In yesterday's
X-Men #1, we learned that the Summers family now live on the moon thanks to the amazing abilities of Krakoa. However, a rather baffling reveal is that Wolverine actually
lives with them, and
Bleeding Cool has spotted something that's bound to get comic book fans talking.
In the enclosed floor plan, we see that Cyclops and Jean Grey have separate living quarters. However, Marvel Girl's room is directly in between his and Wolverine's and unlike all the other rooms, hers has a door into both Scott and Logan's.
This also ties back into those "Sinister Secrets" from
House of X and
Powers of X in which it was said,
"He’s the best there is at what he does. She’s married with a kid. The husband knows exactly what’s going on, but who is he to point the finger? He’s up to much the same, and more. Maybe this is just the new normal on the mutant island."
In other words, it appears as if Cyclops and Marvel Girl now have an open relationship, which was also hinted at near the end of
House of X #6. There, Krakoa's mutants had a huge party and Scott, Logan, Jean, and Emma Frost all shared some beers. This foursome have always had a complicated romantic history, and it now seems they're all having their cake and eating it.
So, hooray for free love on Krakoa?
Whether this is something Jonathan Hickman chooses to explore remains to be seen, but the introduction of this mutant nation certainly seems to have changed a lot for our favourite X-Men...
