Immortal X-Men #16 - Review/Spoilers

[dragon1440]

The members of the Five (specifically, either Proteus or Elixir or even both) probably memorized the genetic structure of some mutants. It is also possible more magical shenanigans are at play by Mother Righteous.

They resurrected and mucked with Kid Omega so many times they probably could do his in there sleep.

[dragon1440]

They specifically mention Mother Righteous can contact The Waiting Room, so no need for genetic material. We'll have to see if she really is contacting The Waiting Room or what else is she resurrecting...

BTW, was nobody else amused by this panel of Egg(s)? (lol)

that makes me think of those clackclack balls from being a kid

The data page mentions that the rest of the five have said they've only been there a few days.

Which flies in the face of everything else that has happened.

Combine that with the multiple Logans and Bishops that are clearly Mother Righteous creations. I'm positive none of the Five, besides Hope, is actually there.

Why is that hard to believe?

[Krakoa]

I feel like Gillen is doing Selene so dirty. Not sure why he dislikes the character so much. The first couple of issues of Immortal X-Men showed her in such a fantastic way but now...

Justice for the first mutant!

Lol. Using a character as a quick side villain doesn't mean they "dislike the character so much".

[Alex.]

Right, yeah, she's probably astral projecting.

I'm not sure if this is a plot hole, or a hint that something is not quite right, but how did they resurrect a mutant without their DNA? I don't think they have the DNA library on them.

It's also kinda odd that the rest of the Five were just scattered in the desert. I'm not sure why I thought they were with the Realm of X team.

Something seems off here.

Because they showed up in the first issue of RoX

[Celestialbodies]

This issue really amps up the stakes, there's so many mysteries converging on one another. What MR real intentions are, how the mutants all ended up in the WHR, Jean's appearance and direct reference of her current mini series, mutant resurrection in the WHR, Hope and Exodus' role in all this, and why do I think this is still the real Apocalypse (Revelation). Next issue can't come fast enough!

[Viteh]

Because they showed up in the first issue of RoX

Thanks, then I was not misremembering.

In that case, there's three options:

1) It's just an error and they shouldn't have been shown in RoX. Edit: The reason why they are only just now showing up is that MR was holding them captive and only released them now so Hope would thank her.

2) They are in RoX and the ones in IXM are fakes created by "Satan"? Or Mother Righteous? Although, if that's the case, why would they say they've only been there for a few days? If they were meant to deceive the mutants then their story would make more sense.

3) They were in RoX, but then they died, and that's how they ended up in the WHR. That would explain why they think they've only been there a few days (despite the Gala being weeks ago). Egg does say "I can't die again". He could just be referring to the time he died during Judgement Day, but maybe not? Jean is there too, and she definitely died. So maybe everyone is dead?

[Handsome men don't lose fights]

Do they have a way of feeding Proteus in that desert?

[Havok83]

Because they showed up in the first issue of RoX

i think that was an error especially since they werent called out in the text. They'd be significant enough for the RoX team to notice and mention as they arent random nameless mutants

I just reread the first issue and I think you are right, it's an error. Hope is also in RoX, and she has been in the desert/WHR from the start.

The good:

- Xavier in Krakoa
- Shaw with Selene
- Exodus, Hope and Destiny
- White Hot Room!!!
- Apocalypse/Satan
- The art (as usual)

The bad:

- Selene being dumb
- Mother Righteous
- Sinister cliff hanger?

Time flows differently in the WHR, last we were told it takes about a week for him to burn through his Xavier back ups. The Five have said they've only been there a few days but since the WHR exists outside of space and time he probably would be fine indefinitely.

[Cyclone_Ablaze]

This was.....I don't know interesting.

I'm not sure how I feel about the White Hot Room being so easy to access. But, whatever. At least we know that's NOT the real Apocalypse.

And i'm sure Emma is going to be pissed Charles gave Shaw some access to get back into the Hellfire Club.

And DAMN Selene is staying catching L's
