Beware of unmarked spoilers - WMG pages are always Spoilers Off

The Fisher King's daughter will prove to be important
Aside from serving as a parallel to Magneto's own complicated family, she'll turn out to be somebody we've met.
  • Confirmed by Word of God, before appearing in the comic itself. In an episode of Cerebro, Al Ewing revealed that the Fisher King's daughter is Weaponless Zsen from Legion of X. Issue #6 then confirms it in the comic and reveals that he has a second daughter - Khora of the Burning Heart, another significant character.

The Eternals will wreck Arakko as part of Judgment Day
On a meta level, the Arakki are the expendable mutants. On a canon level, the Eternals have world-wrecking technology, but their Celestial programming restricts its use against Earth.
  • Confirmed. Issue #5 sees Uranos kill almost everything in a fifty mile radius of the Great Ring, as well as leaving automated war machines behind, scattered across Arakko, once he returns to Earth.

Cable took a dive in the fight with the Progenitors
Dying got him a quick, easy trip back to Earth - where he could meet with Thunderbird and Manifold somewhere Brand couldn't monitor them. It's also possible that getting his technology stolen is part of this, and he plans to hack Brand's systems from within. And finally, it's also very likely that at least one of the other members of Brand's X-Men team is also working with Cable.
  • Whether or not he intentionally took a dive, now that he knows Brand and Stellaris have stolen his unique techno-organic virus, Cable can work with Manifold to track its location, guiding them to the World Farm in #8.

Orbis Stellaris is an existing character
We know he was born on Earth in the 19th century. Ewing loves digging up old Marvel history - he's going to be someone we've seen before.
  • Confirmed in #10, after heavy hints in solicitations - he's an elderly version of Nathan Essex (Mr. Sinister) with a black spade symbol on his forehead.

The 'missing' Super-Skrull is actually impersonating someone else
Cable's read Brand's plans before she springs her trap and unleashes Vulcan on the Shi'ar. Is the Super-Skrull impersonating Xandra?
  • Jossed, at least for Xandra. It's Sunspot, not the Super-Skrull, who's impersonating her.

The Fisher King is going to rehabilitate Brand in some way
His final speech to her reads as if he'll be remaking her personality, not killing her.

Storm and Death will begin a romance

With Legion of X cancelled, some of those characters will join X-Men Red

Storm and Craig of NASA will begin a romance
Admit it, wouldn't that be fun to read?
  • Confirmed. Her first date with Craig opens issue #11.
Ironfire kills Genesis
Ending the foretold Genesis war in a way that alienates Apocalypse.

Ironfire kills Lodus Logos
There have been hints that Ironfire will kills someone he regrets. And more that Lodus Logos "has not long".

Ironfire kills Craig of NASA
Seems unlikely, given the way Sins of Sinister portrays him working with Loolo, but...

Jon Ironfire and the White Sword were once romantically involved
It's easy enough to read some Ho Yay into their interactions once Jon's freed from the Sword's power and comments on how Blue "got old". Whether it's platonic or not, they certainly have history and care deeply for each other.

Cable, Manifold, Thunderbird and Wiz-Kid have left the book following Sins of Sinister
Cable's turning up elsewhere, but could they all be leaving Mars?

Lycaon, the Great Ring's new "omega Wolverine", will fall to Genesis
He's being positioned and powerful and scary, so a perfect Sacrificial Lion.

Kobak and Lodus Logos will begin a romance
Lodus obviously cares for him...

The cowled figure with Apocalypse is Rictor
The two were close before Apocalypse went home with his wife and kids. Also it's mentioned that Apocalypse wishes to use the elements to remake the world. Rictor controls the earth in some way. To add to that he would be a good foil to Genesis, as he is tied to the Earth, tied to plant-life (as a druid) and has a romantic link to Apocalypse.
  • Jossed. The cowled figure is actually Sunfire, having bonded with Redroot over in X-Men Unlimited.
