4:57
take a look again, Durrett all day yet hell yeah, So we are
5:04
continuing on through the second half of the House of X, Powers of ten
5:11
or Powers of X story from the X Men back from twenty nineteen. So
5:16
if you haven't, this is your first episode listened to the book Watchers.
5:20
Go to the episode before this so you can listen to see what happened in
5:25
the first half of the story. This is And if you haven't listened to
5:30
book Watchers at all, then go all the way to the beginning. Come
5:32
on, we start with We started off with Arragon, and then we worked
5:36
our way through what Lord of the Rings? Well, we did the Hobbit
5:42
first and then the Lord. Yeah, and then we did Dune and then
5:46
like we did Percy Jackson, Percy Jackson, we've also done Potter, Harry
5:50
Potter, Harry Potter than the Percy Jackson series. Yeah m hm. And
5:56
now we're on this or now we're on this and then soon to be other
6:00
stuff. So continuing on, we're gonna start off with House of X issue
6:08
four out of six. This picks up where we left off last well,
6:15
we left off with the X Men. Currently, they are on a observation
6:20
deck at the Sun, at a space station orbiting the Sun that has a
6:29
device that makes molds to create sentinels. Known as the Mother Mold, orchestrated
6:35
by Orchists. That's a combination group of like Shield Hydra off a Flight Sword,
6:43
all that stuff. A bunch of people from a bunch of different organizations.
6:46
They're goal to preserve humanity against the threat of Homele Superior Akammunes. So
6:55
they're trying to create a sentinel Mother Mold. Do you create molds? Make
6:59
sentinels up? The X men went up there to obviously put an end to
7:01
this, and this is where we pick up on Kerkoa. So you got
7:05
Professor X and Magneto communicating with Jean aka Marvel Girl. Marvel Girl get an
7:13
update on their mission to the Mother Bold, and Jean informs them that Archangel
7:19
and Husk were killed in the explosion because at the end of the last time
7:25
we saw these guys, the head scientists of the of the facility exploded.
7:32
Blue set off an explosion killed him in a bunch in some of the mutants.
7:38
So Archangel and Husk are dead and Wilvery and Nightcrawler are injured as well
7:45
as Cyclops. So the sighting that they still there's still have a goal to
7:49
finish this mission. So they're at the observation deck of the Mother Bold.
7:56
Well, the Mother Bolds obviously outside and they have to go out there to
7:59
disk to disconnect the head of the sentinel that's the Mother Mold from the space
8:05
station. Haven't fling it right into the sun. So from there they're like,
8:11
well, we're not gonna survive this. They kind of they kind of
8:16
realize, yeah, we're gonna die here, So you know what, we're
8:18
gonna make it worth our while at least, so Nightcrawler takes So I'm getting
8:26
ahead myself. So from their Nightcrawler telports Cyclops, Wolverine, and Mystique to
8:31
their two Pacific locations inside the station in order to destroy their control what they
8:39
call it control panels are connecting to the Mother Mold. Well, Nightcrawler himself
8:45
is taking the last one while Jean and Money stay on the ship in order
8:50
to maintain connection with Krocoa because with the combination of Monai's powers with Jean Gray,
8:56
she can connect back to Krocoa and communicate with everybody there directly, and
9:03
she's doing that to keep Magneto Infessorets involved in on how the mission's going.
9:07
So while Wolverine and Nightcrawl are successful in enstroying. Their columns are connected to
9:16
the Mother Mold. The ship is boarded by Orcus forces. Mone puts Jean
9:20
into an escape pod and fires her away forcibly putting her in there because she's
9:26
like, you're not dying. Send her off, and Moday is left on
9:31
the ship as the forces are comming and she's presumably dead, staying on board
9:37
in order to cover her exit and by her time so Mone dies. She
9:39
transforms into her her other form as she has as a mutants and begins fighting
9:46
the humans off. Cyclouts Fines and disengages his control of Caller, but Mastique
9:54
being having gotten turned around, it's intercepted and she finds herself face to face
10:01
with doctor Gregor, who is the wife of the man who set out the
10:07
explosion. The last time we saw these saw the X Men, and she's
10:11
straight up just opens up the hatch the space and Mystique flies out in the
10:18
middle space in the vat space and dies. So she's straight up no hesitation
10:22
boom. Mystique is dead. This season a court floating in space despite the
10:30
humans power in the Mother Mold, not knowing whether it will so they decide
10:35
you know what fuck this, We're gonna activate it now. But they're worried
10:39
about, oh, is a mother mold gonna be sane or not? Because
10:43
it goes insane, it's gonna go after everybody. Because sentinels the Xavier tells
10:50
them to do whatever it takes a stop it, Wolverine and Nightcrawl a volunteer
10:54
to head to the final switch, which is now in a vacuum outside.
11:00
Nightcroller teleports Wolverine into the column before being assinuated by the sun, so so
11:05
they teleport outside. They're like they have them. They have a very like
11:09
interesting moment because Nightcroller, outside of being immune, is very is a very
11:13
religious man, and he asks night Wolverine asks him if there's a heaven,
11:20
and there's a whole like kind of nice interaction where Nightcroller basically tells them I
11:26
will see you on the other side, indicating because he's not gonna survive.
11:31
Wolverine will survive for a time out there with his with the powers that the
11:37
healing factor and the animatum sc skeleton he has, he will survive out there,
11:43
but his body will literally start disintegrating. But they agree to do it
11:48
because at this point they're like, yeah, we're not gonna live, We're
11:50
gonna We're gonna die here, but we're gonna die and take this thing with
11:54
us. So now Crawler teleports will ringing out there. He is incinerated instantly,
12:05
you see him in the panel. He just literally is body disintegrates from
12:09
the heat of the sun and Wolverine you see his skin as flesh burning off
12:13
as he's taken out the dealing with the mold from their Wolverine's healing factor buys
12:22
him enough time to carve through it before he is too incinerated, so his
12:28
healing factor couldn't saved him from the sun. The heat of the sun as
12:31
now as the now online, Mother Mold hurdles into the sun while raving manually
12:39
via Olympian analogy that the machines have both have found both man and guilty and
12:46
will destroy them both. So the mother Mold went insane and fell into the
12:52
sun while saying an Olympian and allegory and I'm like that's interesting, and just
13:00
burned up in the sun. With the mentioned complete, Cyclops tries to find
13:03
a space suit in order to get the jeans pod so that they can try
13:07
and make their way home. However, the good Doctor shoots him down and
13:13
kills him. She shoots him in the chest. He falls over, and
13:16
there's like a whole moment of like she's kind of gone off, the doctor
13:20
kind of went off, gone off the deep end. She's lost her ship.
13:24
So she walks over to Cycled and shoots him right in the face point
13:28
blank. Damn damn Mike. While he's dead. He's dead. Yeah,
13:39
his brains are over the floor. So he dies. And then the Sentinel
13:45
drones that were mining that were on Mercury and thus when not reach the station
13:52
in time to stop the accident, finally arrive intercepting jeans Pod and kills her.
13:58
Oh yeah, she's in upon she dies because they start crushing it,
14:03
and you see a shot where she's like and it just they crush it.
14:07
They destroy it, and she's in there and she can't stop it. So
14:11
she's like, well fuck as he they see the so Xavier sees them all
14:18
dead the hands of the humans once again, Xavier cries and vows no more,
14:22
and that is the end of issue four of House of X. Now
14:28
we jump to Powers of X. Powers of actually go back and forth between
14:33
X zero Year one, which is year one the Dream, X one year
14:37
ten the World, X two year one hundred the War, and X three
14:41
year one thousand the Ascension. So we started off in X zero, which
14:48
is year one the Dream. We are joined. We joined Xavier and Magneto
14:54
as they traveled to bar Sinister in order to seek an audience with mister Sinister.
15:00
Now, if you don't know who mister Sinister is, mister Sinister is
15:03
a villain of the X Men as well as I think he's a villain of
15:05
like what Spider Man or some ship too. He's a major villain, but
15:09
mostly he's associated with the X Men. Yeah, he's in one of those
15:13
all around villains, but he's mostly with the X Men for the most part
15:16
because he has a tantacy to do experimentations on the X Men ship they have.
15:24
They decide to seek an audience with mister Sinister after they discovered and they're
15:31
aware of Sinister's work and cataloging the world's DNA because mister Sinister has a fascination
15:39
with DNA experimentation all got kind of fun ship. So the pair asked him
15:46
to create a database of all mutant DNA, offering to help him acquire samples
15:54
that would otherwise be difficult for him to find, including their out. Sinister
16:00
is uninterested, haven't already experimented with introducing the mutant gene into his own genetic
16:08
structure and finding his his roults unsatisfactory. But suddenly the sinstor they're talking to
16:15
is killed by the one of his clones, the one with the mutant gene,
16:22
because sinister, mister Sinister is not a mutant normally, but that snswer
16:30
they were talking to dies and the one that the one that takes his place
16:33
is a sinister, mister Sinister that has a mutant gene. So he takes
16:37
his place, and God, I wish what was his line? He said
16:41
some he said some fucking bullshit line that I'm like, hello, okay,
16:45
I'm gonna cut this part out, Devin, because I'm gonna find he cut
16:48
this part out because I'm gonna find that line because mister Sinister is fabulous.
16:53
Hold the fuck up? We want here, Let's see here we go?
17:07
Is it this one? I have like my copy too, so I'm just
17:15
looking forward to Bam, it's me, the sinister with the mutant gene.
17:18
And if you must know, my mutan power is overthrowing tyrants and being absolutely
17:23
fabulous Yepp being absolutely fabulous. So for future notice of you of lgbt Q
17:36
readers out there, mister Sinister is not an LGBTQ character, but the way
17:41
he's presented from this point on in the X series, in the X Men
17:45
series and accompanying side series, full drag, full drag, full camp.
17:52
Like this man is fucking insane. I love him. He is one of
17:56
my favorite villains of the X Men franchise, especially in his new iteration with
18:00
his new X gene. Sinister full drag, bull camp. Not gay,
18:04
but like he has the assassiness of a gay man, like it's great.
18:10
We love him. So that Sinister, the mutant Sinister, replaces the main
18:19
Sinister, and of course he's they're they're on an island or some facility that's
18:23
full sisters cloned, and Sinster Sinister loves cloning himself, so the clone assumes
18:30
his position as the lead Sinister and agrees to their plan. Xavier and Sinister
18:34
begin the work and uses his powers to make him forget their agreement until the
18:38
day he's allowed to remember. And the day he's allowed to remember is the
18:42
day that Xavier makes that speech to the world as a whole, about Krocoa,
18:48
the drugs and all that. That's when Sister is allowed to remember what
18:52
their agreement is, and that's when he's supposed to get to work. So
18:56
from there we jumped to X one, which is the ear tend the World.
19:02
Xavier and Cipher travel to the mutant island Krocoa. After some effort,
19:07
Xavier has succeeded in establishing a top about the connection with Krocoa, which has
19:11
further relations between Crocoa and mutant kind. Xavier's connection trigger CoA allows them to
19:18
communicate in a fashion in a certain a certain particular way, but Cipher's powers
19:26
allow him to quickly to cipher Cricoa's language and act as a translator. I
19:32
As Krocoa begins telling him a story. In ancient times, Krikoa was one
19:37
half of a land known as Cora oh Oka Cora. One day this land
19:48
was torn and by a creature wielding a twilight sword from the From this came
20:00
the enemy, who threatened to consume the entire world if they had not been
20:04
stopped by the first mutant using his using his powers, he sealed the branch
20:14
and set his four to enemies home and permanently separating Krocoa from its other half.
20:23
Xavier telepathically transmits his plans to kcoa worker coach to Cipher, who sets
20:30
work to designing an interface I will allow other mutants to communicate with Kercoa directly
20:34
without his aid, asks Xavier for a year to finish this work, and
20:41
that's in year one. So that's when they find Karkoa, get relations with
20:45
it, and then start to work on forming the Cocoa language and being able
20:51
to give it to any mutant that walks through the gate. Then we jumped
20:56
to year three, which is year one thousand the ascension from there, or
21:06
jumped to the human society. Having summoned the Failings, which is the hive,
21:10
that technological hive mind, the first Elder, first of the Elders,
21:15
communicates with it and presents them with with his sear self, a machine vessel
21:22
which the Failings consume. He asked them to repeat a sequence known only to
21:29
him, which they do, and then ask if this solution is satisfactory to
21:34
them, whereupon the Failings begin to process the situation. Having witnessed this librarian
21:42
that we've been followings and since X since the year one thousand storyline asks what
21:49
just happened? His companion explains that the Failings are the forerunners of a galactic
21:56
empire believed to have dominion over the entirety of the universe. The Failings have
22:04
the ability to integrate any machine intelligence into its collective, and if the intelligence
22:11
is found worthy, it will eventually be assimilated into the empire. However,
22:15
the process does not work for biological entities. In order to get around this,
22:21
the man machine ascendants will copy themselves over to empty host machine vessels that
22:32
the Failings can absorb as they await whether or not the Failings will find the
22:37
solution satisfactory. The Failings consumes two of the other Elders, so their goal
22:45
is they're still These are the future races of humans, obviously, and their
22:48
goals copy themselves and put themselves into empty host machine vessels, so when they're
22:56
absorbed into the Failings, they're able to live in this empire and be part
22:59
of this hive mind. Because our human bodies will not survive, they'll be
23:03
destroyed when the planet is devoured, and that is the end of Power of
23:10
X issue four. So we leave off on and then we jumped to House
23:15
of X five Issue five, which issue five we jump over to Polaris and
23:30
Magneto. So, while convincing his daughter Polaris, Magneto uses that it was
23:38
when they abandoned hunting and gathering instead claimed a place of their own the humans
23:45
took off as a species. He points us out as the as a one
23:51
good reason, one good thing humanity was taught, taught mute kind the need
23:56
for society in order to increase their number or her Cohen mutants have been reincarnated.
24:07
They have been reincarnated deceased mutants through the process developed by the Five.
24:11
Now the Five. These Five, the Five is a group of mutants that,
24:19
together with their powers together are able to reincarnate any mutant that is deceased
24:26
past present. So like the bunch of mutants that died in Genosha back when
24:32
the last Mutant home Nation Home got destroyed and all those mutants died, they're
24:38
able to bring them all back. Anyone that is to die currently and says
24:45
day and Age, they're able to bring them back. So go down the
24:48
list on what everyone does and what mutants are part of this five. First
24:52
is gold Balls. Gold Balls is a character a mutant as almost kind of
25:00
like a joke and past issues, but now they figured out what his mutin
25:06
power actually does and it's a lot more useful obviously. So gold Balls is
25:11
a mutant that originally thought of just creating gold balls that you can throw at
25:17
people, right, kind to find out these balls, not balls, are
25:22
eggs. So he uses this power to create these eggs that are then viable
25:30
by protests reality warbing powers, and then is introduced the DNA of the deceased
25:38
mutant injected into the egg. And then the mutant Elixir uses his powers to
25:44
kick start the process of cellular what they call it cellular cell cell you learn,
25:55
yes, that's what I was looking for, cellular that I can't talk
26:00
today with the egg that is now fully viable. Tempest is her power of
26:04
time to mature the egg and the mutant aside to a finished state at whatever
26:11
age they want to be brought back as right, there are certain mutantes I
26:15
give like little notes like hey, I want to brought back to this age
26:18
or whatever, and that's how they accommodate to all that. Like there's one
26:23
mutant I can't think of her name. There's one meaning I lost an arm
26:26
during one of the past stories, and she had a note that she ever
26:30
wants to be brought back like this, she wanted to have. She didn't
26:34
want to have that arm back because if you have any like deformities or like
26:38
missing limbs, this process could bring back that missing limb. But she decided
26:42
not. She opted out of that. So she's like, if I ever
26:45
brought back this way, I want to have I want to want to have
26:51
that one arm because that was that was like a turning moment in her character,
26:56
and she wanted to keep that. She wanted to keep that as it
27:00
was so because she didn't see it adds a disability only having one arm anyway,
27:06
So Tempts use their time manipulation to mature the eggs to the final state
27:10
resembling their status at their physical peak or when they died. Process is overseen
27:15
by Hope Summers, who's her powers of boost the other four to enable them
27:22
to operate in unison. So Hope Summers is a battery that the others wo
27:27
tap into to increase their powers to be able to do this at the rate
27:33
and speed that they do it. So these are the five and Hope Summers
27:37
is a leader of this group. Finally, Provessor X transfers a stored copy
27:45
of the diseased mutant's mind and interface into the regrown body. Thus this process,
27:52
the eight Munets killed while on the Mother Moole situation mission are restored and
27:57
presented to a door or Cohen Masses by Storm, and that's where we jump
28:03
into the issue ones like to me my mutants or to me my x Men,
28:07
that whole thing, that's where this happens. And then Storm takes them.
28:11
They're bass naked. She takes them, and she introduces mutant kind the
28:17
kirk Cohen's to the X Men again, and Storm has this whole speech about
28:22
it, and she tells her Krikohen's about as she's introducing each of the X
28:27
Men, and then we jumped to the United Nations. The vote to recognize
28:33
Kirkoa as independent mutant homeland is passed, and no small part through Emma Frost's
28:41
efforts to telepathically push the Russian ambassador to do so. Xavier telepathically lets Emma
28:52
know that he knows what she's doing and thanks her for it, So she
28:59
basically kind of pushes the Russia ambassador to kind of nudge in the right direction.
29:06
So she kind of cheated in a way, but she cheated for the
29:07
good because she knew the world wasn't gonna do it. Yeah, wholeheartedly.
29:15
But you know, now, there were a few nations that did not sign,
29:19
did not agree to any of this. One of them was Wakanda because
29:26
Wakanda has no need for the medication. So for whatever reason why conas like,
29:30
no, we're not gonna do it, We're not gonna we're not gonna
29:33
agree to it or whatever. There are several other nations for different reasons.
29:37
There's like a handful of nations that are like no, no, we're not
29:41
so from there. Two days later, a cohort of the villain's mutant foes,
29:49
so a bunch of the X Men villains, led by Apocalypse arrive on
29:56
Krkoa in response to Xaver's offer of of a home. Apocalypse reveals to the
30:03
X Men that he is from really worker CooA, as he once fought a
30:07
war there before the world knew anything about mutes. So that story that Kercoa
30:11
was talking about in the last issue about the first mutant was was he was
30:17
talking about Apocalypse. Even though Apocalypse is not the first mutant technically the first
30:22
mutant. Tendically speaking, if you don't count the whole BC mutants, that's
30:30
weird. But if you don't count that Selene, it's tentically the first mutant
30:34
because she's older than Apocalypse by a good ship ton of couple of thousands,
30:40
like several thousand years. She's older than he is. So technically speaking,
30:44
Selene is the oldest mutant, not Apocalypse. But there's a whole the boccle
30:48
with that. So but that was a fused me. The fust mutant Kacro
30:52
was talking about was Apocalypse. From there, he tells them that for centuries
31:03
he was fostered war and conflicts and hopes that mutandom would take dominance over the
31:11
world, and declare that mutants, in creating Karcoa now finally become what they
31:17
wanted, what he wanted them to be. So Apocalypse is just like,
31:21
ah, they're following where I wanted muting them to be. We have a
31:25
home. So On behalf of himself and all the other mutants following him.
31:29
He greased to submit to Kurcoa in law and work and service a mute kind,
31:33
so Apocalypse becomes a hero from this point forward and on in defense of
31:40
mutant kind as well his fellow X men whatever else. So he becomes a
31:45
very important character way later throughout the whole story of Ellis. And I actually
31:51
like Apocalypse here. I really like him more as a helper of mutant kind
31:56
rather than the apocalypse we see like in the h Apocalypse storyline. Like him
32:00
better here. It's great love him. And that's where issue five of House
32:06
of X ends. Then we jump to Power of X Issue five, which
32:13
picks up in the past with Professor Xavier. He approaches Ford the Mutant Forge
32:20
in order to realize his power is a project of copying other mutants minds through
32:25
Cerebro. Forge is approached to work on that project, to work on Cerebro
32:36
to enhance Cerebro. So from there, Forge is skeptical of this, and
32:43
that means he requires to make them modifications do not exist on Earth. Xavier
32:47
reveals that he can solve the two big problems energy supply in storage space through
32:53
Shatari technology for degrees to build and modify Cerebro with alien technology, and why
33:01
is it? And you're like, why is why would Xavier have Shary technology?
33:07
Because there's a long history between him and the Sharry Empire. I mean,
33:12
he was in love with one of the queens, one of the rulers
33:16
the Shary Empire. So I'm sure he would have Sherry text somewhere because the
33:22
Mutants Mutants and the x may have a long history with the with that empire
33:25
in particular. So from there we jumped to shortly before the founding of Corocoa,
33:34
Magneto and Xavier contact Emma Frost, asking her aid to plan their establishment
33:38
establishing a new mutant home. Emma just misses the idea because she's like,
33:45
fuck that shit. You know, she didn't work. Why the funk with
33:47
this? She knows she didn't work. The utopia didn't work. Why would
33:51
this work, claiming that Maneto in particular should know better due to the Genosha
33:55
genocide. Yeah, So the pair eventually convinced her and revealed that they need
34:00
the aid of the hell Fire Corporation to distribute the miracle drugs that will buy
34:06
mutant kind its homeland. In exchange, they offer her a fifty year contract
34:10
of exclusive distribution rights in addition to two seats on the twelve person council that
34:16
will govern KRKOA I kind of like this line because if it because if any
34:22
COMBA fans know out there, know about Emma's story throughout this whole thing she
34:28
does after the after the Genosia incident as well as her students dying because she
34:34
had a bunch of mutant students once upon time, the Helians, and they
34:37
all died. She blamed herself for that and during the Genotia incident, that's
34:42
where she got her secondary ability of the diamond skin was during the Genotia incident
34:49
and again young mutants died when they convinced. When she agreed and they convinced
34:53
her to join Kurkoa, She's like, you know what, screw it,
34:57
I'm gonna do it for the kids because from this point, from that point
35:00
on, she's always done everything for the young mutants because she cares about the
35:06
young uns a lot. So she decided to do it is on the mere
35:10
fact of the young mutant kind of the kids. She got to take care
35:15
of the kids. And then they give her two seats and she's like,
35:21
they also asked that Emma recruit Sebastian Shaw for them, and Emma hates Sebastian
35:30
Shaw. I mean to be fair, everyone hates Sebastian Shaw. Fuck Sebastian
35:37
Shaw period. He's trash garbage. Now if you want to know who Sebastian
35:45
Shaw is, Emma Frost is the White Queen of the hell Fire Club.
35:47
Sebastian Shaw is the Black King of the hell Fire Club created by Chris Clarmont
35:54
way back when his power He is a mutant, his power of sets.
36:01
What is his power sets? Cause depth, blah blah blah. Where are
36:06
you? Where are your powers? Powers? He is and he has energy
36:12
absorption secondary mutation. He has u having the mother Vine enhancement secondary mutation.
36:25
What is his secondary mutation? Wait for Huna, it's Abashed and shaw He
36:32
has energy absorption mostly yeah, and he's able to either use it to it
36:37
usually increases his strength, but I think it also lets her release it yeah,
36:45
strength, durability, meta biolism, like he can heal with that Stamminda
36:52
speed, and he can use it as a weapon. So I guess that's
36:58
pretty much pretty much that it's energy absorption. So that's Sebash and Shawl.
37:02
He's a dick, he's trash gutter goblin hate him, and so it is
37:07
Emma. But they're like because they're like, we need Sebashtion. She's like,
37:10
really, do you I don't want him? Are you serious? Come
37:15
on? She hates him. She's like, no, I don't want him.
37:19
But she eventually agrees to it, believing that so from there, believing
37:23
that while Emma can handle trade and negotiates with countries with whom we're CoA will
37:30
officially have relationships with Sebastion Shaw, it will be best equipped to deal with
37:35
countries and parties that reject mutant kind's offers, the black market stuff, the
37:40
under the all the table stuff. Emma agrees to their terms on one condition
37:46
that received that she received three one more seat on the council instead of just
37:52
the two they gave her. So she wants a red king or a queen.
37:59
Fun not done with everything in order, Xavier sends out a top path
38:04
that calls to the world, which is what happens here. The world's mutants,
38:10
including various association. Two different mutants off on stuff, offering them a
38:15
players Archer CoA. One of the mutants who has offered a players arcer CoA
38:20
is King naymore. Oh m, I'm surprised the Xavier had the balls to
38:29
go down there to name Moore, but you know he did. Nay More
38:35
rejects the offer m ever so nicely, believing that Xavier is a front for
38:43
mutant supremacy, and tells him to return when he really means it because he
38:53
because Nay Moore feels that Xavier is not there out of the goodness of his
38:58
heart to have nay More so the name wars. It's like, come back
39:00
when you fucking mean it again. I'm surprised that he went down to anymore
39:07
because do you relieve it? Name, Where is gonna leave Atlantists to go
39:10
to Cocoa. No, he would kill all the other mutans in the world,
39:16
and it meant saving and preserving Atlantists. He would kill every little,
39:23
every child mutants. Uncle ka to do that if you want. If he
39:28
needed to save Atlantists, because Atlantist comes first, It's like fuck Cocoa.
39:34
No. No, So there's that. I'm like, that was a cool
39:37
moment. I'm not surprised that King Name Moore told him to go fuck off.
39:44
So yeah. Then we jump to the future, back to the failings
39:52
and the failings the hide Mind have agreed to offer to the offer presented to
39:58
them by the habitants. Of Earth, but kill the first, and but
40:02
kill the first of the elders, Namra the greater. Hence, the Failings
40:07
serve and even greater masters, a collective machine minds so massive and dense that
40:14
they have collapsed into black holes. Who's collective intellect and power would rival the
40:23
stories described the human stories when they describe gods. And now I'm like,
40:30
that's cool, that's actually really cool, So there's not. The Failings serve
40:36
their masters by devoting matter into energy, and having accepted the offer, they
40:43
will now absorb the collective intelligence of Earth, but also consume the entire planet,
40:47
killing everybody, and then give that energy that they collect to these black
40:53
hole gods machine gods. So that's a nice moment you find out, you're
41:00
like, well shit, and that is Power of X issue five. Then
41:13
we're going on to the last two issues House of X issue six. From
41:17
here we jumped to one month ago, Professor x Moira and Magneto launched their
41:25
plan to establish Kurkoa as immune domination. Magneto vows all his disagreements and conflicts
41:32
he has ever had with Xavier will end today. X Xavier uses his cerebro
41:37
to sit and tell by the method telepathic message to every human on Earth,
41:42
and he tells them three miracle drugs of Kirkcoa have been created and offered them
41:45
to humanity and exchange for independence of Krikoa and a universal pardon for all mutants
41:52
excused of crimes. Then we jumped to the present day the Quiet Council of
42:00
Krokoa. This is when they first meet, one of their first meetings.
42:05
Now the Quiet Council of Krokoa are meant that okay, members mutants. That
42:12
house is like the first government of Krokoa. So the houses of this group,
42:22
there's four of them, Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer,
42:28
and the members of said group. Let's see if we can find the original
42:32
members. So you got Autumn, which I'm not gonna say the current listing
42:44
because the current listing of the groups is way different than what was before because
42:49
certain people left. So I'm just gonna go off of here, and then
42:53
I'm gonna kind of I'm gonna see if I can guess, not guess,
42:58
like, because they don't have a listen which who's part of whose house?
43:01
So Autumn House of Autumn, it has Xavier Magneto and Apocalypse. Yes,
43:12
yes, House of Winter has Exodus, Mester, Sinister and Mystique. House
43:21
of Spring has the Black King, Spashion Shaw, the White Queen, and
43:28
the Frost and there's the Red Queen seat, but that seat is open currently.
43:42
There might be a mutant later on that might take that spot, maybe
43:46
one that fades through walls that for whatever reason that I don't know yet because
43:52
I've ever read that Harthhead that she just can't get into hercoa for some reason.
43:59
That mutant. Hey, kiddy bride that spring and then you got a
44:06
summer house, which is okay, what was a summer house Storm Jean Gray
44:15
and Nightcrawler, Yes, Nightcrawler, and that is the summer house. Back
44:23
to business, all right, so we're on issue. We're on the last
44:28
issue of House of X. We just went over the Crowing Council and there
44:36
so that is all the Curcrawlan counts. Also the last house, it's Koa,
44:39
which is Cipher and Krikoa. They're part of the Currican Council. Of
44:44
course they are because as Krikoa and Cipher. So that now the Quiet Council's
44:53
first order of business is to try Sabretooth for killing several guards while on the
44:59
mission, and the process established the core laws or CoA cotenuously me war munes
45:06
to murder no human and respect sick or the acricoa or the first laws that
45:10
are made. For breaking these rules, Sabertooth is banished. He's held in
45:17
a stasis deep and psycercoa until an opportunity of rises for him to redeem himself
45:27
blot twist. He does not. I don't think. I think he gets
45:31
out, but I don't think he I don't think he's a good guy up
45:35
to that point. So I don't think so, right or do it?
45:38
Do you know? Do you know something? I don't? Nah, I
45:42
mean, as far as I've gotten, he hasn't made a comeback. Because
45:45
I know there there's the Extendables, the Exile, that's the Extendables Exiles or
45:51
whatever. There's a whole series around in there. They're called that, They're
45:57
called the Hellians. They're led by mister Sinister. Those are the Hellians.
46:00
They are behind They're basically like the mutant suicide squad BET because I know some
46:07
of the mutantes are got thrown down there are very questionable and their choices because
46:12
like some mutants do like. Some of these mutants i've heard don't deserve to
46:16
be down there, but they were thrown down there for dumb reasons. So
46:21
there's a lot of that. Supposedly spoiler alert, certain mutants gets thrown down
46:30
there because he was framed for Wanda's murder. Oh shit, he was thrown
46:36
down there. Oh fuck, I haven't finished out out. It's not Magneto,
46:42
it's not Oh who isn't you want to know? Yes, Toad told?
46:52
What the fuck? Yeah? Why how would tell kill Scarlet Witch?
46:57
So? Oh, oh my god, I'll read it. I'll read about
47:02
it. I don't want to spell it for you. I don't want to
47:06
read about it. I'll read about it. That's fine. But today I'm
47:09
Toad. Fuck you Toad being at the same time, thank you question Mark.
47:15
Anyway, so they throw Sabertoo down there. He's pissed, he's not
47:22
happy about adult, but they're like, fuck you, Sabertooth and throw him
47:23
down and everyone's like, that was long. This has been long waited,
47:27
you fucking psycho, and they throw him down there. So Sabertooth is banished.
47:32
He is held down there in Krokoa, waiting to be used for a
47:37
redeemable reason whatever. But business of the court concluded. The mutants of her
47:43
CooA hold a great party to celebrate their new nation, and that's where Issue
47:49
six ends of House VEX. Now we jumped to the last issues Power of
47:57
X called House of X Funny right oh before the founding of the X Men.
48:05
During their first meeting with Xavier and Moira, we jump back to the
48:09
beginning where Moira asks him asks them to read his read her mind and she
48:15
sees all or he sees all her past lives and ship. Right then we
48:19
jump back to a thousand years into the future with Librarian. He goes to
48:23
the zoo that has mutants in it. Fending off an attack from some of
48:29
these mutans. Liberrian encounters Logan, Moira, Logan and Moira. Logan and
48:34
Moira a trapped in the preserve and have been doing so, doing their best
48:38
to ally the mutants within and to overthrow the overlords. Liberrian informs them they
48:45
have been that they have been contacted by the feelings and tomorrow they will be
48:50
absorbed by them only for their only for them to be merged with the God
48:57
of Intellect. A domain, dominions or a dominion librarian has arranged for Moira
49:05
to be sent off world, since he is aware that if Moira dies,
49:09
a timeline will reset, and thus the librarians intelligence will not be carried on.
49:15
However, if he is absorbed into the Dominion, he will exist beyond
49:21
space and time and with us with the knowledge of Moira, even if she
49:25
would to die the reset the timeline. The librarian reveals that he is having
49:31
doubts. Were so in the Dominion, he would exists outside of time and
49:38
space, and that's having knowledge of Moira, which would help humanity if he
49:42
had the knowledge of that, if the knowledge of Moira was still obviously around
49:47
instead of just like erasing sarnucle because she's a big reset button, right.
49:52
Librarian reveals that he is having doubts about this, however, because it is
49:57
uncertain if existence as a portion of divine intelligence is better than continuing to exist
50:04
as he does. He muses over the situation at hand, and that he
50:10
tells them that they are doomed to go extinct as he a post human is
50:19
he represents Homo sapiens, mastering both ichnology and biology, rendering natural evolution obsolete.
50:25
Before he can finish his murmurings Logan. Logan kills him, so he
50:31
informs them that when the Family's absorbed everything on Earth, all biological matter will
50:36
be destroyed. So he's gonna kill so everyone's gonna die. Humanity, whatever
50:40
else that don't get put into machines will die. Logan kills him, kills
50:46
a librarian, and then from there. Now armed with the knowledge that humankind
50:52
will merely use machines to buy themselves time to become something greater, a true
50:59
threat to mutants, Moira asked Logan to kill her. He does so,
51:02
ending her sixth life, so this was all during her sixth life. Back
51:07
in the current timeline, During the first meeting with Xavier, she reveals to
51:12
him that mutants always lose. She tells him that this time she means for
51:17
all mutants to unite, and that she will have to break She will have
51:22
to break him of his hope and idealism. As years go by, and
51:30
Moira keeps a journal detailing her attempts to shaping the three foremost leaders of mutant
51:37
kind, with whom she has aligned himself with in previous lives, Xavier,
51:44
Magneto, Apocalypse. Whereas journal entries conclude with her and Xavier losing Magneto as
51:52
an ally and her faking her own death. All that was part of the
51:57
old school storylines of x then and all that stuff and present day one day
52:01
before the meaning of the Quiet Council, whereas they visited by Xavier and Magneto,
52:07
they discussed the members of the Council and Morea warns them not to fill
52:13
their promise to mystique that they tend to resurrect her dead lover destiny moras like,
52:20
don't bring back that bitch, don't irak Goad in exchange for her corporation.
52:28
Mora tells them that there can only be There can be no precogs on
52:34
Kurkoa, no one that can see the past or future. Nobody, nobody,
52:38
keep this bitch off the island, since they will see the truth.
52:43
Moira hasn't has kept the secret that men that mutant kind always loses. Magneto
52:51
and x asked her to trust them, declaring that mutant kind is always lost
52:55
until now, but that things are different because as they now stand united chance
53:01
as a result of her efforts to change them into what they needed to be
53:07
in order to survive. And that's where power of x issue six ends is
53:14
that More is like, don't fucking bring back Destiny. Don't bring that bitch
53:19
back. Keep her ten feet under because she's going leak everything. And that's
53:25
the reason why Mistake joined the Quiet Council and joined all this to begin with,
53:30
because they're like, you're bringing my you're bringing my wife back. And
53:32
they're like, and Maria's like, don't bring that bitch back, don't bring
53:37
it back, don't do it. Nope. What happens though, they bring
53:43
her back. She comes back. She Destiny comes back. Oh she does.
53:50
Now, Yeah, I don't know if they bring I think they bring
53:52
her back by the Five because she is part of the spoiler alert, she's
53:58
part of the current council Quiet Council. Currently she's in the Council. I
54:06
know, I know some things, but I don't know everything. So yeah,
54:08
Destiny is part of the Quiet Council. So she does come back at
54:10
some point. I just don't know if the Five did it, or they
54:14
found or Mystique found some other way to do it, or if Xavier and
54:16
Magnier were like, fuck it, let's bring her back. So I don't
54:21
know in what context she came back, but she did come back with her
54:24
body and everything, so she is back against Mourra's wishes. So that is
54:37
House of X Powers, of X Powers of ten, wherever you want to
54:40
call it. The X and storyline created by Chris Claremont. Chris, Oh
54:45
my god, Chris Claremont. No, Jonathan Hickman, Oh my god,
54:50
Oh my god. So this is the story that started. I kicked off
54:54
everything that is going on now currently with the X Men since what twenty night
55:00
it was twenty nineteen. Yeah, pretty much. So that is that story.
55:06
Stay tuned. I plan on reading through through all the main series,
55:14
all the side stories of the X Men, and I plan on doing other
55:20
episodes continuing on the story so we can continue on through the modern X Men
55:25
stories. Yeah. So we will be back here with the X Men,
55:30
but not for the next probably next couple of months. Honestly, I think
55:37
I might do an episode like in April and May so because I'm planning around
55:45
with an idea of doing a month of the X Men. So we'll see
55:50
doing a month a whole, like every week is like like the dawn Dawn
55:54
of X y one two and whatever else. There's a lot of shit,
55:59
so but those will be sprinkled out throughout the year. So but from uh,
56:06
from next week on work? Are we doing a lot more going back
56:07
to novels, books and stuff, law horror stuff in the next coming months
56:15
actually, so look forward to that. Yeah. Any final thoughts on House
56:23
of X Powers of ten before we conclude today's episode powers You're still gonna call
56:29
it powers of ten? I keep getting told it's powers of ten, but
56:31
I say powers of X power But wherever you call it power of X or
56:37
powers of or powers of Powers of X, powers of ten, wherever you
56:40
call it, where are your power of thoughts on it? Yeah? I
56:45
love it. I just can't wait until the next few volumes come out?
56:49
Is does Rain of X end with volume fourteen? Because I was a yes,
56:53
okay, so what's the next one called? So Ragins of X Only
57:01
I bring it up and I'm like, where is hold up? Okay,
57:10
let me go the route data X so donav X that is how many issues?
57:25
Donav X is sixteen issues and it ends with x A Swords and after
57:30
that is Rain of X as fourteen volumes. Then you go into it,
57:38
it's fourteen volumes in the X Men hell fire Club. Then after that it's
57:45
the Gallus on the hell Fire Gallus. Sorry. And then you got Trials
57:50
of X, which is part of the Rain of X storyline, but it's
57:55
Trials try of X. There are gonna be twelve volumes of that, but
58:04
only the first one, two, three, the first four volumes are released
58:10
for that so far. So Trials of X volume one, two, three,
58:19
and four out of the twelve are released for that. And then after
58:24
that, then you have Destiny of X, which they have not done the
58:34
collective volumes of that yet. That comes out next year in twenty twenty three.
58:43
So Destiny of X comes after the Reign of X, and then so
58:47
that's Destiny of X. And then after Destiny of X, it's the Fall
58:52
of X that will be starting in the summer. Oh, I got some
58:57
catching up to do. Yeah, The Destiny of X starts with the X
59:02
Lives of Wolverine and the X Deaths of Wolverine. Oh so okay, So
59:08
it's destiny that So Destiny of X is the ne is after Rain of X.
59:14
Right, yes, but that doesn't start. Volumes don't get released to
59:16
that until twenty twenty three till this year on this year because they probably won't
59:22
release that until they finish off with the Trials of X. Because Trials of
59:25
X are getting released until July, so I'll probably fall before Destiny of X
59:31
gets released in the volumes. Okay, yeah, yeah, they haven't come
59:37
out with it yet, but yeah, there's just double checking. But the
59:42
issues are going on currently because the single issues the collective won't start going to
59:46
