    Because it needs to for story purposes.

    Depends on whether or not you want to count that horrible retcon with the Danger Room being alive.

    And while he's not an X-man himself, the X-men seem pretty okay with Mr. Sinister these days and he wouldn't even allow his slaves to die.

    It's very telling to me how many people go after Attilan for slavery, but ignore the fact they abolished it, nearly 50 years ago.
    It's like people don't have much to say and need to keep falling back on that.

    I liked them as cosmic book like during War of Kings and Realm of Kings. They should be leading the Krees and stay away from Earth.

    Did they? It was a big plot point in a not so old Inhuman book if I remember correctly.

    You mean Once and Future Kings? The one set while the Royals were teens?

    The book that makes no sense considering Triton was present for the Lusitania and “knew” Namor’s mom?

    Mike Carey walked that back. He retconned it such that Xavier wanted to free Danger, but neither he nor the Shi'ar could figure out how without killing her.

    Nobody seems to have read those particular issues, though.

    You know what would be cool? If they showed Krakoa being welcomed into the Olympics. That would be fun.

    There should already be a super Olympics for superpowered individuals.

    It just makes sense.
    The Krakoans are EEEvil!

    THEY MUST BE STOPPED!

    Okay, that would be cool as hell. It'd be interesting to see how they deal with entrants who have no upper limit to their power.

    Concurring with all of you on this. Super-Olympics for the superpowered would be spectacular. Spider-Man representing America and Nightcrawler representing Krakoa in a gymnastic showdown would be the highlight, I'd think.
    The spider is always on the hunt.
