X-Men #1 Discussion Thread [Spoilers]

They have the power to create anything they want. Forge could have built something to make it or Alchemy (if resurrected) could have transformed another metal into it

Orchis was the one who had the vibranium wall though. Forge and Alcheny wouldn't work for them

[Havok83]

The Orchis wall.

Incidentally, while we’re all steamed up about the sinful room sharing, I looked up Orchis and it’s a kind of orchid, named after the Latin word for testicles.

Oh my bad, you're right. It is suspect

[JKtheMac]

But the same person who started the Inhuman uprising is writing the mutants.

wait...

Dammit, Hickman!!!

This keeps coming up but it is not accurate. Hickman was writing his Avengers books and he had left a number of Inhuman threads dangling from his Fantastic Four story that Fraction wanted to play with. Fraction did a load of work on it and consulted with Hickman on the Infinity book in order to set up his story.

Then Marvel threw a spanner in the works and started demanding a new direction for the Inhumans. Fraction kept adapting his work but there were clearly incompatibilities so Marvel took Inhumans away from Fraction. Fraction pointed out that he had spent months on the project at Marvel’s request and wanted to be paid for his time. Marvel said that unpublished work was not something they paid for and Fraction basically insisted which left a rift between him and Marvel.

Officially Marvel paid for the material and handed it on to future writers but how much of it was used is a secret. In other words we can say with near certainty that the direction established in Infinity bears very little resemblance to the travesty that Marvel were actually insisting upon and we ended up reading.

Especially with Wakanda currently a "non-treaty nation". Hickman is up to something.

[butterflykyss]

So yeah...let's talk about that vibranium wall...how did they get their hands on THAT much?


T'challa, sir...

they could have mined it from a source in space. vibranium isnt native to earth.

[Havok83]

With Jean, Wolverine and Cable on other teams in other parts of the world, I suspect that house will feel rather empty most of the time

[butterflykyss]

I must say Jean and cable were soooooo cute. they have a chance to get time with their son they originally had lost.

[Frobisher]

I must say Jean and cable were soooooo cute. they have a chance to get time with their son they originally had lost.

Makes me wonder if Kid Cable was mandated to make the Summers family work better for this relaunch. I’m not sure the timing lines up for that to be the case though.

[Havok83]

Jean can actually claim him this time as she and Scott had to keep their identities secret when they originally raised him. What we saw here was a new dynamic for them

[JKtheMac]

Especially with Wakanda currently a "non-treaty nation". Hickman is up to something.

Maybe The Vanisher was actually a secret Wakandan agent with plausible deniability, and his smuggling to the criminal underworld was a front for an anti-mutant contingency operation.

No, T'challa gave it to them

I just know it!
He's jealous cause he knows 'Ro is getting some on Krakoa *shrugs*

Could be, hickman is working on x-men books since the begining of the last year

You guys, I'm so glad to see so many people enjoying this issue - it's a joy and a great time to be on this forum. Everyone is having fun! The characters sound fantastic and I believe Hickman heard people's notes about his past character work. Well done. I'm over the [blue side of the] moon!

Even you spirit2011, I know you're loving all of this. :-D That Krakoan essential oil diffusing in your room is working.

P.S. I didn't realize how much I love Scott. His tenderness to everyone was beautiful, especially Ororo. Ol' boy scout is acting boy scout-y again.

i'm not lovin this, characters that I simply don't know anymore

[Woozie]

Are they just not gonna address Vulcan? Cause i feel of everything, you probably should address Vulcan.

[Frobisher]

Oh yeah, and the fact we’re going straight into Arakko next month, with the Orchis scenes apparently setting up future plots, is as super Claremontian as the mid-fight conversations.

[Beetle]

Wakanda refused to have any bilateral trade agreements with Krakoa because they "don't need mutant drugs"
