Death of X #4

[flint_marko]

Alchemy changes the mists, but dies in the process.




Black Bolt kills Cyclops.

Magik frees Downer, the Inhuman she put in Limbo, who tells her that he wants nothing to do with either the Inhumans or the mutants anymore and has her take him home.

After Scott's funeral, Havok confronts Emma, saying he doesn't believe Scott would go out like that.  Emma takes him to see his real body.





Emma, looking crazed, says Scott is still alive, because she made him an idea and ideas never die.

There's no explanation for what Scott (or Emma) did that made people revile him as the mutant Hitler. The only people who died were him, Madrox, and Alchemy.

The reveal at the end should have you backtracking everything that happened in this book. It really is a shock of a twist. Medusa was reasonable in wanting to contain the cloud and they actually managed pretty well the first time. This book is about Cyclops really dying at the end of issue no.1 and Emma wanting his legacy to be more than a simple death so she took her revenge on the Inhumans by falsely projecting him being the one in control.

What I do have a problem with is the one Inhuman blasting Sunfire carrying Alchemy out of the sky.

Ultimately the false projection of Cyclops died because he was going to shoot Medusa and Blackbolt.

The problem with that is Medusa gave Blackbolt the kill order before 'Cyclops' even started to charge his beam. And considering that Emma's 'revenge' was neutralizing the cloud that's genociding her kind.....

Woah. I thought she was replying "yes" to Cyclops, but that really was a kill order.
