While some of those deaths were heroic and well - earned , with only the most prominent and powerful supervillains in their rapscallion ’s heading being capable to do them in , a number ofX - man were killed by villainswho most fans have n’t even try of . These villains had no right to even challenge an A - list team like the ten - Man , let alone kill the squad ’s members . But , despite that , here are the 12X - Menheroes stamp out by ezed - leaning scoundrel .

Kuan - Yin Xorn is a mutant who has a miniature star for a caput with the might to keep in line charismatic fields ( among other ability ) . That was how he was able to portray Magneto , which - in turn - is how he was able to pull one over on Jean Grey and kill theOmega Level Mutant . InNew X - Men#150 by Grant Morrison and Phil Jimenez , Jean is direct off guard by Xorn as she believe him to be an injured Magneto , and when she conk out to serve him , Xorn used the Brobdingnagian energy his body naturally give rise and sends a lethal electromagnetic heart rate through her soundbox , do her to have a “ global - scurf apoplexy ” .
11Nightcrawler Killed By Bastion
During theX - man : Second Comingcrossover event , Nightcrawler went toe - to - toe with Bastion , a relatively unknown villain who is a human / sentinel hybrid with a embarrassment of powers including superhuman strength / speed , techno - constituent body part ( including wing ) , and regenerative abilities , just to name a few . Basically , Bastion makes up for the fact that he is n’t extremely well - known by being incredibly powerful , and he used that office to kill Nightcrawler - well , sort of . In truth , Nightcrawler sacrifice himself inX - Force#26 ( by Craig Kyle , Chris Yost , and Mike Choi ) to save Hope Summers , by teleporting in front of Bastion as he was about to strike Hope down , and end up with the scoundrel ’s branch through his chest , which bolt down Nightcrawler moments after he teleport Hope to refuge .
10Cyclops Killed By Breakworld
Fighters Breakworld is an exotic planet in a perpetual state of war . The residents there imperil the existence of Earth after their prophets foresaw a mutant being responsible for the remnant of their world . So , the tenner - Men conk out to stop them before their pre-emptive strike , and in a moment of self - forfeit ( though with the cognition that he ’d be resurrected soon thereafter ) water flea allowed himself to be toss off by the Breakworld fighter for the sake of the mission inAstonishing X - Men#22 by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday . pour down by nameless , faceless drones on a distant major planet … does n’t get much more ‘ zed - list ’ than that , especially for an X - Men appendage as prominent as Cyclops .
9Magneto Killed By Uranos
Uranos is the capital Earth Eternal and the grandfather ( technically granduncle ) of Thanos . During Marvel Comics’Judgment Dayevent , the Eternals - under the leaders of Druig - determined that mutants were effectively deviants , meaning the Eternals had a province to root out them - and Uranus happily complied with that task . InX - human race Red#5 by Al Ewing and Stefano Caselli , an all - out war broke out between Uranos and the X - mankind , and the struggle that go on in this issue ended with Uranos ’ clenched fist through Magneto ’s chest . Uranos literally rive out Magneto ’s core , and while the Master of Magnetism was able to hold himself together using his Omega - Level mutation to help defeat Uranos , Magneto died a few issues later inX - Men Red#7 - murdered by the secure Eternal most fan have never heard of .
8Multiple Man Killed By Terrigen Mist
When the Terrigen Mist was unleashed all over the existence by Black Bolt to unlock the latent index in humans who did n’t know they had Inhuman DNA , no one knew that the mist was also a virulent poisonous substance to mutants . At least , not untilDeath of X#1 by Jeff Lemire , Charles Soule , and Aaron Kuder when water flea and some of the other X - Men members found Multiple Man ( actually , a small USA of Multiple Man ) dead , with only one of himself cleave to lifelong enough to tell water flea precisely what killed him . This ingress is a bit unequalled , as it was n’t even a scoundrel who killed Multiple Man , but a deadly mist , making this ‘ villain ’ arguably even a touch below Z - tilt .
7Kate Pryde Killed By Sebastian Shaw
nonchalant fans might be more familiar with Sebastian Shaw than they are with most other entries on this list , as he was one of the few who really got a resilient - action adaptation , as well as an entire villain - arc inX - mankind : The Animated Series . Even if most people do n’t know him , Kate Pryde sure enough does , especially in the Krakoan era when Kate work closely with Emma Frost and the Hellfire Trading Company . During that metre , Kate was at odds with Shaw as the two were in a ceaseless game of qat and mouse that would only cease with one of them dead . regrettably , inMarauders#6 by Gerry Duggan , Matteo Lolli , and Mario Del Pennino , the one who died was Kate . In that issue , Sebestian Shaw drowned Pryde in the ocean ( which is really one of the few ways to in reality kill her ) . It was a brutish moment , even if her destruction was ultimately temporary .
6Psylocke Killed By Vargas
Vargas is a non - mutant superhuman who is immune to all illnesses , has a healing factor , has intensify reflexes and agility , and who is stronger and quicker than any regular homo . According to him , Vargas is human evolution ’s resolution to the rise of mutantkind , and that mindset lead him to practice his ability to assault and stress to belt down the ten - Men inX - Treme X - Men#1 by Chris Claremont and Salvador Larroca , and in the very next event , he succeed in killing one of them : Psylocke . His service line superhuman abilities made him deadlier than the mutant warrior , with the fact that fan have never heard of him before ( or horse sense ) being entirely irrelevant .
5Blink Killed By the Phalanx
The Phalanx is a universal hivemind intelligence that journey the cosmos assimilate entire civilisation , adding them to its ever - growing knowledge of the universe . It ’s a powerful brute - being most prominently show inHouse of X / Powers of X- but one that not too many fans may be aware of . However , Blink became painfully mindful of the Phalanx during the Phalanx Covenant crossing event , when she and a number of other mutant were captured and experimented on by the Phalanx . woefully , inX - Men#37 by Fabian Nicieza and Andy Kubert , Blink dies after a failed deliverance attempt to save her and her fellow mutants from the fairly - unnoticeable cosmic hivemind .
4Thunderbird Killed By Count Nefaria
Count Nefaria is a human being - turned - superhuman through experimentation by Baron Zemo , who then went on to become a supervillain in his own right . While his time as an sinner against team like the Avengers or the X - Men has fundamentally gone unremembered , Nefaria did manage to take out off one impressive kill : Thunderbird . InUncanny X - Men#95 by Chris Claremont , Len Wein , and Dave Cockrum , the 10 - Men were battling Nefaria and his nefarious police squad as they tried to take over a military facility . When Nefaria tried to escape by flying aside in a plane , Thunderbird jumped on the aircraft to stop him . However , the plane was rigged to burst , and when it did , Thunderbird was killed as a result . So , while Nefaria was the reason Thunderbird is numb , it was decidedly more of a passive putting to death than a deliberate or even winning one . However , Thunderbird ’s death is one for theX - Menhistory books , as his was the first major death in the history of the enfranchisement , and would n’t be undo until the Krakoan era many years afterward .
3Banshee Killed By Vulcan
Vulcan is the long - lost brother of Cyclops and Havok , who was actually recruited by Charles Xavier before the second - gen X - Men were introduced inGiant - Size X - Men#1 to economise the first - gen X - Men from the then - villainous bread and butter island Krakoa . That mission result in Vulcan being left to die in space , until he was able to return to Earth after the M - Day event , at which point , Vulcan takes his revenge against Charles Xavier and his ‘ cute ’ X - Men . This enlargement / retcon of the classicX - Menstory is told in its entirety inX - Men : Deadly Genesis , and in the third issue of that limited series ( by Ed Brubaker and Trevor Hairsine ) , Vulcan murders Banshee . It ’s a mordant storyline feature a less - than - memorable scoundrel , but one with a great impingement on the widerX - Menlore .
