The X-Men's Secret Battle Suits Are Preparing Mutants For War
Warning: Contains spoilers for X-Men #8
The mutant nation of Krakoa is seen with distrust from the rest of the world, as the idea of an entire race of super-powered beings rallying under one banner is certainly a scary one. According to a revelation made in the latest issue of X-Men #8, by Gerry Duggan, Javier Pina, and Marte Gracia, these fears might be justified, as mutant genius inventor Forge is developing a new technology to turn every mutant into a weapon.

The mutants quickly created an efficient organization and made Krakoa into a utopia, using their gifts and the most advanced technology in the galaxy. The X-Men, after being briefly disbanded, became the flagship mutant team, the heroes representing mutantkind in front of the rest of the world. The new members of the X-Men were selected through a telepathic election that called upon every mutant on Earth, and of course Cyclops was one of the chosen ones, until he was killed during a mission, with his death broadcasted on TV. To avoid exposing the mutant resurrection protocols, Cyclops had to assume another public identity, Captain Krakoa, who makes use of a high-tech suit created by Forge to simulate a completely different set of superpowers.
