The X-Men: Heir Of Apocalypse mini-series from last year, the final shake against the urinals by the Age of Krakoa, gave us a new heir to Apocalypse, Revelation. Quite a move up from the mutant with the power of translation, Doug Ramsey.

With a plan to basically take over the X-Men. And in today’s Giant-Size X-Men #2, we get a glimpse of that future, courtesy of Destiny and Mystique.

As we saw in X-Men #19, Doug Ramsey and friends are heading to Alaska for just that.

While in X-Men: Age Of Revelation #0, we got that meeting in flashback…
- X-Men: Age Of Revelation #0
And then division, with Doug Ramsey wanting to rescue Fabian Cortez, with the power to boost others’ mutant powers. And then crossing a line with his power, into control, coercion, slavery and the like. And once crossed?

Doug Ramsey can never go back. And neither can the world. With the spread of a virus that turns into a mutant, anyone it doesn’t kill…
- X-Men: Age Of Revelation #0
And obviously, no one is masking or self-isolating these days. Although there is a quarantine, it only goes so far and fosters fear.
- X-Men: Age Of Revelation #0
Doug Ramsey uses his newfound powers to start making the big changes, fuelled by his new acolyte and power-boosting buddy, Fabian Cortez.

Something also seen in today’s future visions from Destiny, with Doug Ramsey as a gardner, talking to flora and fauna.

And makes a wider change across the United States Of America on a political basis as well.
- X-Men: Age Of Revelation #0
Secession. The Revelation Territories of America, with Doug Ramsey and his council at their head. And all based out of Philadelphia. Of course, this will not stand either.
- X-Men: Age Of Revelation
And Doug Ramsey, with Fabian Cortez powering up Vanisher, took a play out of Tony Stark’s book in the Avengers movie.
- X-Men: Age Of Revelation
And they dropped that bomb elsewhere.

On Washington D.C… and this is what the Destiny future refers to, it seems. And you thought Trump’s response was bad…
- Giant-Size X-Men #2 by Jed MacKay and Cafu
And with Philadelphia the new home for Doug Ramsey and his mutant government, amid a green paradise.
- X-Men: Age Of Revelation #0
Kinda… though it does seem to be fraying at the edges as Destiny looks at it.
- Giant-Size X-Men #2Â by Jed MacKay and Cafu
And with Timeslide from last year looking even further forward… they do seem to at least have done a little rebuilding in Washington DC.

The Age Of Revelation is coming… but today’s Giant-Size X-Men gives you a peek.
