Immortal X-Men (2022-) #1

Product Information

Only Sane Man: Nightcrawler is the only member of the Quiet Council who hasn't gone all in on "mutant superiority". He is appropriately horrified by the rest of the Council's seemingly growing and sociopathic disregard for humans and robots, and disgusted when Exodus deems humans as stupid after hearing about a suicide. (It should perhaps be noted in total fairness, however, that Xavier is also clearly deeply troubled as a result of this.) Colossus would be in the same category as Kurt but, unfortunately, he's been compromised by the Russians and is an unwilling mole instead. Emma admits that she's still fighting to overcome her tendency towards this, remarking that it took a lot of restraint to not psychically assault a random CEO just because he thought about how Krakoa is losing heavy-hitters and looking weak.

In the second issue Mr. Sinister uses a serum to temporarily transform himself into a huge pale version of Weapon H. For a long time, Krakoa has watched the Quiet Council squabble over petty political games. When it finally decides to speak, what shall Krakoa say?

Destiny's powers don't work in the White Hot Room. She's in the middle of explaining this to Mother Righteous when she realizes this isn't a good thing. Righteous then stabs her. In issue #12 Raven reveals to Irene she knows what her wife did in the Sinister timeline to "protect" her, and that she is furious. After their argument in issue #11, Ororo notes that while Emma was just lashing out, it doesn't make what she says to her less true.

Destiny is trying to navigate between many possible bad futures. The one we see most of in the third issue is "the eXpanse", where Exodus, powered by a trillion-strong mutant church-empire with Phoenix imagery, hunts down Sinister. However, Destiny is also motivated by the fact that for her, any bad future is one where Mystique isn't alive. And she can't see any future where Mystique lives. In issue #4, Sinister's Multiple Man-empowered duplicates lead the Quiet Council on a wild goose chase. To confuse their pursuers, each duplicate proclaims, "I'm Spartacus!" - except for the one who shouts "I'm Brian!". Schlesinger, Alex (March 2, 2022).

Mind Probe: In his origin story, Exodus fought and won a psychic duel with Sersi of the Eternals. Here, it's revealed he actually read her mind as he did so and learned a lot about Eternals, giving valuable insight into their nature. Mother Righteous, meanwhile, isn’t interested in petty fighting. She’s earned Mystique’s thanks by delivering a copy of Destiny’s recording from Immoral X-Men #3. Mystique technically isn’t supposed to listen. Technically. But Mystique is Mystique, so of course she does. The Dark Beast, Beast's evil twin from the Alternate Timeline of Age of Apocalypse, was killed off in a 2019 issue of Uncanny X-Men. However, Sinister is actually keeping his head alive in a laboratory.
