![]() The wheel turns, and as the old song goes, everybody wants to rule the world. Omega even transfers her experience of the future into the mind of Devo in a way that directly parallels how Xavier gains a similar knowledge of Moira’s lives. ![]() Moira uses Xavier and creates the X-Men, Omega uses Devo and creates Orchis. Omega and Moira are mirrors of each other in Hickman’s story – the woman who knows the actual stakes and what can happen, and attempts to steer history towards a desired outcome. It works so well that Omega has to come back and start Orchis and get Nimrod online well ahead of schedule. But in the future of Moira’s tenth life, it all actually works. It’s the reversal of decades of X-Men comics, including Hickman’s own run – we’re always meant to look at mutants as the underdogs, we believe Moira MacTaggert when she says that no matter what the mutants always lose. ![]() The revelation that the Omega Sentinel we’ve been seeing since House of X #1 is not quite the Karima Shapandar from previous X-Men comics but rather a version of her from the future who’d come back in time to prevent a “mutant hell” in which the new dream of Charles Xavier – “mutant ascension” - had come to fruition, laying waste to humanity, post-humanity, and AI alike. That’s the line that made me audibly gasp. Silva with Valerio Schiti and Stefano Caselli ![]()
