He pointed out that supporters of the stadium were getting more than the allotted two minute time. And was violently grabbed and removed from the chamber.
I've been reading a lot of great comics lately and I'm getting excited about what comes next for the MCU. I'm ready for a whole new set of stories...so here's something I'd love to see with the conclusion of the multiverse saga and how I'd love to see the mutant saga go down
Avengers: Doomsday
Incursions bring the MCU Avengers into conflict with an established X-Men universe, with both sides realizing only one Earth may survive. Doom has been preparing for this and offers a solution: merge what remains of the multiverse into a single reality under his control. He manipulates Wanda into using her reality-warping power, the Avengers/X-Men conflict explodes, and the movie ends with the multiverse collapsing and Doom creating Battleworld.
Inspired by: Time Runs Out, Avengers vs. X-Men, House of M, Secret Wars, One World Under Doom.
Avengers: Secret Wars
Doom rules Battleworld, a patchwork reality where everyone has been given versions of the lives they wanted and few remember the old multiverse. Reed and the surviving heroes uncover the truth, while Wanda realizes Doom used her power to create this world. The heroes ultimately reject Doom’s “perfect” reality, and the universe is rebuilt—this time with mutants integrated into MCU history.
Inspired by: Secret Wars (2015), House of M, Fantastic Four/FF by Hickman.
Now we get into the wild stuff with X-men stories.
X-Men: Children of the Atom
After Secret Wars, Cyclops is one of the few people who remembers fragments of the old multiverse and becomes increasingly uneasy about mutant survival in this rewritten world. When young mutants begin disappearing, Scott, Storm, Jean and Emma uncover Bastion’s hidden Sentinel network, built around the fear that accelerating mutant births could eventually replace humanity. The X-Men stop a mass roundup, but Bastion escapes and Scott realizes winning battles will never be enough to guarantee his people a future. During the rescue, Cypher senses something calling to mutantkind and leads them to a living island hidden from the world: Krakoa. The post credit sequences are: Thousands of displaced mutants arriving at krakoa , and Scott realizing the X-Men have always had a school—but never a nation. And then another post-credit scene shows Bastion joining Alia Gregor and other scientists to form Orchis, with the first plans for Nimrod already underway.

X-Men: House of X
Cyclops begins determined to prove Krakoa can protect mutants without threatening humanity, but Karima Shapandar believes mutant prosperity inevitably ends with humanity being replaced. Her goal is to sabotage Krakoa, radicalize human fear, and accelerate Orchis’ Sentinel program before mutants become too powerful to stop. After her attacks kill mutants Scott personally promised to protect, the X-Men defeat her immediate plan, but Scott loses some faith in coexistence and accepts that Krakoa needs political, economic, and military power to survive.
The final reveal: Orchis activates Nimrod, humanity’s ultimate insurance policy against mutantkind.
X-Men: The Sinister Gene
Krakoa’s population is booming, but a wave of mutant children begin developing unstable powers and dying. Mister Sinister, like all mutants was welcomed to Krakoa, offers a cure while secretly harvesting mutant DNA and engineering a generation he can control. Cyclops is forced to accept help from someone he despises to save thousands of children, only to discover Sinister caused the crisis himself so Krakoa would make him indispensable.
The X-Men stop his plan, but Sinister escapes with a complete genetic archive of Krakoa, including Cyclops, Jean, Storm and dozens of Omega-level mutants. He has other plans.
Inspired by: House of X/Powers of X, Hellions, Sins of Sinister, classic Sinister cloning/genetics stories.
X-Men: Sins of Sinister
Sinister uses the stolen genetic library to create engineered mutant copies, infiltrating governments, Orchis and even Krakoa itself. His goal is not simply to rule mutants, but to replace both humanity and mutantkind with a civilization designed by him, proving evolution can be controlled rather than left to chance.
Sinister is defeated, but his experiments leave governments terrified of mutant resurrection and genetic technology—giving Orchis the political justification it needs to massively expand Nimrod and the Sentinel program.
Inspired by: Sins of Sinister, Inferno, Hellions, House of X/Powers of X.
Avengers vs. X-Men
After Sinister’s crimes expose Krakoa’s resurrection and genetic secrets, Orchis convince governments that mutant power has become too dangerous to remain unchecked. When Cyclops launches preemptive strikes against suspected Sentinel sites, civilians die and the Avengers intervene, turning a political crisis into open war. Scott believes he is finally protecting mutants before they can be exterminated, but by the end realizes he has crossed the line from defense into fear-driven aggression.
The heroes eventually uncover Orchis’ manipulation, but the damage is permanent: Krakoa is isolated, the Avengers are fractured, Storm breaks with Scott, and Nimrod has secretly studied every superhuman involved in the war.
Inspired by: Avengers vs. X-Men, Civil War, X-Men: Schism, House of X/Powers of X, Fall of X.
X-Men: Fall of X
With mutantkind politically isolated, Orchis unleashes Nimrod, only to discover the machine has expanded its mission beyond mutants: any superhuman evolution, magic, alien influence, or unstable human power is now a threat to the future it was built to preserve. Cyclops begins the film determined to defend Krakoa at any cost, but finally understands that survival means nothing if mutants become just another power protecting themselves at everyone else’s expense.
To stop Nimrod, Scott sacrifices Krakoa’s resurrection system, giving up mutant immortality to save both humans and mutants. Storm unites the X-Men, Avengers and ordinary people for the final battle, Orchis collapses, and Krakoa survives as a real nation rather than an untouchable fortress.

Then not knowing where it could go introduce Moira's multiple lives....
Moira X
The film follows Moira MacTaggert across multiple lives, each one showing a different attempt to prevent mutant extinction. In one life mutants pursue coexistence, in another they militarize, in another they dominate politically, in another humanity embraces Sentinel technology first—and each path produces a different disaster.
Moira begins treating people like variables in a system she can optimize. The real tension comes when Destiny challenges that worldview: seeing possible futures does not mean any one of them is inevitable. By the end, Moira does not “solve” mutant history; she realizes her memories are a map of failures, not a prophecy.
That opens the door to multiple future directions instead of closing the saga:
one path where Cyclops doubles down on mutant sovereignty
one where Storm tries to rebuild trust with humanity
one where Nimrod survives in some altered form
one where Krakoa fractures into rival mutant states
one where Destiny begins steering events based on futures only she can see
one where Moira’s knowledge itself becomes dangerous enough that different factions want to control or kill her.
The thematic idea is that the Multiverse Saga asked whether reality is predetermined; Moira X asks whether knowing the future makes you wiser—or simply more controlling.
Thanks for reading this wall of text. Would love to know what people think
I recently finished fantastic four by Jonathan Hickman "The Complete Collection" Vol. 1 - it contained dark reign : fantastic four 1-5 and fantastic four #570-578.
I was about to buy vol 2 but I read the contents and it said "Volume 2 - 1st printing. Collects Fantastic Four (1998-2012 3rd Series) #575-578."
My vol 1 already HAD vol 2 in it? I'm so confused!! hickmans storyline already can feel like your walking in the middle of the story. I just wanna know I'm reading this in the right order and why the labeling system is so confusing.
Carl Setzer took the microphone at the Ohio Statehouse on June first to deliver a sharp warning about the rapid expansion of massive data infrastructure. Speaking before the joint select committee on data centers, the Lake County figure drawing on his background in cybersecurity and commercial cooling infrastructure labeled the current construction boom a speculative bubble. He argued that private equity and tech developers are rushing to break ground on facilities to maximize immediate financial payouts and initial public offerings before the long term economic viability of these operations is fully realized. His testimony captured a growing public anxiety over how these massive server farms impact local communities, pointing out that citizens are not trying to block genuine innovation but are instead deeply concerned about losing their resources to projects they never requested.
The underlying risks driving this backlash extend far beyond local zoning disputes and touch on critical infrastructure stability. These massive tech facilities consume millions of gallons of water daily to keep computer servers from overheating, drawing heavily on municipal water tables and risking local shortages. The sheer volume of electricity required to run artificial intelligence models and cloud storage strains the regional power grid, forcing utilities to burn more fossil fuels and driving up energy bills for regular households. Additionally, the physical footprint of these developments swallows up vast tracts of rural farmland, permanently altering local ecosystems and replacing agricultural fields with windowless concrete warehouses.
Compounding these environmental dangers are the financial structures enabling the boom. Ohio has granted roughly one point six billion dollars in sales tax exemptions to these tech firms, a figure so substantial that the governor temporarily paused new tax incentives. Many of these projects are negotiated behind strict municipal non-disclosure agreements, leaving residents entirely in the dark about the resource demands of a incoming facility until construction is already approved. This lack of transparency combined with the heavy strain on shared utilities has sparked a grassroots push for a state constitutional amendment to outright ban any future data centers that exceed a twenty five megawatt monthly power threshold.
