For decades, Moira was Xavier's ex-fiancee and a human geneticist who ran a research facility on Muir Island. Then Hickman revealed the truth: Moira is a mutant whose power is reincarnation with full memory of her past lives. She has lived ten lives, each ending in mutant extinction, and everything Xavier and Magneto built on Krakoa was guided by her knowledge of futures that failed. The most consequential retcon in X-Men history.
