After Krakoa was revealed to the world, Professor X had his X-Men plant Habitat and Gateway flowers across the Earth. Additionally, any nation willing to recognize Krakoa's sovereignty and grant each mutant diplomatic immunity could receive access to the medicines synthesized from the flowers Human Drug L, Human Drug I, and Human Drug M.[5]
