And with ALL of that out of the way, I wanted to end this thread on our missing Messiah set to be sat at the Xupper's center.

For years, we were promised that Hope Summers was the Mutant Messiah... what a curious bird on the seat where that Messiah would sit.

Let's fucking go.

...a new Queen might raise to take a seat among the rest of the Council.

Last, and the one I've been most anxious to cover, naturally, is the White Queen herself, Emma Frost, sitting in the seat occupied by "the other James" at the Last Supper, James the Greater.

But what is...

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!).

And in hopes of avoiding dealing with whatever it means that Emma is seated as James the Greater, I'll start with whatever roles our acclaimed X-Men are doomed to play!

Piotr, the newest...

The last thing to touch on over on this side of the table–especially given Jude/Raven's warning against heretics–is well... hints of a blind Cyclops.

Early in the Krakoan age, Scott's literal vision was used as metaphor for Charles... "vision". What could it mean that Raven...

...even a book about it.

Mystique in the role of Jude is also an interesting one, as he's often assumed the author of the Letter of Jude whose words warned of... blasphemous heretics.

Nope. Can't imagine who that's about.

Charles as Matthew is less, exciting, but of note...

While the nature of the word "zealot" as honorific here is debated, and may just point to general religious zeal, another interpretation considers that Simon may have previously belonged to the "fourth sect" of 1st-century Jews known as the Zealots, driven...
