Powers of X #1 preview

Rosenberg tried to warn us. That was the true message of "This if Forever".

It doesn't seem like any of these OCs will be in any books after Powers of X is done.

I love you people. You hate everything. New characters, amalgams, or the natural progression of characters. Why live if you like nothing?

The sword chick basically confirms that Pyotr, Ilyana and Dani Moonstar had a threesome and Ilyana used her magic to impregnate Dani, right?

Hickman is a troll, i wouldn't belive what he tells aoutside of the stories themselves

Sure, but East of West is just a rebranded version of Hickman ultimates

That is the best scenario but most likely those pod mutants that Xavier is growing are genetically engineered for his purposes.

But it’s not time travel? It’s a time skip. And if the “powers of ten = an exponentially measured time skip” theme holds, I’m guessing this book will have more of them at some point.

So, basically humans and machines merged to become a human/sentinel hybrid?

Huh. The dialogue is changed from the original preview

I noticed, the original preview tried to keep the names of the new characters secret, didn't include the reference to Year One Hundred, and didn't mention the black seed of Krakoa.

Rosenberg was double dogshit.

Don't forget they also hate the status quo.

>Sure, but East of West is just a rebranded version of Hickman ultimates

It's not though. Hickman's Ultimates was about humans getting the bill for messing with science they barely understood (to get the drop on their enemies) and doing things that they could without asking if they should or pondering the moral and ethical consequences. This reaches a crescendo with Tian and the Children of Tomorrow (before Hickman leaves the book). But none of it is in East of West. The closest thing to the Children/City being the Endless Nation are really not portrayed as the scourge of humanity/unstoppable wrath of God that Reed and the City are in Ultimates.

Plus he has said that EoW is based on an unpublished Shang Chi story he did for Marvel.

What if, hear me out, there's no time travel.

There's just a story that takes place in the future that tells us things about the present?

ALL NEW ALL DIFFERENT X-MEN

>Mutant nation-state building
>Mutant births increasing
>Xavier clearly possessed or impersonated
>Magneto clearly up to shenanigans
>US Government restarts sentinel program
>Time travel / timeskips featuring dystopian future

wow..such specific and unique similarities

Reminder that this isn't the new status quo, this is the leadup to the new status quo

Unless the new status quo will have muties publicly apologize for their flagrant disregard of the law and acknowledge that some mutants are as dangerous as humans thought they were and would accept the cure for mutations in general, nothing will change.

Go back to bed, Stryker.

Being so catty makes you interesting

Your days are done, flatscan!

Yeah, and with the black seed we can be more certain of the connection to the no-place.

Yep. The future parts inform us that Krakoa survives, and a portion of humanity goes full nanomachine-sentinel-space-nazi-retard.

Until Hickman leaves and the next writer decides to nuke Karakoa and wave off Powers of X as an alt-universe.

You haven't seen the internal politics of Krakoa. You don't know that Prof X and Cyclops sanctioned what Sabertooth did. You don't know that the break in at DC wasn't part of a House of M plot, a Hellfire plot, or a plot by Karima, Moira, and Apocalypse.

If a nation of metahumans had access to teleportation shenanigans and technology that put the greatest human nations to shame, you'd restart and overhaul the Sentinel program too. What happened to mutants being the underdog superpowered minorities? Now we're supposed to root for mutant-supremacy and the evolutionary irrelevance and eventual extinction of mankind? We're supposed to welcome our replacement with open arms? I'm rooting for mankind; man and machine, together, against an alien threat.

T.inhuman

But I do know that Cyclops tried to force them to give Sabertooth back. If Reed wasn't there, I'm sure Scott would blast everyone else.

I mean it actually is the next evolution of mankind. Mutations are too unpredictable.

I just realized the humans are basically Hellfire Club goons.

>So either Hickman was lying
Hickman isn't Johns, he can be a hack but he doesn't run his mouth during interviews about things that don't end up happening.

This. It's not time travel it's simply informing the reader what will happen in 100 years of this time line.

It's a metaphor for white genocide.

You forgot
>Possible conflict between Fantastic Four and mutants if they're actually fucking stupid enough to try and kidnap Franklin

Because of references to previous ones. The one that destroyed Genosha was a reference to the Tri-Sentinel. This one is a reference to the one that destroed Genosha. It's like a poem. It rhymes.

user, I'm as much of a Hickman stan as they come, but the man loves to lie in interviews and on his twitter to throw people off his scent. NEVER take what he says at face value. "Lies have served us well."

That said, this clearly isn't a case of time-travel or alt-universes. It's just a comic set in the future.

>The one that destroyed Genosha was a reference to the Tri-Sentinel.
I don't know, Morrison doesn't seem like the kind of guy to make a reference to a 1990s Spider-Man comic. He doesn't seem to be into Spider-Man, much less 90s Spider-Man.

Morrison wasn't necessarily the person that designed it though. It's entirely possible he just said "giant super imposing, monstrous looking sentinel" to Quitely, who the proceeded to give it the three heads as a reference himself.

HYPERCRISIS

it's just the first chapter. I really don't think Hick wants to make a supremacist story. it's more like a Kansas City Shuffle, to deliberately bring the reader to expect something on wrong premises

Fuck off

So it is pretty much confirmed that Rasputin was made by Krakoa using multiple DNAs?

It explains her many powers. Collosus stuff, Magik sword, telepathy iirc someone said she phased through something in some art. She has Dani moon start hair pieces but could go anywhere. Also Magik's sword is magic but whatever.

I was joking but get used to it, the Marvel-aligned Hypercrisisfags love Hickman

Hickman is pretty much just Lawful Morrison.

The plot twist is that none of the X-men seen on page are the real ones, but clones made by notMaker in the first pages of HoX.

what a great way to make your run doesn't matter at all

Transformers Prime Soundwave?

bump

He's got the build, but not one of his faces is handsome enough.

He just thinks he can't top it as all of the great stories for Peter have already been done. Referencing is another story.

>Collosus stuff, Magik sword, telepathy iirc someone said she phased through something
In the past when Magik "died" her soulsword went to her bff Kitty Pryde. So if you have Kitty + Peter you get metal skin and phasing right there + eventual inherited magik sword and, remember, this is set 100 years in the future so you've got another generation/pairing to get the telepathy since this is the grandchild not the child.

Or, you know, clones.

>So either Hickman was lying about the "no time-travel or alternate realities" thing, or something weird is going on.
What if this is how Sinister fits in? Using X-Men DNA samples to cross-breed a new generation of mutants, explaining how a lot of them look like incest children, and they don't know they're living inside a simulation of the future.

Runs don't matter at all by default

Wanna throw it out there what if Mr Sinister got ahold of the world an thus takes place there

ohhhh you're probably right. I was really wondering how Hickman would make Sinister's schtick work, and Hickman's work is always about the next logical step in character's actions, and this makes way too much sense for Sinister.

He does actually, but his big take on it has been taken and done by others, not well.

He wanted to have current Pete meet an alternate "Ditko all along" Pete. And before our resident conservative dipshits get all excited, Ditko Pete was going to be in a bad fucking place mentally.

I think Hickman will probably not focus on The World too much as it has too many similarities with what he's doing with Krakoa.

Right now, my guess is that the future scenes are just meant to be the endpoint of the events happening in the present day. It’s just a flash forward that doesn’t interact with the present, like Days of Future Past.

I figure there will be time travel linking this future in the books post-HoX/PoX.
