Krakin’ Krakoa #57: Is Hickman’s X-Men An Alternate Reality?

by Leave a Comment

Since the launch of House of X and the Hickman era of X-Men, and certainly throughout my Krakin’ Krakoa exploration of X-Comics, the possibility of Krakoa as an alternate reality is a popular and potentially exciting theory. The ambition and vision of Professor X, Magneto, Moira MacTaggert and mutantkind is grand enough that it begs the question whether all this change is really happening in Marvel’s core Earth-616 timeline.

  • Who are the Omega Level mutants most likely to play a role in a Hickman era alt universe?
  • If there is an alternate reality in play, what should it look like?
