Immortal X-Men (2022-) #1

Product Information

Only Sane Man: Nightcrawler is the only member of the Quiet Council who hasn't gone all in on "mutant superiority". He is appropriately horrified by the rest of the Council's seemingly growing and sociopathic disregard for humans and robots, and disgusted when Exodus deems humans as stupid after hearing about a suicide. (It should perhaps be noted in total fairness, however, that Xavier is also clearly deeply troubled as a result of this.) Colossus would be in the same category as Kurt but, unfortunately, he's been compromised by the Russians and is an unwilling mole instead. After their argument in issue #11, Ororo notes that while Emma was just lashing out, it doesn't make what she says to her less true. Mr. Sinister is in fine form in the first issue, thinking to himself that he has everything figured out, only for events to unexpectedly go another way and leave him fumbling trying to maintain his composure. Destiny spells it out for him near the end, there is no one future, no singular destiny, only possibilities that her powers allow her to see. As part of her pitch for membership in the Quiet Council, Selene brings up that time she tried resurrecting the population of Genosha herself, as happened in Necrosha. Kate tries pointing out Selene wasn't exactly doing that out of the kindness of her own heart. Marvel Comics March 2022 comics revealed". GamesRadar+. December 23, 2021 . Retrieved January 2, 2023.

Even Evil Has Standards: During issue #6, Destiny sees that Mystique is more willing to go for a vote if it harms or kills humans. Privately, Irene notes how sometimes her wife's sociopathic tendencies unnerve her. Jean Grey and Cyclops fighting the Eternals with the help of Captain America and Thor. This refers to the then upcoming event AXE.

If a decision leads to a future he dislikes, he uploads the details to a clone, kills her, and resets the timeline. It's implied that he's already done this 25 times, with the current Sinister being version 26 - he also mentions hoping to make it through Judgement Day this time, so at least one previous timeline he's reset was more advanced than where he was up to then..

Heroism Motive Speech: Xavier's running narration in the prelude issue to Sins of Sinister talks about how he constructed the teams over the years to specific ends. It admits that people have a valid reason to fear mutants compared to every other demographic, especially people like him who could psychically compel everyone to kill themselves if they were so inclined, and that it takes tremendous personal ethics to never do so. That the issue ends with the reveal that Xavier has become corrupted by Sinister's personality, it becomes a Heroic Heelization Speech. Heroic BSoD: Charles's state after Fall of X. He's just been sitting on Krakoa completely broken, save for using his powers to drive off any Orchis goons who come near. Yet Emma’s point is still prudent. What felt like an odd plot beat in the early issues of Sins of Sinister has returned as a point of contention. Should Storm have recognized sooner that the Council was corrupted? Is it too much to ask that she step in prior to five years of Sinister’s infection? Emma argues yes, and it’s hard to disagree.

The Man Behind the Man: Issue #6 reveals Mother Righteous was assisting Selene's tantrum in #2, and Sebastian Shaw knows this. As of issue #11, Shaw's actively dealing with her as well. Issue #14 shows that Sebastian Shaw's scheming before the start of Fall of X hasn't gone to plan. Shaw gets ownership of Krakoa but fails to get its liquid assets, he loses control of the Hellfire Club to Wilson Fisk (who is now White King) and his attempt to strip mine Krakoa is hindered by Xavier, who is staying on the island as penance for what he did. In issue #7, Kurt is momentarily shaken when he comes across an Orchis propaganda leaflet which, underneath the anti-mutant xenophobia, makes the somewhat simplistic yet blunt and difficult-to-refute point that mutant claims that they are an oppressed and downtrodden minority cannot help but ring a little hollow when they're powerful enough to conquer Mars, terraform it within minutes and use it as the foundation of a mutant-only galactic civilization. Oh, and when it turns out they can also live forever. Not His Sled: Internally: When the Quiet Council begins to vote to determine if Hope should be allowed to join, Sinister knows in advance how the votes will land (outside of himself; he went in always planning to vote "No"). But when Destiny votes against, even though Sinister knows she originally voted the other way, that causes him to realize that she knows what he does, forcing him to change his vote. For a long time, Krakoa has watched the Quiet Council squabble over petty political games. When it finally decides to speak, what shall Krakoa say?

Continuity Cavalcade: Jean's narration through issue #17 is a cavalcade of things Jean's said over the years, from X-Men #1, X-Men #101, The Dark Phoenix Saga (specifically, Phoenix taunting Mastermind and threatening the Greys), X-Factor #1, and Grant Morrison's New X-Men.

Hope lobbying for the Five to have a representative on the Quiet Council once Magneto's seat opens. This is the culmination of the Five becoming increasingly discontented with the Council and their questionable stances on resurrection policies throughout Reign of X (especially in Vita Ayala's New Mutants and Leah Williams' X-Men: The Trial of Magneto). Anti-Magic: Hope Summers uses a bullet made of the fancy new metal Mysterium to counter Selene's famously potent regeneration.
