops wants it or not, Xavier is out.

And there is a Manhunt coming. Is that has XVS really means? Xavier Vs X-Men? Still, it could be worse.
