Does 'Make More Mutants' Place an Undue Burden On Women?

[BroHomo]

This ain't Crossed...I really don't need my escapist superhero comics to be telling stories about a serial rapist tbh

lol ikr as if theres not already a plethora of tv shows/books/podcasts for people to get their murder kinks satisfied

Unless Xavier and Moira have found another way of making babies, Krakoa's third law places the responsibility of mutant continuation on and in the body of every post-pubescent, pre-menopausal female mutant.

What if they don't want to have kids right now? Or ever? Sure, some will be fine making little muties and won't need encouragement, but it's one of the founding principles of the state. Suggested by a man.

What if mutant women aren't brewing them up fast enough? Will Krakoan flowers poke holes in condoms or something?

That's a very bold assumption... These are mutants we are talking about for all you know there are mutant men that can give birth, or tans men or non Binary mutants and such. It's also more of a oh so having more mutant babies is like very encouraged but not a by force thing.

From what we've seen in the text, 'Make More Mutants' seems to almost entirely been in the hands of the Five, who have made *many* more mutants during the age of Krakoa than the ladies have produced with their uteruses.

But Apocalypse has them all beat. He 'made' millions of new mutants by inviting the Arakki to Earth. The Five are going to have to resurrect all of Genosha to catch up to that feat.

Meanwhile, Lucinda Guthrie just waves it off. "Make More Mutants? Already did my part. I'm just gonna sit this one out."

If any human should live in Krakoa, it should be her.

She wouldn't do it....who else is gonna keep those dirty Cabots in line?

I misread that as "human shield" and it made way too much sense.

Most of her kids are already on Krakoa aren’t they?
Sam’s in space with his wife and kid. But Paige, Melody, Jay, Jeb.
Elizabeth should have gotten her powers by now.

Has Jeb been repowered? Paige has power, Jay was resurrected, Melody went thru ritualized suicide....so at least 4 of her kids are there.

Jeb was depowered and is still a minor...not sure how that would work for Crucible...is killing a child to repower him OK?

Melody is even younger than Jeb. So the answer is yes.

Are you sure...on the ages? I never seem to remember what order they were born in.

*Supposedly* Hope and Wanda used the Phoenix Force to undo at least some of the effects of the Decimation, back in the day. Maybe Jeb was one of them, since it sure didn't seem to affect a ton of other named mutants who mysteriously remained Decimated?

And yeah, it would be neat to see Jeb's unclear power get explored (some sort of blue cold energy plasma that looked like lightning or fire, but didn't burn the kid he used it on, so it could have been cool energy plasma, or illusion, or who knows!). And also to see Elizabeth get her 'Amazon' size-changing powers, first hinted at in Age of Apocalypse.

And hey, maybe Cissie, Joelle and Louis can get mutations, and that mysterious nameless tenth girl can get an actual name!

Joelle works better as that token human sibling, who joined the anti-mutant group, but learned her lesson.
