When Nightcrawler sacrificed himself to save Hope and using the last of his strength to teleport her back to Utopia. then telling her not to give up. Heart wrenching :(

The Silver Samurai isn't Mariko's father, he's her half-brother. DO YOU EVEN COMICS BRO!?

List doesn’t include Madrox absorbing his own son because his powers recognised him as a dupe, list is therefore wrong.

Jean forcing Cyclops to kill her before Dark Phoenix resurfaces... Where?

Gambit & Rouge kissing into Age of Apocalypse is still perfectly haunting

How can you possibly leave out the death of Jean Grey? I mean, the first time (I really wish I didn't have to say that, >sigh

When the animated series was canceled. That was heart wrenching.

“The series has always had a lot in common with soap opera drama...” That’s supers comics in general.

About Cypher, the entire point of him (and the New Mutants in general) was that they weren't a team optimized for maximum battlefield utility; they were kids going to school, and they also had powers that led them into assorted adventures. Cypher's language ability was often useful, and part of the fun was telling stories about the New Mutants that were not standard battles against supervillains.

The silver samurai wasn't Mariko's father, he was her half brother

Jean grey sacrifices herself on the moon. Nightcrawler gets impaled in Second Coming The issue of Ultimate X-Men where Wolverine shares a beer with a young mutant in a cave, then stabs him in the chest. Ilyana dies with a Bamf doll in her arms

It's not just that they have Black Tom kill Sammy Paré aka Squid Boy, it's the way Black Tom kills him. I don't think Black Tom could've killed him in a more painful way even if he tried, and he did it in front of Juggernaut. Then having Sammy tell Juggernaut he hates him, and to me that moment is the cherry on top of a misery sundae. I still find it still very much gets to me and I read this story arc when it was first published in 2004.

When X-23 lay beside her dead mother after learning her name

Wolverine killing Jean in New X-men #148 Magnetos betrayal from 147-149 the death of the hellions (not new xmen) the death if genosha. Grant Morrison really put it on in his run

Dudes... Striker is a reverend when introduced in God Loves, Man Kills

Everyone: Jean Grey sacrifices herself for her team members and let go of Phoenix after the Ress... WhatCulture: CYCLOPS KILLS XAVIER IS THE MOST HEARTBREAKING MOMENT IN 616 X-MEN!

Making Iceman gay was a stupid idea. The reason he was exposed as mutant was because he was saving his girlfriend. They could have at least made him bisexual that would have made more sense.

Breakworld is not a team. It is literally a world.

Nightcrawler’s death after saving hope summers. It’s sad to see Wolverine blame hope for Kurt’s death

Wait why is no. 2 heartbreaking moment?

Illyana Rasputin's death from the Legacy Virus always hit home for me.

The whole Iceman coming out thing felt cheap to me. An easy out to get more readers because they didn't have faith in their existing gay characters to sell comics.

Number One: Marvel Selling The Movie Rights

#11 Psylocke losing her ninja thong. So many tears when this happened.

You guys put that God awful Iceman retcon as number 2?!? Seriously?!?

Cable sacrificing himself at the end of X-cutioner's Song

Wolvie did the kid in a super-sad Ultimate x-men #41 Caliban at the end of Uncanny Annual 18 is another that got me

Okay, this list started out strong and then you just dropped the ball. How is Iceman coming out as gay heartbreaking, unless it's because of the terrible writing involved? You left off Nightcrawler getting killed protecting Hope, Mariko breaking up with Logan because she thinks she's not worthy, Magneto and Storm thinking he killed Kitty, and the list goes on. But the MOST heartbreaking moment is when Jean decides it is better to die a human than live as a god-like entity who would probably eventually kill everyone she loves.

Wolverine killing Daken. The way that was written and the panels were just do expertly done to convey the pain in Wolverine for having to do what he did.

Professor x hasn't died any where near as many times as Jean. Just saying

It never sat right with me how in Old Man Logan they made him powerful enough to single-handedly kill the entire X-Men team. I love wolverine, but it annoys me how OP they make him just to suit a story.

She had a name, you British nerds. Mariko Yashida.

William Stryker was always a reverend in the comics. They made him military in the movies to avoid losing money in ticket sales from religious movie fans who might feel offended by the character.

Kitty Pryde wasn’t dead in the bullet, she was trapped.

So many good moments mentioned in the video and in the comments...but the one moment that always stuck with me was the 2 issue LS run adjacent to Ghost Box, Astonishing X-Men. A crippled Wolverine, a mentally handicapped Beast, Armor as the caretaker moving them through a broken, dead world. When the futility of survival comes to a head, she kills Beast and sets a fire beneath Wolverine, eventually killing him too. Then wanders off to starve to death. Couple that with the whole "Infinite Cyclops's suiciding to power a planet" and it was a tough read.

Blatant omissions: Suicide of Phoenix? Death of Jean Grey? Thunderbird’s death? Illyana’s death? Cyclops having to send his toddler to the future to save his life? Mariko leaving Wolverine at the alter? The deaths in the original Days of Future Past storyline? The mutant massacre? The slaughter of Genosha?

Isn't the silver samurai Mario's brother, not her father?

turning over the last page of 'age of apocolypse' and realising that it wouldn't be a continued series...i havn't read a comic since

#2 Was heartbreaking for the wrong reasons: it breaked out hearts that Marvel greenlighted such a BS retcon like that.

I think every one that died on your list came back to life. Kinda makes death rather blaze in Marvel Comics.

the mutant massacre and gambit basically being banished when the team found out about it

Xavier was so irrelevant by the time of AvX that his death hardly felt like anything.

Heartbreaking moment ? "the end" of Inferno saga when Madelyn Pryor ( as the Goblyn Queen ) died

5:55 Gotta point this out: Most of the characters shown stopping the bullet were hallucinating.

Striker was a reverend in the comics the whole time, you said the titles in the wrong order

definitely old man Logan for me but hearing about squid boy, DAMN!

There's about 14 gay X Men.... North star Blink Wolverine in that one timeline... But Iceman?!?!

10 - 3 was all I needed to see.

Cypher was supposed to be the everyman that the regular non powered reader could experience the story through.

Kitty never actually died, she used her powers to their fullest extent to phase the bullet through earth and got stuck inside it by doing so.

Dammn! Some of this moments got me crying all over again, thank you for that! Some moments I did not know so thank you for that to!! I guess what I am trying to say is thanks for the memories! lol

The death of Colossus damn near killed me because he's me favorite X-Men character of all time.😭

I absolutely love Kitty Pryde!!!

The death of Illyana Rasputin from Legacy Virus issue for top Heart breaking moment if not for The revolving door of death

The most heartbreaking moment in X-Men Marvel History was the suicide of Larry Bodine.

I want it to be known I left a dislike for the absurdity of the placement of Iceman's coming out. It's not only a matter of it being too high, it's that it shouldn't be on the list at all.

The death of the Greys

The end of the Onslaught saga. Xaviers speech to Franklin after the death of his family

Did you forget when Magneto pulled out all the metal out of Wolverine or when Professor X became Onslaught.

No more Mutants.

Oh heck you, we loved Cypher from like his third appearance on. :-P

I'd forgotten about squid boy... damn that's rough

Moira was trying to find a cure before she became sick. Her infection was not the cause of her efforts.

Shadowcat didn't die she became infused with the bullet. It was a few years later (probably a year in the comics) where Magneto rescued Shadowcat

Poor Kiity

😭😭😭😭😭😭

How in the world do you not include the death of jean grey and the death of illyana? Maybe get some guys who actually read comics to come up with these lists.

It is hard to keep a touching moment with the murders...cause all of them were brought to live again!!! Except for mariko

Lol bobby coming out wasnt sad. It was stupid in the way they did it.

Shocked you didn’t mention the time a kid accidentally killed his entire town using his mutant power

No, the Iceman solo series was NOT amazing. Never trust when a telepath whispers life-altering secrets in your ear...

Nobody cared when Xavier died. #CyclopsWasRight

Wolvie and Mariko💔💔💔💔

For such a somber video on such a somber subject the music seems like almost the direct opposite in the background. So odd......

No mention of the mutant Dennis Hopper being murdered in front of the X-Mansion in _X-Men Prime_ at all? Shameful.

*Number 1:* Deadpool has said the N-Word in front of Wolverine and fades away.

Also the 90’s cartoon the last episode

Uncanny X-men 137 the end had me in tears

8:14 😮😲😱☠️⚰️ I'd heard but dang! 😔

So Warlock dying during the early part of The X-tinction Agenda doesn't make the list? Kids these days...smh

It's Mystique not Mistique.

Number 2: Cmon naw dawg smh

Cyclops was right And I nearly cheered when he killed Xavier.

Duncan is my name

The ending of Logan. Do I need to say anything more?

0:42 😂😂😂

This was so poorly researched... Silver Samurai was not Mariko's father, as others have said. Moira was not Xavier's love. They were former lovers who had long broken up - before the founding of the X-men, even - but had remained friends/colleagues afterward. She and Banshee were the ones in the on-and-off relationship throughout her appearances in the comics. There's tons of sadder moments not listed here. How about Madeline Pryor's complete mental breakdown and psychic fever dream following the reveal that she was nothing but a clone of Jean Grey, genetically engineered just so that her womb could be used to incubate a child with Jean and Scott's DNA? She finds out she's not a person, believes no one cares about her, and loses everything; her husband, child, sanity, and finally, her life.

I am an XMAN!!

Mariko. Pronounced similarly to Mahr-eek-oh/Mah-reek-oh. Not "Marie co".

Bro so much of this is straight up wrong. First of all Doug was never just a side character if you read New Mutants he was actually a main character for a lot of it. He was a crucial part of the team it’s just some fans at the time thought he was lame. Second of all Rahne was not Doug’s girlfriend I don’t even think they had any romantic connection at all. And third Doug was not a coward in my reading at least he was always trying to get in on the action and was distracted and insecure cause his abilities were non-offensive. Also Silver Samurai is not Mariko’s father

It’s Mystique, not Mistique.

How did none of Jean Grey’s death make this list????

Charles Xavier has not died in the comics as many times as you make it sound. In fact, showing film deaths confuses the issue - the list is about the comics, not films - so why show the films? In the mainstream reality, Xavier has died twice: Xavier faked his death in X-Men #42, and he was actually killed in Legion Quest (which was undone by the end of Age of Apocalypse). Not counting times when he was killed in storylines that were almost immediately undone (Secret Wars 1984, Infinity Gauntlet, etc.)

I like the Marvel vids , but maybe make a DC one again!

So many errors and omissions in this video (what I’ve pointed out and others). It really is a shame.

damn

So breakworld is a team.. Great comic book knowledge..

kitty never died

So iceman is gay out of nowhere what the hell

i still maintained bobby coming out wasn't sad at all but bullshit and stupid.
