Now that there are only 198... What is to become of Genosha?

[ProfeZZor X]

We all know the reason why it was created, but now that there are "No More Mutants", or at least a significant enough number to occupy and run the island, what should Magneto (or the current caretakers) do with Genosha?

Or is there a recent story I'm missing out on?

Magneto is currently missing presumed dead.

Wicked, Shola etc are still kicking about.

It'll probably remain an unoccupied wasteland until the next storyline-induced spike in mutant numbers. Then we might see Mags try to restore it to its prior status as a "mutant homeland." Claremont had hinted that Sinister was conducting experiments there in EXCALIBUR, as well, so perhaps he's still covertly using it as a petri dish. And it's possible that its unoccupied status could come into play during CIVIL WAR, depending on how the series play out (Negative Zone gulag is exposed the public and seen as inhumane, so a new one is set up on uninhabited Genosha, where the pro-reg side could still theoretically suspend an inmate's civil rights).

Wasn't there a time when Xavier and Magneto went back to a devistated Genosha and started to rebuild it with a rogue group of surviving mutants already staying there?

Yep it was called Excalibur (weirdly enough). It ended after 13/14 issues when HoM started.

What Daithi said. That series also intimated that Sinister was also in Genosha, covertly using it as an environment for his experiments, but both the Xavier/Magneto reclamation project and the Sinister subplot were unfortunately torpedoed by the intrusion of HOUSE OF M. Since then, we've only seen trips to Genosha in SON OF M and NEW AVENGERS. At present, no one of note seems to be living there (since Mags took off at the end of the NEW AVENGERS arc).

So what ever happened to the people staying there (Unus (and posse), Callisto, Ghost Girl, Beast Boy- whatever his name was), and the rest of the mutants Xavier worked with... Is is safe to assume they were all depowered too?

I had a feeling it was Excalibur I was reading... I stopped reading it after someone lobbed off Callisto's tenticles... or whatever it was that happened to her.

All or most of the mutants living on Genosha were depowered. Quicksilver visited them and used the terrigan mists to temporarily restore their powers with unintended consequences. Unus was killed by his own force field.

I can't recall, did most or all of them bail out between SON OF M and NEW AVENGERS? I can't remember any of them being shown in NEW AVENGERS (Magneto seemed to be the island's only notable resident), but my memory might be faulty there and maybe they did make cameos.
