How he died: We've denigrated Young X-Man Dust in the past - and we stand by the opinion that her powers are a little silly - but that's not to say she's a complete write-off. Introduced during Grant Morrison's run on the New X-Men title, Sooraya Qadir was an Afghani mutant rescued by Wolverine and Fantomex from a slave owner. Well, we say rescued, she manages things pretty well on her own by turning into sand and flaying him alive. She did the same to Logan himself during the apocalyptic "End Of Days" flashforward that ended the brief Young X-Men series, where she's the sole survivor of a mutant colony called "Xaviera" and had decided that her kind are a plague upon the Earth, murdering Wolverine in cold blood alongside Emma Frost and team mate Graymalkin. Pretty harsh. How he came back: He didn't but, technically, this was just a flash forward at a possible future for the X-Men. One that involved Dust having the power to explode as well as turn into a breeze full of sand, which was pretty badass. She and Wolverine have been on much better terms in the present day, as Sooraya chose to join his team during the Schism storyline (which is long and complex and not worth getting into right now) and later dropping out to live on mutant space colony Utopia, as a recruit with the X-Men Street Team, with Logan's blessing. Aw, all well that ends well. So long as she doesn't go off him again in the future, anyway...
