Nimrod and Orchis want the opposite- a future where mutants are either exterminated or else reduced in number and completely subjugated to the will of humans.

They want mutants to rule the world with humans as their clear inferiors. Moira, Xavier, and Magneto are working for a future of mutant supremacy. But these grandiose plans for the future are so bizarre in their binary nature. This is almost a relief, because her personality has been so strikingly different from what it used to be even just 10 years ago. Yet another character is revealed here to be a secret agent who knows all about the future and is actively working against Moira's plans. Time and again, he uses the same trick of revealing that a minor character has really been alive and scheming all along. (And I say all that while despising Emma and the Cuckoos)īut I don't care for the soap opera storytelling that Hickman has been employing here. In fact, I even enjoyed the interaction between Destiny and the Stepford Cuckoos in which she taught them a lesson about the importance of individuality. I even enjoy the Bechdel Test moments where the White Queen, Mystique, and Destiny plot together. I like how Cypher plays a surprisingly large role in this plot, with the whole first half of this comic focusing on how Cypher has been scheming behind the scenes since before Dawn of X/House of X. On the one hand, I enjoy the mutant interactions.
