Return

House of X

The returned Professor Xavier came to take Cypher to the living island of Krakoa where he stated it was no longer their enemy. In fact, it was going to be the foundation of a Mutant nation and asked Douglas to develop a rapport with the island so that they could work together. Seeing this as an ambitious task, he agreed and started to work in developing the ability to communicate with Krakoa thus becoming a bridge to working with it. (Powers of X v1 #4) He was invaluable in developing the Krakoan language using the aid of Sage and Krakoa itself. (House of X v1 #1)

From Saturnyne's prophecy, they came to determine that Doug was chosen to be one of the champions of Krakoa to participate in the Contest of Swords. This saw Warlock taking the form of a blade where he underwent training under Magik though some were opposed to him participating in the tournament. This included Krakoa who felt Ramsey was too valuable to fight in the contest whilst those like Magik and Exodus felt he was not a fighter. Despite Magik's training, she felt that he would die in the match in Otherworld which had the danger that his demise might be permanent due to the nature of that inter-dimensional realm that affected the ability of the Resurrection Protocols to bring someone back to life. (New Mutants v4 #13)

During the dinner, Doug wanted to try some of the food Logan's plate whilst his attention was diverted but quickly found that it was poisoned by the Arraki group with War admitting she had intended to kill the Wolverine. Unable to breath, Isca came to open an airway in Doug's throat and the White Sword decided to heal Ramsey after being disgusted at the underhanded tactic of War. (Marauders v1 #15) Afterwards, the tournament began with the first match being between Betsy Braddock and Isca the Unbeaten where Captain Britain lost against her Arrako foe where she was shattered into pieces. The next match was between Cypher and Bei the Blood Moon though this was not an actual battle but instead a wedding arranged between the pair. The match was determined by the wedding vows of the two where Doug became smitten with Bei after becoming fascinated by her means of communication. The match ended with a draw where both earned a point for their respective factions as the two became officially married as a result. (Excalibur v4 #14)
