The Changing Face Of Krakoan Resurrection In Today's X-Men Comics

There are rules. Rules are meant to be broken, or at least bent out of shape. Bend them too much however and you'll be in The Pit, Welcome to Krakoa Shore, the new reality TV show set on the mutant paradise of Krakoa and its neighbouring planets, pocket dimensions, dimensional divergences and hell domains that border it via a series of well placed Krakoan gates. When they aren't being turned into Kaiju that is. So how have things been changing today? Well, the big difference between pre and post-Krakoa on mutants is that they can not get resurrected after they die. Properly, officially, courtesy of Professor X, Cerebro and the mutants known as The Five. But… there have been complications.

Danger is creating lots and lots of robot Wolverines rather than going the fleshy route.

While Mister Sinister is also creating new bodies through his own genetic experiments, no Five required.

While some mutant deaths are even planned for, safe in the knowledge that resurrection will be fast and automatic.

Or even used as a way to extract information from an unwilling mutant.

Is everyone taking notes? There will be a quiz…

But the resurrection protocols have courted the attention of folks you didn't want to court. Defined as excessive deviancy, the Eternals are coming to commit genocide…
