Once again, the Hellfire Gala brought heroes, ambassadors, and celebrities to Mykines, where the aliens of Gameworld entertained them. Unlike its predecessor, the second Hellfire Gala took place almost entirely in X-MEN: HELLFIRE GALA (2022) #1, by Gerry Duggan, Russell Dauterman, Kris Anka, C.F. In addition to being featured throughout the story and on variant covers throughout the crossover, these high fashion designs were collected in the HELLFIRE GALA GUIDE (2021) #1. With dramatic gowns, revealing looks, and ornate suits, everyone from Colossus to Mystique sported impressive outfits, with Emma Frost going through no less than three wardrobe changes. The first Hellfire Gala also let mutants put their best foot forward in high fashion outfits designed by Russell Dauterman, Alberto Foche, Lucas Werneck, David Baldeón, Matteo Lolli, Stephen Segovia, Bob Quinn, Alex Lins, Valerio Schiti, Marcus To, and Joshua Cassara. Elsewhere at the gala, Angel and Penance interviewed new leaders for X-Corp, Wolverine and X-Force guarded the event, and uninvited guests like Deadpool and the Hellions tried to crash. Taking place on the Krakoa-protected island Mykines, this inaugural gala saw mutants mingle with the Avengers, international diplomats, and real-world celebrities like Patton Oswalt and Jimmy Kimmel. Running throughout several X-Men series, 2021’s Hellfire Gala chronicled the events of the gala and its aftermath. Similarly, the gala also presents Frost and Krakoa’s other leaders a way to make major announcements in front of the world’s luminaries. When Cyclops and Jean Grey decided to reform the X-Men as a team of heroes operating outside of Krakoa, the gala gave the world’s mutants a chance to vote on the group’s prospective members before assembling the new X-Men team for the first time. As a state dinner, the Hellfire Gala allows Krakoa to host international diplomats and heroes like the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. Shortly after Frost reorganized the Hellfire Club’s resources to create Krakoa’s Hellfire Trading Company, Jumbo Carnation, a mutant fashion designer, gave Emma the idea to renew the tradition in MARAUDERS (2019) #7.Īlthough the White Queen was initially not sure what the Hellfire Gala would be, she found ways for the event to serve several purposes simultaneously. The Hellfire Gala was originally an annual holiday party hosted by the Hellfire Club, an elite group of wealthy and influential individuals where mutants like Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost flaunted their power. Before the next Hellfire Gala kicks off the “ Fall of X,” we’ll also be looking ahead to this year’s event, which is set to shake the world of Marvel’s mutants in X-MEN: HELLFIRE GALA (2023) #1, by Gerry Duggan, Kris Anka, Joshua Cassara, Russell Dauterman, Adam Kubert, Pepe Larraz, R.B. Now, we’re taking a closer look at past years of the Hellfire Gala and how these events have reshaped the course of mutant history. Naturally, the Hellfire Gala also stands as an irresistible target for enemies of the X-Men and mutant-hating groups like Orchis. The Hellfire Gala simultaneously serves as an official state dinner, the election of a new X-Men team, a celebrity-packed party, and a showcase for mutant high fashion. Since the X-Men and the rest of Marvel’s mutants formed a nation on the Living Island Krakoa, the annual event has quickly become a high point in the social calendar of Marvel’s heroes. The Hellfire Gala is the biggest mutant celebration in the Marvel Universe, and it might be its most dangerous too.
