A one-stop shop for all things video games. If Maxime and Manon are revealed to have used their powers to cause human death, there are two possible results - neither of which are ideal. Tom's focus tends to be on the various superhero franchises, as well as Star Wars, Doctor Who, and Star Trek; he's also an avid comic book reader. The X-Men are attempting to establish a peace with humanity using the promise of Krakoan flowers, that they believe have a positive impact on humans. Other flowers create gateways that only mutants can pass through, and the X-Men are planting these across the Earth and beyond, in order to allow instantaneous travel.

Wolverine: What Happened to Logan's Hot Claws? Maxine and Manon may have been extreme in their actions, but they were acting to save lives - including a group of children and the two humans in the house above them. The X-Men were ultimately able to stop them and free them from Ahab's control.

Far from being idyllic, this is disturbing, because it suggests that mutants aren't just settlers on the living island. The scene cuts away, but from outside Armor and Túmulo hear gunshots ringing out from the basement. They've extended Krakoa across the Earth, and beyond. Glob uses the chaos to take off Maxime collar without being noticed, so he can join his sister and alters his mind even further. Combine this with the Fallen Angels preview, and the predator could essentially be seen as a harvester, created to shed blood in order to feed Krakoa and allow it to continue to grow.

Hank McCoy was exploring Krakoa, taking samples of vegetation and living organisms in order to study them.

Hailing from the small nation of Costa Perdita, Túmulo survived a major outbreak of disease only to watch American pharmaceutical executives hike the price of the necessary drug to fight it. X-Force #1 suggests that the living island is indeed feeding on the mutants - only in small numbers right now, so as not to attract attention, but it is preying on them nonetheless.

Utopia never had strong government foundations. This version of Krakoa purports to be a benevolent entity, offering the mutants a paradise where they can escape from humanity. The Fallen Angels preview gives the mutant nation a seriously creepy twist. However, it's hardly a major plot point in Utopia. That's what Krakoa does. However, Scott didn't initially trust him (or any of the other villains) and Magneto had to prove he was true to his word. The X-Men had previously stood for integration, but now they've embraced an isolationist philosophy in which they gather the world's mutants on the living island of Krakoa. Loki: Who Is Vali Halfling, the Marvel Villain's Forgotten Son? House of X #1 confirmed that Krakoa is a psychic entity, and that it enters a mutant's mind as they travel through the gateways. A moment later, a Krakoan butterfly lands upon the wound, as though drawn to it.

However, there was no official "government" set in place. Humans like Stryker were responsible for driving the X-Men out of their Graymalkin home, but so too were superhumans like Wanda Maximoff after M-Day rendered mutants near-extinct. Can't mutants act in self-defense? 4 Among the first difficulties encountered was the choice of the model plant. The X-Men's new mutant nation-state, Krakoa, adopts several ideas from Utopia -- but takes them to new extremes. Right now, Krakoa doesn't look to be a sanctuary for the mutant race at all; rather, the evidence is building that it's actually a trap. While the X-Men's new status-quo on the mutant nation-state Krakoa may seem like a huge shift, it actually has a lot in common with its predecessor, Utopia.

However, the nature of said drug trade also means mutants are actively choosing not to rescue some humans.

It’s an interesting concept that Brisson is exploring. It would have killed him if not for Wolverine's intervention, and the road-weary mutant warned Beast that there are always predators. During a confrontation with some mutant-hating criminals at the home of X-veterans Beak and Angel, Maxime and Manon, two of the X-Men's newest recruits, may have just killed a human who had guns aimed at a group of mutant children, which means that they may have just broken one of the cardinal laws of Krakoa's Quiet Council. X-Force #1 raised the stakes, revealing that Krakoa has begun to generate predators to hunt mutants.

Worse still, X-Force #1 raises the subtle possibility that this isn't a simple act of nature; it could be an intentional plan, by a creature that's been shown to be sentient in the past.

On Utopia, humans were necessary to its foundation. One of these predators, a devilish creature resembling a bear but with far too many teeth, actually attacked Beast.

Kwannon is one of the handful of mutants who doesn't feel at home on Krakoa, in spite of the island's best efforts, and at one point she mulls over the fact that on this paradisical island she needs to make her pain in order to be reminded of it. Should the X-Men succeed, then the entire human race will be dosed up on Krakoan drugs - another convenient form of expansion. And the evidence is building that, just like the Venus fly trap, Krakoa is not benign. On Utopia, Scott and Emma have a post-coital conversation about how "sex-saturated" all the mutants seem to be now that they've moved to their own private island.

They're also a potential food source. This includes Beak, Angel Salvatore and their children - who are revealed to have been living quiet lives on a farm with Beak's sickly father. A good second issue focusing on the Krakoan drugs and how it may be putting all mutants in danger. The island was a mutant safe haven off the coast of San Francisco, made from the destruction of Magneto's Asteroid M. In many ways, Krakoa has taken familiar Utopia ideas, but elevated them to an extreme. This act actually raises a number of questions about the application of mutant law going forward.

The nations that have recognized Krakoa as a mutant sovereign nation are given access to pharmaceutical drugs, which also strengthens the X-Men's economy. WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for New Mutants #4 by Ed Brisson, Marco Failla, Carlos Lopez, VC's Travis Lanham and Tom Muller, on sale now.

Hailing from the small nation of Costa Perdita, Túmulo survived a major outbreak of disease only to watch American pharmaceutical executives hike the price of the necessary drug to fight it. The Quiet Council ,the ruling group for mutants on Krakoa, has issued a handful of rules for mutants to adhere to going forward. There are also hints of Sinister beginning work on his Chimera projects soon, giving  a much more literal meaning to "Make More Mutants.

On Krakoa, Charles and company seem much more interested in creating a permanent solution with more concrete laws and systems.

Shortly after they debuted in Ed Brisson and Pepe Larraz's Extinction storyline, they were captured and corrupted by Ahab, who used them in his efforts to destroy the original, teenage X-Men who were trapped in the present day.
