The pillars of the new era

Writer Kieron Gillen, responsible for ‘Rise of the Powers of X’, highlights the importance of Charles Xavier and Moira MacTaggert in the saga.

Gillen emphasizes that despite the big ideas pioneered by Jonathan Hickman, the story is deeply personal, highlighting the journey of Xavier and Moira in search of freedom.

In this way, it highlights that the saga begins and returns to these two characters, highlighting their choices and desires for freedom.

Xavier and MacTaggert’s impact on the new narrative

Charles Xavier, an icon of the Krakoan Era, played a crucial role in the creation and dissemination of the mutant nation with his psychic abilities. Such action was important to establish the objectives and presence of mutants in the world.

At the same time, Moira MacTaggert, initially seen as an ally, revealed herself to be a key player with hidden intentions.

With her newfound powers of reincarnation, she guided Xavier in the founding of Krakoa, but at the same time, she harbored a secret hope of eradicating mutants. Her alliance with Orchis puts this threat at an alarming stage.

The initial editions of ‘Fall of the House of X’ and ‘Rise of the Powers of X’ are now available, and promise to explore the evolution of these two iconic X-Men characters in the post-Krakoana phase.

With this, readers will have the opportunity to follow the continuation of the mutant saga, in which the choices and actions of Xavier and Moira will play a key role in the narrative.
