Who's capable of suicide by using their powers on themselves?

[ProfeZZor X]

I can imagine some pretty hilarious and stupid scenarios of Colossus punching himself in the face, or Nightcrawler teleporting himself inside a wall or volcano, but since most, if not all mutants are immune to their own powers, who is capable of killing themselves based on using their powers on themselves, or indirectly killing themselves as a result of using their powers?

[CyberHubbs]

Gambit could energize a stack of cards before shoving them inside his Cajun mouth?

[just another user]

Hmm I would have expected you to have made a poll out of this one.

[Seikun21]

I think that a mutant would die if they were to use their powers too much, overextending themselves, going to levels they can't survive.

Storm's body probably couldn't handle controlling too many weather systems all at once or in rapid succession, she'd either die or move onto another plane of being.

If Surge used up all of the electrical charge that she held or absorbed too much she'd probably die.

[HeckBoy]

Depends what you mean by indirectly killing themselves. I can imagine any number of "energy beam shooters" shooting off their powers and have collateral damage fall on and kill them. Likewise, explosions resulting from powers seems like a pretty easy way to kill some characters.

[La Fea]

All?????????

[timbox]

All?????????

correct!!!!!

[ProfeZZor X]

Hmm I would have expected you to have made a poll out of this one.

This applies to ANY MUTANT, dead or alive. Why should this be a poll?

To be fair Brian, this seems to be a thread that some thought DID go into.

It's just that I'm not really sure I want to know what that line of thought was.

A tad....morbid, to say the least. Sometimes I worry about you, Prof, lol.

It was just one of those thoughts that came up when I was thinking about Gentle exhausting himself using his powers.

Or his.. wait i like Gambit never mind

Kitty could phase her self inside a wall and stop that would be an instant death

[La Fea]

correct!!!!!

Am I on the leader board now??????????

[Old No.7]

I'd prefer she phase herself into a magic bullet and get shot into space for the rest of her life.

[Monty_Cristo]

if Shortpack had just let his mutation follow it's natural path, he would have shrank out of existence.

[Joe Acro]

One of Nightcrawler's biggest fears is teleporting and rematerializing inside a wall. I think we can assume that would kill him.

[worstblogever]

I think you'd be harder pressed to name the characters who CAN'T.

And even then... most of the enhanced strength and durability types would be fine.

But anyone with teleportation, energy projection, mental powers... adamantium blades... etc... they could give themselves a dirt nap.

[darknessatnoon]

Well,

I am ashamed to say I've thought about this issue.

CC once wrote Psylocke being forced to cut herself with her own psychic katana when she was wrestling with that lady in the Goth (I forget her name... they all had stupid names).

Sage could overload her computer mind by applying her relentless thoughts to a paradox.

In X-Men: The End, doesn't Storm's constant use of electricity paralyze her?

Finally, I bet Bobby would suffocate if he froze his mouth shut.

[Swashbuckler]

We need pics of Storm in that stupid gimp suit she had to wear in The End.

And aren't some energy mutants immune to their own power.

Wonder if Logan has to play that "airplane" game to get Storm to eat her vegetables.

Some are. But Gambit once blinded himself with one of his own kinetically charged cards.

Thankfully, someone jump-started him. :smile:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, considering how much time Claremont spent making her the ultra X-Woman in his run it's sad that this is how he see's her future. I mean, I think Storm's lame as hell currently, but she doesn't deserve this.

[DeadXMan]

Actualy a mutant can't hurt themseves with their own powers, it's also the reason why siblings or close kinship can't harm each other.

Didn't she become that way helping Carol whip out the Brood once and for all?
plus she was heal by jean at the END of THE END

All right, here we go.

The girl who had the tattoo powers over in Xtreme X-Men... But I guess that if she tattoued over Exodus "I am a PINK pimp" or something she could be fried. (Now that I am thinking, she should date INK)

Irina, the amazing girl with three mouths in her neck (ick)

The guy who tattoed the Omega Gang, with thousands of little arms over his arms

Sacharine, thr old lady who swept sugar in Uncanny (um, but she could trip over a colony of african ants)

[darknessatnoon]

How do Irina's mouths kill her?

[Seikun21]

How do Irina's mouths kill her?

3 times the chance of choking on while eating?

[Leirus]

How do Irina's mouths kill her?

I was trying to find mutants who could not kill themselves with their powers...

(But the tripple choking seems a good theory)

[DeniseXfrost]

Agreed..............

Hmm how about Doug Ramsey? He wouldn't have gotten killed by using his amazing omnilingual powers. He got killed by a gun shot.

[Kirayoshi]

Well, I am pretty sure using his powers in drunk Moira would also kill him

Actually I don't think many mutants can. Magneto for example can't, unless he stabs himself, his powers don't effect himself like that it was proven by Joseph who had that restriction on his powers removed.

The ones I know who can are Unus, Gentle and Strong Guy, but only if Strong Guy has another heart attack.

Possibly Bishop, but only if he steps into enough energy that he would absorb it faster than he could release it, he's been hurt in similar situations. That wouldn't really be his powers killing him though, it would be the energy he was absorbing which would likely kill anyone else at much lower levels.

Most Omega level mutants could probably transend their physical bodies, not sure if that would count as death. Iceman could probably do this eventually, but there's always the chance he could reconstitute himself. I'm pretty sure some pyschics like Xavier can leave their bodies on the astral plane and probably opt not to return to them, but their astral form would probably continue to exist.

I don't like the idea of Nightcrawler teleporting into walls, that's almost like counting Forge because he could build a gun to shoot himself in the head... There is air in the space Nightcrawler teleports into, which doesn't effect him. I'd assume that the brimestone smoke that leads and follows his teleportations clears the air out of the way first, so it's possible he could up this aspect of his powers and use the gas to clear solids like walls out of his way when he teleports.

Would not be a surprise if, after years trying to avoid walls and such he one day teletransports into one and broke it without being damaged?

It would be like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH - er - uh?

That was always an interesting anxiety on his part that they could never test. If I were Professor Xavier, I would have had the Danger Room create a tub of low-density jello and have Nightcrawler try teleporting into that first.

In the Spiderman/Black Cat "The evil that men do" mini, a teleporter killed people by teleporting into them and, in effect, blowing them up. There were all kinds of things wrong with that story, (the teleporter actually had Kurt's bamf effect! Blasphemy!), but I think the idea is intriguing. Kurt has ended up inside a wall at one point, though, when a villain (whose name I forget) threw his navigation off. Luckily, he was with Kitty at the time and she phased them out.

But Kurt blowing stuff up by teleporting into it could be awesome. Possibly. I'd have to think about it.

I'll have to think about that, too. A lot.

Maggott could probably eat himself... which would make himslef stronger?

Excalibur - it was a simulation on Muir Isle (the mindscape machine Moira developed for Proteus), engineered to pit them against their fears in a 'safe' non real environment - so technically wouldn't count.

That was because his powers went beyond his body's limits. He didn't kill himself, just burned half his face and chest off with psychic energy. He could have burned away his whole body and still existed, much like Fever Pitch kept saying he was going to eventually do, and like Fever Pitch did to himself.

But I see what you're saying, most mutants have that block that stops things like this from happening. (As we saw with Magneto and Joseph)
