X-Corp #2 Preview

[alliterator]

You've shown how the magical side of mutantdom can make for strange bedfellows in X of Swords and Excalibur — is that something to look forward to in X-Corp as it expands the Reign of X into the business world?

Who knows? That’s the thing about putting a price on something — anyone can theoretically come buyin'.

Not to mention Sinister who is also a former nazi from the concentration camps specifically the one magneto knew as nosferatu who he spent decades hunting

[tinygaylaura]

If I remember right, no one actually knows about this in-universe. We the reader know what he did but Magneto was not aware that "Nosferatu" was in fact Mr Sinister and I don't think anyone else is aware of Sinister's despicable deeds during this time either

He wasn't calling himself "Mr Sinister" yet at that time and he also looked very different to how he does now

I hope Magneto learns the truth and ends Sinister permanently. Allowing that abomination on Krakoa was one of the worst decisions Xavier has ever made, and he's made some REALLY stupid decisions over the years so that's saying something

That was Magneto’s decision, too. Besides, can’t multiple members of the Quiet Council read minds? Jean and Xavier would know.

Why I are the nazis even allowed on Krakoa if everyone gives them crap, yet Monet just a page or two beforehand remarks how she LIKES SELENE

That comes down to the problem of making it so that EVERY mutant is allowed on Krakoa. Some mutants should not be allowed anywhere, not because they are mutants but because they are just the scum of the earth

Xavier being Xavier I'm sure he has some godawful and ridiculous arguement prepared like "Oh but if we start picking and choosing what mutants are welcome it's a slippery slope blah blah blah" as if you couldn't just say "All mutants are welcome except mutants who are literally nazis" and have that be the end of it

I know we often disagree about Krakoa but the fact that Krakoa should NOT allow trash like Fenris anywhere near it is something we are in agreement on

Sinister has quite powerful mental abilities as well so my assumption would be that he has shields to guard against anyone learning the parts of his past that are even more sordid than the rest of it. Otherwise how could he be getting away with all the underhanded plotting he's doing over in Hellions

I can't believe any of the Quiet Council would let Sinister on it if they knew about this. Magneto, Kate, Emma, Mystique, Ororo, Kurt and Jean certainly would not and I think even Sebastian Shaw would be disgusted in an Even Evil Has Standards kind of way

[obsidianwolf]

Yeah they probably don't know he was a nazi but they do know that he's a mass murdering Eugenicist who has been trafficing, murdering, mutilating and experimenting on folks against their will for more than a century.

And to top it all off he's not even a mutant he's just walking around with someone else' stolen x-gene and we've seen them reject others for similar things.

The only real difference between Sinister and Fenris is that Sinister is useful to the council and offers them something they can't easily replace where as Fenris really just offers financial assets and there are plenty of other rich A-hole mutants who they can use instead.

Your preaching to the choir here. I've been saying all along that once they got access to his cloning tech Xavier should have arranged an "Unfortunate little mishap" for Nathaniel Essex or perhaps sent him on a "Long vacation, who can say when he'll be coming back"
