Marvel's Most Powerful Mutant Is Bringing Cosmic War to the X-Men
Warning: Contains spoilers for X-Men Red#1
The unbridled rage of Vulcan, one of Marvel's most powerful and dangerous mutants, will bring a cosmic war to the X-Men's doorstep. While mutants are trying to establish their Arakko colony on the planet Mars, Vulcan's claims to the Shi'Ar throne threaten to destabilize the entire galaxy.
Gabriel Summers (Vulcan) is the brother of Cyclops and Havoc. All three are mutants with the power to manipulate energy to some degree, but Gabriel is without a doubt the most powerful of the X-Men's Craz Summers family. After his debut, he was described to be «past Omega level» by professor Xavier, and even a powerful cosmic creature like Adam Warlock recognized Vulcan as one of the most powerful beings he ever met. However, Gabriel's tragic history makes him unstable and dangerous. Extracted from her dead mother's womb by the Shi-Ar Emperor D'Ken, artificially aged to adulthood to be a slave, Vulcan found his way to Earth and joined Professor X's «original» second X-Men team, sent to rescue the founding X-Men from the clutches of the living island Krakoa. When the mission went wrong Gabriel was trapped there for years half-dead, only to later find out that Xavier had erased the memory of his team from everyone's minds. Enraged, Vulcan fled into space to get his revenge on the Shi-Ar, claiming the throne for himself and becoming Emperor, plunging the galaxy into a war between Shi'Ar and Inhumans. Though he was seemingly killed at the end of that conflict, Vulcan re-emerged when the X-Men founded the mutant nation of Krakoa, apparently changed into a better man (but actually hiding a terrible secret).
