Ragnarok (mutants)

""This is a placeholder until someone says something really cool about Ragnarok.""

―Kale

Ragnarok is a highly secretive cabal of powerful mutants that has operated in some form for centuries. The common thread throughout its history has been its leader, an ancient mutant with the ability to transfer his consciousness from one body to another. Functionally immortal, this mutant has dedicated his, and sometimes her, considerable lifespan, intelligence, and resources to the end of manipulating the development of the human race. But only in the past century, when technology has finally caught up with his vision, has Ragnarok been able to begin work on its true goal: to take utter control of the evolution of humanity.

The organization is ruthless and amoral. They care nothing for individuals, populations, or governments. To them, all people are their test subjects, and the entire earth is their laboratory. With a combination of devastating mutant powers, unparalleled technology, and seemingly limitless funds, Ragnarok may represent the single greatest threat on earth to humanity in its current form.

Editor's note: If Mutants, Unite was a TV show, Ragnarok would be the mystery villain hinted at through the first season, gradually revealed through the second season, and actively engaged in the third season. This article represents the creative notes that would keep the writers on the same page as they develop this new threat. It's still very much a work in progress, and those of us who've been creating Ragnarok are still working on how their plans will manifest in our mutant world.
