And here, he gets to completely redefine the rules of what it means to be a mutant. But he’s also known for creating wild sci-fi worlds in self-created series like The Manhattan Projects and East of West. Jonathan Hickman is no stranger to Marvel books, with popular runs writing Fantastic Four, The Avengers, and the ambitious 2015 crossover Secret Wars. Under the banner of a nation-state, led by the Quiet Council, many mutants have allied with Krakoa, including former X-Men villains Magneto and Apocalypse. A mutant’s mind can be backed up, so that if they fall in battle, they can be reborn and their memories restored.
Xavier has built a new home for his people on the living island Krakoa, and in return Krakoa has given them access to wild gifts, including miracle cures for diseases, dimensional gateways, and most importantly, practical immortality. In the story collected in the House of X/Powers of X graphic novel, a new normal is established for mutantkind, totally shifting their role in the Marvel universe. But even if you’re familiar with Professor Charles Xavier and his gifted students, you’re not ready for the wild reality of the Hickman Omnibus. And that’s not even mentioning the different alternate universes, such as those recounted in Days of Future Past, Age of Apocalypse and House of M. Your first taste of the mutant superheroes could’ve come from Fox’s long-running movie franchise, which also includes the Wolverine and Deadpool movies. Or maybe you remember the Fox cartoon that used that run as a jumping-off point. Perhaps you grew up reading Chris Claremont’s definitive run on the comics in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s.
