[RH_Duncan]

Fall of the Mutants ...OR:… Dark Phoenix Saga, NOTE: 8 X-Men and a human (Madelyne) secrefying their lives is to me more heavy then one X-Men going bad and end up killing herself.

Days of future Past ...OR:… X-Men: The End, NOTE: I liked The End more, but if we're talking about important moments in X-History, The End hasn't happened and DOFP did influance X-History because they prevented Destiny to kill Senator Kelly.

Cassandra Nova's attack on Genosha ...OR:… Rogue joins the X-Men, NOTE: The killing 16 million totally shocked me back then.

Mutant Massacre ...OR:… Legacy Virus, NOTE: both events killed a lot of mutants, but a massacre is way more dramastic

Vulcan is 3rd Summers brother ...OR:… School goes public, NOTE: The school going public gave much more turbulance in the lives of all X-Men and students, Vulcan only in a few their lives

Inferno ...OR:… Operation: Zero Tolerance, NOTE: Both were heavy events, so I choose the one I found more memorable.

Mutants in Neverland concentration camps ...OR:… Student Riot at Xaviers, NOTE: What can be worse then a concentration camp where ex X-Men got killed?

Age of Apocalypse 1 ...OR:… Fall of Avalon (Holocaust kills some Acolytes), NOTE: AoA was a better story but had almost no real impact on the X-Men afterwards

M-Day (de-powering 90% of mutants) ...OR:… The changes of Archangel wings, NOTE: Of course is the depowering of 90% way worse then one mutant who has some wing changes every now and then.

X-Men 1.5 to Krokoa (Deadly Genesis) ...OR:… Cuckoos down from 5 to 3, NOTE: In both cases 2 cool girls died, but the way Xavier played his part on the Krokoa issue is sooo bad.
