Keeping track of all of Hickman's plot threads

[Viteh]

(Inferno #4 Spoilers below)

Inferno is over, and Hickman is gone (for now?). I've redone this post to better portray what was resolved, what may be picked up, and what was dropped. I've also included some information we got from a recent interview Hickman gave, which gave us an idea of where some of his stories were going, and which he was unable to finish.

Done

1) Mars - Mars is now planet Arakko. It's just part of the new status quo.

2) Moira X - She was depowered in Inferno, and has left Krakoa. From a recent Hickman interview it seems she may come back in the future, but her role seems to be over for now.

3) Apocalypse - Apocalypse's role in Hickman's story was mainly X of Swords, and brining Arakko back. Inferno #3 gave us a glimpse of what other plans there were for him, but it's uncertain if it may still happen.

4) Doug "infecting" Krakoa - In Inferno it was revealed that this allowed him and Warlock to know everything that happens in Krakoa. Him being in a position of power seems like a new status quo for him.

5) Arakko - See Mars.

6) Hordeculture - I think their role in the story is over. They helped Orchis, and that seems to be it. They may show up again every now and then though.

7) Mystique/Destiny - I think their story is done, at least as part of the Moira X saga. They are now free to pursue their own interests in Krakoa.

8) Wanda making amends - After Trial of Magneto, Wanda has been redeemed to the mutants, as she helped them perfect their resurrection.

9) The Kara Kutuça - Apparently this was just some random mcguffin that was used to get Emma to help Mystique resurrect Destiny.

Unresolved, but we know almost for certain it will be picked up

1) Moira's 9th Life Chimeras - Sinister seemed to be working on Chimeras, but they were destroyed. We may still see more of it in Immortal X-Men.

2) Sinister's betrayal - He's still in the council, and Hellions showed he is still working with mutant DNA. Immortal X-Men will likely continue with his story.

3) Nimrod and Omega Sentinel - Same as Orchis, it looks like they represent a third faction in the conflict, and are becoming recurring antagonists. Appearing in X-Men.

4) Orchis - Still active after Inferno, it looks like they will be just a new recurring antagonists. Appearing in X-Men.

5) Princess/Empress Xandra - She briefly appeared in SWORD, and she will probably show up in X-Men Red.

6) The Phalanx/Dominions - From a recent Hickman interview we know this was seeded for an Imperial Guard book that was dropped. Since Sunspot is joining X-Men Red, and SWORD had some small phalanx mention, this may end up in X-Men Red.

7) Vulcan/Gabriel Summers - Hickman was planning a Vulcan story, but he didn't manage to finish it. X-Men Red will include Vulcan.

Unresolved. Someone will probably pick this up, but we don't know when, where or who

1) Homo Novissima/Post-Humans - It's unlikely we will see anything about them, unless we go into the far future.

2) The Children of the Vault - Inferno #3 teased that they would be back, but we don't know if it will still happen. Maybe in Duggan's X-Men?

3) Broo commands the Brood - Vita briefly mentioned this in New Mutants, but it's not clear if it will continue.

Dropped. It seems unlikely that someone else will pick it up.

1) Franklin Richards - Dan Slott retconned his status as a mutant. It may not be forever, but it looks permanent for now.

2) The Sidri - According to Hickman, Giant-sized X-Men was a mess, and this will likely not go anywhere.

3) The key Magneto got from those sea witches - See above.

4) The sentient being inside the world - See above.

5) Kurt's Mutant Religion - Way of X explored this, but barely. Legion of X may go into Kurt's story, but the religion part seems to have been dropped.

7) The mutant kidnapped by AIM - One unknown mutant was kidnapped by AIM in the X-Men Unlimited Comic.
