The Hellfire Gala/Fall of X Discussion

Spoilers: Emma and Xavier wants Kamala to reveal herself as a mutant as a political move for mutantkind. Kamala is reborn, and Hope explains that she's a hybrid between a mutant and an Inhuman. Xavier reveals that the Terrigen mist suppressed the awakening of her mutant powers. She is given a costume and gala attire. At the ball, she feels uncomfortable and refuses to reveal herself to the world.

The treehouse is under attack, and Cyclops leaves to check it. Irene and Mystique have an argument and leave the party. The Avengers receive an emergency call from Captain America and leave the party. Rogue tags along. Jean announces that she and Scott are leaving the X-Men, and that Synch and Talon are the new leaders. All candidates are elected, but Nimrod descends from the sky, killing everyone except Juggernaut, who is thrown off the building with Jean since she took the blunt.

Iceman faces Nimrod. Illyana tries to teleport everyone out, but her powers fail. Nimrod kills Bobby, and Jean attacks him using Juggernaut as a bullet. The Stark Sentinels arrive. Dr. Stasis and Karima arrive through a gate, revealing that Stasis sabotaged the Krakoan medication. He demonstrates its effects on humans at the gala, causing them to turn against each other, explaining that he wants mutants off the Earth.

Moira arrives and attacks Jean with a blade imbued with Blightswill. Xavier surrenders to them and asks the X-Men to stop attacking. Stasis and Moira reveal that if mutants don't leave, they'll kill one human for each mutant and escalate the numbers until humanity is wiped out. Xavier agrees to send the mutants away from Earth and sends a global message for everyone to enter the gates around the world. However, some mutants with psychic training aren't affected by his message.

Curse is furious with Xavier and Illyana, and a group including Marrow, Mary, Dani, and Dust drag her through the gate. Exodus pushes the Five through another gate. Meanwhile, Mother Righteous is performing a spell to trap one of Krakoa's islands in a magical lantern, seemingly where mutants who passed through the gates are headed.

Dying, Jean talks to Firestar and tells her to be the mutant fighting from within Orchis. They devise a plan for Stasis to believe Firestar was a traitor recruited before joining the X-Men in the last election, and the other mutants will believe it too. Angelica is supposed to save any mutants left around the world. If anything goes wrong, they should blame Beast, and people will believe it automatically.

Jean says her farewells to Scott and asks him to be strong. She says goodbye to Logan and tells him to seek revenge. He kills many Orchis members. Emma Frost and Lourdes make everyone hold hands and teleport to the Hellfire Club NY Chapter. Lourdes has been hit and dies. The gates are hacked and closed for good. Back at the gala, the humans want to leave as news spread that no one survived the event. Stasis orders soldiers to kill them, and they do so in front of Xavier. Moira tries to kill him, but Xavier asks for help, and Rogue arrives and rips Moira in half.

During the escape, Rogue distracts the Sentinels, and Xavier finds out that he can't locate the minds of the mutants he sent through the gates. He had induced them to go to Arakko, but they never arrived; they're dead. He falls to the ground crying, and Rogue is left stunned. Xavier tells her to leave and avenge them. Xavier is now the only mutant left in Krakoa. In the post-credits scene, Emma and Fisk are scheming, and Kitty leans against a gate and crosses to the other side, facing numerous Orchis soldiers.

Note: Betsy Braddock does not appear nor is she mentioned in the "Hellfire Gala" issue. Her whereabouts are unknown. Betsy is merely acknowledged in a promotional image released by Marvel's Twitter, showing that she has a reserved seat at the Summers family table.

Maybe it was a good thing Betsy wasn't there. They prob would have killed her.

randybear said...

With Otherworld now safe for mutants would have been a good way to put the OW and Betsy plot to USE and send mutants there for she and Ray to protect. But much how XForce is useless when it comes to organic plots involving OW they never happen. This era sucks.

Also killing Jean is so stupid. Shock us and kill Emma or Kitty for once.

Nate X said...

That's the problem with Betsy's Captain Britain status quo. Being in charge of Otherworld, protecting the Multiverse sounds great in theory, but in reality not even the X-Office cares about it.

@randy, we’re you a fan of House of X/Powers of 10? I thought this era started out spectacularly with those titles and I did love Inferno. I think if Hickman had stuck around we might have seen some cool things. I’m don’t know the X-Men to return to the mansion and being hated/feared yet kissing non-mutants’ asses. Wondering if this Fall of X will resemble anything remotely like post- Fall of The Mutant years when all the X-Teams were scattered and I’m dark times. Specifically, I recall that was what made the old Excalibur so stand-out. It was the one fanciful, lighthearted book while Uncanny, New Mutants, and X-Factor were all very dark (which I did not mind as the writing was good across all four).

Also, here is to hoping that maybe Bets will be part of this newly announced team:

Also, this Nimrod panel is dark. This team could have been dope, but I don’t mind the high stakes of them being annihilated:

randybear said...

Yes I loved the concept of Krakoa it was very exciting and I enjoyed HoX and PoX however it just went to shit pretty quick IMO. I wish they had trusted Hickman and allowed him to tell the story.

Rahsaan said...

Sorry for all the typos in that reply. I thought I’d disabled auto correct on this device to avoid that but apparently was dead wrong.

Jaime Braz said...

@Rahsaan Krakoa was a fresh and promising idea. Hickman seemed to keep his promise of streamlining the convoluted X-Men timelines and he came up with a brilliant idea of revealing a long-time ally Moira to be a mutant with reality reseting powers via reincarnation. The problem was that Marvel interrupted his momentum and brought other writers to extend and enrich his story. It became the chimera we witnessed today with the last HF. This happened because Marvel went greedy again to stretch the dollar bill. Time again they favor quantity over quality.

Jaime Braz said...

@Nate X you summed up exactly the issue with Betsy stuck as Captain Britain.

Not working to her favor quite the opposite. The Captain Britain role has written Betsy to a corner outside of the X-Men affairs. Her interactions with main plots and her mutant teammates were non existent throughout the Dawn of X. She appeared once or twice at the Quiet Council and her contribution to Krakoa was insignificant compared to others.

From a powers, appearance and personality standpoint it was a disastrous change. The Psylocke essence that permeated Betsy and made her distinct to the X-Men was stripped off and given to somebody else.

The final assessment that was the Krakoa era for Betsy is negative and terribly disappointing.

X-Man said...

Still much more clear than some of Betsy's recent storylines @Rahsaan lol.

X-Man said...

Agreed @Jaime Braz.

Rahsaan said...

I just read the Hellfiemre Issue. It was actually good, and has me kinda excited for the fallout. It very much feels like the vibe of Fall of the Mutants and everything with the Siege Perilous (the real Siege Perilous; not the one in Knights of 10) through to the Muir Isle Saga. Just for this era. Could be awesome to see where this goes. It sucks this newly elected X-Men roster got murdered as it was a line up of some awesome, underrated characters who are all pretty interesting.

Kuno said...

Betsy is only mentioned because she's with Rachel.
I'm dead lol

Unknown said...

Betsy in summer's table... i Wonder the topics in that....

Rahsaan said...

@Unknown, I’d wager everyone at that table is placing bets on who she will try to bed next and when:

Gabriel

or

Jean

We should all cast our ballots too in this matter? Hey, maybe Office X can do official vote for fans like they do with the flagship team roster every year.
