Keeping track of all of Hickman's plot threads

[Luckystar.]

This reminds me, have all Sinister's secrets been resolved?

Still have no idea what the secret about a Sinister with red shoes was about. Didn't seem that important though - just cryptic.

Maybe they were made of red herring skin.

[Triniking1234]

Orchis: Since Duggan is taking over, they might just show up as generic villains now until the final act, whenever that is.

Mars: Set piece that might show up once in a while

Franklin: Don't bother. His fate depends on Slott now.

Cardinal and Rasputin should show up since Hickman was hyping them up in House and Powers.

Nimrod: Generic villain.

Post-humans: Might show as generic villains like we saw in X-Force.

Moira: I'll wait until Inferno to complain

Apocalypse: Off the board unless Tini Howard or someone else brings him back.

Sinister: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Douglock: Nothing's gonna happen since no one's used Doug since he got married and Warlock is stuck in New Mutants which is dragging out one simple storyline forever.

Phalanx: Probably Duggan and/or Ewing will do something with them?

Vault: Ongoing since we still need to know the effects of them getting Darwin's bio-data.

Arrako: Can't be done since we know that they have their own council and we still don't know if they're 100% loyal to the X-Men.

Whoredeculture: Don't care.

Mystique and Destiny: Destiny might come back but I don't until Inferno drops.

Xandra: SWORD stuff or dropped

Brood: SWORD stuff or dropped

Vulcan: dropped

Sidri: dropped

Sea witch key: dropped

ZA WARUDO: dropped

[Triniking1234]

Oh, I don't recall that, do you remember where that was explained?

It would have to be in Ayala's New Mutants which: (1) I'm behind on and (2) Hickman never wrote Warlock after X of Swords.

This is pretty much my take as well. Shame since I was most interested in the threads that are probably going to be dropped. But at least we will see more of these villains so that’s something… I guess?

We have a Brood appearing in the New Mutants preview and Broo is mentioned.

SABRETOOTH: dropped in an imprisonment pit? Yeah, was done with Hickman right there.

And X of Swords might have been some of the most bloated self indulgent claptrap this side of a Hickman Image book.

Same here. Namely for the flawed way it was done. For such a so-called good writer, he was a total bum for that one. lol!

Then you claim to love a certain character who's in your top 5 favs. yet of those top 5, she's the one you did hardly anything with.

...Whoredeculture: Don't care....

Hey! That is not a nice way to refer to Jean’s polyamorous living situation.

So that bothers you, but genocidal robots built by prejudice psychopaths don't?

I think you are missing my point, which was a joke. Notice the winking smiley faces I posted?

Look at how Triniking1234 spelled the word “horticulture.”

...Whoredeculture: Don't care....

[Devaishwarya]

Apart from the Destiny/Moira/Mystique and Orchis/Nimrod plots which he's dealing with in Inferno...I'm quite okies with everything else being dropped completely or given minimal preference elsewhere, whenever.

Eh, it never will, but I say that as part of the nature of the character. Sinister's the type of character that's designed where every writer will have an opportunity to add a new secret, built that way by Claremont.

Whatever secrets Hickman had in store for Sinister would be hard to tell if the resolution came from Hickman or taken in a different direction by future writers, but every time Sinister reveals one answer, he gets at least two more secrets.

As for Hordeculture, I enjoyed seeing them in the latest Man-Thing mini-event crossover, and I'd love to see them in more and more books outside the X-Men (though they were written very generically in Children of the Atom).

I just read this. Yeah, it definitely looks like Vita is picking up this plot thread. I've updated the list.
