Which of these X-Men will die? Place your bets!
As you may have seen over on the Mothership, Marvel Comics has issued a teaser for X-Force #26, in which they promise “to save the world, one of these X-Men shall die.” Curious as to who it might be? So are we! We’ll give some speculation and clues as to who we think might bite the big one in Second Coming.
Colossus: The big steel lug would be a lock on this deadpool (get it? A-hah)… except for the fact he’s already killed himself once for mutantkind. Odds: 100 to 1.
Magik: Unless they’ve changed Kitty Pryde’s costume for this event, this looks like Magik to us. She’s certainly expendable — she holds a place in the X-Men’s collective hearts after perishing from the Legacy Virus. Odds: 60 to 1
Iceman: Now this would be an interesting choice. He’s a character that’s been largely underutilized in the past few years, but he’s also a founding X-Man. Odds: 40 to 1.
Angel: So why not Angel? There’s a number of reasons I don’t think he’ll be shuffling off this mortal coil — namely, the fact that he’s been in the recent X-Force book. Odds: 50 to 1.
Emma Frost: Remember when dating Scott Summers was a sign that you were a goner for sure? Whatever happened to that? Surprisingly, I think Emma’s closeness to Cyclops might be her salvation in this series — it’s gotten expected. Odds: 25 to 1.
Nightcrawler: Elf! Say it ain’t so! I got a bad feeling for anyone who’s a fan of the X-Men’s longtime teleporter. Odds: 10 to 1.
Cable: Hoo boy. If Cable survives this fight, I will be extraordinarily surprised. His latest series — which has its final issue this week — ran on the premise of his protecting the mutant messiah Hope through a gauntlet of time-traveling dangers. Odds: 5 to 1.
