Complete Guide To Every X-Men Character Who Returned After Death

15. Marrow

Marrow X-Men
Marvel Comics

How Did She Die?

Technically, Marrow wasn't an X-Man when she initially died, but considering her later membership, she warrants inclusion here. Marrow started out as a young upstart leader of a new band of terrorist Morlocks, calling themselves Gene Nation. They essentially made it their mission to go out and kill humans. Storm and her X-squad didn't take too kindly to that, and Storm ended up locked in a knife fight with Marrow - to the death.

The crazy little monster had a bunch of people strapped up with bombs, and somehow managed to attach the detonator to her own heart. The only way to stop Marrow was for Storm to cut out her heart, which Storm had no qualms about doing.

How Did She Come Back?

Due to her unique physiology, it was eventually revealed that - wait for it - Marrow has two hearts. Or rather, had. She made a pretty swift recovery, somehow, and went on to serve as an X-Man with distinction. Most recently she was embracing the darker side of heroics with Cable's X-Force squad.
