AND AT LAST, our Final Xupper arrives in the heart of Hellfire, where our final three councilmembers assume the seats of Thomas, Phillip, and James the Greater.

Shaw stands, with hand raised in opposition to the fervent-apostle-Exodus-as-John, in the role of Thomas: the one...

...confuse you–some characterize it as a means of distinguishing him from James the Greater (which, sick burn at Emma, if true, Ororo!).

While hilariously the OTHER James was called the "Son of Thunder", there is some speculation and reference to James as "Brother of Jesus"...

...the more errr... concerning element of Bartholomew's story is the nature of his martyrdom. Following his conversion of an Armenian king to Christianity, he was martyred... by having his skin flayed from his body.

For a mutant whose gift involves his skin... this is really...

...representative of the Quiet Council is seated as the Apostle Bartholomew.

Curiously... Bartholomew might be most famous for two things: skin and metal statues. Yes. Exactly.

The metal statues are attributed to miracles done by the apostle (anti-fascist miracles, no less)...

Irene seems a productive place to start, so let's talk about Simon, oft known as "Simon the Zealot".

...homage is his casting as the apostle John, who became something of a prophet (in so far as he wrote the largely metaphorical Revelations) following the Resurrection and baptized many into the faith left behind in Christ's wake.

Which just feels very fucking Bennet du Paris.

...mutants in light of their new status quo and mastery of Death. Lots to think about there.

Elsewhere, Sinister is Judas. Shocking stuff there. Notably, what's important here is that Christ KNEW Judas would betray.

It wasn't a surprise when Iscariot betrayed him. While I...

...or for worse, it's been retconned that Erik's mutant abilities came into being during the Holocaust.

Peter's other known trait–that he was the first to accept the divinity of Christ–tracks here. In the face of Death, Erik transcended. He became a new god.
