X-Force #3 – written by Geoffrey Thorne, with art by Marcus To – continues the trajectory away from Xavier’s long-time dominance over the franchise. So far, in the “From the Ashes” reboot era, various characters have explained Xavier’s dream “Death“and”broken“But this issue offers a more tangible take on the negative influence it has.

The era ended with him ashamed and embarrassed – not because he rejected his own moral teachings, but because he clung too tightly, too long past when it stopped to Be of use to him and his followers more than just like Xavier himself failed Mutantkin in the most critical hour, however. X-Force #3 Stresses that his teachings have long had a detrimental effect on his students.
