With their meteoric rise to nationhood, the mutants of Krakoa suddenly found themselves on the world stage. Now faced with new challenges, both political and economic, the mutant leadership is forced to do what they do best. Adapt. They’ve proven once and for all that while humankind has grown complacent, the mutants have not. They have been learning, and, it turns out, humanity has been their greatest teacher.When invited to a conference of the World Economic Forum in X-Men #4 (by Jonathan Hickman, Leinil Francis Yu, Gerry Alanguilan, Sunny Gho, Clayton Cowles and Tom Muller), Professor X, Magneto and Apocalypse make the trip to Davos, Switzerland, to discuss “How to Secure and Maintain a Cohesive and Sustainable World.” Taking place only one month after the existence of Krakoa was revealed to the wider world, the mutant leadership meets over a meal with human political, academic, and economic representatives from around the globe. Despite an attempted attack orchestrated by the U.S. Ambassador, the mutants put forward their vision of a new world. When a fellow delegate suggests that the mutants’ actions will lead to war, Magneto shuts her down, explaining that they have learned from humanity how to take control without ever raising a sword.From their earliest days, mutants have risen above humankind in terms of raw power. With few exceptions, they demonstrated abilities far beyond anything replicable by human physiology. But despite this, humanity has dominated the world for millennia. While lacking metahuman powers, humankind has mastered the use of soft power to achieve its goals. Hard power is the ability to coerce others into behaving through military strength or economic sanctions. However, soft power is about persuasion through commercial or cultural influence. Skilled warriors, social cohesion, cultural influence, and economic pressure have been mankind’s sharpest weapons since long before the birth of Apocalypse, some 5000 years ago.RELATED: A Classic X-Man Still Has Hope for Beast – But He’s WrongRELATED: X-Men: A World-Ending Mutant Team Might be Back on the Board
