Fridge Brilliance
- In retrospect, the reveal in House of X Issue 2 finally clears up one of the more lingering questions about Moira that had been unanswered since the 1990s — How was she the only human to contract the Legacy Virus? The answer is that she was never a human to begin with.
- The civilization behind the Phalanx and thus the Technarchy being sufficiently advanced aliens capable of building with elementary particles justifies the Technorganic virus being a universal matter converter.
- The unstated reason for House of X Issue 1's meeting between Magneto and the ambassadors taking place in Israel: one of the things Krakoa, in its role a new mutant homeland, offers to all mutants is citizenship. The strong parallels between that and the Right of Return that Israel offers to all Jews (which would also include Magneto, in the Marvel Universe) are underlined by the choice of location.
- Though precogs (those who can see the future) aren't welcome, illusionists ought to be, so Amy from Magneto 2014 should be back. (Though they don't bring back suicides, it could be argued that Amy's assisted one wasn't completely voluntary.)
- When people are reborn by golden egg, they come out as adults with powers. This means the telepaths have to know what's going on even before they get their memories into them.
- When Joseph showed up in Rosenberg's run on Uncanny, he was clearly only there to get killed. It makes sense now: He won't be coming back. He might not even be backed up, but in any case his genetic material is Magneto's, and Magneto isn't likely to allow it.
- The not bringing back clones (with the exception of Emma's single-donor test-tube babies) probably has a lot to do with Magneto's unwillingness to bring back Joseph.
- The reasoning behind the first law of Krakoa, "Kill no human", is flawed. The law is good, of course, but its argument is that human don't have a way to come back, and they do. At zero Kelvin you are dead, Winter Soldier. Even normal humans with no additional powers, biological or technological, have been known to come back from cryo in the Marvel universe.
Fridge Logic
- The Titans are supremely advanced civilizations that only beings like Galactus and the Phoenix Force can threaten except the far less advanced humans developed the means to alter and break them respectively.
Fridge Horror
- Moira's nixing of the resurrection of precogs means that Blindfold (for now) will remain dead. Ruth must have known she wouldn't be welcome on Krakoa, even if that was the future that came to pass. So there was not a single good future for her to look forward to. (Turns out she made it easy for them by committing suicide.)
- Seeing as the eggs are organic material, they won't be able to bring back Kevin (Wither) with them.
