So who else is completely ticked at how they just decided to kill off, yet again, another character. Plus he is just a teen. There was no character development with him. I saw some potential in him. I really wanted to know more about him, what he's made out of; and what's with the helmet head? I just think that during this Necrosha event, the creators just needed someone to die so they could keep readers interested. At least they should of kill off one of the reformed villains staying on Utopia instead of Onyxx. What do you guys think?

I always just saw him as being the other Rockslide. I won't miss him, didn't even know he died till John Valentine mentioned it.

I just thought that if you're going to kill off a character do it to someone that has meaning to the death, not just some random teen.

I miss Swordsman. He was kinda cool and then Norman just stabs him and throws him out a window. WTF?

" I just thought that if you're going to kill off a character do it to someone that has meaning to the death, not just some random teen. "

Onyxx only mattered for like...one story arc when he fell for Mystique when she was Foxx or whatever. He didn't do anything else important other than be Bling!'s sidekick. I wouldn't mind if Bling! died, too, but she's definitely a deeper character, IMO.

The should have killed off one of the reformed villains? What, like Diamond Lil? Other writers have only recently started to use Onyxx, but even then he was still a background character. No-one seemed interested in writing an actual personality for him other than someone who sulked & hung around Bling! a lot. So while I'm sad to see yet another kid from the Institute wasted before there wer any attempts to develop his character... I'm also not that bothered to see a secondary Rockslide go the way of the school bus.

I think Diamond Lil was a mistake. Especially when Mad Jeff could've rekindled their relationship. But I agree that Onyxx does look like a second Rockslide and also hangs around Bling! to much but still you'll never know if he would've become a great character.

He was like an even lamer Rockslide..... 
Also, the Fox thing was hilarious, hahaha. Only memorable point in his existence. 

Another Xavier Institute student dead. Who do you think will be next?

Hopefully either Bling! or Pixie. "

Pixie I can stand but Bling!, I think her time has come.

Oh, Ink, Greymalkin and Cipher can die too.

" @John Valentine: I thought Ink died at the end of Young X-Men?  Greymalkin & Cipher... if they don't start doing something more interesting soon, then yeah.  Nuke them too. "

 I admit that Onyxx has been poorly used and was mainly a copy of Rockslide now that i flipped back through the New X-Men run. I think they should have continued the New X-Men run, it was getting so interesting. They could've gone forward with that series and explored other students backgrounds and histories. The Young X-Men was a total mistake. Ink and Greymalkin...Yuch!    

It was too bad that Onyxx had to die, i liked him. I was waiting for him to get a bigger role in the X-Men universe

I remain unfazed by his death. In fact when I heard he died, my only response was, "At least they did not kill someone important".

I agree totally! They could have taken the new x-men and expanded the roster, explored different backgrounds, and made new story arcs. The lack of progression in the new x-men characters amazes me. Now they are just being used as fillers instead of actual x-men. The core team of x-men have astonishing x-men, the black ops team has x-force, the old "new" mutants have the new mutants, and the rest of mutant-kind, mainly the students, are being thrown into the background of uncanny x-men: NOT COOL! We need the new x-men book back! :(

Honestly I think it was at random. I'm pretty sure the writers lined up the X-Students and just wanted to kill one of them off for the hell of it. Onyxx just got unlucky.

I honestly thought you weretalking about pokemon

Does someone have the actual picture of Wither touching him and Onyxx going to pieces? I would have gotten the comic but I'm a little short on cash atm.

He was better than Rockslide.  He had a quirky story instead of being an irrelevant and cliched jock.

It's unfortunate that we didn't get to know more about him.

@papad1992: I never really knew Onyxx, but I think he deserved better than to be killed off, he was like a stranger-looking version of the The ever lovin' blue-eyed Thing! And not in a bad way! I agree that he might be better off being brought back.
