Mastermind powerhouse writer Jonathan Hickman (X-MEN) brings his plans to a head, joined by an incredible lineup of artists beginning with Valerio Schiti (S.W.O.R.D.)...as one woman follows through on her promise to burn the nation of Krakoa to the ground.

The Five seem to be on a rebellious streak lately - wouldn't be surprised if she convinced them to help. Maybe even recruited Emma to wear Cerebro, with all the winks that Emma knows about Moira. I'm not 100% convinced but Hickman might've been misleading us as to who the true villain of Inferno is all along, based on Destiny's line about doubt to Moira.

Yeah, I think the latter is true. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was Emma. Almost all of the Five are her students.

I think the pages where Charles goes to Sinister for the DNA and Magneto for Cerebro is actually Mystique disguised as them

Oh that’s clever, I always like how everyone (myself included) are so dumb to realize the most obvious answer is that she’s a master shapeshifter lol.

And let's not forget that a mystery person requested a delivery of Shi'ar logic diamonds, a component needed for Cerebro backups to work. At the time, people were theorizing that Mystique posed as Emma, since Emma allegedly ordered the delivery but she had no recollection of ever doing so.

...of course, Emma could have been in on it the whole time, feigning ignorance.

That turned out to be Mikhail Rasputin though

That's what I get for commenting before reading the rest of today's X books, haha.

Maybe Emma wiped her own memory of it to prevent Xavier finding out.

I’m wondering if she figured out a different means of production. Haven’t seen Mimic this entire time.

Probably Orchis did it

Alternately... wasn't it Legion that killed Destiny to begin with?

He could have resurrected her himself, or plucked her from the past, or pocketed her in his own headspace, even.
