History TearJerker / UltimateXMen2001

* Issue #41 of the is the second part of a series called "New Mutants". It breaks from the previous issue (which showed people in New York protesting against the Xavier School of Gifted Youngsters) by following a young teenager who wakes up one morning to find that no one is around. He goes downstairs, and his family is gone. He walks outside and there are people on his street, ''who spontaneously explode when he turns away''. He goes to school, meets his friends, and then his friends ''vaporize in front of him''. Frightened out of his mind, he runs into a cave. He is surprised to see Wolverine, who has been waiting for him. Logan gives the kid a can of beer, and explains to him over the last half of the issue that his mutant power has manifested itself when he hit puberty the night before: ''the ability to destroy organic matter''. This is the final exchange of the book:

* The Ultimatum Event is on long TraumaCongaLine and Tearjerker event. Many of the most loving and sweetest X-Men die pointless random deaths, with Jean Grey telepathically recalling themselves enjoying themselves in their last moments. Then Professor Xavier ends up murdered by Magneto and, as emphasized by Rogue in the page image when she finds Xavier dead, you realize things will never be the easy for mutantkind from this point on again. Even after all is said and done, Jean Grey ends up burying all of her dead teammates and destroys the mansion as a final farewell.

* The story of Dave, a hapless mall security guard with nothing going on for him in his hometown life who meets a beautiful woman named Karen Grant and becomes her boyfriend. Only later it's revealed Karen Grant is actually a disguised Jean Grey, who ends up tracked down by the Brotherhood after he mistakenly posts a picture of them together online. He ends up dying by being disemboweled at the hands of Sabretooth, and spends his last moments pleading for his now-discovered mutant girlfriend to get to safety.

** There shouldn't have been any beer to drink (or food to eat) if the kid destroys organic matter, or much in the way of clothing left behind either unless polyester and such are just THAT popular in his town.

* Quicksilver's death in Vol 3 is certainly heartbreaking as he spends the last moments of his life after being critically injured by Ultimate Kang speeding off to confess his sins and apologies in front of the grave of his sister Wanda, the one person he ever truly loved, before dying himself.

* The father of the married couple killing his daughter with a shotgun after receiving the news she was a mutant while Jean Grey was in their house with talking with them. The entire scene showed the prejudiced depths some people would go to against the mutant race.
