Mr. Emerlad The Green the kid's mutant powers manifested and it was something like he emitted a toxic as that killed anyone in a certain radius. Nick Fury sent Wolverine to kill him, as he has a healing factor, but It wasn't brutal or anything. It was sad for Wolverine, sad for the kid. The kid accepted his fate because all he was just walking death. If you are interested I'm sure if you google "ultimate wolverine kills kid" you can find the scene. It was a one off story (more or less) so you don't need any background info. Edit: hope this link works but here it is imgur.com/gallery/I71V6
About Cypher, the entire point of him (and the New Mutants in general) was that they weren't a team optimized for maximum battlefield utility; they were kids going to school, and they also had powers that led them into assorted adventures. Cypher's language ability was often useful, and part of the fun was telling stories about the New Mutants that were not standard battles against supervillains.

Making Iceman gay was a stupid idea. The reason he was exposed as mutant was because he was saving his girlfriend. They could have at least made him bisexual that would have made more sense.
It's not just that they have Black Tom kill Sammy Paré aka Squid Boy, it's the way Black Tom kills him. I don't think Black Tom could've killed him in a more painful way even if he tried, and he did it in front of Juggernaut. Then having Sammy tell Juggernaut he hates him, and to me that moment is the cherry on top of a misery sundae. I still find it still very much gets to me and I read this story arc when it was first published in 2004.

Marvel making $25k on the first X-Men movie. But nah, them selling the rights to the X-Men created too many problems that future movies couldn't make up for, like not putting the X-Men in the latest Marvel vs Capcom iteration and Disney ultimately not willing to do anything with the franchise because it meant competing with 20th Century Fox for profits.

Nightcrawler’s death after saving hope summers. It’s sad to see Wolverine blame hope for Kurt’s death
Okay, this list started out strong and then you just dropped the ball. How is Iceman coming out as gay heartbreaking, unless it's because of the terrible writing involved? You left off Nightcrawler getting killed protecting Hope, Mariko breaking up with Logan because she thinks she's not worthy, Magneto and Storm thinking he killed Kitty, and the list goes on. But the MOST heartbreaking moment is when Jean decides it is better to die a human than live as a god-like entity who would probably eventually kill everyone she loves.

@@remylabeau5140 One thing Mark Miller does is show that lots of super powers aren't that useful (see Giant Man and Insect Queen in the Ultimates). Even though the telepaths like Jean Grey and Xavier are powerful, they still have soft skin and all it would take is one swipe from Logan's claws to kill them. Yes, some luck would be required so they wouldn't shut Mysterio or Wolverine down with a single thought but that was needed for the story so it's not that big of a shark jump for the story.

wdcain1 I don’t disagree. It’s just I don’t like the fact that one x-man was able to take out so many at once. And I know they have soft skin but when you have meetings with telekinesis and a ton of other x-men with long range attacks it seems unlikely. I can understand if he was able to kill one or a few, but all of them doesn’t seem like a possibility

Panthro Samah - Great addition to the list. Phenomenally powerful issue.
the mutant massacre and gambit basically being banished when the team found out about it
Xavier was so irrelevant by the time of AvX that his death hardly felt like anything.
So many good moments mentioned in the video and in the comments...but the one moment that always stuck with me was the 2 issue LS run adjacent to Ghost Box, Astonishing X-Men. A crippled Wolverine, a mentally handicapped Beast, Armor as the caretaker moving them through a broken, dead world. When the futility of survival comes to a head, she kills Beast and sets a fire beneath Wolverine, eventually killing him too. Then wanders off to starve to death. Couple that with the whole "Infinite Cyclops's suiciding to power a planet" and it was a tough read.
definitely old man Logan for me but hearing about squid boy, DAMN!
I want it to be known I left a dislike for the absurdity of the placement of Iceman's coming out. It's not only a matter of it being too high, it's that it shouldn't be on the list at all.
Blatant omissions: Suicide of Phoenix? Death of Jean Grey? Thunderbird’s death? Illyana’s death? Cyclops having to send his toddler to the future to save his life? Mariko leaving Wolverine at the alter? The deaths in the original Days of Future Past storyline? The mutant massacre? The slaughter of Genosha?
I think every one that died on your list came back to life. Kinda makes death rather blaze in Marvel Comics.

It's Mystique not Mistique.
No mention of the mutant Dennis Hopper being murdered in front of the X-Mansion in _X-Men Prime_ at all? Shameful.
Cyclops was right And I nearly cheered when he killed Xavier.
This was so poorly researched... Silver Samurai was not Mariko's father, as others have said. Moira was not Xavier's love. They were former lovers who had long broken up - before the founding of the X-men, even - but had remained friends/colleagues afterward. She and Banshee were the ones in the on-and-off relationship throughout her appearances in the comics. There's tons of sadder moments not listed here. How about Madeline Pryor's complete mental breakdown and psychic fever dream following the reveal that she was nothing but a clone of Jean Grey, genetically engineered just so that her womb could be used to incubate a child with Jean and Scott's DNA? She finds out she's not a person, believes no one cares about her, and loses everything; her husband, child, sanity, and finally, her life.
0:42 😂😂😂
Bro so much of this is straight up wrong. First of all Doug was never just a side character if you read New Mutants he was actually a main character for a lot of it. He was a crucial part of the team it’s just some fans at the time thought he was lame. Second of all Rahne was not Doug’s girlfriend I don’t even think they had any romantic connection at all. And third Doug was not a coward in my reading at least he was always trying to get in on the action and was distracted and insecure cause his abilities were non-offensive. Also Silver Samurai is not Mariko’s father
Number 2: Cmon naw dawg smh
How did none of Jean Grey’s death make this list????
Charles Xavier has not died in the comics as many times as you make it sound. In fact, showing film deaths confuses the issue - the list is about the comics, not films - so why show the films? In the mainstream reality, Xavier has died twice: Xavier faked his death in X-Men #42, and he was actually killed in Legion Quest (which was undone by the end of Age of Apocalypse). Not counting times when he was killed in storylines that were almost immediately undone (Secret Wars 1984, Infinity Gauntlet, etc.)
It’s Mystique, not Mistique.
