Cyclops finds The Last Will and Testament of Charles Xavier tomorrow in Uncanny X-Men #23.
What is Xavier’s legacy, what secrets will be revealed and how will it impact the students he left behind?
“Timing is everything when it comes to the X-Men. With such a complex history and intricate, overlapping family trees, it’s sometimes difficult to see where the past ends and the future begins. Such is the case with Xavier’s Last Will and Testament. I can’t say too much now about when it was written — but the timing of the writing of Xavier’s will does play a large part in the secret discovery that is unearthed during Original Sin,” X-Men Group Editor Mike Marts told Comic Book Resources.
Cyclops killed the Professor (while possessed by the Phoenix Force) and built a new school in his late mentor’s name. As you can see from Kris Anka’s arc above, this issue will include that final fatal encounter from AvX.
“Cyclops stands to be shaken most of all by the secrets of the will. As Xavier’s first student — and the man responsible for his death — Scott Summers is very much at the epicenter of all Xavier did and created as headmaster of the X-Men. Suffice it to say, when the details of the will are revealed, Cyclops and his team will be affected in a major way. It’s an event that will immediately impact the entire X-Men line–not just Cyclops’ team, but all of the squads. Expect friction and fireworks!”
Marts said Dazzler’s role will take a dramatic turn and expect the divisions between the X-Men to expand and even cause more dissent among teams. You may have been the new look for Alison coming in Uncanny X-Men #24.
