Now that mutantkind has their own nation, a new nationalistic hero has emerged - and he'll bওe replacing Cyclops as leader of the X-Men.

After 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:revealing him to the public in September, Marvel has confirmed that Captain Krakoa "takes charge of the X-Men" in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:January 2022's X-Men #7 - even replacing team lead𒁃er Cyclops, as seen in series art𓄧ist Pepe Larraz's cover to the issue.

This apparent leadership change comes just months after Cyclops stepped down from Krakoa's leadership structure to focus exclusively on 🃏being the leader of the X-Men.

A third option might be staring us in the face - what if Captain Krakoa is Krakoa? In addition to being the island the mutants are living on, Krakoa is a sentient mutant being - one ♐which Professor X and Cypher have been experimenting, cultivating, and training to expand its consciousness to the point that it has manifested a roughly Groot-like body on several occasions. Krakoa's flowers are known to have special abilities, and Captain Krakoa not-so-coincidentally has flowers around his headpꦬiece - could this be the next stage in Krakoa's existence?

According to Marvel, Captain Krakoa will debut in December 22's , followed by the just-r✅evealed X-Men #7 on January 19, 2022.
