X-Men fans have celebrated the return of Rasputin IV and her arrival in Marvel’s main timeline, and now she’s decked out for her first Hellfire Gala in gorgeous art from McKelvie, appearing on select covers of July 19's X-Men Red 13.
After escaping the hellscape of Sins of Sinister, the X-Men's new super-mutant is making herself at home, as Rasputin IV prepares for her first Hellfire Gala. Having been a fan-favorite for years after appearing in a defunct possible future, Rasputin only just made the jump into the Marvel Universe's main continuity. The Krakoan paradise that she was promised is finally within her grasp, and the Hellfire Gala is the perfect opportunity to celebrate.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Nearly all the entries in this year's extensive series of Hellfire Gala variant covers were shared last month, but three have remained a mystery until Marvel released one last week. The Hellfire Gala variant for X-Men Red #13 comes from artist Jamie McKelvie, and features Rasputin IV in a glorious new costume.
X-Men's Hellfire Gala Welcomes Rasputin IV Rasputin IV is a chimera - a genetically engineered hybridized mutant created by Mister Sinister. Rasputin IV possesses the powers of Kate 'Kitty' Pryde, Piotr Rasputin, Unus the Untouchable, Laura Kinney, and Quentin Quire, making her one of the most powerful mutants ever to exist. Impressively, she's managed to enter Marvel's present right as the third Hellfire Gala arrives.
Rasputin IV Finally Exists in the Modern Day Rasputin IV must have felt immense relief entering the modern day after experiencing her own hellish time. Sadly, Rasputin remains unaware of the irony of her situation. As press releases in the lead up to the Fall of X era have made clear, this year's Hellfire Gala will be disrupted by an Orchis strike ending in a national tragedy.
Rasputin IV Arrives Just in Time for Trouble Despite the ill tidings on the horizon, Rasputin IV's outfit looks gorgeous - perhaps she'll even have the better part of the evening to party before tragedy strikes. However, as yet there's been no tease as to what Rasputin will be up to during the Fall of X, so maybe the celebrations result in something worse than just a wake-up call.
