   Krakoa is a sentient living island located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It was once believed that it was spawned from nuclear testing in the area.[1] It eventually was revealed to have been part of an older sentient landmass known as Okkara, which in ancient times was split in two by the Twilight Sword, forming Krakoa and Arakko. Although hostile at first, the land eventually became a safe haven and later home nation for mutants on Earth, succeeding Genosha. Vitalized by mutants' psychic energy, Krakoa recognizes mutants as its own, allowing mutants to use its Gateways.

   Through unknown means, Krakoa eventually returned to the Pacific Ocean after being freed from the Stranger.

   After apparently abandoning his dream for peaceful coexistence, Professor X ultimately repurposed Krakoa into a sovereign nation state for mutants. Now donning a portable Cerebro, Xavier seemingly recruited and experimented on Krakoa with the help of Cypher and Warlock. Together they expanded Krakoa's consciousness and cultivated its biome to include exotic flowers used for various purposes, as such becoming the primary economic resource of the mutant nation.

   These Flowers of Krakoa could grow Habitats, self-sufficient offshoots of Krakoa that served as embassies around the solar system, while remaining connected to its hive mind via Gateways, which provided ways to instantly travel from one part of Krakoa to another. Cypher and Warlock gave Xavier a special flower to create Moira's No-Space, a place secret from the rest of Krakoa where Moira MacTaggert could live and she, Xavier and Magneto could scheme in private without anyone being able to track them. What Cypher didn't tell them was that Warlock had merged with Krakoa's biome and could now hear everything on the island, even things Krakoa itself couldn't hear.

   Additionally, Xavier bought world leading pharmaceutical companies with his vast wealth to produce three new super drugs from Krakoan flowers, developed from secret experiments by Beast using dead bodies, and offering them to every country that formally recognized Krakoa as a nation. These drugs — dubbed I, L, and M — operate as a adaptive antibiotic, extend the human lifespan by five years, and prevent human "diseases of the mind" respectively, allegedly hereby solving many devastating health problems in humans.

   The Quiet Council of Krakoa is the governing body tasked with creating and enforcing the laws of the nation-state upon Krakoa. The Quiet Council meets regularly to discuss matters of state. Members of the council may also convene a meeting to raise a particular issue, or when urgent matters arise. The Quiet Council also functions as the supreme court of Krakoa, prosecuting and delivering judgement on mutants accused of breaking the nation's sacred laws. The Quiet Council of Krakoa was designed by Professor Xavier and Magneto to be a twelve-person governing body of the mutant-exclusive nation of Krakoa. In order to achieve their goal of a united mutant nation, Xavier and Magneto made deals with several powerful and influential mutants, offering them a seat at the Quiet Council in exchange for their loyalty and cooperation. Distributed across four different tables, the Council was formed by the traditional leader figures of mutantkind Professor Xavier, Magneto and Apocalypse, the monarchs of the Hellfire Trading Company Emma Frost, Sebastian Shaw, and Kate Pryde, who were in charge of the economical transactions concerning the Krakoan drugs, the tenderhearted and faithful former members of the X-Men Storm, Nightcrawler, and Jean Grey, and the faces of usually extremist and terrorist initiatives Mystique, Exodus, and the vile Mister Sinister. Complementing the Council's configuration, Krakoa itself supervised their discussions, being represented by the linguist Cypher. The Council's inaugural meeting at the Grove was aimed at drafting and implementing a set of initial laws for Krakoa. After a discussion revolving around the complication of violent mutants such as Sabretooth, the Council decided upon three basic laws for the fledgling nation: 1) Make more mutants, in order to increase the mutant population; 2) Murder no man, since humans could not be resurrected through the mutant Resurrection Protocols; and 3) Respect the sacred land of Krakoa, as a way to preserve their home environment. Having broken the second rule, and due to his violent nature, repeated and long-time disregard for life, and resistance to following orders, Sabretooth was the first sentenced by the Council to the Pit of Exile, where mutants would no longer fall under the jurisdiction of humanity. However, Krakoa and the Quiet Council were built over secrets. Unbeknownst to most, Dr. Moira MacTaggert lived in a hidden chamber in Krakoa, the No-Place. Being a mutant with the power of resurrection, she was in her tenth life and had schemed for the creation of Krakoa alongside Professor Xavier and Magneto, with the rest of the world believing her to be dead. Afraid of being discovered, Moira was against the resurrection of the mutant seer Destiny, whose powers would be able to foresee a possible failure of Krakoa and Moira's existence. Still, Professor Xavier and Magneto decided to follow their own agenda despite Moira's recommendations.They blackmailed Destiny's wife and councilwoman Mystique, promising Destiny's resurrection in exchange for her being a spy in the anti-mutant organization Orchis. The Quiet Council became involved in several different state affairs. In coalition with the Great Captains of Krakoa, who were essentially the Krakoan defense force, they worked to protect the Krakoan interests.They also approved the creation of different organizations, such as the intelligence agency complemented by a special ops team granted with sanction to kill X-Force, the investigative office tasked with inspecting mutant murders X-Factor, and the group of erratic mutants tutored by Sinister, the Hellions. Apocalypse had parallel plans of his own. He wished to reunite Krakoa with its missing half, Arakko. Millenia ago, the two islands split apart to fight an invincible army of daemons, with Arakko and Apocalypse's family departing to resist them in the hell-dimension of Amenth. Apocalypse stayed to strengthen mutantkind and destroy the Amenthi. His machinations with the group Excalibur involved accessing Amenth through the magic realm of Otherworld through an External Gate he had secretly constructed in Krakoa. After revealing his plans to the Quiet Council, Apocalypse marched to Otherworld with a group of Krakoan mutants, only to be betrayed by his children, the first Horsemen. They had been corrupted by the Amenthi deity Annihilation. As a result, Krakoa went to war against Arakko with Otherworld as a battleground. Its ruler, the Omniversal Majestrix Saturnyne, arranged a tournament to settle the conflict as a competition between Swordbearers of Krakoa and of Arakko, the latter being led by Apocalypse's wife, the perverted Genesis.

   With Krakoa on the verge of losing the conflict, Cable contacted his parents Jean Grey and Great Captain Cyclops for an intervention.[15] Jean Grey and Cyclops chose to lead a team of X-Men into Otherworld to end the conflict. The Council decided not to lose any of its members to the war. As a consequence, Jean Grey chose to resign from her position, and the X-Men were reformed as an independent super-hero team that did not answer to the Quiet Council. With help from the reformed Captain Britain Corps and the X-Men, Krakoa won the final war against Amenth, with the deamonic corruption being contained. Apocalypse chose to move to Amenth with his family in exchange for the freedom of Arakko, which was moved to Earth. As such, the Council was left with another empty seat. King Namor of Atlantis was offered a position in the Quiet Council to fill the empty seat, but refused, believing that Krakoa had nothing to offer him.

   Another consequence of the war was the revival S.W.O.R.D. as a mutant space program run by Abigail Brand. Magneto served as a Quiet Council's liaison to Brand. In an effort to address various complications caused by the presence of Arakkii on Earth, the Council and the Arakkii government body of the Great Ring approved to move of the island and its inhabitants to Mars, which was terraformed by Omega Level Mutants of both islands under Magneto's coordination. Planet Arakko was declared the capital of the Sol system, giving mutantkind an upper hand in negotiations with alien civilizations through Brand's intervention. Storm battled for a position in the Great Ring of Arakko, becoming the Regent of Arakko in addition to being a member of the Quiet Council of Krakoa.

3. #3The Five

   Keys: Five, The Five

   Entry settings

   The Five were first conceived of long before the births of any of its members. In the early days of the partnership between Moira and Charles Xavier, Xavier speculated that several mutants working in tandem might be able to restore life to the dead. The pair lacked a mutant with reality warping powers, prompting Moira to find potential matches for the both of them that might produce such a mutant. This would lead to the births of Legion and Proteus, the latter of whom would become a member of the Five.

   In order to lay the groundwork for when this process might be realized, Xavier (and the now-initiated Magneto) contacted Mr. Sinister, charging him with creating a database with the genetic material of every known mutant, and contacted Forge, asking him to create a Cerebro-storage unit which could house backups of the consciousness of every known mutant, telepathically created and stored by Xavier himself.

   In the early days of the mutant nation of Krakoa, Xavier and Moira's age-old plan was finally realized, as the Five were brought together and set to their task of resurrecting mutants who had faced a premature end.

   The Five combine their mutant powers in order to resurrect deceased mutants. During this process of mutant resurrection, Egg produces a number of nonviable biological "eggs," equal to the number of mutants the Five have to resurrect. The eggs are then injected with mutant DNA from Mister Sinister's genetic catalogue, and then made viable thanks to Proteus' reality-altering powers. Elixir biologically gives the eggs life starting a new cellular replication process and husk growth, and then Tempus uses her time manipulation powers to quickly age the mutant husks. Hope Summers uses her powers to enhance everyone else's abilities. Hope's powers allow the Five to operate at both their peak and in unison. A telepath then copies over the mutant's consciousness, recorded by Cerebro, from a copy made at the time of their deaths, onto the husk. Through this process, the Five are effectively able to make new clones of deceased mutants, restoring their bodies, their powers, and their minds as they were at the time of their deaths.

   Xavier placed value in dividing the elements of the resurrection protocols, hence the Five did not have access to a Cerebro cradle housing back-ups or the collection of genetic material and were reliant on the aid of an external telepath.

   The more the Five practiced their resurrections, the easier the process became. Also, these five mutants appeared to become an inseparable family unit and were almost never seen apart from one another. Their connection appeared to have extended beyond the union of their powers, reaching the mutants themselves. On Krakoa, the Five were considered sacred and were to be protected at all costs.

   Because the powers of Proteus were directly associated with the destruction of his own body, The Five had a backup mutant husk prepared for Proteus to inhabit when he burned out his old one. Depending on the frequency with which he used his powers, a Proteus body normally lasted one week, or even a single day during periods of excessive power use.

   Due to the complexities of discerning who is dead, missing, or simply displaced, so there won't be multiple versions of the same mutant alive at once, the formation of X-Factor was approved. X-Factor Investigations would confirm the whereabouts and status of missing and potentially deceased mutants, and inform the Five on their findings so they could start the resurrection process.

   The resurrection protocols were briefly shut down when Rockslide was brought back from his death on Otherworld with his mind scrambled. It was concluded by The Quiet Council and X-Factor Investigations that mutants who die on Otherworld can't be brought back as themselves, but rather will be brought back as an amalgamation of all versions of themselves from every potential reality, effectively making them a new person. After Saturnyne's Ten of Swords tournament ended, resurrections were resumed.

   Although nominally subservient to the rules of the Quiet Council, the Five began to increasingly take matters into their own hands. When they found out Scout had been killed and her friends the Lost Club were trying to resurrect her behind their back, they agreed to do it themselves and wrote a letter to the Quiet Council asking them to repeal their law against resurrecting clones. Some time later they were given permission to resurrect Madelyne Pryor.

   They also agreed to help Magneto go behind the council's back and resurrect the Scarlet Witch, though she resurrected herself using the protocols through her own power before they could. They were also tricked by Mystique posing as Charles Xavier into resurrecting Destiny. In the course of Destiny's resurrection, Mystique taught Hope how to telepathically implant the backups of a mutant into their husk and gave her one of the Cerebro cradles, thus granting the Five near-full control over the resurrections. Following Magneto's resignation from the Quiet Council, Hope was encouraged by Exodus to seek the vacant seat. Hope interrupted a council meeting to all but demand a seat on the council on behalf of the Five, stating that the Five were integral to Krakoa and needed a seat on the council to make their voices heard. Hope was granted the seat, greatly increasing the Five's political power on the island.

   The X-Men are a group founded by Professor Charles Xavier as a response to the emergence of naturally occurring superhumans known as mutants among the baseline human society. Dedicated to promoting a dream of peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans, Xavier trained his X-Men in the use of their mutant powers at the Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, forging them into defenders of a world that hates and fears them. Over the years, the heroes of mutantkind found their mission constantly endangered by both reactionary humans and fanatic mutants.

   When Professor X, with the assistance of Magneto and Moira, established a mutant nation on Krakoa, the X-Men disbanded, as they were believed to no longer be needed. However, they ultimately reformed when Cyclops and Jean Grey gathered an army of mutants to rescue the Swordbearers of Krakoa during the Krakoa-Arakko War in Otherworld. After this event, Cyclops and Jean Grey decided to permanently recreate the team going as opposed to accepting positions on the Quiet Council of Krakoa, since they felt that Krakoa needed heroes working in their best interests, representing and fighting for mutantkind. To recreate the X-Men, they decided to call for elections. At the Hellfire Gala, Cyclops and Jean Grey announced the members of the Krakoan X-Men. Adopting a telepathic voting system, the new X-Men line-up elected by mutantkind, and led by the pair, was revealed to the world: Rogue, Sunfire, Wolverine, Synch and Polaris. Emma Frost purchased and ceded an estate in Central Park 86th Street Transverse to serve as the X-Men's new headquarters, which was redesigned as the Seneca Gardens public park to celebrate and remember mutant accomplishments and losses. In the middle of it, Krakoa, Forge, Tempo and Cypher created a techno-organic Treehouse as the main private base for the team to operate in. Unlike other Krakoan habitats, the Seneca Gardens area was open to humans. As the former Kingpin of crime and mayor of New York City Wilson Fisk ruled that independent costumed vigilantes should cease their operations, his Thunderbolts sieged Seneca Gardens. The X-Men resisted, leading to a brief conflict with the Thunderbolts. However, as an effect of legal actions carried out by Emma Frost and Krakoan Ambassador Harry Leland, the Treehouse officially became a consulate of Krakoa for the United Nations. One night, from the Treehouse, Jean Grey efficiently freed many New Yorkers, including the X-Men, from Nightmare, who had took advantage of Doctor Strange's demise to torment the dreams of many innocents. The new team intercepted and fought off two alien attacks: one by the Mind Reaver in Manhattan and the other by the Annihilation Wave in Kansas. After combating the High Evolutionary in Vietnam, the X-Men learned that the alien attacks were the work of the intergalactic crime-lord Cordyceps Jones, who had been running bets on who could destroy the Earth first on his casino, Gameworld. The attacks of both Cordyceps Jones and the High Evolutionary were a response to mutantkind terraforming Mars during the Hellfire Gala, rebuilding it as Planet Arakko. After Synch provided the High Evolutionary with a drop of his blood in exchange for calling off his attack, Cyclops and Jean Grey planned an attack on Gameworld. Rogue and her husband Gambit travelled to the gambling planet to investigate only to be met by Destiny, who alerted them the X-Men would find no answers there. However, Rogue's connections to Rocket ultimately led the X-Men to Gameworld. The X-Men defeated Cordyceps Jones, arresting him and saving trillions from death and slavery.

   The birth of Planet Arakko also enraged the human wealthy genius Feilong, who joined and started funding the anti-mutant organization known as Orchis, since he had invested his resources to terraform Mars and adapt his body to it but was outperformed by the mutant activities. After colonizing Phobos for Orchis, Feilong was welcomed by the X-Man Sunfire, who asked him to leave the Arakkii territory. Feilong refused and managed to consolidate his control, attracting the attention of Isca the Unbeaten of the Great Ring of Arakko. Later, by identifying a live subject held hostage on Phobos, the X-Men sent Wolverine to retrieve them. There, she located the prisoner Lady Deathstrike, but was found by Feilong. The X-Men were able to rescue both of them from the Orchis base.

   The X-Men also dealt with humans interested not only in Planet Arakko, but also in the Krakoan Resurrection Protocols, namely Daily Bugler reporter Ben Urich and a mad scientist associated with Orchis Doctor Stasis. With many well-known deceased mutants being seen alive and well, Urich approached and investigated the X-Men for explanations. In their activities, the X-Men went on missions all over the world to help fight criminals, such as preventing the Reavers from influencing Mexican politics. This attracted the attention of Doctor Stasis, who directly attacked the group with his bizarre chimeric creations. Doctor Stasis managed to assassinate Cyclops in a very public ordeal in one of his attacks, forcing Cyclops to adopt the identity of Captain Krakoa after being resurrected. This decision was made by the Quiet Council as a way not to reveal the secrets of the Krakoan resurrections, much to Cyclops' discontentment which disrupted the X-Men's relationship with the Quiet Council even further. Later, when secretly contacting Urich, Cyclops learned the reporter had his memories about his investigations erased. After the X-Men saved a cruising ship from being hijacked by M.O.D.O.K. and A.I.M., Cyclops learned that Synch was responsible for tampering with Urich's memories with the intention of protecting mutants. Cyclops and Synch directly hunted Doctor Stasis, eventually learning he was a version of Mister Sinister. Stasis fled and, following this encounter, Cyclops and Synch were prompted to reveal to Urich what had transpired. Mutantkind's status as a immortal species was publicly revealed. At the second Hellfire Gala, the truth about mutant resurrection escalated tensions not only between humans and mutants, but also between the X-Men and the Quiet Council of Krakoa. To ease such tensions, Cyclops shared with Frost the connection between Sinister and Stasis, asking for her support as the X-Men's enemies had been able to circle them. In retribution, Frost shared the Quiet Council's secret about Moira being involved with the creation of Krakoa and her betrayal after a schism with Xavier. During a new election, Cyclops, Jean Grey and Synch remained on the team. Firestar was recommended by Frost as a way to rekindle her ties with mutantkind. Forge was recommended by Cyclops, since he had been working on a secret project for the Quiet Council. As a consequence, Forge recommended Havok, in order to antagonize his brother Cyclops. To round up the group, Magik suggested herself, in search of new adventures. The previous X-Men maintained close ties with the team and carried out parallel adventures. For instance, Rogue was assigned to protect Manifold as a suggestion of Destiny, and Sunfire went to Otherworld to rescue the voice of Arakko, Redroot,

   Mutantkind's immortality sparked the ire of the Eternal prime Druig, who wished to destroy their Resurrection Protocols being backed by Moira. While humans backlashed at the X-Men for not having rights to be returned to life, the Eternals ravaged Krakoa. The X-Men resisted, being forced to fight the powerful Hex. The X-Men made Eternal allies who disagreed with Druig. However, following the Avengers' intervention, the Celestial Progenitor was revived and put Earth under cosmic trial. Within a day, judgment would take place, at the risk of the world's destruction. The X-Men unsuccessfully attempted to end the Progenitor. The X-Men kept preventing catastrophic events all over the world regardless, proving their worth.

   The X-Men then telepathically tampered with the Eternal Uni-Mind in order to elect the Avenger Starfox as the new Eternal Prime and defeat Druig politically. Starfox attempted to change the Progenitor's judgment, with no avail: Earth was sentenced to death.[1025] As Earth was ravaged by the Celestial, mutantkind joined forces with Avengers and Eternals to oppose the Celestial. They did the unimaginable by sharing the Resurrection Protocols with human heroes to resist the enemy and even asked for help with Moira and Orchis,[1027] who dealt with casualties and were seen as heroes to the public eye. Having been able to infiltrate the Celestial, Avengers, X-Men and Eternals communed with the Progenitor. They were able to convince it to sacrifice itself, relenting its power to Ajak. The destruction it had caused was reverted, saving the world. In the end, Jean Grey ran the Phoenix Foundation parallel to the X-Men to bring the gift of resurrection to those in need.

   Forge's secret agenda was revealed to the X-Men as Project Blackbox, a project designed to trap the Children of the Vault into a virtual reality. However, after identifying that Darwin was still trapped inside the Vault following a previous Krakoan mission into the Vault alongside Synch and Wolverine, the X-Men went to his rescue. As the X-Men covered him, Forge entered the Vault.[1029] He was followed by the Child Serafina, but convinced her to let him go as a test. Meanwhile, the X-Men battled Perro, who had been accidentally freed by a reckless Havok, but was soon put back in stasis. Due to his misconduct, Havok chose to resign. Instead of Darwin, Forge rescued the duplicate of Wolverine who had spent centuries of her life with Synch in the Vault. This aged version of Wolverine returned to the Treehouse with the X-Men, joining Synch and her young cloned version in a mission against vampires. After discussing matters with her duplicate the version of Wolverine who emerged from the Vault joined the team under the codename Talon.

   The first X-Men lineup of this era consisted of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, Synch, Wolverine (Laura Kinney), Sunfire, and Polaris. The second team was Cyclops, Jean, Magik, Iceman, Firestar, Forge, Havok and Synch.
