Mutants & Celestials: What's the Connection? | Krakin' Krakoa
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 сен 2022
- As the Celestials role expands in the MCU and Marvel's current Judgement Day event, it's an interesting time to consider how they've connected to mutants and the X-Men, and what those connections tell us about stories to come.
The Celestials are one of Jack Kirby's most fascinating contributions to the Marvel Universe (and it's a long list!). The enigmatic alien space gods - more modular robot than Greco-Roman deity - entered relatively late in Marvel's Bronze Age as part of Kirby's Eternals, but have subsequently been integrated heavily into the fabric and foundations of all of Marvel's shared universe.
+ Did the Celestials create mutants? Why does it matter?
+ Are any mutants closely connected to the Celestials?
And more!

Nice little Sunday surprise drop
Thank you for referencing the X-Factor story! It was where I started reading X-Factor and confused the snot out of me as a kid. (Thank you for ALSO mentioning "Ship"!!)
lets goooo krakin krakoa back bay-bee!!!!
Awesome historical dive
one of the things i was hoping marvel would do more of is stories of the kree and skrull eternals. possibly some kree deviants or do they even exist?
Skrull deviants exists. There the current species of the Skrull empire. Apparently they won the war against the skrull eternals. I have not heard anything about the kree deviants but I knw a few of the kree eternals. I don't think the shiar has any
What a krakin’ surprise! Thanks!
death seeds were actually referenced in Powers of X, Cardinal having taken one to overpower his pacifist programing
Great video!
wow didn't they use that panel at 14:07 as the effect to display the demon in Sandman recently?
I remember 2 other connections between mutants & Celestials.
I forget which issues, but in Uncanny X-Men there was a story where X-Men first discover a group of mutants within the Skrull race. I think this story is where they discover that Celestials would go to various worlds early and make three different groups= deviants, eternals and one smaller group that had the potential of mutation. First two would go and make their own civilizations outside the main race that spawned them, while the later would rejoin the main race to 'seed' it for change.
There is one story I hope we see that it has some ramifactions in current Judgement Day ... but I'm not holding my breath on it. there was a time a handful (or perhaps 2 handfuls) of mutants were exposed to one certain Celestial object that changes one to their cosmic potential. I'm speaking of the Black Vortex. Most mutants changed by it, later on rejected the powers and was "returned to almost normal". I say almost because this object was said to be able to change the person somehow in a more permament way even after rejecting the power. This change could be mental or some aspect of physical.
Young Jean mentions this when she says that Young Cyclops has something changed mentally, yes that was after he no longer had the Celestial power-up.
At end of this story arc, only two mutants still had the Celestial power-up=
Young Angel= who had energy wing
Kate (still Kitty back then) Pryde= whose cosmic level power allowed her to transend the multiverse and gave her a more ethereal form.
we saw Young Angel with energy wings several times after this. I'm not sure if the power faded away as it did with Gamora, or he still had them when the young X-Men went back to their time.
Kitty was never shown with this pwoer again and no reason was given. Fans just assumed it faded away despite the comics never saying that, but then comics never mentioned her having cosmic level powers again.
What is interesting about Kate, beyond being the last person to use it, though is something Gara (the first being to ever use the Black Vortex) says= Despite the Black Vortex existing for 12 billion years, and countless beings using it, Kate is first person to use it that stayed pure, she didn't loose herself to the power and go on a power-trip.
It's pretty criminal that Apocalypse hasn't appeared in AXE. He's just about the most powerful mutant, immortal, has history with the Celestials and Eternals, AND he currently is chilling with his family and a near-infinite demon army, but no one even tries to suggest contacting him.
I loved Cable/Deadpool, but the Apocalypse stuff makes absolutely no sense.
Glad you mentioned the 2 issue Hulk arc, those are absolutely amazing.
I love krakin’krakoa
They made a really good adaptation for ship in the old xmen animated series....it was a really good episode where beast developed feelings for ship
Thanks
14:48 The same way an event involving Mystique and Destiny didn’t involve Rogue lol (yeah, I know she was initially supposed to be involved, but just saying)
i don't think we're going to see Hulk at all in AXE Judgment Day, he's on bad terms with all the heroes and SPOILERS FOR HULK VS THOR SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS Hulk vs Thor ended with Thor telling the other avengers that Hulk was dead and Hulk flew away to distant space
Don't be surprised if Apocalypse isn't even mentioned and everything in this video is completely ignored and spat on in A.X.E., because Kieron Gillan.
Well genetic mutation was the 3rd experiment frm the celestials
Although the less said about Remender's Apocalypse stories the better.
Really? I haven’t read them but I thought they were well received.
@@sheltondaal6425 yeah, largely well received, all you have to do is not care about continuity.
Aye! Good lookin out. I was just rereading some of this while bagging 💾 I’m always bored and out of good videos by sunday😅
Great video!!
