There’s an Instagram Profile that posts X-Men deaths – and it’s the Best thing you’ll see all day!
In this Article:
There’s an Instagram who posts the most brutal deaths of X-Men characters across the entire 60 year history of the X-Men. And it’s pretty much the best thing you’ll see all day.
Whether you love or loathe X-Men, you cannot deny the obvious effect the X-titles have had on Marvel’s history. Not to mention, the history of comics altogether. While X-Men has spawned various incarnations of everyone’s favourite mutants. Not to mention a whole host of X-teams. The one constant that all X-Men fans are well aware of: X-Men is one big superhero soap opera.
By now we’re well aware of the daytime soap operas that plague our screens. Days of our Lives, Young and the Restless, Bold and the Beautiful… Please don’t make me go on!
Like those timeless soap operas, X-Men is full of interpersonal relationships, affairs, emotional breakdowns, et al. But what one moment defines a soap opera more than those weekly sordid affairs? The deaths of your favourite character!
For a while now, there’s been a certain Instagram account that’s been on my radar because of its simple dogmatic pursuit of one thing: posting deaths about the X-Men.
And I’m not talking about quintessential deaths of the most popular X-Men out there. I’m talking about the B, C and D List characters. The guest stars. Some memorable. Some obscure. The owner of this profile could put together a book on the ‘Deaths of X-Men Characters.’
So, without further ado…
