THE THREE LAWS OF KRAKOA*
*with interpretive annotations for Legionary guidance. [K. Wagner__]

+
MAKE MORE MUTANTS
* We cannot and must not enforce a doctrine of compulsory reproduction.
* The FIVE are resurrecting dead mutants on an industrial scale -- rigthing the genocides of the past. With the benefit of thought and counsel, I belive the most intelligent application of this law is to leave them to it.

+
MURDER NO MAN

* Or woman, or any other. Obviously.
* This law is necessarily reductive to cover a broad base. Politically, it prevents us from provoking non-mutant actors. Morally, it prevents us from sinking to their level.
* I prefer to take a broad ethica interpretation: Kill no one who lacks recourse to resurrection. (And even if they do? Try not to. Looking at you, Doctor Nemesis.)
* When a killing is suspected, we must examine intent before we condemn.
* We must see to it that death does not lose meaning, les life folow suit.

+
RESPECT THIS SACRED LAND

* The Sacred Land is not a place. The Sacred Land is a polity.
* The Scated Land is mutantkind.
* To diminish or harm any mutant without consent -- in body or mind -- is to disrespect this Sacred Land.
* In allmatters -- emotional, physical, sexual and spiritual -- as long as choice and consent are present: Anything goes.

+
THE SPARK

* try.
* new.
* things.

Data page from X-Men: The Onslaught Revelation written by Si Spurrior. It is an exerpt from "The Book of the Spark" First Florilegium, Defintions and Abstractions, 1:1-7. It says:

This is not a mutant religion.

This is a way of living. Of loving and expressing and fighting and being. It movs us to adapt without restraint. It does not require prayer not veneration. It does not demand that you put away your old gods. The spark is not jealous.

The spark is innovation and risk and mischief and courage.

If we allow it to guide us -- if we invite it to inspire our thoughts and actions -- I truly believe it will save us. The spark is anathema to meaninglessness.

The spark is creative. The spark is patient. The spark is bright and beuatiful, despite having no form or mind. In truth, the spark is barely real at all. The spark is just an idea.

And yet?

The spark will burn to ask anyone who *CENSORED* with the right of mutants to pursue happiness.

Comic art from Batman (2025)#1 apparently showing crossdressing me attackking two women with scissors saying, among other thing "Be a lot sexier if you smiled."

Highlighted text wriiten by Ritesh Babu saying: "Even Kieron Gillen/Caspar Wijngaard’s The Power Fantasy which I was once excited for (I’m an optimistic fool) has effectively turned out to be their version of that. Their Astro City, their Black Hammer, their Invincible, effectively. Just, y’know, with X-Men instead of the usual JLA/Superman/Spider-Man/Batman. This is effectively Gillen doing his purest, truest ‘Image’ title in the ’90s vein."

Interview from The Reeder where Tom King says: I got there in February 2004. We invaded March ’03, so this is about a year after that,” King recalled. “When I got there we were winning the war, and by the time I left we were losing it. So much of the Iraq War was bullshitting. Saddam was bullshitting us about having weapons and we were bullshitting him about being able to take him out easy. The government was bullshitting the people about what it would be like and the people were bullshitting the government. Everyone was lying to each other, and then that’s what the whole series is about.”

Legendary Creature- Human Artificer [mythic rare]

Equipped creatures your opponents control are goaded. (They attack each combat if able and attack a player other than you if able.)
Whenever an Equipment enters under your control, you may attach it to target creature you don’t control. (You still control that Equipment.)
4{U/R}: For each creature you control, attach up to one Equipment you control to it.

The continuing Israeli occupation, even after the Oslo agreements, was the
underlying cause of the second intifada. Palestinians had thought that the 1993
Oslo agreement would lead to better lives, greater freedoms, the end of Israeli
control, and, at the end of five years (1998), Palestinian statehood. Oslo was
thought to mean the end of Israeli occupation and the start of Palestinian self-
determination. When such changes failed to materialize and, in many ways, the
situation on the ground worsened in the mid and late 1990s, many Palestinians
started to believe that the diplomatic process was a dead end and renewed con-
frontation was the only alternative. This dynamic explains much of the popular
support for the second intifada.

1. Caption says "And now, a lesson in power creep by the X-Men's favorite cunning liguist, Doug Ramsey! Doug says, "My super power is talking!"
2. Caption says, "First, have a basic premise for the power." Doug and his teammate, Dani, a Tsétsêhéstaestse woman, are hiding from a Sentinel, a giant robot. Doug say's "Nein Nee No Non Niyet Nai." Dani says "NOT HELPING, DOUG!"
3. Caption says "Start having the character use it creatively." Doug and Dani are fighting enemies. Doug is performing well. Doug says, "I speak body language, which is why I can fight so well." Dani says "That's...plausible."
4. Caption says, "Begin to stretch credibility." Doug and Dani stand in a city. Doug says, "The city is telling me where the bombs are planted!" Dani says, "Is that really a thing now? REALLY?"
5. Caption says "Overdo it." Doug is floating. A halo of energy comes from his brain. The text in his speech bubble is in a fancier typeset. Doug says, "I have learned the language of the universe. I speak and reality listens." Dani turns away from Doug and says, "Okay, Doug, that's enough."

The third-party primary was hard-fought, with a crowded field of newly empowered independents—including myself, then the token Marxist, though out of a bizarre sense of sportsmanship I voted for Zohran. The Mamdani–Smith ticket prevailed by just one vote, against second-place finisher, fifth grader Serena Kerrigan. Now a social media influencer, Serena was just 10 at the time, but that experience was “seared” into her memory (so much so that she posted about it on Instagram recently). The simulation had, at this point, created subterfuge—Serena, speaking to me over the phone this week, recalled a rumor that the eighth graders were in fact trying to push voters her way because they feared the prospect of facing Zohran in the general.

And they were right to. Zohran adopted a cow as his independent party mascot, leaning into the fact that, for tweenage reasons now lost to time, “cows were a meme in our grade,” my classmate Ema O’Connor reminded me.

“He also successfully straddled the two social groups at the school, the more jock types and the freaks,” Ema said. The cow created a graphic identity to contrast with the GOP’s elephant and the Democrats’ donkey—and became the basis for witty electioneering. Posters that played on the “Got Milk?” ad campaign plastered the bulletin boards in the hallway; after Zohran secured the endorsement of NOW (played in the simulation by Ema), the slogan graduated to “I Want a COW Right NOW!”

The aim is to open up the GOP nomination — and the nearly 30% of the vote someone"
