here's a thread where u can post a thing about something sad that happened in x-men history

i can think of a sad thing....how many times jean has dead and scotts heart has been broken ( i think he would have been used to it)

I really don't think it's all that sad... at least for the reader of the comic when Jean dies for like the eleventh time..

Doug Ramsey's death was sad for the New Mutants.

Colossus has a lot of sad moments. Illyana's death. His parents being murdered. Mikhail's death. His own death.

Kitty Pryde lost Colossus, lost her father on Genosha (if I remember right).

Forge was a bastard to Storm, when he reneged on his marriage proposal.

storm deserved it...

that whole "entity v. the microverse" thing wasn't a shining moment in xavier's history.

warren getting crucified twice seemed unpleasant.

mikhail lost his self-righteous sense of nobility when he killed that one morlock girl to make cable think storm was dead. i'd admired him until then.

September 2000, Quesada became Marvel's Editor-in-Chief eventually fueled by his distaste of the X-men to lead to Chamber's comatose state.

Well, fortunately hie "dead means dead" rule isn't as strict as I first feared, right guys?

I recall hearing Psylocke's death and rebirth was just Claremont wanting to get rid of her shadow powers and tattoo.

Colossus was dead for a while... I think Whedon specifically asked to bring him back and at least he made Colossus second coming meaningful.

Hopefully he'll be back...

Damn point taken

How in the world did that happen?

When Chambers' powers manifested he blew a whole through his chest and lower jaw. (Not to mention he crippled his girlfriend too.)

This mutant ability sustained him and he didn't have to eat food anymore. As a side result of having no mouth to talk with, he communicated telepathically.

Eventually, they fixed this and Chamber looked normal again; then he blew his face and chest off again.

Now that Wanda has screwed all mutie gene trash, Chamber is royally farked.

Sad moments?

X-Factor when Cyclops sent baby Nathan into the future...

Angel getting his wings pinned to the wall in the Morlock caves...

The whole Legion and Xavier story...

umm...when the X-men all sacrificed themselves and died. (Roma brought them back right after)

Umm..when Harry's Hideaway was destroyed.

Death of Thunderbird (Watch for him to come back in X-meneadly Genesis)
Death of Colossus
Death of Revanche
Death of Jean Grey (Multiple)
Death of Psylocke
Death of Cyclops
Death of Maggot
Death of Northstar

sheesh, that's another strike against forge... cut him some slack, people!

I think now, with the whole decimation stuff is probably the saddest moment in X men history. Wanda basically nearly made mutants extinct.

Wanda has screwed everyone over in the last two years. First the Avengers now all of mutant kind. Magneto needs to be fixed so he doesn't have anymore crazy ass children.

The saddest momnet in xmen history must be NO MORE F***ING MUTANTS !!!!!!!! How f***ed up is that.

sadest moment for me, have been when both Cyclops and Iceman returned as kick ass mutants, only to be reduced to trash in a matter of months as new creative teams replace the then current. With Cyclops when he returned from Apoc's control and kicked butt in Genosha, but then became an insecure *** in Quitely's run. With Iceman, short after zero tolerance, having single handely taken down Bastion and then reduced to an insecure *** in Austen's run.


but agreed with previous posts, the most current sadest moment in xmen history is the removal of millions worth of mutants... but I like where its headed atm... Chamber will return to former glory as will Iceman, and those Sentinels will kick butt!!!!!

Omg..Chamber cry ..I liked him..

Sad moments...this is not from the comics, but in TAS..when Jean dies..as she goes into the sun she says something about wishing Scott could see how beautiful it is...that was such a sad moment..

..in the comics..there was one I read about Wolverine remembering Psylocke..that was very sad..

oh yea I remember that one... that was Xmen unlimited right? yea that was pretty good, but its basically void now seeing as shes back

am i the only one who thought cassandra nova launching the extermination of genosha was more "sad" than this quesada-inspired "no more mutants" line?

Ooo..that reminds me..the comic where Lorna boosts the signal of the black box on Genosha and all last moments of all the people are revealled..and then Magneto speaks..it's quite powerful....I posted pages from it awhile ago..

I agree that was a really sad scene.

Who found the no more mutants scene sad? Didnt do anything for me to be honest. I agree the Cassandra Nova thing was far more touching imo

Grant Morrison & Chuck Austen. ' Nuff Said.

I quite like Quitelys work. I loved it in New X-men.

I do like the way he drew lips but other than that I could stand him.

sad events ppl

Quietly, Liefeld, Austen and Morrison are sad events.

I really didn't find the extermination of Genosha sad... we knew none of them... and anyone we did know of there survived.... but HOM was more dramatic because lots of people's favourites have currently lost their powers.... but as we know thye will get them back

Is it just me, or is anyone else kinda tired of the way they play the Pheonix?

we all are sweetie lol

But then she is Phoenix..and the whole thing about Phoenix's is that they die and come back to life..so it's got to be expected...still annoying but understandable..

yea the phoenix thing is a little annoying

i got a name change!!!!(again)

the saddest thing that ever happend in xmen history,was when hollywood got their grubby little hands on them and made a movie out of them.like most comicbook movies,they decided to betray the spirit of the comics by changing their costumes.

I think that they really need to figure out something different to do with Jean Grey... The entire Pheonix thing is played imo

I agree with mr.Parker.... It would have been so bloody cool to see the xmen running around in Jim Lee's Costumes.... everyone would've loved it....

yes storms outfits!! drool

To me the saddest thing about X-men is the overexaggeration of Wolverine's ability and personality. I much prefer the old comics where he was half normal.

Agreed

Sad...

1. Kitty Pride's breakup with Pete Wisdom. Because, as we all know, Kitty's such a pure and innocent girl that she could neeeever find happiness in the arms of an older guy that's good to her and has done some bad things in his past... Oh wait.

2. Proteus' death. Dude...

3. Nightcrawler's new family history. DUDE! NO!

4. Nathaniel Essex, standing on the very brink of throwing away his humanity forever, watches his wife and unborn child pass away. And his wife's last words to him are that he will be, to her, forever something sinister. Dang...

5. X-2 death of Lady Deathstrike. What a waste...

yes yes and yes

When Matsu'o was about to commit suicide in front of
Psylocke

When Kitty found out her parents were getting divorced

I would have been really sad had Mojo 2 executed Domo in
Marvel Fanfare #4 !

Oh, I know, I really do think those are some of the saddest (non-pathetic) moments in X-Men history. I mean, okay, the Wisdom and PRide breakup and Nightcrawler retcon are examples of just plain awful writing as well, but just because they're examples of pathetic writing that doesn't mean they're not sad for the characters too.

really heart wrenching stuff, in phoenix endsong, when every1 remembers her and there is a double sheet of every1 jean knows calling out to her before she dies... soooo sad, also when she is going into the white hot room and she says to scot, i wanna see ur eyes one more time

sad was when mikhail infected illyana with the legacy virus just because he thought her mystically augmented body would find a cure. she really looked up to him, and he hurt her more than belasco and s'ym ever did imo. what even made this sadder is that whole limited series was just a way of telling all the magik fans to shut up she ain't coming back so we're gonna give you this lame ass story to finally prove it

see i cant stand cyclops so there for i cant feel any emotion towards him he has to be the most crappliy thought up mutant of all time and if you think for 1 second to prove me wrong look at his power all it is,is laser vison ........i mean come on who doesent have laser vison if you want a well thought up charctor look at x-tream he has i think the most original power.

lol its not laser vision its optic blasts

sad..........hmmmmm............somethings sad.............when angels wings were amputated...he was just a normal person then........wait....does he have healing powers?? i'm confuse here. HELP!!!!

Arwen

illyana looked up to her brother? she wasn't born until after he "died" the first time, and they never met before mikhail was whisked away to the hill. and everything he's done since then is hardly admirable... her admiration for him must've been dozens of times LESS than piotr's, and though infecting her was much worse than simply revealing himself as a weak, pathetic failure of a man, i still think colossus got the shit end of the rasputin stick when it came to mikey...

yes angel does have healing powers it explains it(i think) uncannyxmen.net... he evolved to a higher stage in evolution and thats where he got the healing factor, though its not as goods as wolvies!

lol ty u for anwsering my ?

All the previous posts.
Let's see.
A lot of the back up stories from Classic X-men.
For Example: Jean waiting for her christmas date with scott not knowing that that day will forever change her *cough* phoenix *cough*.
Or How Jean actually turned into (well not turned into, gave her essence to) Phoenix, loved the way she was slowly dying.
Oh and Magnetos past.

Other stuff:
The whole Madelyne Prior thing.
The death of Infectia, with beast holding her (just having let Sinister take Threnody).
Although I know it's just a cover, but that alternate one from astonishing with beasts furry hand and broken picture of his former human self. Man that cover was deep.
Death of Jean Grey (on the moon) and Colosus needs to be brought up again simply cus they're so good (unfortunatly havent read the illyana thing).
When Storm lost her powers.
Rachel! Oh Rachel! How sad a life...

God I know there's tons more...

another bad time was when

emma got shot and smashed into 1000's of piece
one stetphard cuckoo died

there are only 3 of them left i think,the cukoos
