Immortal X-Men is an American superhero comic book series written by Kieron Gillen and published by Marvel Comics.[3]
Publication history
Writer-editor Jonathan Hickman and artist/co-plotter Pepe Larraz created the Quiet Council of Krakoa in House of X #6 (October, 2019). The Council appeared in many comics in Dawn of X and Reign of X relaunches, creating and enforcing the laws of the Krakoa and prosecuting and delivering judgement on mutants accused of breaking those laws.[4]
In March 2022, the council got their own comic book as Immortal X-Men as part of Destiny of X relaunch.[5] It was written by Kieron Gillen and drawn by Lucas Werneck, build plot points for their upcoming event Sins of Sinister.[6] After briefly transformed into Immoral X-Men limited series, Gillen and Wernck will continued next story plans for Immortal X-Men.[7][8]
Plot
After the events of Inferno, Magneto stepped down from the Quiet Council of Krakoa. Quiet Council searched for candidates including Black Priestess and Hope Summers. After Black Priestess was outvoted by Hope to take Magneto's seat, she to transform the External Gate into a giant monster. Quiet Council successfully managed to kill Black Priestess, also defeating the monster.[9]
The Quiet Council kept differences from X-Men by secrets. Mister Sinister started using clones of Moira to reset timelines and scheming against the Quiet Council. Human-mutant relations started to deteorite when Cyclops revealed about Resurrection Protocols through Ben Urich. After confronting him at Hellfire Gala, White Queen shared the truth about Moira to X-Men to learn about Doctor Stasis.
Judgment Day
Prime Eternal Druig and Moira planned to destroy Resurrection Protocols. Destiny foresaw the upcoming war between the Avengers, X-Men, and Eternals and alerted Quiet Council. While White Queen informed them about Doctor Statis, Mister Sinister's clone claiming to be the real Sinister. This caused Nathaniel Essex to escape only to be captured briefly by Eternals to start life into Progenitor in the Avengers Mountain and stop Druig.[10]
Eternals attacked Quiet Council's telepath by the Uni-Mind which also allowed the Eternals to assault the Krakoa. Exodus coordinated telepathic counterattack along with Professor X, White Queen and Hope, before joining the fight against the Hex. The assassination of Hope was prevented by Wolverine and the Hex were being eventually retreated from battle by Progenitor, who addressed that people of Earth will be judged.
Only Red Queen and Exodus were judged positively while Black King, Destiny, Mystique, Professor X and White Queen received negative judgment. Mister Sinister and Destiny influenced Quiet Council to vote for destruction the Progenitor but that along with the election of Starfox as new Prime Eternal didn't prevented the Progenitor from destroying Earth. Avengers, Eternals, X-Men and even Orchis after the contact of Nightcrawler managed to defeat Progenitor.
Sins of Sinister
Destiny and Mystique were aware that there are three other clones of Mister Sinister, who was suspicious of Destiny predicting his use of Moira clones. This led to many resets in the timeline as he managed to assassinate many members of the Quiet Council.
