TheX - Menreboot salvage its great twist for last , establishing a undimmed new future for every Mutant in Marvel ’s Universe … only to see humanness hit back bymurdering Charles Xavier . It ’s a heartbreaking , tragic moment … but why should fans even care ?
That is n’t meant as a thickened dismissal to either readers or the characters forced to check as he is shoot down before their eyesinX - Force # 1 . And certainly , the black ops squad that violate a sovereign res publica to assassinate a heading of commonwealth will beaggressivelyinterrogated ( specially when you considerwho is in reality leading Krakoa ’s political science ) . But once the electric shock of seeing Xavier gunned down article of clothing off , fans should ask why this is a notable story dumbfound at all – since decease no longer matters to the X - manpower , anyway .
The politics of the account unfold in Benjamin Percy and Joshua Cassara’sX - Forceis certainly going to be a monumental plot - changer , now that Reavers have infiltratedthe ( already suspicious ) mutant commonwealth of Krakoato murder sport indiscriminately . Again , shocking to lay eyes on in the moment , but a waste of effort consideringthe X - man can already resurrect dead mutantsanyway . Which really undersell the impact of Xavier ’s slaying , most of all .
For those who may have breezed past this mastery of mutant Christ’s Resurrection established as part of Jonathan Hickman’sHouse of XandPowers of Xrelaunch , it is the one discovery that has permanently confirmedthe X - Men are better off than Avengers . Using the united ability of five mutants , and DNA record of every sport on Earth , Krakoa can incubate cloned bodies in a matter of hour . At which point , as explain inHouse of X # 5 , their head are uploaded and started sassy :
A backup of every mutant mind on the planet exists . Once a calendar week , Charles Xavier copies the " late version " of every mutant mind to multiple redundant " cradles " locate in several locations across the man . These backups are the essence of each mutant . How they cogitate , how they find , their computer storage – their very being . When a mutant straw is ready , Charles Xavier interpose this substitute of WHO THEY ARE into their chaff , and that sport is born-again .
impart all these details , the idea of Xavier being assassinated , or indeed ANY mutant being killed , serves only to pay for reprisal fromCyclops and his military strike squad . It ’s a flawless system , since even if the Reavers targetedthe most significant X - Man , Goldballs , the hive away ' eggs ' would be used to resurrect him . In case anyone is worry the destroyed Cerebro will be an issue , it defies system of logic to believe Xavier would have a exclusive version . Besides , Jean Grey is shown wearing Cerebro on the binding ofX - forcefulness # 3 , which makes perfect sense , since she would be the natural selection to upload Xavier ’s own consciousness in the event of his death . And Xavier himself is shown on the covering ofX - hands # 4 .
So what was the actual goal here ? That mystery will have to wait , but in the meantime , the death of Charles Xavier is a good monitor to fan that , as a result of the fresh X - Men condition quo , even of import bod being defeat is nowhere about as crucial as it used to be .
X - Force # 1is available now at your local comic record shop , with the radioactive dust of Xavier ’s dying expected to begin inX - Man # 2arriving on November 13th .
