Chuck gets a hero moment on Judgement Day

Let's be honest, Charles Xavier was not behaving heroically during the first Krakoan age. Creepy, manipulative, condescending, cold-blooded, committed to realpolitik and the big picture. Nobody is perfect, and nothing prepares a teacher/headmaster for being patriarch of a young nation under constant fire. That was the point, of course, but I admire Gillen giving him a moment to shine.

So when Druig, temporary Prime Eternal, decided genocide was dandy Charles held the fort alone in a psychic siege against immortal angels. He's not battling one Eternal there - he's battling ALL of them. They've been doing this for a million years and they failed to get past Chuck's big brain and will to protect his people.

Sure, he died a few times doing it, his brain melted into cosmic sludge - but they had eggs good to go so he could get back into it. 24 hours straight, while participating in council meetings/running a country under attack at the same time.

It's nice to see him flex his superhero chops. 🫅🧠👏

Illyana Rasputin dying in A.X.E.: Judgment Day #5 and Immortal X-Men #7

Since this was revealed to be a Celestial illusion, can anyone remind me if Illyana has ever had a confirmed Krakoan resurrection by the Five? I can’t recall any.

(And my headcanon is that having been reborn once already in the non-linear time of Limbo, she may very well be so connected to it that Limbo will always bring her back on its own. Illyana might have put in a DNR notice (Do Not Resurrect) to prevent there ending up being two of her. Which could have made for a good story with her friends hearing from the Five that they refuse to bring her back and not understanding why, and Illyana then turning up as they’re grieving her.)

[illyanarasputinfan]

My favorite “Magik” moments of 2022!

New Mutants #26-28 (2022) MARVEL - Illyana meets three different versions of herself during The Labors of Magik. An elderly warrior trapped in Limbo for years, a seven-year-old captive of Belasco, and the evil Queen Illyana Rasputina, who chose to remain in Limbo and rule instead of returning to Earth.

Midnight Suns #1 (2022) MARVEL - Blade gives an unsuspecting class at Strange Academy a surprise lecture on “Defense Against Vampires”.

X-Men #16 (2022) MARVEL - Magik teleports Firestar to the Avengers Mansion during battle.

Midnight Suns #3 (2022) MARVEL - The team receives magically enchanted armor forged by Tony Stark / Doctor Strange to save Zoe Laveau and thwart an apocalypse.

New Mutants #30 (2022) MARVEL - Illyana escorts Deadpool off of Krakoa.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Judgment Day is the best Marvel event since Hickman's Secret Wars as well as the best "heroes go to war with each other" series they've ever done.
