    Default Gods and Goddesses on Krakoa?

    In gathering all the mutant together, we’re getting some pretty strange bedfellows.

    Off the top of my head we have Selene and The Morrigan (via Siryn).
    Is Apocalypse a god?
    Who else?
    And do we count Storm or is that only when she’s in Wakanda?
    What elevates them to divinity, rather than just being a really long lived powerful being? Exodus is pretty old too.
    Illyana is the absolute ruler of her own pocket dimension, does that make her a goddess, if only to her subjects?

    Selene and Apocalypse are not gods.

    Well, Selene did get Amora to bow before her, as she should, so...

    I thought Selene was? I might be wrong.
    Apocalypse just has divine delusions.

    She's just a normal mutant. In Necrosha, she was able to ascend to become a god but was defeated and hasnt risen back to those power levels

    She's an immortal mutant sorceress. Not too many 20,000 year old mutants around. She's a powerful sorceress who nearly took over the world during the Kulan Gath storyline. Amora bowed to her (Selene is pretty powerful). She has always been far more than just a normal mutant. She's taken on entire teams of X-Men.

    I define a God as anyone who has worshipers. If you are prayed to as a God (by a decent amount of people) you are a God. So Storm, Apoc, etc
    I only continue to read X-books because I don't spend any money on it.

    If you are prayed to as a god by a decent amount of people, if you already have powers that boosts your powers tremendously. Even the Asgardians and Olympians have said this.

    Yes. She's a hell lord and other hell lords like Hela and Pluto are considered gods.

    Considering how Storm reintroduced resurrected mutants to Krakoa, she's elevated to divinity as people put faith in her.

    If Jean becomes Phoenix again, she's a god.

    Apocalypse and Selene, as immortal mutants were worshipped as gods and were effectively gods.

    IDK 'bout gods, but think it's probable that various cults of personality will be at play & at odds, as time goes on. KrakoArakko's seemingly sublime sedation effect can only last so long, IMO. Even without it, the state of affairs is such, that's it's a breeding ground for divergent factions developing eventually.

    Thought Storm was just a mutant human "mistaken" for a god?

    Yeah, doesn't Wakanda revere her as a Queen, not a deity?

    .
    Storm was utilized more like a cult activist/prophet than Goddess on Krakpa
