Way of X will reveal how Krakoa's process of bringing mutants back to life will lead to some dangerous side effects.

In an interview with CBRWay of X writer Simon Spurrier explained how the ability to resurrect any mutant comes with an unexpected dark side. "We first encounter these particular youngsters in the opening sequence of issue #1," Spurrier said. "It’s this incredible stealth mission to infiltrate a Catholic church in Venice, which is suspected of having ties to the Orchis Protocol (one of the institutional Big Bads in this new Krakoan era). We open with Nightcrawler, Pixie, Blink, Loa and DJ performing the mutant version of a H.A.L.O. (High Altitude Low Opening) jump. They're just falling out of the sky, using portals to direct and slow their approach. Bamf! Blink! Poff! It's this wonderful spectacle, and these kids are just enjoying the hell out of it. They can’t die, so why wouldn’t they take risks?"

Jonathan Hickman's House of X/Powers of X revealed that The Five, Elixir, Goldballs/Egg, Tempus, Proteus and Hope Summers, could use their powers in conjunction to resurrect any dead mutant—with an assist from Professor X and Cerebro. This has effectively made mutants immortal and will spur Nightcrawler to start a mutant religion. But it's not without its consequences.

"When things go sour inside the church, we start to see a darker aspect to that same danger-loving culture," Spurrier continued. "Without spoiling things too much, we’re floating the notion that death has become almost a thrill for the youngsters of Krakoa. It's a twisted stand-in for the somewhat sleazy peer-pressure kids can face to lose their virginity. They're saying, 'Oh, you haven't died yet? Come on! Everybody's doing it...' Needless to say, here's poor old Nightcrawler in the middle of it, going, 'WHAT? This is so wrong!' But when they ask him why, he can’t put into words any rational or moral reason why it's wrong. If someone dies, they come back. No biggie, right?"

As Nightcrawler fears, however, things are more complicated than the young mutants believe. "It turns out it is a biggie. And it’s linked to this horrible something-or-other lurking just below the surface, threatening to tear down everything."
