REGARDING THE X-MEN

Furthermore, it is the suggestion of this body that the familiar moniker of the Xavier School should be eliminated. This Council sees no need -- and only potential complications -- in the continued acceptance, and use, of the name "X-MEN" as an active term implying agents of mutantdom.

It is in the best interest of Krakoa -- and all mutants -- if the only authority and higher representation rests entirely with THE QUIET COUNCIL OF KRAKOA.

This is delicate work we do. We cannot afford the slightest societal crack. So from this day forward, the X-MEN are no more.

NOTE: The familiarity of the term "X-MEN" makes its use unavoidable as it is often freely, though incorrectly, interchanged with the term mutant (especially among human allies and adversaries), or used to add a patina of mutant nobility to an individual who is already part of a noble race. It is therefore -- in the short-term -- best practice to simply ignore its usage while we transition away from the old models of celebrated mutant paragons.
