I’ve been putting some thought into the event that caused a conflict between Mutants and Inhumans that will occur in the eight months from the end of Secret Wars and the start of the all new Marvel Universe.
After reading the following November solicitation for All New X-men “Hated and feared more than ever, the world is a dangerous place for mutants. As the few remaining X-MEN retreat into seclusion”. I came up with the following theory:
Event: The Destruction of Attilan and the release of the Terrigen Mist Cloud
The event releases the cloud which continually circles the globe activating the dormant inhuman gene within the world’s populace.
Effect on Homo Superior aka Mutants
On first examination the Terrigen Cloud has little to no effect on current active mutants. However, after repeated exposures it becomes evident the cloud has some unforeseen side effects, primarily that it suppresses the mutant gene in inactive mutants or humans that have not yet come into their mutant gifts in effect keeping their powers turned off. Which results in:
Conflict: Current active mutants spearheaded by the X-Men attempts to neutralize the clouds effects on potential mutants which brings them into direct conflict with the Inhuman society.
Mutants lose the conflict to the Inhumans with the following results:
1. Current mutant population growth becomes stagnant rivaling the effects of M-Day
2. After failing with a radical solution to the Terrigen Mist current active Mutants are forced to retreat underground while being pursed and persecuted by the Human and Inhuman population. The Inhumans of course want to make sure they don’t try anything else.
3. Mutant scientist Hank McCoy joins the Inhumans (willing or maybe unwillingly) in an attempt to alter the cloud to prevent the mutant gene suppression effect while not altering its basic effects on potential Inhumans.
