So what's Moira's relationship with the X-Men? Especially the O5? I know her and Xavier have history but has she ever interacted with the other members of the X-Men?

stop saying the t word
don't give me hope
my one weakness
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
Regardless what happens, Moira is Marvel’s most significant female genius and I’m glad we’re about to have her back.
Apocalypse confirmed to be the hottest new X-Man. I knew standing in the background during the main fight in Dissassembled would get him far

I've decided that Polaris merged with Krakoa during the events of Giant-Size X-Men and we've actually been seeing her on every cover of this all along.
I can also be reached on BlueSky and Tumblr. Avatar by kahlart.

I think a combination of jean's extraterritoriality idea from X-Men Red and Apocalypse's island from X-Men Black combined with Krakoa in some way means that "X" is gonna tell everyone that Mutants can go to these new worldwide enclaves but the landscape will like, kill humans. And there's some built in teleporter business going on there too. Mutant passports likely. Make sure to reread Fatal Attractions to see what the underwhelming Moira news will be an extension of (probably the explosion of mutant births was her fault, like the x-gene went airborne cuz of her meddling or something). As for the Powers of X characters, as long as they kill Glob and Anole et al then I'll be happy. Who knows. Maybe it'll make Major X make some sense?
Moira was only introduced in the Claremont era, so she never interacted with the O5 during their original run, but later stories have made it so that she was closely involved with Charles's operations, even though they had become estranged(romantically) for more than a decade by the time he was starting to form the team(Amelia Voght was his girlfriend at the time, also a later retcon, and largely forgotten in post-Lobdell canon).
However, in Claremont's run she was fairly close with the new team(first appearing undercover as a 'maid' before busting out a machine gun against that demon), particularly Banshee of course, but she also employed Lorna, Madrox, and Jean at various times at her Muir Island Research Center, not to mention is the legal guardian/adopted mother of Rahne, and had close contact with Kitty, Colossus, and Nightcrawler after their Mutant Massacre injuries, and later Excalibur at large.
It was also revealed that she tampered with Magneto's DNA when he was under her care after having been reverted to a baby at the end of the Silver Age(though it is also revealed that her tampering was essentially undone by the use of his powers, so he was still acting under his own free will for the most part). She worked with Beast and Charles extensively on the Legacy Virus, which she herself contracted eventually, and it was her research that enabled a cure to be found(after her death at the hands of Mystique).
She has been sorely missed in this modern era, with almost no human ally characters of note appearing. It will be interesting to see how Hickman resurrects her, though, as her death was quite definitive, and happen so long ago.

Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
What? None of that makes sense. The X-gene is embedded in the human genome from the Celestials long ago, it is not a modern lab-made thing(at least not in 616). The Legacy Virus anti-virus was dispersed through the air following Colossus's sacrifice, but that was after Moira was already dead.
