Legendary Marvel Character Dies in AVENGERS VS X-MEN #11

So, this is like the third time Chuck has died (does losing your body to a Brood count if it does then fourth time) and every previous occasion has been a fraud, so this will be no different,

Xavier was just making cameos b4 AvX in last couple years anyways..

tho im really interested to see how the F*CK Emma and Magneto will be together with Cyclops after this?! unless that teaser cover was to mess up our minds bout whats what...

no way in hell Scott gets redemption straight after AvX

who cares? professor Xavier is a JERK!

on another note, couldnt hope just use her power mimicking to heal him up? or is this one of those convenient moments when elixir is knocked out or ina coma, or some other crap?

Im cool with marvel doing events. Events are just regular stories with bigger marketing. In past marvel has done some brilliant events like house of M and civil war which not only where well written and generally exciting to read but also had consequences such as mutant de-powerment and dark reign etc.

But it feels like now in particular the last 2 big events have been to formulaic. it's insulting to reader. its the conclusions which are become so dull now, i generally don't feel any excitement out of getting to end of an event, i just feel bored and want to get it over and done with.

This has basically been marvel formula for the events, i think they perfected it at the end of seige and are now running it into the ground.

• A Big Character Dies (Secret Invasion - Wasp, Seige - Sentry, Fear Itself - Thor, AvX - Professor x)
• Marvel make promises that this will have a big effect on all the character (Which it never does...)
• Shoe Horn in "the watcher" to suggest it was important (yes it was cool when millar did it for the first time, now its boring)
• Marvel being the large marketing of what comes after the event (HEROIC AGE, Shattered Heroes, MARVEL NOW)
• everything return to normal for 6 issues then a new event is teased. (That Infamous Avengers issues #5 with the timeline)

but if emma frost is dead then good, she was awful, she's never been a good character and never deserved to be on the x-men.

marvel if your gonna do an event please mix it up! Make it exciting! don't give me this dull story telling.

Who's charlies xavier?

BB

Lets hope he stays dead.

DAMN!!!

seriously, this was expected. the surprise is who wound up doing it. no one should blame scott for his death since he has the phoenix is inside him, except for scott himself. marvel will probably have him locked up, or run away on some self help vision journey to find himself. plus he is not the first hero to kill. wolverine does it all the time, yet he is the headmaster, and he was originally sent to xavier to kill him.

..ugh.

Charles dies? Who cares, that's marvel. Death is worthless. I love Cyclops' character the last few years. All the people poo pooing cyclops, with the exception of being under the phoenix, have missed out on some great stories. May cyclops actually remain as interesting as he has been recently.

Cold hard fact: Whether you like it or not, or whether your willing to believe it or not, the world needs people like that asshole to get things done.

it's official Cyclops is a f**king douschebag for life

OH MY GOD!!!

SPOILERS

he took emmas PF. and she looks like shes dying.

Cyclops has finally embraced the Dark Side...

But seriously, why Cyke, why?

what took away from this, and it had the potential to be really poetic and terrific, was the fact xavier died a few years ago at the end of messiah complex. granted they brought him back a few weeks later saying he never died blah blah, but unless he stays uncle ben style dead (which is massively doubtful) then this meant the same as his previous death; nothing.

Freaking bingo, Scottman22!

And Magneto was melted...but just a little

Tempo is going to save him again :P

really? again? i was starting to enjoy the X-books really only because of him. screw you Marvel.

Yea....he'll be back.....

I wish Marvel and DC would kill off characters and make them stay dead as there should be new heroes replacing the old as kinda like a generational thing.

Seriously, it's time to clean house at Marvel , i grow tired of these horrible storylines ,inconsistant artwork,and continual character slander. Fire them all to hell.This has truly gotten out of hand the last decade and a half. It's not just the Cyclops/Professor thing ,that has driven me to say this, it's to whole Marvel scope and things to come especially in November. Enough is enough!

Again?

WOW! Hey, he did get shot in the head during Messiah Complex though so we can't get to sad yet. I really haven't seen him be relivant to any story line in something like two yrs now. Hell Magneto has been more significant to the X-Men tha Xavier has been. Someone at Marvel has major wood for Cyclops these days and it's betting kinda old for me.

Predictable out come.

'Meh' art.

Negligible significance in the long run.

Yop looks like the Marvel copy-paste event machine is still running smoothly.

I hope Cyclops dies at the end of the series. He's always been the most boring of the X-Men.

Psh, please, who cares

In my opinion, Charles Xavier wasn't having any kind of impact story wise for the last few years. He's probably gonna serve the advancement of the New X-Men as being dead.

As with any deaths in the Marvel universe anyway, he'll probably be back later, either they go back in time, pull him from another parallel universe, make a pact with the devil or some other astral entity.

Deaths in Marvel are only a temporary setback :P

meh, Love the art though.

Quite frankly, I wasn't shocked with the death scene. It was predictable and disappointing

I really like the art. I expected the stupid writing and decisions, but the art is fantastic.

noooooooooooooooooo not good ol charlie boy :'(

Xavier died in the end of Messiah Complex for... less than 1 month?

He will be back soon.

Unless you are Gwen Stacy or Uncle Ben, Marvel will resurrect you.

Yeah, not really a big deal. Marvel has not known what to do with the Professor X character for years. The character has floundered as the have milked the "maybe he was not such a good guy" thing for too long. Perhaps if they had killed him when the character has some resonance this would have been effective. Also since it is happening in what is predominantly viewed as a mediocre at best crossover, it lacks impact.

Otherwise it seems like a calculated, well we had to kill someone, ennie meenie minee moe. Plus as other have said he will be back shortly. He has died about as many times as he has been crippled and uncrippled.

For how long?

I'm shocked at this, it's really something I didn't expect. I geuss that's the point of it.

Cyclops has always been the second biggest a$$ hole in the Marvel universe (only behind Reed Richards, who has regularly beat Sue Storm).

Chris Claremont has already stated that because of Cyclops' abandonment of his wife and son in X-factor, he can never be considered a hero. This only drives the final nail in the coffin firmly in place.

He will be back sooner or later ... like every important Marvel character.

I'm not sure how I feel about this... I was really hoping for an Xavier/Magneto ongoing from Marvel Now.

Oh wait, it was Changling again.

omahgah!

Not Xavier!!!!

Cyclops is such a d*ck.

My dislike for Cyclops is now bigger than ever. But it's Marvel how many times have Prof X been death or close to, he will return in time.

Congratulations, Marvel. You thrown years and years of the X-Men fighting for co-existence with mankind down the drain.

DIE DIE DIE

Coipel sure knows how to draw.

It's not like they were using him in any of the 100 X books anyways.

@G-Man said:

These pages don't do the scene justice.

agreed...also Uncanny X-men #18 goes perfectly with this issue

@Billy Batson said:

Can't stop laughing.
BB

Made me lol.

it kind of makes sense. they were hardly using him except for a few cameos here and there. probably thought 'f it lets kill chuck'.
