Mystique Could Become The New Leader Of The XMen

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Inferno #3

The current state of the X-Men is rocky to say the least, as the mutants are on the precipice of total annihilation in part from a conflict outside of Krakoa but mostly from within the Quiet Council itself, a conflict that could lead to Mystique becoming the new leader of the X-Men. The anti-mutant organization known as O.R.C.H.I.S. put the Omega Sentinel and Nimrod online, gearing up for a full-on strike against the mutants once enough support is gathered against mutants around the globe. While the X-Men are fighting off the sentinel threat, a secret within Krakoa has been revealed, one which could destroy the mutant society and potentially make Mystique its new leader.

In Inferno #3 written by Jonathan Hickman with art by R.B. Silva, Stefano Caselli, Adriano Di Benedetto, and Valerio Schiti, Emma Frost tells Mystique and the newly resurrected Destiny that Moira MacTaggert is alive and that she is a mutant. Not only that, but Moira was instrumental in establishing Krakoa along with Magneto and Professor X. After receiving that intel, Mystique and Destiny track Moira down and find out that she had been kidnapped by O.R.C.H.I.S.. The duo save Moira only to hold her hostage themselves, meanwhile Charles and Magneto attempt to rescue Moira as well from the anti-mutant group’s facility but are bombarded by an small army accompanied by Nimrod who responded to Mystique and Destiny’s initial intrusion.

While they weren’t directly responsible, Mystique and Destiny’s actions in kidnapping Moira from O.R.C.H.I.S. led to Professor X and Magneto falling into a sentinel trap, one which may cost the two their lives. Now, Magneto and Professor X are as good as dead and Moira is in the custody of Mystique and Destiny, all of which is detrimental to the established power structure of Krakoa. With all three of the founding members of Krakoa out of the picture, there would be a hole at the top of the food chain that would need to be filled, and Mystique and Destiny are primed to fill it.

Leading up to the situation that played out in the latest Inferno issue, Mystique gained the support of the Quiet Council of Krakoa to elect Destiny as a council member. The election took place after Mystique maneuvered to have Destiny resurrected, something Moira, Charles, and Magneto kept from happening in secrecy since Krakoa was founded. Everything Mystique has done leading up to Inferno #3 has been both to get her lover back and a play for power. If Charles and Magneto are killed by Nimrod, Moira remains in their grasp, and Mystique and Destiny keep the support they gained from the Quiet Council, they could be the new rulers of Krakoa and all of mutantkind.

Mystique and Destiny are no strangers to being the leaders of a mutant group as the two founded the second incarnation of the Brotherhood of Mutants, a team whose biggest success was depowering Ms. Marvel and taking down the Avengers. Now on Krakoa, the two have dismantled the current status of their government and hold all the cards in the potential reshaping of its future. In the position they are in now, Mystique could rise to the leadership role once again and become the new leader of the X-Men with Destiny proudly by her side.
