It's a future where after unpowered humans became extinct and mutants the sole form of humanity, they begann to radically altered themself because of being unhappy with all the annoying aspects of mutantkind like the the randomness and different power levels of their super powers.
So in order to become "perfect" and with aging and "human" morals allready disregarded, they quickly begann to radically alter themself to become be more equal and peak powerfull, while also only producing offsprings artifically via splicing as many X-genes together (chimeras), which resulted in them becomming psychic, hive minded, floating omega level jellyfish things. They also removed their unncessary and needlessly human weaknesses like creativity, imagination, identity, individuality, mortality, emotions.
The image is the day when they all want to fuse into a singular supreme being and to join a grander hive mind in order to become more perfect, with Wolverine left as the last original human.
I'm not serious. I have no clue if this is the intention or if anything on the cover has a meaning to what is going on in the book. But it reminded to a scene from some versions of H.G.Wells The Time Machine, where the Traveler moves far ahead into the future beyond the Eloi and Morlock situation and sees crab like monsters hunting beautifull butterfly creatures, which are suggested to be what the two off-shots of humanity ultimately evolved into (or the ball shaped stomach creature with no nervous system).
It wasn't actualy my intention to decieve anyone, but thanks. Though i find it interesting that it sounded believable enough as potential story behind the image.
It really doesn't look typical "diamond" or how Emma's diamond form is often drawn or colored, so the effect might evoke a more "organic growth" feel to some of us (it fooled me).
Though thinking about Witchblade and who of the female X-men could replicate the look naturaly with their powers, Marrow would arguably the closest fit. Mystique too but she is a shape shifter so it's a bit cheating. Mercury could also qualify but she lacks the flesh part.
Though i feel like i missed another candidate...
