Empyre: X-Men #3 preview

[BroHomo]

I think mayyyyyyyyybe they brought in a few too many psychics. Quentin was not needed since he's been showcased in X-Force. SUPER glad they left out Jean and Emma. Should've left out the Cuckoos as well.

Exodus needs to do something with his insane power set, so I'm glad he's there. Selene as well... though I hope this is a worthy showcase for her. Karma and Dani better have some good moments because they didn't get much in New Mutants. Hope we see Blindfold! (Speaking of... I hope she gets some awesome follow-up story regarding her fate from before Krakoa.)

I think she's still dead buddy

Agreed. We might get some nice Karma and Dani moments and see the villains do some cool stuff. We don't need to bring in the big guns to do all the work.

Riiiight!!

Marvel finally seems to remember that Dani has psychic powers

lol

I believe so which to me is a wasted opportunity especially given the writer. Would have been a perfect time to give us a basic understanding of they/them as a pronoun which could have put something there to explore later and maybe give us more understanding on pronouns. But I also understand the want to not make it seem personal. But krakoa and arrano would have been a great segway into that kind of information.

Eh I'd rather they not use 2 non humanoid and masses to start "that conversation"

Jean is in the space beach with Rachel.

Is this the first time that they speak of Krakoa as "she"?

I took it how most countries are referred to as female /male depending on the circumstances

The context here though was Krakoa the mutant, not the country

Selene indeed deserves a worthy showing.

Great avatar. The back of Bobby's head agrees.

Was that confirmed somewhere? Otherwise it would be impossible to say that with any amount of certainty.

Lol thanks. I mean... I'm jealous.

She falls under the same "No Precogs on Krakoa" edict that Moira asked for, of course only Xavier and Magneto are aware of that. But they are preventing the Five from resurrecting Destiny, so they could do the same with Blindfold

[nx01a]

Moira said no precogs on Krakoa, so that means Destiny and Blindfold are still dead.

[superjosh]

Oh yeah forgot about that. BTW I loved that moment between Blindfold and Destiny at the end Necrosha... so good! I hope somewhere in the future (har har) when Destiny makes her vengeful return that Blindfold plays a part.

Probably a missed opportunity to bring in Mimic, the changeling with psychic and TK abilities.

Are there no others that Moira, Xavier, and Magneto may need to deal with?

-Pav, who would think there's gotta be a bunch of former plot device-type characters with precog powers...

I think it could have worked without being offensive. By opening the dialogue they could have had another character identify with what krakoa identified with as well with the pronouns. Krakoa as havok83 mentioned already is also a mutant not just an inanimate island.

Psylocke better not start having precognitive flashes again after all these decades.
And that Guthrie boy who painted the future, is he dead?

Don't both Rachel and jean have slight precog abilities as well. I could be wrong but I remember on several occasions both of them getting psychic flashes of things to come. Actually it makes sense to me most powerful telepaths would have some sort of ability such as that if the situation is dire enough. Most mutant powers seem to want to preserve their mutant. Which makes a whole lot of sense when you think about it as mutants literally exist especially in hickman's era as the natural evolution for survival. There is psionic residual energy in every facet of the mu it seems. Also wouldn't Rachel's chrono skimming be a HUGE threat. She should know anything and everything about krakoa and those on the island if she chronoskimmed them.

[ExodusCloak]

Emma and the Cuckoos have demonstrated recognition as well. Its a power that every telepath has but I guess they're limiting power sets now

[Thundershot]

Probably a missed opportunity to bring in Mimic, the changeling with psychic and TK abilities.

616 Mimic is not a mutant, but he often mimics mutant powers... which is why he’s probably on Krakoa. Mimic needs used more..

[Viteh]

They never forgot. She only got them back a year ago

How did Dani get her powers back? Did she also do the crucible ceremony?
