Beware of unmarked spoilers
This page is specifically for House of X and Powers of X. WMG and spoilers for later stories should go on the relevant WMG pages, not this one.The timelines representing Moira's other lives will play into the story
Which is to say that characters from those timelines, along with the Bad Future shown previously, will end up in the main universe. Jonathan Hickman said that there's not time travel in this story, but he never said anything about dimensional travel. Specifically, it appears as though the Year 100 timeline may be set in Moira's ninth life.- Confirmed. The Year 1000 timeline is also Moira's sixth life. Although no characters from those timelines (other than Moira) obviously appear in the present during House of X or Powers of X.
Moira’s undisclosed sixth timeline was actually the events of the main marvel timeline
Might explain all the people that were once dead being alive and well.- Jossed. It was one of the Bad Future timelines shown, and the means by which the mutants were resurrected has been revealed.
Apocalypse becomes part of the alliance between Moira, Professor X, and Magneto before the present day
Considering that Moira is making use of her knowledge of the other timelines, and she specifically pointed out that Professor X and Magneto would need to work together to stand a chance of surviving, what could another insanely-powerful, charismatic mutant working alongside them do to hurt their cause?- Jossed. Apocalypse only joins Moira, Professor X, and Magneto in the present timeframe. However, Mr. Sinister joined them before the present day, so this was a pretty close guess.
All of the time periods in Powers Of X are alternate timelines from House of X
We already know X2 is actually Moira's ninth life so maybe X1, X3 or maybe even X0 are all part of Moira's other lives.- Jossed. The past and present are from Moira's tenth life, and the sixth is from the Bad Future.
Xavier's playing a Cloning Gambit
From the start, it's clear that he's working with Sinister as well as Magneto, and cloning is Sinister's MO, cloning both himself and the Marauders, among other others (most famously, Jean Grey). At the start of House of X, Xavier's shown with mutants emerging from strange pod-like things on Krakoa. Moreover, with X-Men #1 featuring two of the casualties (Scott and Wolverine) from the attack on Orchis, it seems pretty unlikely that they're actually dead. Additionally, everyone is falling in line with suspicious ease behind Xavier's Ambiguously Evil policies, and as Magneto has demonstrated in the past, clones (such as the Marauders) can be programmed.- Partially confirmed. While X is using the Mister Sinister's database of mutant DNA, along with the powers of several mutants (Goldballs, Tempus, Proteus, Elixir and Hope Summers) to clone new bodies for dead mutants, while X and other mutant telepaths give the clones a copy of the deceased's mind. There doesn't seem to be any malicious intention from X's part.
Sabretooth will have a mutant child & descendant line in the future
- Powers of X #6 shows mutants as an endangered species living in a preserve run by the dominant life forms of Earth, Homo Novissima. When the Librarian enters the reserve, he's attacked by a mutant very similar in appearance to Sabretooth with similar build, height, clawed-fingers, pouncing, blonde hair, and having the arm spikes of 90's Jim Lee Sabretooth.
◊ Given Hickman's penchant for long-term planning and set-ups, this may be a clear Chekhov's Gun. If this is a child or descendant of Creed 1,000 years in the future, it can be a clue that he will escape exile and possibly make good on Kurt's "Make More Mutants" rule which would double as Foregone Conclusion as we have to see how Creed escapes, and who is the mother of the child(ren) he'll have. This future took place during Moira's 6th life, but as shown with Sinister getting a head start on his Chimera work, certain things can still play out in multiple lives even if some other things may be changed or averted. - Not revealed in House of X or Powers of X, which doesn't mean it won't be covered later.
The Quiet Council is arranged according to the Western Zodiac.
- It would even make sense of the sorting-by-season. Start with Emma as Aries in the middle of spring and go clockwise.
- It could also be structured according to a deck of cards, or the Minor Arcana in Tarot.
- Kurt: Ace (newness) and Gemini (double nature, parents from two worlds)
- Jean: Two (balance) and Cancer (emotional core)
- Storm: Three (manifestation, success) and Leo (same)
- Charles: Four (structure, rules) and Virgo (same)
- Erik: Five (rebellion, change) and Libra (swinging between two extremes, like balance scales, or opposite poles)
- En Sabah Nur: Six (hard work, tension, efforts that make peace possible) and Scorpio (Designated Villain of the Zodiac)
- Sinister: Seven (finding what is hidden) and Sagittarius (the archer whose proverbial arrows hit their target)
- Paris: Eight (reaping what you sow) and Capricorn (practical to the exclusion of everything else)
- Raven: Nine (persistence) and Ten (power) and Aquarius (crazy)
- Red King (unrevealed at end of these two series): Pages and Knights (messages and youthfulness) and Pisces (fluid, two states)
- The person Shaw wants to replace her with, his son Shinobi, manifests the same qualities, even sharing the density control power.
- Emma: Queen (of Hellfire) and Aries (creative, fiery)
- Sebastian: King (of Hellfire) and Taurus (stability, stubbornness)
- It would perhaps make more sense to have the four generals as Knights (Cyke wands/fire, Gorgon swords/air, and so on), and Cypher as page since he kind of has that role anyway.
- Magic, originally a farm girl, would represent coins or pentagrams and the earth. Bishop, now a sailor, cups and water.
Nate Grey's meltdown was arranged by Moira and Xavier to get him out of the way
And, moreover, I think it's why old Cable is dead/staying dead. Let's look at the evidence.
First: Krakoa has an explicit, if secret, 'no precog' policy. Nate is well-established as being, among many, many other things, an extremely powerful precog.
Second: Nate's actions in X-Men: Disassembled and Age of X-Man were triggered by a combination of despair that nothing ever seemed to change, that the world was moving towards disaster, and the sudden return of his full-powers and, apparently, his genetic time-bomb. The latter came about because somehow, he found a Life Seed. Very rare, very powerful, and not the sort of thing that just lies around.
Third: Who knows about Celestial tech (through association with Apocalypse in a past life)? Moira. Who knows Nate literally inside out? Moira. Who has his trust from way back in his solo series? Moira. Who's been planning this for a very long time, knows very well how suspicious Nate would be of Krakoa (plus anything to do with Apocalypse and Sinister in general), and how dangerous he could be to her and Xavier's plans? Moira. In other words, she has the means, the motive, and the opportunity. All she'd have to do is give him a little push...
- Not revealed in House of X or Powers of X, which doesn't mean it won't be covered later. Some of Moira's diary entries are still redacted when the two series end.
Krakoan marriage laws will allow polygamy
Assuming they ever get more than three laws, that is.- Not revealed in House of X or Powers of X, which doesn't mean it won't be covered later.
The Mutant Language is based on Ithkuil
As noted under Starfish Language, Ithkuil is an almost impossibly complex language that’s notoriously difficult to learn. The use of abstract symbols are very similar to Ithkuil, for example.- Not revealed in House of X or Powers of X, which doesn't mean it won't be covered later.
Mutants actually fared pretty well in Moira's first two lifetimes
No hard evidence, then it would be on the main page, but in her second life she mentions the observer's effect, which ruins everything. In her first lifetime she never mentions even knowing mutants exist, although that should have been common knowledge and at least a few of her children and grandchildren should have inherited her x-gene. And maybe her observing it would have ruined things as early as her second life, and her plane went down on account of someone, perhaps a certain precog, knowing that.- Not revealed in House of X or Powers of X, which doesn't mean it won't be covered later.
Omega Sentinel is actually working for the mutants as a double-agent.
Why would she not be allowed on Krakoa, when non-mutant relatives and special guests are? She may be a sleeper agent or subtly being controlled by her tech/Xavier's mind, which is why she's hard to read. Her Face–Heel Turn in one possible future is because something went wrong.- Not revealed in House of X or Powers of X, which doesn't mean it won't be covered later.
