So, he knew that Genosha was going to be bombarded, right? The day that Sentinels killed 16 Million mutants, he knew it was going to happen beforehand. And he let it happen anyway.
So, whatever he is doing right now, it has to be worth the sacrifice of 16,000,000 mutants.
Xavier is an elitist. He cares about the Top Tier Mutants. Magneto's a filthy Commie Kike who gathered "Six Arms & An Anus" and "Worm Face". Chuck wants more Jeans and Scotts.
We don't know yet if that specific event happened in any of Moira's previous lives. They only have advance warning of events that occurred in previous iterations. The chart doesn't mention the Genoshan genocide, or, for example, Proteus, as happening in any of her previous lives, so they may be unique to her 10th life.
It could also be that Genosha happens later or earlier and he either wasn't expecting it so early or he thought he avoided it already only for it to happen later.
>sixteen million wasn't enough
no he didnt know that
Moira's previous lives were wildly different
We saw the chart and the genocide only happened in this timeline.
Proteus is probably unique to the 10th life. From the issue, she only gets married in her first and her fourth life, in her previous lives.
If she had hooked up with Joseph once, she would have known just how fucked up and abusive he was. I really can't imagine her putting herself through that shit again. Moira letting herself be beaten into a coma and raped, just to produce Proteus seems a bit much.
He didn't know about Genosha. He did know about the Terrigen bomb.
Faraway happened, also the rise of Wild Sentinels. that should have been a red flag
Is this supposed to be a surprise? The X-Men sat out the Kang War, you think they'd actually get off their asses for Genosha?
Insert “first time” meme with Old Steve on James Franco’s body.
>he knew that Genosha was going to be bombarded, right?
This is why I hate these retcons.
was it 16 million mutants? Genosha had a substantial human population as well, but nobody's ever mentioned them becoming refugees anywhere, and a country with sufficient infrastructure to rapidly absorb millions of mutants from all over the world can't initially have been particularly small or underdeveloped
is the number 16 million mutants + human casualties, is it 16 million individuals including humans + mutants, or is it 16 million mutants and for some reason nobody ever mentioned at least a couple of million refugees being absorbed by neighboring countries? for that matter, where the fuck is Genosha supposed to be anyway
>Genosha had a substantial human population
When Magneto takes power for the second time, Genosha has no longer human inhabitants.
We don't know if the Genosha genocide happened in Moira's other lives, but he at the very least knew about Trask and the Sentinels, Mister Sinister, Apocalypse, Decimation, the Phoenix Five, and plenty of other things, but did nothing.
I've only known Prof X from the live action movies. Wtf is his problem, Yea Forums?
Retcons.
so... Magneto killed millions of people and everyone must have known about it, right?
since it's never been mentioned that they were displaced anywhere
Even if he had complete biographical data of every one of Moira's previous lives, there's no reason to believe that that specific event happened on that specific day in any of them. Indeed, looking at the big chart of major events in her life, it appears that it didn't happen in ANY of them. Presumably in those other lives, Cassandra Nova either never confronted Xavier, or did so in ways that didn't manifest themselves in the same disastrous manner.
Nothing we've been given indicates that it was destined to happen on that specific date. If anything, what we're presented with is a really potent butterfly effect where Moira's deliberate efforts to change history, over and over again, result in WILDLY divergent timelines.
This was actually an explicit plot point in the mini-series "Magneto: Dark Seduction," which took place right after he took over Genosha.
>Emigration request denied
...But why? Wouldn't Magneto be glad if all the humans left? Why keep them around?
They were still valued as a work-force. There weren't that many mutants in the country yet, and much of it lay in ruins. They were needed to do all the things that a society needs. The shopkeepers, the construction workers, the firemen, etc etc. If they all left, there simply wouldn't be enough hands available to actually rebuild the country into a place where mutants would want to come and live.
I personally find it pretty difficult to take mutants and their often self influcted struggles seriously in a universe where people with superpowers are already a common occurence.
The same reason why Zimbabwe is begging for white farmers to come back.
There's a lot of unnamed mutants who haven't caused any trouble. Well, aside from maybe their powers going off when they developed but I doubt many of those have that dangerous of powers anyway since those that do tend to end up as part of the x-men.
We don't trust authority figures in contemporary culture anymore and since Xavier is the ultimate authority figure in X-Men comics every writer feels the need to show he's actually a shady bastard. It's a tired trope at this point.
He's a good guy, but kinda sleazy and self important like every professor with tenure.
That may be true, and in some cases be a literal disability, but the likes of Magneto and the X-Men really just make it all worse for everyone. Hell they’ll even discriminate against someone who is also burdened with powers as well as a potential outcast just because they don’t have the X gene. Add in all the mess with things like Genosha and it just gets worse.
When was the last time Professor X was shown to be a genuinely good man?
It's just impossible to fix the X-Men. Not without plenty of plotholes, anyway.
But I'm curious about where the fuck is Hickman going to with this.
And I bet the next issue of POX will give us another mindfuckery.
You forgot the mutants are the evolutionary substitutes of Homo sapiens. And the latter obviously isn't quite happy about it and even less about knowing it. So...killing robots! And all goes to shit and again and again.
>When was the last time Professor X was shown to be a genuinely good man?
More or less like everyone else, except for Spider-man, Thor and a few others, the 2000s with the success of Ultimate Universe and then with Civil war changed every marvel character and how to write them.
This Exactly
?
Genosha is off the coast of africa somewhere which technically makes Polaris an african princess.
Ok
Ok
Look at the chart at the end of the issue. Notice her 9th life-line goes off the page as well. There are at least two major events in the 9th life we haven't seen yet.
