Since the discussion of godhood has blown up the Hellions thread, and there is a lot of interesting discussion to be had regarding divinity, mythology, and godhood in the Krakoan era, I figured (with Veitha's encouragement!) that I'd shift the topic to its own thread.
What is it that makes a god then?
Is Storm an actual goddess? Black Panther's series paints her as such as Hadari Yao, being directly empowered by the faith, prayers, and belief of Wakanda. Does being born from human preclude her from being divine? How do gods come about?
Are mutants in general approaching apotheosis? They've conquered death through The Five, which I've previously likened to ambrosia or Idunn's apples, which are how the Olympian and Norse gods maintain their immortality in their respective mythologies. They have a cult following amongst humans, but this is how many religions get their start.
Nightcrawler is also talking about founding a new religion for Krakoa. While there isn't much on this yet, what sort of divinity do you see being central to it? Do you think the mutant religion will be an offshoot from human religions or something completely new? Will mutants place themselves as their own gods?
