I still don't get the logic why Krakoa would create a whole planet for a culture that is prone to war. In theory, Arrako (island's) limited resources and proximity to Krakoa kept Arrako's warring ambitions in check. Now they have a whole planet and Krakoa taught them how to achieve greater things by combining powers.
After that conversation with Namor, I wouldn't be surprised if Magneto murders Namor and Krakoa refuses to resurrect him immediately. Why do it? They moved Arakko to Mars because it was a mutant culture that demonstrated it is incompatible with humans and Earth. Similarly, Namor made clear his ambitions: rule the Earth and bring all to heel. Alternatively: perhaps they give Mars' oceans and surface to Namor?
But really, influence and negotiation are about using your offerings as leverage. It will be hard to keep Arrako (and Namor) in check after they haven given Mars away and still (personally) occupy a marginalized island on Earth. The message it sends: they are naive; don't understand power and how to use it.
On another note - looking forward to seeing the mutant circuit that is created by the upcoming X-Men team... especially Rogue + Synch.
If it's Namor then Magneto is an enormous fucking idiot because it means his island nation just declared war on Atlantis
It's difficult to say how rational mutants are acting right now because we don't yet know to what extent they're influenced by Orchis.
That's why they created the Lake Hellas Diplomatic Ring for the Arraki. They don't want it to be complete free-for-all on Mars so they have the opportunity to host important diplomatic meetings. They're indeed prone to war but this gives them a bit of a purpose. Whether it will work or not we don't know but I'm looking forward to finding out.

Krakoa, Arakko, and Otherworld forever!
The "barrier world" thing also makes me realize that Earth is between Mercury and Mars...maybe there are more secret agendas than being let on
But how though cause he was on the island in seconds in his first X-Factor appearance, so if that's the case is they security just that trash any human with powers could run/swim to the island undetected, or did he just pass through a gate undetected cause he was read as a mutant? They leave it obscure for a reason. Even the flower could just be because Eye Boy didn't know one way or another, i honestly doubt Leah will even address it.
