Apocalypse wearing a suit.
Emma and Jean almost friendship
So many things!
Mutants all together on an island and happy. The world building may be lacking at times but I have fun just scouring the background of books from this era and seeing so many characters I love being happy and it makes me happy. I need to track down that one with Rahne on Warpath's shoulders and post it to the Proudstar brothers appreciation thread.
Return of Destiny.
Return of . . . a lot of characters I now love. Some I didn't know to well when this era started.
Mutant circuits.
Firestar.
Sunfire.
Wanda redemption.
Vita's New Mutants run.

Magneto beating Uranos without a freaking heart
Pogg Ur Pogg
Kwannon being a general bad ass
My number one favorite thing from Krakoa era is the Logan and Kurt scene when they take out the Mother Mold.
1. The Terriformation of Mars/The First Gala (Complete Magic).
2. Storm's monolog as the first Ressurections take place.
3. Magneto's "You Have New god's now" monolog.
4. Emma Frost representing Krakoa with her new drip in congress (I think)
5. Storm crushing the Lethal Legion and saving Xandra/The Imperial Guard in Sword.
6. Heartless Magneto & Storm's revenge on Uranos
7. Storm humbling Vulcan
8. Apocalypse taking on two Nimrods and literally anything he says or does.
9. Storm teleporting an solar system in Sins of Sinister.
10. Xavier & Magneto vs Nimrods.
These are what come to mind when I think of Krakoa... Legendary!
The resurrection of four mutant S.T.R.I.K.E members given code names representing the colors of the magnum opus.

Ghast (Tom Lennox)
Rubedo (Vicki Reppion)

This is one of those things I would never be ok with, same with Emma and Storm. I know Emma is reformed and has been a hero longer than a villian now, but considering what part she played in probably Jean's greatest tragedy(among other things) and what she did while inside Storm's body, those 2 should never be cool with Emma. It's up there with Logan sharing a beer with Gorgon to me.
“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
For me, the absolute highlight of this entire era has been Inferno.
After HoX/PoX set the stage in a pretty revolutionary way, everything that came after felt a bit... long-winded and meandering. X Of Swords was just largely pointless, aside from bringing Arakko into the storyline, for example.
But Inferno, for me at least, did it's best to consolidate as much as it could and it did it without utilising loads of characters. We got a finale (of sorts) to Mystique's and Destiny's initial storylines, the "real" start of Doug's storyline, answers to a lot of questions, a proper showdown between the real architects of the Krakoa/Orchis conflict (Magneto and Xavier vs Nimrod and Omega Sentinel), a "fate" for Moira, Emma learning the truth (and telling the rest of the QC... there was a huge amount packed into 4 issues.
And I just really enjoyed reading it. There haven't been a lot of Krakoa-era highlights for me, but Inferno is my own personal highpoint.
