Kirby and Lee work together when they designed the original X - manpower , but Claremont and Cockrum are arguably even more important to Marvel ’s merry mutation . Cockrum was responsible for design the Second Genesis team , including the likes of Nightcrawler , Colossus , and Storm . Chris Claremont , meanwhile , is best get it on for his 17 - year stint writing the 10 - Men comic from 1975 through to 1991 . This cameo is especially laughable given Krakoa only welcomes mutation ; only mutants are able to go into Krakoa ’s gateways , and only mutants are welcome to subsist on Krakoa .
