10 Most Powerful Characters Killed By Magneto

2. Professor Xavier

Ultimatum Magneto Kills Wolverine
Marvel Comics

On Earth-1610 - the Ultimate Universe - the Scarlet Witch was killed by Ultron when the villainous robot realized that she would never love him. After returning to his father’s side, Quicksilver is mortally wounded defending Magneto. Sometime later, a lightning storm suddenly appeared over the skies of New York City and a tidal wave flooded Manhattan, killing millions. Sue Storm was able to push the wall of water back out to sea but the effort put her into a coma.

It is revealed by Professor Xavier that Magneto is behind the disaster and he is in control of Thor’s hammer Mjolnir. A number of heroes try to save as many people as they can. Jessica Drew saves May Parker, Kitty Pryde faces racism while trying to save a subway train full of people, and Hawkeye and Giant-Man discover the Blob eating the dead body of the Wasp.

In Ultimatum #2, at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, Magneto confronts Professor Xavier. Erik tells Charles that the deaths of his children merely opened his eyes to the fact that humans were on a steady decline, spreading disease, war, famine, and ecological ruin to the world. Magnus refers to what he did as akin to the Flood in the Bible, and Xavier tells him that he is not God and would be remembered instead as a monster. An enraged Magneto snapped Charles Xavier’s neck, killing him.
