Are The X-Men The Villains Of The Dawn of X? | Krakin' Krakoa #68

Through House of X / Powers of X, the establishing of Krakoa as a sovereign mutant nation, and now one year into the Dawn of X the question has persisted: Are the X-Men villains now?

Even during the promotional build to Jonathan Hickman’s takeover as the “Head of X,” there was theorizing that Charles Xavier - if that even was our once and future Professor X, adorned in his Maker-esque Cerebro helmet at all times - and the X-Men would be taking on a more sinister, antagonistic role in the Marvel Universe.

I see this thinking and question pop up with virtually every new episode of Krakin’ Krakoa and given the persistence - and the degree to which this progression clearly bothers some readers - I think it’s worth laying out the case for why readers would think this, and why I ultimately mostly disagree with the assertion.
