What makes a god? Divinity and Mythology in the Krakoa era

Damn this goes hard...... What is this?

Daken, a street level mutie, have murdered Asgardians during Siege. Hell, a smart teen have been able to flat out humiliate Thor with some plot device. I guess Asgardians aren't gods now...

You forgot the Demiurge who's killing the game right now!

In a early post I put Wiccan to

She’s still not a god

Haven't they always been basically humans with extensive lifespan and super strength and really advanced tech? Honestly if that's the case they fall under the Storm category where they were just venerated as gods despite the contrary.

'I have been a goddess longer than you have been alive!' Krakow!

In the heat of the moment, super-heroes are well known to say all kinds of things.
A bit like wrestlers…

I totally agree. I like storm she’s rad and a amazing character but it still doesn’t make her a god

All this discussion really makes me want to get more into this Black Panther!! I can't seem to though keep putting it down, though I am excited to get the goddess stuff with Storm. I hate to say this I always thought her reverence as a goddess was due to ignorance with the Africans and it always made me feel some type of way as a POC myself now I'm actually intrested.

you are going to love it. coates did a great job considering she is a secondary character.

Was she born from gods or something or is she a messiah figure. Like power was given to her by the gods

ororo bloodline is how she has said ability which extends back to the dawn of humanity.



her true divinity was even captured in hieroglyphics in the pyramids of Egypt:



as the gentleman said the stones do not lie. the foundation was laid years ago, coats finally just tied together all the loose ends.

Okay I think your changing my mind. So are there any panels on this blood line or issue you can link me to to look up

lolol.. I'm not trying to change your mind but simply provide context through canon. though I'm glad you are coming over to the dark side lol .. these references, in full transparency, in regards to her bloodline going back to the dawn of humanity some used it to talk to her mystical heritage; however, when you look at these stories with what we know now I believe it can be used as evidence to help explain how she is a true goddess. these things havent been fully explained but I believe it offers hints as to what we are now reading.

That’s awesome! And a very relatable sentiment lol. On of the things I appreciate most about his run is that it flipped the “ignorant savages” trope on its head by making Xavier and everyone else in the “civilized world”, the ones who underestimated her and judged a mutant book by its cover. One of my favorite quotes by Coates that you’ll be coming across soon is by T’challa in regards to Ororo when she reminded him she will never just be his “Queen” again. “I knew that then and I know it now. How could I have tried to cage something as wondrous as you? I was barely a King...and you were always something more than a Queen.”
