In the last decade, an incredible amount of new mutants have been added to the growing X-Men Franchise’s list. Throughout the now-concluded Krakoa Saga, not only did the mutant nation allow for a new generation of mutants to take the spotlight, but an entirely new world of mutants sealed off from Earth was revealed. With the growing number of new Marvel mutants, the balance of power has shifted in their favor.
Krakoa and Arakko were no longer options for the X-Men to call home, but their introduction permanently changed the scope of mutant development on a grand scale. In an infinite sea of ​​multiversal possibilities, there are bound to be mutants who would rather be compared to gods. It can be hard to keep track of the surge of mutants over the past decade, so we’re taking the trouble to bring readers up to speed, breaking down The most powerful X-Men and Marvel Mutants that have been created in the last ten years.

Rasputin IV
First appearance: Powers of X #1 By Jonathan Hickman and RB Silva
During the Krakoa saga, it was revealed that long-time human ally to the X-Men Moira MacTaggert was actually a mutant all along. Her base powers allow her nine incarnations, each of which she uses to influence potential futures to find a way to avoid the rise of Nimrod and total mutant extermination. In her ninth life, Moira’s actions led to the creation of new mutants born as chimera-mutants in Mister Sinister’s breeding pits. Rasputin IV is specifically enhanced with the powers of Colossus, Kid Omega, Unus the Untouchable, Kitty Pryde, Laura Kinneyand armed with Magik’s iconic soul sword.
In this reality, Rasputin IV was practically invincible, thanks to her metal skin, ability to generate forcefields, ability to become invisible, and a hyper-accelerated healing factor. At the end of the ninth version of the reality Moira had forged, the only thing capable of killing Rasputin IV was the supermassive force of a black hole.

Matthew Malloy
First appearance: Invisible X-Men #23 By Brian Michael Bendis and Kris Anka
In the alternate reality designated as Earth-14923, Matthew Malloy was the world’s most powerful mutant. Chaya described Matthew as “More than a character level mutant.” Professor X notes that Malloy was “the greatest mutant power source Cerebro has ever registered.” Malloy was an unnaturally powerful mutant with reality-warping abilities that put the Scarlet Witch to shame. Unfortunately, after watching his wife die in a Skrull invasion, Matthew’s powers revealed themselves for the first time and exploded out of control, twisting and warping reality with each surge of emotion.
SHIELD once attempted a tactical airstrike that successfully killed Matthew, Cyclops, and Magic, but Matthew used his powers to immediately revive himself. Ultimately, the only way Matthew was defeated was by the time-traveling mutant Tempus traveling back in time to ensure that Malloy would not be born.

Gabrielle Kinney (AKA Scout)
First appearance: All-New Wolverine #2 By Tom Taylor, David López, & David Navarrot
Gabby Kinney, aka Scout or Honey Badger, is a perfect clone of Laura Kinney, the modified clone of Wolverine. Like Laura, who Gabi considers to be like a sister, Gabi has an identical healing factor, superhuman senses, and retractable bone claws. In addition, Gabby is infected with nanites by Alchemax, giving the young mutant an insensitivity to pain at the cost of a constant lethal toxin that degrades her body similar to Wolverine’s adamantium.

Laura and Gabby lived, trained and worked together for years. The sisterly duo eventually moved to Krakow where Gabby finally met her relatives in the extended Wolverine family. Although she may be young and small, Honey Badger’s identical near-immortal status, in addition to being trained by her fellow Wolverines and her inability to feel pain, has made her a promising addition to lead the next generation of young mutants.

Firehair (AKA Lady Phoenix)
First appearance: Generations: The Unworthy Thor and the Mighty Thor #1 By Jason Aaron, Mahmud Asrar, & Esad Ribić
Also known as Lady Phoenix, Firehair is a powerful psychic and the first known host of the Phoenix Force, who lived around 1,000,000 BC.. When Firehair first allied with the Phoenix Force, she struggled to resist his violent temptations but ultimately avoided becoming a Dark Phoenix. Years later, Firehair recruited a younger Odin, Agamotto, the first Black Panther, a Ghost Rider, the first Iron Fist and a Starbrand to create the aptly named Avengers 1,000,000 BC.
The fire-hair and Odin became particularly close; While they never had children, after a newborn Thor was assassinated, Firehair brought the young god back to life and was recognized by both Gaea and Thor as his second mother. After her death, Firehair significantly influenced the famous Phoenix Force over the next million years. It is Firehair’s presence that has led to the cosmic deity preferring red-haired mutants from Earth as its avatars.

Xandra Neramani (AKA Xandra Xavier)
First appearance: Mr. and Mrs. X #1 By Kelly Thompson and Jan Bazaldua
Majestrix Xandra Neramani is a genetically engineered Shiar and mutant hybrid, Created after the death of Charles Xavier and the Shi’ar Empress, Majestrix Lilandra Neramani. Like her father, Xandra possesses extremely powerful psychic abilities that she can initially harness while still in her egg. Xandra can also manipulate the speed of a person’s neurology, in mutants causing a surge of power to their own natural abilities.
Thanks to this ability, Rogue was gifted full control over her powers, allowing her to have physical contact with others without risking draining their energy. In addition to her father’s enhanced telepathic powers, Xandra is also a frighteningly powerful psychokinetic, giving her a similar concussive blast skill to that of Cyclops. As Empress of the Shi’ar, she rarely gets involved in mutant politics, but after the Arakki mutants were transplanted to Mars, Xandra acted as a political ally to the mutant-led planet Arakko Prime.

Tarn the uncaring
First appearance: Hellions #6 By Zeb Wells and Carmen Carnero
One of the biggest additions to the X-Men franchise in the last decade was the introduction of Arakko. It was revealed during the Krakoa Saga that an ancient civilization of mutants from Earth was locked away in the demonic dimension known as Amenth, the home dimension of Annihilation. The society, now known as Arakko, included dozens of new and powerful mutants including Tarn the Uncarring.

Tarn is a mutant/daemon hybrid with the ability to psychically manipulate a person’s biology, allowing him to change the powers of a mutant, reverse aging and disfigure bodies.. Additionally, Tarn is a powerful sorcerer trained in the dark magic of Amenth, which he primarily uses to aid in his genetic experiments. Similar to Mr. S/Inster, Torn is a deeply curious geneticist whose moral boundaries are only ambiguously defined by his immediate goals.

Isca the Unbeaten
First appearance: X-Men #12 By Jonathan Hickman and Pepe Larraz
Another Arakki mutant, Isca the Unbeaten is an Omega-level mutant whose power makes it to where she can never lose. Isca is both Apocalypse’s sister and Torn’s wife; combined with her unjust power, Isca holds a strong position of authority in Arakko. Unlike a power like Domino’s, which brings bad luck to her opponents, Isca really can never be beaten.
Due to this, her power balance can increase significantly to match and surpass even the strongest opponents, omega-level mutants and gods. However, her abilities also have a significant sway over her own decision-making. If she happens to be on the losing side of a battle or war, Isca is forced to switch sides so that she can win the fight. Likewise, she may be forced to die in battle if death is the only way to achieve victory. Fortunately for Isca, she was granted a life of longevity, living for approximately 10,000 years.

Miranda
First appearance: X-Men: Worst X-Man Ever #3 By Max Bemis and Michael Walsh
Like Matthew Malloy, Miranda is a mutant from an alternate reality with the power to manipulate reality on a god-like scale. Although little is actually known about Miranda, it is known that She changed the story of her reality several times to adjust to her own taste. Her powers are on such a large scale that she can not only erase something or a person from existence, but she can also erase all memories of that thing or person.
Miranda is also gifted with fourth-wall-breaking awareness, knowing that she is a comic book character in our reality. She often uses this as the foundation to change the history of her world. Although she only appeared in a single series, if Miranda were to decide to travel outside of her reality, she could cause a significant amount of damage on a scale even greater than the Scarlet Witch.

Okkara (AKA Grove)
Debuted in Powers of X #4 By Jonathan Hickman and RB Silva
Okkara was the sentient mutant island progenitor to both Krakoa and Arakko before being sliced ​​in two by Annihilation in ancient times. Originally a threshold mutant named Grove, it once served as a guardian for thousands of mutants and humans nearly two billion years ago.. Over time, Okkara grew exponentially in size and power. 10,000 years before modern times, the second generation of mutants arose on Okkara led by Apocalypse and Genesis.
While Okkara was inevitably split in two, his powers of vegetative self-regeneration allowed both Krakoa and Arakko to thrive and regrow into full sentient islands themselves. Independently, Krakoa and Arakko have both survived centuries of wars and assaults from outside forces. Arakko specifically is now powerful enough to be integrated into Mars, becoming an entire planet over time.
6
Summoner
Debuted in X-Men #2 By Jonathan Hickman and Leinil Francis Yu
Technically an unnamed mutant, Summoner is an Araki and the grandson of Apocalypse. Summoner, like Torn, is well versed in Amentha’s dark magic, specializing in summoning spells. Unlike large swaths of Arakko, Summoner is purely and fiercely loyal to Arakko, rejecting Amenth’s “political” involvement with the mutant population. An expert liar and manipulator, Summoner was successful in drawing one over Apocalypse, allowing an Araki invasion of Krakoa.
As a mage he prefers to summon creatures of immeasurable strength, once invoking the presence of a massive Cthulhu-esque creature. As a mutant, Summoner is blessed with invulnerability and increased longevity, much like Apocalypse and his other immediate family members. Summoner’s primary weapon, a sword named Colony, has an amorphous quality that allows him to change its shape and size, sharing certain qualities and appearances to the famous all-black, the Necrosword.

The High Mutant Prophet Idyll
Debuted in X-Men #12 By Jonathan Hickman and Leinil Francis Yu
Raised alongside Summoner, Idyll is another Arakki Omega mutant. His powers allow him precognition sight, though his greatest vision was of Arakko’s fall to the demons of Ament. After his apocalyptic vision, Idil was blinded, leaving only his powers to guide his sight. Because of his Omega-level status, Idyll served on the Great Ring of Arakko, the mutant civilization’s governing power..
As with many of the Araki, Idyll also possesses enhanced longevity so far allowing him to live for close to 300 years. Outside of culture and appearance, Idyll is almost identical to Destiny, Mystique’s wife, and another blind mutant who uses precognition powers to see. While his fate after Arakko’s fall in Ament is unknown, the High Prophet most likely relied on his powers to survive the event.

Old Man Logan
First appearance: Old Man Logan #1 By Brian Michael Bendis and Andrea Sorrentino
Old Man Logan quickly became one of Marvel’s most beloved interpretations of Wolverine, and became an inspirational focal point for other media, such as the radio show Marvel’s WastelandersThe massively popular movie logan, And whose origin story inspired the Wolverine of Deadpool and Wolverine. In his original reality, Logan possessed identical powers and abilities to his Earth-616 counterpart and presumably lived an almost identical life until the modern era. His world was quickly overtaken by villains, initially instigated by an invasion of the X-Mansion, ultimately leading to Logan slaughtering the X-Men while under Mysterio’s illusions.
Over the next many decades, Logan abandons the title “Wolverine” and refuses to use his claws as he continues to dredge through the wasteland that has become Earth.. In 2509, Logan traveled to Earth-616 bringing the remnants of his broken world with him. However, the ancient mutant eventually returned to his original reality to help repopulate alongside the elder god Gaea.

Name, the shape-shifting queen
Debuted in Sword #8 By Al Ewing and Guiu Vilanova
An elemental level mutant and member of the Great Ring of Arakko, Nameless was once the champion expert and the representative of Arakko’s country, weather, the planet and its people. During times of relative peace for the mutant society, Nameless was chosen to serve as the civilization’s acting regent and “ruler.” Much of her ascension, before she was taken away by Storm, was largely due to her mutant abilities.
The naturally amorphous mutant has the power to adopt both the appearance and powers of another being. Somewhere between the power sets of Darwin and Rogue, Nameless is an incredibly adaptive mutant who possesses a powerful advantage over any opponent. While Nameless eventually lost her seat on the big ring in a strong match against Storm, she had the tenacity and dedication to her goal that she chose to take her own life in combat rather than give Storm a proper victory.
2
White sword
Debuted in X-Men #12 By Jonathan Hickman and Pepe Larraz
Originally known as Blue, White Sword is a dedicated warrior and central military figure to Okkara. Shortly after the Annihilation sliced ​​Okkara in half, White Sword led the first charge into Ament killing every demon in his path. While White Sword disappeared after his initial victories, it was discovered that he was living deep within Amenth continuing his crusade against Annihilation’s forces.
His continued successes over his opponents are almost entirely thanks to his mutant powers. White Sword is an Omega-level healer, blessed with immortality, self-healing, a profound resurrection power, and the ability to enthrall others into his army. The latter power helped him to create an almost immortal army of powerful warriors that he collected over time. Outside of his powers, White Sword is a master swordsman and nearly won the sword tournament contest for Arakko if he wasn’t more interested in gaining a new troll than winning the contest.

Take the bridge
Debuted in Legion of X #1 By Si Spurrier and Jan Bazaldua
The last new mutant and Omega-level Arakki on the list, Uqesh would be better suited to a god in his own right than a mutant. Incredibly reminiscent of Mimir in Norse mythology, Uqesh is just a head with no body. Despite his lack of physical form, which was not always the case, he possesses the divine ability to summon gods to him regardless of their will or will.
He primarily used his powers in times of war and conflict, and strengthened the army of Arakko with divinity. It is unknown how many gods he can summon at once, but during a time of Araki civil unrest he successfully conjured thirty gods at once. Unfortunately, he lost that battle and was sentenced to decapitation and life support, used as a tool by his successor to hunt down any gods among the Araki people.
