10 Most Heartbreaking X-Men Moments In Comics History
5. Kitty Pryde's Sacrifice
Colossus wasn't the only noble X-Men character to sacrifice his life to save others. His long time girlfriend, Kitty Pryde, was another. It all started when Shadowcat and the Astonishing X-Men were met face to face with a vicious team called Breakworld.
The evil team launched a missile to destroy the earth. The X-Men split up to try and stop it. Kitty, meanwhile, was appointed with the task to stop the missile herself.
Pryde decides that the only way to stop the missile is for her to use her powers to phase herself inside of the bullet to stop it from the inside. In attempting to do so, she discovers the missile was empty. She later learned the hard way that Breakworld's missile wasn't actually a missile. It was a bullet.
Dr. Strange and Marvel's top men tried their best to safe her, but it was too late. Shadowcat had died.
