I have always had a soft spot for Cain, dick that he is.

[scelestus]

Same here. His character development is the sole bright spot of Chuck Austen's X-Men run, in my humble opinion.

[zachbeacon]

so he's not allowed to even visit his brother or his boyfriend?

[cainofdreaming]

Nope. He's a human so he is not allowed to set a foot on Krakoa. Chuck's words, not mine. It's starting to look like they only allow humans in if it makes it easier for Chuck to do the bad, bad thing to some mutant.

[zachbeacon]

I get why you wouldn't want Franklin Richards' extended family stomping around the place but isn't Northstar still married to a human?

[lordultimus]

Yeah, and he's actually on Krakoa, so what the hell?

[cainofdreaming]

It keeps Jean Paul happy, and easier to teep. Like I was alluding to.

I think that works on a case by case basis through familial consent. The Braddocks, Jubilee’s son, Northstar’s husband and one of Forge’s old scientist buddies are allowed on the island because they’re directly related to the aforementioned mutants and have their consent to go through the gates. Charles is Juggernaut’s brother (and I think only living relative on the island?), so if he says no then Juggernaut’s not allowed to visit Krakoa.

...say, seeing how Deadpool’s daughter is a mutant, is she allowed on Krakoa? Would Deadpool be allowed if she says so?

I wonder what happens when Amanda Sefton decides to come visit Kurt? Can T'challa visit as Ororo's ex? Or as a head of state? We've seen Dr. Strange come by to visit Ilyanna, and I don't really think anyone on the island is prepared to stop him.

Do Magneto's kids and grandkids get a pass since he's on the ruling council? What would be the political consequences to him if Wanda popped in for a visit?

[scorntx]

Don't think T'Challa's going to be popping by to visit Ororo any time soon...

As for Wanda, she probably wouldn't get more than five steps before a lynch mob tried to get her.

[zachbeacon]

Pretty much.

Apparently Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver haven't been fixed yet so I doubt they (or half the Young Avengers) will be by to visit Magneto any time soon.

As for Strange and Sefton, I think Magik is just about the only one* who can stop them (well, maybe slow Strange down) and I'm not sure she'd want to.

*Well, maybe Selene.

[nyadnar17]

Thats....that is Chuck blatantly lying.

Human's can't come without an escort. But Northstar's husband is there, Cyclop's dad is there, and a few other there are humans on Krakoa.

[mindsweeper]

He could be allowed if they allow him but apparently they don’t like him. It’s like getting a visa to visit a foreign country ... it’s not a guarantee.

Chuck is obviously using this to cut him out of his life.

[zachbeacon]

I mean Chuck and Cain don't have the greatest relationship but you'd think Tom would want him there. It's gotta be dull being a door all day.

[dan_ingram]

You'd think that the X-Men in general would be more grateful. Cain pitched in at their weakest moment and did what he could to help.

Their thanks is 'Stay away'?

[zachbeacon]

I mean I guess when you put it that way it shouldn't be surprising considering their treatment of Deadpool.

[dan_ingram]

Well, as much as I like Wade, he is a complete and utter wildcard. He might accidentally burn the island down simply trying to find some good Mexican food.

Cain's a bit more reliable personality wise, and is pretty damn powerful to boot. You'd think that they'd at least want a few people who wouldn't be disabled by mutant power dampeners

[deh_tommy]

Juggernaut has a boyfriend?

[zachbeacon]

Black Tom

[jaxjyls]

First time I've seen Juggs with a proper character and personality

[deh_tommy]

That makes me unreasonably happy to see some kind of X-related thing finally using another font for the title.

[kd_the_movie]

this looks great. Fabian is one of the most underrated writers, wish he'd do more DC work :(

[zachbeacon]

I just wish he found more work period.

He does apparently have a novel coming out in 2021 but I don't know anything beyond the name; Suburban Dicks.
