Is it too much to ask for some kick ass moments from Rachel?
the only good thing about this. issue was no sinister thank god......also seeing apocplyse kick ass was great. i think besides destroying sinister as an x-men villian and making him a joke the biggest mistake made during the KRAKoan era was taking APocoplyse off the board for so long. That image of him in a suit in the early hickman days was so cool and there was so much they could have done with the character that they completely dropped the ball
Lord Ewing *Praise His name! Uplift Him in song!* Your divine works will be remembered and glorified in worship for all eternity. Amen!
Not gonna miss Rasputin at all. I always found her a flat character and she only existed to be a zealot of Krakoa, that's why I never saw her surviving Fall of X. All her character and personality relies completely on the existence of Krakoa the nation of mutants. Remova that from the tabble, and she has nothing.
Man, Charles is sooo out of character. I am tired of seeing this downfall which doesn't make sense. In head canon I still think he is Sinisterized. Makes me wonder if all of Krakoa is even worth it for Charles.

Sorry, but given how much of the incoming From the Ashes status quo is about defining itself as "not Krakoa", I think it's really unlikely that she will survive.
Eh, I don't think so. Xavier has always expected his X-Men to be willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, and I think he would consider preventing her from stopping him enable whatever plan he has to be an extension of that belief. I don't particularly enjoy the stories where he is more morally corrupt (Deadly Genesis, Danger), but at this point there have been so many that I can't really call it out of character. Now, if he had amplified her pain receptors instead of nullifying them that would be out of character.
It's not according to Gillen himself saying Xavier doesn't "kill". Sacrificing someone is different thing all together. I can see where you are going with all the Deadly Genesis and other shitty retcons that has happened but this totally different. Xavier doesnt kill

I don't think that incantation stripped Rasputin of her powers, it was Mother Righteous just binding her long enough for Charles to incapacitate Rasputin. Xavier made it seem like he needed her taken out for a while so he could continue his plan without too many obstacles. Now, I do believe Mother Righteous will somehow use Rasputin against them...which may indeed lead to Rasputin's final death.
