Fall of X speculations [BEWARE OF SPOILERS]

[Blackcyclops]

My speculation: Storm’s keeping Uranos in her pocket for Isca.

Interesting…
Well my money is on a Apocalypse vs Uranos battle. I mean it almost has to happen just based on them being blue-ish gray bald dudes lol

[das_boot]

Oh no, I totally see it, I just think from a tactical point of view… what happens when you put two unbeatable folk against one another? I’d kind of like to see it happen ha ha ha

I also don’t think Apocalypse is coming back as an antagonist at all. I really feel like he’s going to be clutch in taking down Genesis/Annihilation.

[Blackcyclops]

Interesting…hmmmm

Well I still think the Annihilation helm is connected to Adversary.

[das_boot]

And I *still* need to re-read the Adversary issues to see if I agree

As of Ms Marvel #1

Spoiler: show

Karima is based/been sent to ESU. There was a REALLY cold line from Karima asking a scientist to decide whether she had loyalty to MM as a fellow southern asian, or to the rest of humanity, and it honestly gave me CHILLS. It just felt like such a subtle start of an indoctrination to bigotry that really kind of hit me hard. But basically no further news on what Kamala’s mutant power is (please don’t be another Hope Summers thing where it takes ages to get to the point), but this reads like she’ll have a direct confrontation with Karima at some point and I’m actually kind of worried for Kamala with that.

[Holland Oates]

I can see :A: pretty much returning to form/being an antagonist to the X-men after having to kill Genesis (and maybe some of his kids).

As of this week’s issues…

Spoiler: show

-Shadowkat, Ironman and Emma know that Firestar is a mole, but Kate refuses to tell the rest of the surviving X-Men. Firestar knows Kate can use the gates. The Avengers buy the narrative that Firestar defected to Orchis.
-MR claims to be a mutant but that her powers are very poorly defined which is why she relies on magic
-The “lost” mutants are on the Atlantic Krakoan island now
- Selene and Shaw are aligned
-it really does seem like the gates have deposited the majority of mutants without significant combat experience or offensive/useful powers with Exodus and Hope
-The rest of the X-Men still don’t know where Cyclops is but Kate is working on it— as the character best suited to be able to get him out of his restraints, it works, I’m just curious as to whether she’ll be able to get him out with his broken spine/lack of mobility.

So my theories…

Spoiler: show

-MR is the one who orchestrated the cock up with the gates and wants to form a new resurrection circuit that would bind folk to her— we know she can resurrect people after all.
-MR’s status as a mutant is a consequence of Storm thanking her on behalf of Krakoa. I suspect that MR can achieve magically what Sinister can by genetic splicing— Storm’s promise gave her potential access to the powers of Krakoan mutants, and I also suspect that she might be responsible for Destiny’s current power-loss.
-Orchis is full of high tech gear but somehow didn’t see Kate and Firestar’s interaction, including the resolution and Kate using the gate? I don’t buy it. I think there’ll be a consequence to this confrontation

[norwichchris]

As I recall isn't Kate invisible to machines when intangible? just looked it up on Marvel Wikipedia

"Phased/Intangible Camouflage: While phased, Kitty can easily blend into the colors of her immediate surroundings and environments, practically making her, and others in physical contact with her, invisible to anything viewing them with the naked eye.[citation needed] Kitty can also become completely invisible and unseen in shadows.[citation needed]"

"Phased/Intangible Disruption: Kitty can easily damage tangible matter by passing right through it.[citation needed] When phasing through an object with an electrical system, the process often disrupts the system's workings.[59] She can selectively disrupt a person's nervous system in the same way.[135]"

[Blackcyclops]

So if I was ranking my personal list of favorite FoX books (so far), I’d say:
1) X-Men Red
2) Immortal X-Men
3) X-Men
4) Iron Man
5) Ms. Marvel
6) Alpha Flight
7) Children of the Vault-Dark X-Men
8) Jean Grey
9) Realm of X
10) Iceman

We haven’t going the Spider-man title yet and I’m not reading X-Force or Wolverine. I’m thinking of hopping back into Wolverine since I see alot of positive discussion around it.

[tokenBG1009]

I'm just waiting impatiently for Spider-Man to start.

(CotV #2/X-Men Red #15 spoilers)

So who has the more OP new use for their powers?

Spoiler: show

Bishop being able to use his power to absorb energy to fool any sort of technological sensor?
or
Genesis being able to 'talk' to (and spy through) people's gut flora?

[Blackcyclops]

I’d say Genesis…Bishop’s isn’t OP because it’s not a big broad usage or something so powerful that he basically becomes Rimuru Tempest. It’s more a finesse thing, which I find to be less a showing of OP and more clever. Genesis being able to talk to your gut biome is WILD lol

[das_boot]

WILD SPECULATION

Spoiler: show

I kind of feel like we’re going to see the payoff of Darwin having been kept captive by COTV during Fall of X. Obviously we know that they have their time-dilation thing going on to allow them to evolve super-quickly, but I really feel like there may be some abuse of Darwin’s genetics at play here to enable more favourable results

[norwichchris]

I predict Genesis defeats Storm but is then killed of by Orchis and then Arakko is then decimated causing "A" to lose his it and become Apocalypse again but this time he will have an army of Mutants on his side.

I hope so hate her and the Arakki so much they are pointless to the point of not really being needed except to give Storm something to do and "A" to be a loser.

[das_boot]

Not really speculation, just an observation— Sabretooth and the Exiles have been conspicuously absent since Fall of X. Considering we know they’re getting their story continued and that’s a LARGE group of mutants, I’m starting to get suspicious that they’re somehow flying under the Orchis radar and may well turn up in another title soon, or else they might be

Spoiler: show

the All New X-Men we’ve had teased— other than an Apocalypse led team, I really feel like Sabretooth leading a team might be the most fitting nod to AOA and would make sense

[norwichchris]

Honestly, Wish we didn't have previews of next years comics it spoils the surprise of what might happen.

It would be interesting though to see how Sabretooth and the Exiles fit into Orchis plans as I recall Stasis threatend to 10 humans for every Mutant left on Earth? so there are like a hundred or so under him so that's at least a 1000 extra dead humans. Will be interesting to see the Krakoans reaction to the Exiles.

"A" can't lead a X-Men team he's a supervillain...

[Blackcyclops]

You can always not look at them?


@Das:

Spoiler: show

I believe Sabes will be using his army of Sabretooths for a war against Logan.

Spoiler: show

Is that a prediction you’re pulling out of your well educated and pert derrière, or from a solicitation? (No shade btw, I pull all of my theories out my arse ha ha ha

[norwichchris]

We find out the reason why FeiLong hates mutants so much in Invincible Iron-Man #10

Spoiler: show

Whilst Tony and Emma are in FeiLong's head she decides to see why he hates Mutants so much and it is because they are both mutants but he was born normal human much like Graydon Greed they also loved him and didn't abandon him

But who would have been his parents and does this revelation affect the Fall of X aftermath
