That's a killer creative team and a badass roster. I'd probably sub out Bedlam & Bling! for Anole & Marrow, just because in my ideal Krakoa I plan to have Bedlam & Bling! elsewhere.
Who else do you have in mind? Melter, Bruiser, Lightbright, Purple Woman, Bombshell & Gwenpool perhaps
Well I knew that I needed Monet, Everett & Paige in there. Jubes, Jono & Mondo are taken by Excalibur & New Mutants respectively. Wolverine (Laura), Hellion, Rockslide & Mercury make the cut because the Academy X/New X-Men characters outside of Prodigy & Elixir aren't really in use right now and I think they'd interact really well with Penance, Synch & Husk. They've probably been through just as much, and they're just as powerful. The supporting cast is just built around the friends and family of my cast. Icarus, Tag & Wind Dancer in particular need some solid panel time.
I had a similar pitch but couldn't think of the right name for it. Both of those are great suggestions. I had Bishop, Shard, Fixx, Frenzy, Surge, Warpath, Risque, Sunpyre & Vincente on mine.
I put my Legion pitch into the thread already but yeah I'm dying for him to show up in this new era for mutantkind. I suggested Charles Xavier & Amelia Voght (in a romantic relationship), Madison Jeffries & Cecilia Reyes as consultants, and Typhoid Mary as a potential love interest. Regarding Mary, she struggles with a personality disorder of her own, and possesses various powersets. I think they'd be really damn interesting together.
Children of the Atom
set on the continent of Marvel Africa (to begin with). Storm mentored mutants set about providing aid where needed while dealing with growing anti-mutant sentiment.
Oya (Idie Okonkwo, a temperature controlling mutant from Nigeria & the most independent of the 5 lights)
Gentle (Nezhno Abidemi, a potentially Hulk level strongman from Wakanda)
Maggot (the ever irreverent swashbuckling South African, Japheth, always accompanied by the giant slugs that used to be his digestive system - very much the outsider in the “Real World” house)
Mjnari (a Kenyan mutant with super human speed named for a famous tribal elder. The least experienced and most impulsive of this crop. He has the potential to be the fastest non-cosmic runner in the marvel universe. But his body has to heal after every personal speed record that he breaks )
Kidogo (Lazaro Kotikash, also from Kenya, a micromorph who has created his own gravity-defying fighting style after learning how to rapidly alter his own weight and density separate of his physical size. He’s relatively peace-loving and sees combat as more of an opportunity to show off more than an opportunity to cause harm.)
The Magnum Twins (children of Moses Magnum and an unnamed Italian woman/mutant- the female (Vibrata) can release a devastating shockwave by adjusting her voice and the male (Tremore) can increase the force of his attacks & strength by vibrating his molecules) - they are somewhat in probation after attacking Wakanda)
Y'know what would be absolutely incredible?
I'd love to see David Hine come back to do a sequel to District X, but showing what those characters are doing now in the era of the mutant state of Krakoa. I really loved how unique many of the characters and their powers were, like the man who turned into a tree and grew fruit, or the man who created fantastic animals from his dreams or nightmares.
District X gave us a wonderful look at mutant life and culture during its original era, and its something I think would be wonderful to see now as well.

You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.

This idea is also amazing! Finally it puts Polaris in the spotlight and the Consort is great.,.it actually makes me quite sad that this probably won’t happen, but we can hope right? Plus it can also Bring Pietro back knit tye fold of things...he’s been gone for too long...
The New Acolytes(P.S. this assumes that Pietro and Wanda are made to be Magneto’s children again)
Cast: Polaris, Exodus, Quicksilver, Nightcrawler, Prestige, Danger, Fabian Cortez, Lady Mastermind, and Frenzy
Supporting Cast: Magneto, Captain America, Tony Stark, Scarlet Witch, Mystique, Crystal of The Inhumans, Banshee, and Mastermind
Purpose of each cast member:
Polaris: Leader
Exodus: Powerhouse
Quicksilver:
Nightcrawler:
Prestige: Telepath
Danger: Smart person
Fabian Cortez:
Lady Mastermind:
Frenzy:
I think the purpose for this team, at least on the surface, is for two reason. 1, To manage mutant public imagine, and 2, to do kind of what happens after mutants get to Krakoa and to establish public services and stuff on Krakoa. This is what THE NEW ACOLYTES do on the surface.
While they do that, the more shadier reason is because Magneto doesn’t trust certain people in and outside Krakoa. So he forms The New Acolytes(delegates it to Lorna and Exodus...they can be co-leaders)and their REAL purpose is to deal with large-scale threats to Krakoa.
So kind of how like X-Force deals with Krakoa’s security and does a lot of shady things in the background. The New Acolytes takes down major villains that would be against Krakoa...down below will be a list of their adversaries.
Also, The New Acolytes very very secretly investigate certain people on Krakoa who are not trustworthy. And I’ll be listing those people below.
Surface purpose of team allies and adversaries:
Allies: None...
Neutral: Captain America, Spider-Man, other Avengers
(Presumed) Adversaries: Scarlet Witch, President of the USA, generally some human people and some unruly people on Krakoa
Magneto’s 1st Shady Real Reason for forming the team(to take down major villains against Krakoa)
Allies: Crystal of the Inhumans, Medusa of the Inhumans, Black Bolt of The Inhumans
Neutral:
(Presumed) Adversaries: Deadpool, other villainous people who are jealous of Krakoa
Magneto’s 2nd Shady Reason for forming the team(to investigate shady and untrustworthy people Krakoa)
Allies: Magneto and Banshee
Neutral: None too important...
(Presumed) Adversaries: Mystique, Mastermind, Mister Sinister, Apocalypse, Moira, other people on Krakoa who are threats...and might be trying to ruin everything.
Romantic Relationships:
I definitely think that Exodus and Polaris should get together.
IMHO they have great potential, plus with the whole Expdus being obsessed with Magneto would be funny and because Lorna and Havok do NO belong together anymore, anyways. I think that Crystal and Pietro should get BACK together. Again nowadays they have both changed and are better for one another than they were in say 2006. I think that Nightcrawler and Prestige(Rachel Summers)should get together. They’re great friends and both care about each other, also have great chemistry together. And I think that Lady Mastermind and Frenzy should get together. Frenzy is a former acolyte and Lady Mastermind is mastermind’s daughter...plenty to relate over and would be fun, I think.
Platonic Relationships: there should definitely be a friendship between Polaris/Prestige/Frenzy/Lady Mastermind. Uhh, cause they’re is so much they can all relate over...and would be fun with all the differing personalities. Also between Exodus/Nightcrawler. They have extreme difference, but I feel they both have this code of honor, are good, and wise...plus Nightcdawler is forgiving and would forgive Exodus for his past actions and mistakes. And one between Quicksilver/Fabian Cortez/Banshee. Uhh...cause Pietro can like forgive Cortez for kidnapping his daughter to see that would be interesting and Banshee can complain about how his life sucks...and Pietro can complain and so can Fabian.
Other Relationships:
This is a big one and mainly to explore the familial bonds between these people...since most of them have notable family members and toxic/dysfunctional families.
Lorna/Magneto/Scarlet Witch/Quicksilver. This has to happen they all need to forgive and redeem and bond and stuff, all of them, and get that toxicity out of the way. Quicksilver/Luna. Luna currently goes to a boarding school in England...yeah she needs to be taken out of there and bright to Krakoa to be with her family even though she’s not a mutant there are cases(such as Jubilee’s child Shogo)where humans can live there...even if she does not live there she should bond with her father more. Nightcrawler/Mystique cause...well we all know Mystique is not a good parent I don’t think that Raven should now all of a sudden be a good parent, but I think they should come to some sort of peace and be cordial...but I don’t see a TRUE parent/child relationship between them. Mastermind/Lady Mastermind. We don’t se much if any of their relationship..would like to see some dynamics. A little of Prestige/and Grey-Summer’s family...but not too much since we have that in the main X-Men line...and even in X-Force some.
Okay, so to explain further I will be going through the arcs of this story and what it will lead up to in the end
Arc 1: The formation of the team how they all get together and stuff...how Magneto approaches them all and all that...
Arc 2: A mission where they save the President of The United States(or an important human figure)to make humans like them more...kinda...but the person they save is ungrateful and becomes and enemy...
Arc 3: How they establish some public services on Krakoa
Arc 4(this is where it really starts): The trail of The Scarlet Witch. This is where the Avengers come in and there’s a debate/argument maybe even a small physically fight...but in the end Wanda agrees and even WANTS to stand trail for her crimes and make amends. And they bring her in(maybe with Exodus like calling her pretender and stuff). The trail would most likely ACTUALLY take place in the main X-Men book, but in here is some booming/forgiveness/closure...the after and before the trial which after Wanda stays in Krakoa and like...helps people and joins the team...part-time, Anyways.
Arc 5: I feel like they should have some empowered villain who wants to like destroy Krakoa or something(I think they should be someone who has a history with the X-Men)and they fight them and defeat them and have Lady Mastermind tamper with their memories. And they get help from the Inhumans and this can be how they are brought in as side characters along with Pietro’s daughter Luna.
Arc 6: I think Mastermind and Mystique should do something to try and sabotage Krakoa and they stop him, with Polaris and Luna being large factors...like I think that Polaris should ALMOST have him defeated and then Luna steps in a helps some kind of way with her empathy...or something. Also this is when the friendshios and other relationships can start to REALLY develop, and then Mastermind should have a tearful goodbye with his daughter as he is banished to the underground with Sabertooth has Mystique only is banished with a large fight from her.
After this I have no clear stuff of what I What to happen, but I want them to like expose Mister Sinister for doing something, idk what and have their be a large blanket of suspiciousn under Apocalypse, but have him be innocent. Once Sinister is dealt with I think that Moira should be discovered to be alive which leads to Charles and Magneto and Moria and their lies all being exposed...maybe by secretly bringing Destiny back since Rachel Summers could maybe influence the five and steal Professor’s thingy to give Destiny her memories. And maybe Mystique resurfaces. I think this should cause a schism where the ones who want to stay on Krakoa will stay and the one who don’t will leave.
As for the team itself I think it should be half and half on who will stay and who will go.
Exodus, Quicksilver, Luna, Danger, And in a shocking turn of events Rachel Summers and Polaris should stay on Krakoa(cause I think we can find out that both these two are not goodie-goodies and kind of do what it takes)
Nightcrawler, Scarlet Witch, Fabian Cortez, Lady Mastermind, and Frenzy choose to leave Krakoa and are on the side of truth. This causes conflict in the way that Kurt and Rachel are separated...Wanda and Pietro are on differing sides...
Anyways, I hope that you guys likes this idea...I know that it’s quite complicated and perhaps even convoluted...but I really like this idea. I wish a book could be made, that will likely never happen. Hey, maybe I’ll write a fan fiction on it(BTS my name on Archiveofourown is ‘FieryMaze’ and my name on fanfiction.net is ‘greatmorgan’...ha ha shameless plug...
How do you guys feel about my idea?

New X-Men: Rotating team of Hellion/Wind Dancer/Surge /Rockslide/Genesis/Mercury/Pixie/Armor/Anole
Giving us the reunion we deserve while they go after the hateful groups that have a mission statement to destroy Krakoa: Sapian League, Purifiers, Friends of Humanity, etc.
It can be a maxi series. Just give it to me.
New Excalibur team after Swords of X:
Brian, Betsy as the Luke/Leia of the X-Men universe must travel through Otherworld to hunt down some loose thread os Swords of X.
Brian has the amuleth
Betsy has the sword
and their team is:
Nightcrawler
Meggan (and Maggie)
Jubilee (and Shogo)
Pete Wisdom
Widget (as the baby sitter)
written by Claremont
drawn by Dauterman
A picture would last longer darling...
Oh, I really like this team.
I do think they should keep Poccy as he's one of the best things about the current run, but Howard's takes on Rogue, Gambit and Rictor won't be missed.
Throw in Pixie and Banshee too and you've got a team.
I don't know if I'd trust Claremont here after his last runs, thought. Tini's work hasn't blown my mind yet but it's still much better than New Excalibur, New Exiles or X-men Forever.

I am kind of cheating since half the team already exists, but I really want an X-Corps title to come out of Empyre with Angel, Penance, Magik, and Multiple Man. Add Synch, Laura, and Darwin when they get back from the World, and Warpath and Nightcrawler (since they are my two favorites without a home right now) and I'll be set. They can be the team that deals with the outside world, setting up treaties and deals and also offer asylum/safehaven to mutants who are not in Krakoa. My team would be divided as:
Angel (Leader and financial backer, the one mutant who can exist in both worlds).
Penance (as the ambassador)
Magik (transportation and all around Badass)
Synch (as someone who can tap into other mutants' powers to try to control them).
Laura (the tracker and the one person who would butt heads with Magik).
Darwin (as the one mutant that can adapt to any condition)
Multiple Man (as the literal one man staff)
Nightcrawler &
Warpath (the stealth team together with Laura that would get in when negotiations fail).
