At the very least we have confirmation that JokesterClops is as fake as it gets. I'll take it.
Remember when I theorized that Captain Krakoa was a revived/improved Cyclops and went on about his ridiculous headgear/ruby-quartz antennas? I was seemingly wrong. Rather than a revived Cyclops, it looks like Orchis is having one of theirs *becoming* a Cyclops doppelganger.
Remember when I said Cyke would get kicked around a whole lot before it got better and that Editorial would maybe-totally ruin it as a knee-jerk reaction to the fallout of the x-line's upcoming shutdown?

I dunno, folks were fooled by the off-the-charts love and kindness he radiated?
In all seriousness, though, maybe he'll make such a grand entrance the X-Men won't have much of a say in the matter.
I can't possibly be the only one getting a "Jeen's Ken doll" vibe from the dude's outfit, can I?

That seems like a plausible explanation for Captain Krakoa. Seems like an awfully easy trick and "takeover".
I'm curious on how this will cause conflict for the team. Maybe he ends up peeing in their beds just to upset them?
His costume is rather weird. He could just be Amalgam Man at this point.

I was rather thinking of humans being so stoked over whatever zomgfeat he's going to pull that the team wouldn't have a choice but to give him center stage.
Tell me that's not an Armored Dudebro version of Jeen's white and green outfit, an armored version of Cyclops' head condom and Ruby-quartz antlers thrown in for the laughs.

If that's the case, then it's just stupid writing- they could simply say that people of the Krakoa chooses the team, and he wasn't voted in, and it's unlikely a complete unknown would be accepted.
Then again, Duggan is the same writer than just turned Nature Girl into a serial killer, so...
Random Human 3: Wait, no, Twitter says it's the real one and he got himself killed last year and we've been dealing with a Pretender Clone thingy and now he's back from the dead to redeem mut... Oh, wait, no, turns out he's just a clone of Cyclops and Wolverine. Something about brain damage and healing factor, I dunno."

I'm sure it's something really boring, like Mimic wanting to enter the team or something. With some luck we may get Vulcan behind the visor.
I'm just not optimistic when it comes to Cyclops, this books will end up as a Marauders 2.0.
No idea. But setting up a sleeping agent as some sort of overnight sensation slash Christ-like figure your enemies can't publicly get rid of sounds like the ultimate trolling.
This week's issue hinted at Jean getting a "new" outfit. Just saying.
