So they are pretty much admitting that the X-Men and probably all of the marvel characters that the Legacy fans knew were Quite literally killed off a wild back and this is a completely different set of characters for a new audience...if you are going to make a completely new set of characters, why not retire (as in stop having stories take place in NOT completely blow up or erasing from reality) Earth-616 and create a new universe to tell marvel stories from (The multiverse is supposed to be infinite so pick an earth any earth) or just make a new IP all-together?
Warning: spoilers for X-Men #18 ahead!The X-Men's Resurrection Protocols have shaken up the status quo of the Marvel universe, but this apparent 'cure' for death comes with a dark secret: one Laura Kinney's Wolverine is now being forced to grapple with. While the Protocols create new versions of any given mutant, this is essentially down to a process of duplication, not true resurrection. This has disturbing consequences for the X-Men, as well as all in the Marvel universe who want to use the Protocols to escape death.
The complications began in Jonathan Hickman, R.B. Silva, Marte Gracia, and Clayton Cowles' X-Men #5, when Laura, Synch, and Darwin were sent inside the Vault: a temporally separate biome used by the lethal Children of the Vault to rapidly out-evolve mutantkind. Ultimately, Synch escaped, but Laura stayed behind and was believed to have been killed, so she was promptly resurrected using copies of her personality taken before the mission. Fast-forward to Gerry Duggan, Joshua Cassara, and Cowles' X-Men #16, where another raid into the Vault reveals that Laura, while aged hundreds of years, has been alive this whole time.
Duggan, C.F. Villa, Matt Milla, and Cowles' X-Men #18 largely concerns itself with the ramifications of having two extant Laura Kinneys at the same time. The old and young Lauras meet up to discuss just what that means: for example, who gets the title of Wolverine? Which of their personalities will be used for future resurrection should one of them die? Ultimately, the two part with a mutual understanding, but with the older Laura telling her counterpart that, "I'm happy you get to live a different life, and this isn't personal...but I don't want to be your friend...I don't even want to see you."
So they are pretty much admitting that the X-Men and probably all of the marvel characters that the Legacy fans knew were Quite literally killed off a wild back and this is a completely different set of characters for a new audience...if you are going to make a completely new set of characters, why not retire (as in stop having stories take place in NOT completely blow up or erasing from reality) Earth-616 and create a new universe to tell marvel stories from (The multiverse is supposed to be infinite so pick an earth any earth) or just make a new IP all-together?
