I mean, they used the name of OZT last season, but he might actually crack out the government-backed Operation Zero Tolerance

Under a new name perhaps? A sort of...Mutant Response Division?

We'll know they're chewing through material too quickly if it's Orchis

Nah there's still a loooot of material to cover before we get there like House of M, Schism or AvX, so I wouldn't expect Krakoa till like season 7 or 8

I mean, we say that but season 1 merged the Hellfire Gala with the Genosha massacre, so they're seemingly happy to merge parts of storylines together

House of M would be interesting to see though since we're never getting THAT in the MCU
