X-Men #7 reveals Krakoa’s tragic legacy that could doom all mutants

Online Niel November 7, 2024

X-Men #5, written by writer Jed MacKay, penciler Netho Diaz, inkers Sean Parsons and Livesay, colorists Marte Gracia and Fer Sifuentes-Sujo, and writer Clayton Cowles shows what happened in the so-called “Night of Iron” in which a sentinel attacked their new home in Merle, Alaska, leading to the establishment of the new team and their new headquarters.

This answers some of the lingering questions about the team, but also reveals a shocking secret about the aftermath of Krakoa that could change everything for the X-Men and the rest of mutantkind.

Spoilers ahead for X-Men #7

As revealed in X-Men #5, the events of “Night of Iron” took place “X months ago”, as Cyclops and Magneto muse on the future of the X-Men while sharing cheap beers at Summers cabin from Merle, Alaska. Their moment of relaxation is interrupted when a wild Sentinel core left in the city’s decommissioned Sentinel factory activates, causing a Sentinel body to be constructed around the core from metal and materials from the area.

Cyclops and Magneto engage the Sentinel in their search for mutants, destroying Merle as they go. But the X-Men are more than ready as Magneto cracks open the Sentinel’s metal casing with his powers, exposing the Wild Sentinel’s core. Cyclops takes it out in one blast, rendering the Sentinel inert in its position standing above the city.

However, even with the Sentinel under control, the danger is not over as Magneto suddenly begins to lose control of his powers, forcing Cyclops to knock him unconscious before he can unwittingly do any harm to the city.

Back in the present day, where the X-Men are now based in the Sentinel factory, we learn that Magneto is one of the first patients of a disease identified as R-LDS, Resurrection Linked Degenerative Disease, which is apparently a condition. which can affect any mutant that has been resurrected by the five. It causes Magneto’s body to degenerate and his powers run the risk of getting out of control whenever he uses them.

And although Hank McCoy is working on a cure, any resurrected mutant could develop the condition.

This is not the first mutant disease to appear over the years. In the 90s, there was the Legacy Virus, a man-made virus that targeted people with X genes with fatal results. And more recently in 2016, there was M-Pox, a fatal mutant disease caused by contact with Terrigen Mists, the substance that gives Inhumans their powers. In both cases, a cure was eventually found, but not before many mutants died.

The story continues in X-Men #8 on December 4.
