I wonder just what Farouk's actual game is. At different points in his shpiel he seems to be saying different things. There's one point where he seems to imply that he wants Rahne's help specifically because she's a mother who can be a parent to the kids. But elsewhere he seems to imply that it's her 'damage' that makes her the best choice to help them. If it's the latter then the better choice would be the person who was even more damaged but has succeeded in moving past that, not the person who just suffered a huge trauma an hour ago. I feel like Farouk is gathering pets.

Farouk is a chaos entity who has only ever wanted to spread as much destruction and hate across the world as he can. Look back at the Muir Island Saga, he was using Polaris (with her Zaladane powers) as a means to spread hate across the entire globe. Hell, Claremont intended for Farouk to be responsible for everything in the X-Men (an author of all your pain type deal) to try and bring about a chaotic Days of Future Past type future. Assuming Vita is following that, well I would assume Farouk is stirring **** and seeing where it takes him.

After the sh!t he pulled with karma why would Rahne even listen to that mess?

I think the idea here is that the Shadow King was riding Farouk? Like he did with Karma? So maybe they do not know the Shadow King itself is back.

The thing is, we still do not have confirmation that the Shadow King is indeed involved or that this is just Farouk. When I read all previous issues, it does not make clear if Farouk is doing bad stuff, or just following what he thinks is good. It seems he believes he is making the kids stronger and no alternative motives have been shown yet.

Farouk has always been connected to Shadow King, but I think this might just be the guy himself.

The previous issues implied that Farouk and the Shadow King were separate beings that had merged due to spending so much time bonded, which was the prevailing theory prior to this.
