Powers of X #6 - "House of X"

I have some general philosophies on what kind of work you should do at Marvel, that I try and adhere to. I think the stories should be big. Any time you can mine your continuity and the existing continuity of the company in a way that evokes a response from audience and not confusion, that’s powerful, and you’re crazy not to utilize it when you’re writing these books. The cardinal rule beyond that is at the end of the day, after you’ve torn up the playroom and scattered all the toys, you put everything all back on the shelf. Don’t be an a—hole and leave a mess. You want to tell stories that matter, but the way you write things that matter in Marvel is that you’re not destructive, you’re additive. -- Jonathan Hickman

It occurs to me, thinking it over a little note, what exactly is the distinction between the mutant chimera of Moira IX’s life and engineered post-humanity? I think I’m the life we see up above, Moira VI, mutants didn’t tinker with their DNA and do the chimera thing, but once they do, what meaningful difference remains between them and post-humanity? The whole thing has me a lot more curious about Sinister’s final generation of chimeras, the hive mind who imploded and took part of Mars with them (if I’m remembering correctly) and wanting to know/see more of them.

If they imploded into a singularity, and we know singularities are intelligences that exist outside of time, it seems likely that they will return in some form or fashion.
