The next All-New, All-Different Captain Krakoa could be hiding in plain sight

Tucked among Marvel's most recent spate of news about its 2023 Free Comic Book Day titles was the announcement that the publisher's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:X-Men/Avengers FCBD special would include the next appearance of Captain Krakoa, the identity on𒆙ce used by Scott Summers as an alternate superhe♍ro persona from his usual Cyclops designation.

Su🧔mmers took up the mantle of Captain Krakoa for a few months to hide the secret of mutant resurrection from the public when he died in battle with numerous civilian witnesses. He returned to the X-Men as Captainꩲ Krakoa, using a suit that harnessed the power of the mutant island of Krakoa's special flora to become the so-called national hero of Krakoa, sorta like their version of Captain America.

It's not confirmed that a new character will take up the mantle of Captain Krakoa in May 6's X-Men/Avengers Free Comic Book Day one-shot, but the im♑plication seems to be that the Captain Krakoa🧸 identity will live on after Cyclops' use of the name and costume. 

Considering the other implication of the description of the contents of the one-shot, which hints at a new iteration of the Uncanny Avengers (if not the Unc💙anny X-Men), there seems to be a likelihood that a new Captain Krakoa could be part of whichever "uncanny" team takes shape.

And if that's the case, there may be a likely candidate to take up the mantle of Captain Krakoa (a la Clint Barton's one-time identity of Ronin which has changed hanꦜds several times) hiding in plain sight.

Assuming the depiction of Captain Krakoa on the cover of the one-shot is accurate to the depiction inside, there coul꧋d be a chance that the next mutant to become Captain Krakoa might be Magneto.

The last time we saw Magneto, he gave his life to save Planet Arakko/Mars in the recent AXE: Judgment Day event story - with the added twist of having deleted the geneti൲c records and ps🥂ychic back-ups necessary to resurrect him in the event of his death.

Despite the apparent difficulties in bringing Magneto back along with his wishes to remain dead, there may be something to the Captain Krakoa identity's previous us🦄e in concea𝔉ling the now publicly known power of mutant resurrection that hints at how Captain Krakoa may return.

We'l🎶l find out෴ in May 6's X-Men/Avengers: Free Comic Book Day one-shot.
