10 Times Superheroes Were Forced To Kill Other Heroes

8. Wolverine Kills Jean Grey

What’s the only thing worse than having to kill one of your teammates and love interests? Having to kill them while the entire human race is being wiped out a hundred miles below you, as is the case with Wolverine and Jean Grey at the end of the Planet X comic.

The entire storyline is one of the more hardcore ones – with folks being tortured and murdered on seemingly every other page – but of these, none are quite as heartbreaking as seeing a delirious and in-pain Grey be put down by an equally suffering Wolverine.

In another classic superhero twist, the two do end up alive again through some phoenix revival shenanigans. Although Jean is still aware that Logan killed her, which is sure to make for some awkward conversations down the line.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
