one thing I'm mad about vis a vis the krakoan era is the fact that it only remains implicit that moira's deadly genesis team were, in hindsight, a sort of proto-Five focused around the creation of a mutant state prior to having Krakoa itself on the board.
Like,
proteus was always going to be in her back pocket, trapped as he was. he's the only one to make it to the actual Five, in part because he was never a part of the initial team-building with the others. he's a reality warper and energy vampire, and if I'm not mistaken, omega-level as well.
petra is a geomorph who can generate diamonds with her powers; prior to the entry of krakoa and its flowers into the plan, she could've been absolutely pivotal to the physical and economic stability of a mutant state.
sway is a time manipulator who can replay things she has witnessed. she would be in the role of eva bell, if resurrection was on the table, and/or she could serve as an "objective" observer in a justice or surveillance system.
darwin is evolution itself; his powers appear to have no upper bound, though he is not "officially" classified as an omega-level mutant. I believe he would be a primarily political agent, as a symbol of the nation, given that he is a visible mutant who cannot be killed, but I also believe that his survival powers could perhaps be pushed, maybe with proteus or gabriel in a circuit with him, to create life.
vulcan is an omega level energy blaster with a deep wellspring of rage directed at the shi'ar empire, AND he's the lost summers brother. aware as Moira would likely have been of this, she would have seen the purpose of that blood tie between her team and charles' — the X-Men would have been less likely to cross her team if it holds a member of the summers family.
I also believe that Moira was planning from the beginning to hedge her bets — and this team is perfect for that, too, given that four of them would always be primarily loyal to her, the mother figure who pulled them from the gutters of grief, oppression, poverty, and self-loathing and gave them a new family.
a circuit between these five mutants might be just as potent at terraforming as the Twelve were — Gabriel providing the raw energetic reactions you'd find at the dawn of spacetime, the star at the center of the circuit, Petra giving it physical form and stability and blessing it with untold physical wealth and elemental resources, Suzanne giving it the time it needs to grow, and Proteus and/or Darwin giving it life.
imagine the devotion a populace might give the beings that created their home out of nothing. Imagine, in turn, the loyalty they'd pay to their dear mother.
and Moira, even, familiar as she is with the narrative of the history of mutantkind, would likely have been planning for that, too — by withholding her son from the others at first, she creates a divide that will make it psychologically easier for the rest of the team to sacrifice him for the cause, if he cannot be brought to heel, or if he threatens her all-important life. the tragedy of mutant x is a narrative you can build sainthood or demonization around, and countries and communities need their foundational myths, don't they?
I think it's a devilishly elegant plan, on her part, to find mutants who need her, mutants who can't clean up as well for the cameras or the judgment of a bigoted america as charles' beautiful lily-white teenagers do, and turn them into her own personal nation-building engine.
I also wonder deeply about the Destiny of it all — is sway on the team because, as a time-manipulator, she could move directly against the prophecies of Irene Adler in a way the others can't?
At what point does Moira choose to fully betray the cause? Is it maybe at the moment that her carefully-laid plans and carefully-chosen teenagers are torn out from under her? Did she, in her way, truly love them, like Charles, for all his foibles, loved his original five X-Men?
I don't think I'll ever know for sure, and it deeply rankles at me that it's so.

Finally got a name for the new X-23 villain….Haymaker, Jordan Gastin!
Truthfully I would have rather had the Hooded Woman return… I am kind of tired of Kimura drama at this point and I have a feeling this character will probably be similar to “X24” from the Logan film or the male clones featured in “Orphan Black”…
I do wonder if *they has some sort of connection to Julian… since the suit LOOKS like Hellion’s color scheme and the Facility already made “Predator X” from Cessily…so why not make a clone of Julian? Also…the idea of Julian essentially getting a “Madelyn Pryor” is just too HYSTERICAL to pass up for me 😂🤣🤣🤣
I would actually LOVE it if Haymaker is connected to Kimura’s backstory- the bit about Kimura’s grandmother was always interesting in NXM and I always wished KYOST had tried to flesh her out more as a character… (I always thought it would have been interesting if Kimura worked as a handler for the facility because she had been protecting her grandmother…)…but I don’t know if Schultz will dig too much into Kimura’s origin story…
Overall I am kind of “meh” on the first look at the new villain…but maybe Schultz will change my mind!
Edit- *it appears Jordan is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, my mistake!

Pero todas aquellas palabras y aquellos desprecios no hicieron mella en él. No era como otros que agachaban la cabeza como reacción primaria, acostumbrados a ser apaleados. Eso no era habitual y la desconcertaba. En lugar de sentirse intimidado como otros hacían, era indiferente y fue él quien logró adentrarse y retorcer los sentimientos de la Slytherin.
Tenía parte de razón, mas no absoluta. Aun así, en las partes que acertaba, era como sentir un puñal removiendo sus entrañas, echándole sal a las heridas que trataba de ocultar. Pero no se iba a dejar amedrentar.
—No me conoces lo más mínimo, Scott. —Replicó, aproximándose hasta casi quedar pegada al muro. Su mirada recorrió su rostro antes de clavarla sobre la contraria una vez más. Podía oler el toque mentolado en su aliento provisto por aquel cigarrillo. —¿Crees que esto es solo fachada para ocultar debilidades? Ya era así antes de esas cicatrices. —No fue una niña malcriada a la que no habían sabido decirle que no. Era parte de su naturaleza desde que era capaz de articular palabra. No le gustaban las negativas, y las más importantes no hicieron más que agravar el problema. Pero, de nuevo, Blaine no la conocía.
—Ni siquiera sabes mi nombre y crees que por cinco minutos hablando puedes ver... ¿qué, lo más profundo de mi alma y mis heridas? Tsk... —Chasqueó la lengua con cierta irritación. Se elevó un poco en el aire y cruzó el muro de la grada, para finalmente desmontar frente al muchacho, apoyando la escoba contra su hombro. Le había puesto de mal humor y se le habían quitado las ganas de volar.
Se aproximó a su oído, teniendo especial cuidado en que no hubiera el más mínimo contacto físico, ni el más leve de los roces más allá del hálito expelido al hablar, bajando la voz. —Más quisieras que temblara por ti, que deseara que me tocaras. Vas a soñar conmigo y con ese momento que no llegará a suceder jamás. —Se alejó tan pronto como terminó de decir aquellas palabras y dio varios pasos atrás antes de girar y dirigirse hacia las escaleras. Que se quedara con las gradas y con el estadio. Había ganado aquella batalla, pero no la guerra. Ahora Kendra deseaba con todas sus ganas que sus palabras se hicieran realidad, que la pensara hasta el punto en que no estar cerca de ella fuera inconcebible.

Perfect goodness, as an absolute state, is not achievable; to be alive requires participation in some harm—after all, we must kill plants and animals to sustain life. We are not pawns in a battle between the dark and the light.

So what is The Deadly Seven's one true goal? Do they have something specific in mind or do they simply want to watch the merged universe burn?
It's honestly hard to say what they all truly want because they all have various different goals that don't always align with one another but they still stick together no matter what.
Maybe it's because they've grown used to one another and would go insane if they didn't have someone to talk to? Or maybe it's because of something else? Nobody knows for certain...
What is certain though is Entropy's only true goal in life is to simply cause as much havoc and destruction as possible and simply watch "Everything" burn to the ground...With this team of his, he'll be able to do it tenfold...
Entropy: This chaos is what truly keeps me alive~...Havoc like this is what this dull world needs after so many years of deafening silence....Violence is a necessity that all living beings always secretly strive for until the very bitter end...Eventually...All shall fall to Entropy~!
