X-Men Red #18

Storm and the Brotherhood had the upper hand and then this happened and I'm screaming. Not just Apocalypse and Genesis' kids, but the White Sword (most likely with his One Hundred Champions coming along), a couple of Summoners, Eldritch horrors, and the endless horde of demons from Amenth, all arrive on Arakko.

No wonder Ewing said things were going to get really bad in this issue.

As Storm managed to destroy Genesis' Annihilation Staff, the discord spell on the Arakki mutants is broken. However, the Arakko Civil War left its bittersweet note when even though the war is over, it left some casualties. Fisher King had sacrificed himself by allowing his body to merge with Xilo before the latter merges with Ora Serrata. The relatives of the Fisher King - Weaponless Zsen, Khora of the Burning Heart and Syzya of the Smoke were left mourning for him. Elsewhere, Jon Ironfire was glad that his mentor, White Sword was not only alive, but also free from the brainwashing. Somewhere at the coast, the two walking Island monsters hug each other after a fight.

Mini Theory

White Sword will resurrect Magneto. It was never shown what his limit was . And him coming to Arakko isn't a coincidence. Magenta fighting Storm temporarily at least will be heartbroken for her.. Of course in the future that compulsion will lift off Magneto though

Link is off, locked in another battle with Ganon and his forces, leaving Zelda and the King in the castle in relative safety. Every day, the young princess worries for Link, even if she tries not to show it. But she doesn't have time to worry about anyone other than herself! There's rumbling under the castle and Zelda is about to stumble into another world! Armed with the royal White Sword and a shield, it's time for... The Adventure of Zelda!

...Okay, hear me out.

I really like Zelda's design in the CDI Zelda Games.

So, like, I'm not here to say that those games are good. But they are entertaining to watch-so, in a weird way, it's kind of a good cartoon and I recommend watching a let's play of either of those games (or, at least, a cutscene compilation). These Western Zeldas (So, the CDI Games and the Cartoon) were kinda born during this time when the franchise was young and fresh. It was the hot new thing, another notch on the Nintendo Belt and not this main staple of gaming and I think that's when Zelda had the most creative liberties so we could get more wilder entries.

With that said, it's kind of a shame we won't see any of the Western depictions of Zelda in any official capacity, practically scrubbed from Zelda's "illustrious time line" when, let's face it: the time line is stupid. And dumb. And meaningless; it's no better than SEGA's blast processnig.

But that's a rant for another day, lol.

With our new entry for this purpose, you can now vote for Kabam to add any Swordbearer of Arakko to Marvel Contest of Champions

There were too many to add individually, but together they seem like an important moment in recent mutant history.
