    I'm sticking with Moira being the reason that mutantkind fails.
    My flag is bacon.

    That seems likely, waaaaay more likely than being a "fake Moira" like some posters are suggesting. And it might not even be on purpose- the Dominions exist outside of time, but they clearly must be affected in their plans by things resetting decades, or even millennia, outside of it when Moira dies. So, some have suggested that part of the reason for the man-mutant-machine wars, if not the main one, is that the Dominions know that mutants are the reason for that, but they don't know why, or which mutant is the cause.

    Either that or Moria is terrified that she would act against her no matter what...

    To be honest it feels like one of those dumb self fulfilling type prophecies. Keeping the precogs down will make them work against her...

    Blindfold and Destiny should be huge alies right now.
    In the real world i would be BOTH pro registration and Pro mutant rights. Xavier and Trask were both right.

    They'd see Tini Howard getting booted from Excalibur.

    Was she even a mutant? Because, unless they were lied to about it, they can only resurrect mutants.

    Ohh this is a good question, all we know is that whatever happened between Destiny and Moira it ended up with Moira being toasted - literally.

    My guess as to what precogs see: the atrocities that mutants do in the name of survival.

    According to the Marvel Database . . . yes. Under Origin in her stats, it says: "Human mutant whose blindness and physical limitations allowed her mind to tap into its mystical potential giving her advanced mental powers."

    Her being a mutant isn't the problem - Sinister and Jackal exchange notes. They're only interested in certain parties because of which section of Marvel they're in. They'd both be able to resurrect clones, though Sinister's are higher quality, since the Five rely on Sinister's ben stores - that's what he's there for. Cerebro also copies mutants but that technology is just telepathy amplified mutant telepathy ins't any different from any other psyche. They could create a clone of Peter Parker if they wanted to and got his DNA. His psyche may not be exact but even the soul was transferred in Jackal's experiments and he didn't need the Five or Cerebro. The main reason they keep it to mutants it because of editorial and Krkao society is hilariously anti-non mutant. Question is
    why aren't the Five thinking about about cloning other beings even for curiosity sake?

    They cant. All they can do is create a body for her. Resurrection isnt complete until a telepath (Xavier) places the mind into the husk. The chances of someone accidentally being resurrected is low

    When was it stated that only mutants can be resurrected? The Five can create a cloned body. A person does not need to be a mutant for that to happen. All they would need is the DNA. Cerebro works on non-mutant minds, which is why the Crucible works. For them to resurrect a non-mutant, it would need to be very deliberate as they arent automatically cataloging humans

    I had this notion back in the day that the Celestials showed up to various planets in their formative days and seeded the to-be-dominant species with the potential for mutation, and created a servitor race of Eternals able to combine into a Uni-Mind, as part of a bigger plan.

    When the planet was finally 'ripe,' and had millions of mutants, the Celestials would return, the Eternals would combine into a Uni-Mind one last time, and all of mutantkind (and whatever remains of humanity), would merge into a fledgling Celestial, joining the Host and leaving the lifeless husk of their world behind.

    Moira's plan, and now the arrival of so many mutants from Arakko, is hastening the day the Fourth Host returns to pluck the ripening fruit...

    Technically, the Jackal and Mister Sinister raided each other's labs, but your point is an interesting one. If the rest of the world discovers Krakoan immortality, they could end up turning to the Jackal and his advanced cloning techniques to match or compete against that, or even Tony Stark's biotech regeneration method that restored him and James Rhodes back in the finale of Brian Bendis's Iron Man run. After all, one of the great fears surrounding transhumanism is that without death as the great equalizer, with certain groups of people being able to cheat death on a routine basis, it'll set the stage for an immortal overclass and a permanent underclass of "mere mortals" consigned to live forever, proverbially speaking, under the boot of said overclass.

    Sounds like how Earth X's sequels in that universe answered a lot of the questions about the true nature and origin of a lot of things in Marvel continuity, even if those answers didn't necessarily apply to Earth-616.
