[Personamanx]

I guess this means Kitty is not Dead.

[spiderwire]

Thunderbird is the new Bucky. He shouldn't come back just as he shouldn't have died so early.

[Azure]

There are dead female characters too, Marvel! Gosh, why are you pushing such a masculine agenda on us?

[Goshin]

the only characters on that list i wanna see back are thunderbird and banshee.


jean can wait a few more years but i wanna see her back too

[Quinnhop]

I guess this means Kitty is not Dead.

Occam Says: "Or it could be Marvel admitting that she sucks."

[frostfire]

Jean has a lot of hair in that picture from the list. It's probably hard for her to ride go karts even with a helmet on.

[Goshin]

jean's hair grows an extra two feet when she's phoenix

[DeadXMan]

Nate's not dead.

[Samy]

Lol, Changeling beats out Banshee and Cypher? In what Bizarro world do these guys live?

[darknessatnoon]

I guess this means Kitty is not Dead.

Or she's not in the top ten.

People on the list I'm glad are dead (and who should never return):

Changeling
Josef
Caliban
Thunderbird
Phoenix

Petra and Sway should be on the list.

[Prodigy55]

WOW really, Changeling? I didn't even know he was an X-Man until this list.

Wallflower should be #1. Phoenix isn't actually dead.

[jester1436]

Thank you, Ben Morse. <3<3

This is an interesting list, but seems kind of... off.

It's always been obvious that Kitty wasn't dead. Being magically bonded to a gigantic space bullet is totally different.

I feel like Revanche deserves a place over Rusty. Not that I dislike Rusty, but she seems more like an actual X-Man than he does.

[jester1436]

WOW really, Changeling? I didn't even know he was an X-Man until this list.

Wallflower should be #1. Phoenix isn't actually dead.

Wallflower will be the new Uncle Ben, sorry.

[Sighphi]

The intern who put this together is going to get in toruble.

[Justin K.]

Chengeling and Nate Grey should not be in this list.

[Prodigy55]

Wallflower will be the new Uncle Ben, sorry.

lol, I'd hope they'd remember her for that long... and put her in movies and alternate universes!

[Goshin]

changeling only lasted 3 issues and nobody knew it was him


and joseph? he was crap!


x-man should have died when AoA ended


the only reason those lames made the list is because all the good x-men like psylocke, colossus etc always come back

[coveredinbees]

Nate was the best thing to come out of AoA.

[darknessatnoon]

I liked Rusty, but I'm glad he's dead. The whole Rusty/Skids pairing was too much of a What If Sue and Johnny Storm Were Dating.

[Goshin]

Nate was the best thing to come out of AoA.


actually holocaust was but they took an omega-level powerful villain and tossed him into limbo.....


at least he killed rusty

[coveredinbees]

Holocaust was only interesting when he was under someone else's control. Nate was always charming.

[jester1436]

I liked Rusty, but I'm glad he's dead. The whole Rusty/Skids pairing was too much of a What If Sue and Johnny Storm Were Dating.

Can you imagine what Claremont could have done with that? Hmmm, there's always "X-Men Forever."

[jester1436]

Holocaust was wretched.

I'm glad Hyperion snorted him like a line of coke in "Exiles."

[blinkinrogue]

holocaust is dead, currently in king hyperion's digestive system...

[Washout]

I understand why Changeling made the list. He was the first X-man to die, technically. I like him, so I'm cool with it, but other people should be higher.

I think Thunderbird should be number 1 on this particular list because he is the classic "dead X-man."


I also wish Stacy X were on it. . . just for fun.

[SayOcean]

Where is SKin

[Grapeweasel]

I count 3 actual X-Men....

[Faded]

DISLIKE

Changeing and X-Man? WBFever.

[Whim]

I don't want Joseph, Cypher, Thunderbird or Changeling back. Rusty, Nate, Jean and Banshee would be welcome though. Nate was the coolest thing from the AoA. As for Holocaust he was jobbed out too easily with what happened with Onslaught. He would of been a lot better just becoming a horseman of Apocalypse here to, and taken as a serious threat.

[Joe Acro]

There's only five X-Men on there, and one of them isn't even dead.

[marvell2100]

Being voted best dead guy isn't something to be proud of.

[Faded]

I'm counting six, seven if you count X-Man, X-Men, but I don't think it really matters.

I think they're using "X-Men" as a blanket term like people often do.

I wonder if Kyle/Yost intend to do to Changeling what they did to Vanisher--make him fun in a new way and perhaps give him some kind of uncontrolled cellular growth.

[RolandJP]

I'm glad Synch made a top ten list somewhere.

[MarvelGirlBoy]

Och Moira isn't really dead then!

[coveredinbees]

Och Moira isn't really dead then!
It's either that or it's this:
Occam Says: "Or it could be Marvel admitting that she sucks."

[Samy]

Well that went without saying, but the real question is spit or swallow.

What they didn't mention in that article was that Changeling already came back as a zombie during the She-Hulk's "X-Humed" storyline.

Of course, that would sorta cheapen it if he's back again...

[streator]

from this list i think we'll see the following characters brought back in necrosha:

caliban (already back)
cypher
banshee (maybe)
thunderbird

also, banshee's little bio thing is incorrect; he didn't save the people on the plane when he died; the blackbird crashed right into him & into the other plane, exploding.

[AcesX1X]

i think changeling is an interesting x-men. also, synch is the only other one on that list i'd like to see back. banshee was too old when he died.

[Naira K]

Joseph? Huh, is he that good?

[Talisman]

I guess this means Kitty is not Dead.
Just because you're trapped in a magic bullet doesn't mean your dead. It just means you like your sex toys way too much.

[Goshin]

did that stop xavier and magneto all those times?



bring back the protective jamaican colors!!

[AcesX1X]

did that stop xavier and magneto all those times?


nobody wants an old x-men, goshin! i would support a teenaged banshee, however. as long as he said "p'taetas" at least once an issue.

[Samy]

Lol, "too old"?

I guess only sexy 20-30 year old people should be heroes.

[darknessatnoon]

Lol, "too old"?

I guess only sexy 20-30 year old people should be heroes.

Which reminds me that Sammy the Squidboy should have made the list.

[Faded]

Lol, "too old"?

I guess only sexy 20-30 year old people should be heroes.

I agree.

Old geezers GTFO.

[Prodigy55]

We have to retcon Siryn out of existence, then we can make Banshee young again.

[Perfection/Emma 2]

I agree.

Old geezers GTFO.

Yes down with the Old People, they piss me off. Anyways am very upset that Wallflower, Petra, Sway, and Risque did not make the list

[Samy]

Incidentally Banshee is about Daniel Craig and Tom Cruise's age. Can't picture them as action heroes either.

[Bamf25]

YEAH!!!! Kitty is officially not dead, time to bring her back!

[Brother Justin Crowe]

Where is Skin? And am I really the world's only Maggot fan?

[bigbluntz]

Caliban, Banshee, Thunderbird and Jean should be the top four. Maybe I should go back and read Nate Grey!?!

[Psychic Illusion]

Oh how I miss phoenix, banshee, and synch.

I wish people would forget douglas was even alive. He is the worst x-character there is.

I lovved caliban, and I had no idea that death died. When did he perish?

As for morph (changeling), I enjoyed him in the animated series.

Not familar with rusty (heard his name a gazillion times, but never knew him.

Thunderbird........we have colossus and wolverine. We didn't need a combination.

Joseph, well he can stay dead with cypher.

[Faded]

Caliban died during Messiah Complex, taking a bullet? aimed at Warpath by the Reavers.

How could they resist including Stacy X, and making jokes about dead hookers?

[The Mirrorball Man]

They should just bring back X-Statix and be done with it.

OMG you have Irene Adler at #1 - so cool...:wink:
she could give a poetic explanation about her diaries... and a "hug" to Raven

hurm... a "hug" :tongue:

[Ryan W]

No love for Revanche, eh?

Lame list.

[Azure]

Come on, people!!!!

[timbox]

Come on, people!!!!

Petra and Sway!

[jarrod]

Ugh, Joseph? Really?

And why is Changeling top 5? Doug should be in there instead.

[darknessatnoon]

It's not Top Ten Dead X-Babies.
And what does "speaking every language ever" really contribute to a comic?

[jarrod]

It's not Top Ten Dead X-Babies.
I want to get that list more honestly.


And what does "speaking every language ever" really contribute to a comic?
Doug got more tail than Daken. He even made it with an alien.

Besides, getting killed instead of Wolfsbane > getting killed instead of Xavier.

Squidboy had greater storylines than Doug Ramsey. Plus, it was more interesting to see Juggernaut touching Sammy inappropriately than to see Psylocke molesting Doug.

Hi-Fi doesn't resemble Squidboy. Doug wins.

[Elijah Dexan]

It doesn't. Thats why I liked the character. Out of all the mutants we have ever read about you think more would have a non-combative power. Doug was one of the few doomed with an uncool power. He wasn't of much use, he tried to make the best of it, then he died.

Can't we all admire Doug's determination to be cool with such an uncool mutation?

[jarrod]

Doug was like the New Mutants' Sage. He just needed cyberlink glasses and a box of wine.

I guess that makes Warlock the New Mutants' Bishop.

[XaviersMisprint]

Marvel, really? Top 10 Dead X-Men? I'm sorry.

[coconutphone]

Marvel, really? Top 10 Dead X-Men? I'm sorry.

Considering a whole bunch are getting resurrected in a few months it's a perfectly timed discussion.

[pryde15]

Whoever made this list needs to get their shit together.

[AcesX1X]

what? try again, jarrod.

[Psychic Illusion]

The X-men that NEED to come back:

Phoenix
Banshee
Synch
Madylene Pryor (The REAL Maddie, not red queen)
MOIRA MCTAGGERT
Wallflower

The Villians that need to come back:

X-Ternal (Candra)
Catseye
Jetsream

[jarrod]

Catseye's NOT dead!


I think Moria works exceedingly well as a horny ghost. I wish MI:13 was still going and she was in it. :(

Tell me where Sharon is alive? I would love to believe that. She was way more awesome than that harlot tarot was.

[jarrod]

Well, she wasn't shown on panel at Fitzroy's Hellion luncheon iirc. Besides, given Sharon's history, it's easy to think she just morphed and ran off when the shit hit the fan. I'm sure she's slumming it up in some LES backalley as we speak...

LOL well, that could be a possibility....
