Would You Kill Moira As A Thirteen-Year-Old? X-Men Vs Orchis Spoilers

X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #131, Rise Of The Powers Of X #3, Cable #3, Wolverine #46, X-Force #50, and a spot of Amazing Spider-Man #46

The X-Men eternal battle against Orchis continues this week across the X-Men books. With X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #131, Rise Of The Powers Of X #3, Cable #3, Wolverine #46, X-Force #50, and a spot of Amazing Spider-Man #46 all pitching in. Though it begins when the media are in receipt of a couple of Cable communications.

Un Amazing Spider-Man, Anna Watson is home, after her ownm ordela with Orchis-infected Krakoan medicine.

X-Force are heading to Orchis-controlled Krakoa.

As are the Sabretooth Revenge Squad in Wolverine…

And information becomes the most powerful weapon in this fight.

But where did all this begin? Rise Of The Powers Of X #3 lays out the main timeline of Moira Mactaggert's recent life, and how Orchis diverted it, creating their own Days Of Future Past event, and what the eventual gameplan was.

Creating a Worldmind of all life, human and artifical, a singular entity, that would lead to a collapse into a singularity, allying with other local worldminds to create Titans and then Dominions. Which has led Professor Xavier to take the Terminator role now, by killing Moira Mactaggert before she could exhibit her time resetting mutant power.

Which is a very nifty gun to kill a kid, albeit one on her twelfth or thirteenth life now… and stopping Orchis from ever coming to the present.

Although not quite as the cover had it. Kieron Gillen says in his Substack, "You'll note that the cover is a slight deception, for obvious "you can't have someone pointing a gun at a 13 year old on cover, FFS!" reasons."

But, you know, if you were looking for nifty looking guns…

Sabretooth has managed to get Wolverine to find him one in Forge's lab from deepest darkest Krakoa.

Everyone gets compared to Forge these days, in X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic #131.

Man, Madrox gets used for everything these days. But the depowering gun would probably have done the job against a 13-year-old Moira, would it not?

Just as it does against Wolverine. And would have saved quite the fuss.

Wolvie's also in this Krakoa stealth suit over in X-Force #50, hunting the Beast. Which probably deserves a whole post of its own.

He's looking pretty good on it though. Let's say this happened… before Wolverine, shall we? Just to keep the suspense going.

As well as hunting Daredevil in Daredevil #7…

…and looking sad in X-Men '97 #1.

While it appears that, deprived of Moira Mactaggert to kill, Chekov's Gun is in full effect. The Phoenix stopped the Dominion in the original tiumeline a thousand years hence, could it do so again?

Professor Xavier, will you stop shooting people? And what kind of gun is it anyway?
