Summary of the monumental UNCANNY X-MEN #700's closure of the Krakoan era.

Mystique and Destiny have had quite the Age Of Krakoa. Former mutant terrorists, Mystique worked with Krakoa, undertaking dangerous shape-shifting missions against Orchis, in return for the resurrection of her wife, Destiny. Which Moira Mactaggert was determined never to give, so Mystique took it anyway, vowing to burn down Krakoa. But now? Revealed as the parents of Nightcrawler, and stitching back the mutant nation from the White Hot Room, it looks as if they are staying on Earth rather than joining Krakoa.

And even considering a return to the past for their future.

Mystique is the original Sherlock Holmes, and Destiny is the original Irene Adler, of course. There is business to be dealt with, of course, such as a certain stabbing on Krakoa purely to deprive the Quiet Council of a vote.

And let's not forget her getting handy herself in the White Hot Room in front of Kafka.

Destiny does certainly get stabbed a lot. but now?

This time we lose a Sinister. And no more resurrection, remember? Now only Mister Sinister is on the loose… but as for Mystique and Destiny?

It's all up in the air. I mean, can't they go back to being detective consultants? Or consulting detectives? The magickal right-wing fate of Britain still hasn't been addressed at the end of Krakoa. Someone should pop along to Baker Street to sort it out, surely? Expect plenty more X-Men #35 coverage today!
