* In the final battle between the X-Men and the Shi'Ar Imperial Guard, [[TheHighQueen Empress Lilandra]] and [[TheMentor Charles Xavier]] are watching from a ship in orbit. As the X-Men lose [[CurbStompBattle more and more battles]], Xavier's grief and horror grow ever deeper, and Lilandra wishes like anything she could console the man she loves, but since they're technically on opposite sides of this conflict, she can only watch and try not to cry while anyone's watching.

* Jean's death. Both in the moments leading up to, and after the energy blast that disintegrates her, it's quiet, it's sad and you just get the feeling that it's so... ''unfair''.
** Jean's story in general. By far one of the nicer members of the team, a young woman searching for her place in a world that despises her just for being born "different", is suddenly given the powers of a god, then almost dies, then she's manipulated by the Hellfire Club for their benefits, and finally all the different experiences take a toll on her, eventually letting the Phoenix force overtake her.

''unfair''. Even more so that Jean herself felt that she needed and ''deserved'' to die for what she had done to the D'Bari as Dark Phoenix, and what she might yet do if the Phoenix force were to ever overtake her again.
