Debuting in the Silver Age alongside other landmark titles like Amazing Spider-Man and Fantastic Four, the X-Men took a while to truly reach their potential. Following the success of Giant-Size X-Men #1, the team shot to the forefront of the Marvel Universe and has frequently been some of the franchise’s most compelling and successful figures. But now, a new contender for GOAT status within the franchise is coming to an end — and deserves to be celebrated before it ends.The Krakoa Era has been a wonderful showcase of everything that makes the X-Men so compelling and entertaining. With this period for the X-Men concluding with Fall of the House of X and Rise of the Powers of X, it’s worth looking back and considering the importance of the Krakoa Era in bringing the X-Men back to the forefront of Marvel Comics. Highlighting a massive variety of characters, genres, and themes that work within the team’s corner of the universe, the Krakoa Era has set the stage for the mutant heroes to return to their rightful place at the forefront of the Marvel Universe.For years, it appeared the X-Men would continue to be sidelined in the Marvel Universe, with stories like Inhumanity positioning the Inhumans as a potential mainstream replacement for the team. The team became trapped in a cyclical loop of reforming and then splintering again. Stories like Battle of the Atom, Inhumans vs. X-Men, and Secret Empire further divided the mutants from one another, while longtime characters like Wolverine and Cyclops were killed off. But the Krakoa Era was designed specifically around reuniting the X-Men under a shared banner, with a built-in ability to restore any mutants killed over the years thanks to mutant resurrection.
