    I think there’s going to be a degree of events from the last few years that will click into place the more of Krakoan Xavier’s work is revealed.

That makes him the furthest back resurrection we know of so far I think.

    Again, while it’s got a superficial explanation, it’s part of the whole atmosphere of unease I think Hickman’s deliberately creating.
