The Many, Many Deaths Of The X-Men At The Hellfire Gala (XSpoilers)

Welcome to the Hellfire Gala. Marvel Comics' big release is Oppenheimer and Barbie in one movie. Because it's time to start killing X-Men. 

Welcome to the Hellfire Gala. You won't survive the experience. Keep an eye on the Hellfire Gala tag on Bleeding Cool as we dive into Marvel Comics' big release, like Oppenheimer and Barbie in one movie, because it's time to start killing X-Men.

The Five are off the board. There are no Krakoan resurrection protocols to engage. When mutants die now, that's it. Orchis has attacked Krakoa from the off, and everyone is dying. From the first blow of Nimrod…

Talon seems to rescue Synch, but that's a legless Cannonball, an armless Dazzler, and a liquidised Prodigy. Jubilee and Frenzy are right there. And why Negasonic Teenage Warhead has a great name… (UPDATE: Damn Hellfire Gala and their costumes, of course, its Jubilee)

…Nimrod has a more brutal punch. Nimrod, like The Fury, has programs to take down all manner of mutants.

Melting Iceman to his core. And taking on telepaths with robots, like Moira Mactaggert X.

Not that a blade will take down Jean Grey, Omega Mutant telepath and telekinetic of the highest order.

But one coated with Blightswill may do the trick. Cyclops may have survived his fall from the Treehouse in New York, but that gives Jean Grey the chance to say goodbye.

And Charles Xavier had a chance to cry to the heavens.

Nasty stuff that Blightswill. And Charles Xavier's attempt to use his own psychic abilities to persuade Mystique backfire nastily…

And some are claimed even on their way out…

Lourdes, whose death was faked by Emma Frost, now returning to the grave after a heroic act of self-sacrifice in Emma's arms. With all these mutants dying (and many more to come, it seems), there needs to be one blow returned against one of the earliest X-Men, now turned traitor.

Moira Mactaggert is down. Permanently. Oh yes, and there's another traitor to talk about soon…
