"One Will Die..." In X-Men: Second Coming

What? An X-Men is going to die?!?

Last week we saw the question about who would be leading the X-Men in Second Coming.  The next "event" in the X-Men's world will begin with X-Men: Second Coming written by Christopher Yost and Craig Kyle with pencils and variant cover by David Finch.   
 
Today, Marvel has released another promo.  Get ready for this one: 

No Caption Provided
That's right, an X-Men will be dying.  Could this "one" be one of the three in the "Who Will Lead?" image?  Could this mean that either Cyclops, Emma or Magneto might be dying?  If so, we can assume that it's not Scott since he's being shown standing over an open grave.  With that look of anger on his face, we could assume it's Emma.  I'm not sure how upset he'd be over Magneto dying.  Or perhaps Marvel is simply teasing/fooling us? 
 
X-Men: Second Coming will be on sale on March 31 for $3.99.  Adi Granov will provide the cover.

Could it be Cyc? He has shown up in the future though. 
 
I hope its emma. Never ban a fan. 
 
But who knows marvel will kill them and bring them back, kill them and bring them back, kill them and bring them back and oh, they will probably kill them again.

It actually could be Cable… but I guess Cyclops' emo self would be that deeply and personally depressed about any x-person's death to be honest.  
I've gotta say I actually like Cyclops…… just not the way Fraction writes him. Joss Whedon made him remarkably likeable! I think if they keep Cyclops, which I hope they do and think they will, that Marvel should hire a decent writer for one of their flagship comics at least.  
 
I'm going to hedge my bets and guess: Cable or Iceman… I dunno, maybe he'll play a huge heroic part with these superduperpowers we keep being promised and never delivered?

Only ONE will die?  From April's solicitations there seems to be at least one New Mutant to fall in action...
 
If he's grieving over an open grave, then my money's on Emma.  Which would mean that Jean'll be just around the corner *yawn*

If it's Emma, I'm going to be f*****ing pissed off. Hopefully none of the original members( excepted Prof. X he can die) . Also somewhere I read, that one of the New Mutants is going to die during the Second Coming event.

A New Mutant during the chase and during the showdown a classic.  I think it will either be Cyke or Cable.

If a mutant is ACTUALLY going to die, I'm kinda hoping it'd be Magneto. What if the kill shot is meant for Prof X, but Magneto sacrifices himself? Remember when Magneto first arrived on Utopia, Xavier was quite hostile towards him....actually, that's pretty much been their relationship for years. It'd bring things full circle. Starting as friends, and ending as friends. 
 
Or, I guess, on the flip side, Xavier dies and we get an AoA type scenerio where Magneto takes Xavier's place.

Isn't everyone doing a bit of projecting? How can you tell he's grieving from that shot. He's just standing over a grave. Cover do tend to exaggerate quite a bit. More so when it comes to these event images.
 
Remember that Hope is the Mutant Messiah. Things hardly ever seem to end well for Messiahs. 
 
Fraction would have to be one sadistic nut case if he first makes it seem like Emma has betrayed, then traps her in diamond for for a while, then kills her.

I think that so many X-Men have died and come back down the road that people just laugh at it. If anything, these "deaths" are more retiring the character for a while to tell new stories. Cyclops has been at it for a while and I think his story has been told. Emma being dead would suck, she is still very interesting. I could understand Cable dying though, he seems the more likely considering how long he has been around and is from the future, so bringing him back isn't that hard. If anything we could possibly get a new "younger" Cable, not Nate Gray, coming back in time. I think that would be interesting and would be a different twist in the story of Cable.

I was actually thinking the same... It's probably Hope who dies in the end.  
 
but the Messiah diying is a little too obvious

Seeing as people seem to be opting towards Cable - How are sales of Cable's series?

Big deal. If its one of the main characters they'll jus comeback from the dead later and if its a minor one it wouldn't make a difference. I love Marvel comics but this somebody going to die never hooks me, because nobody of importance stays dead. When the killed Captian America I couldn't care less because I knew he'll be back leading the Avengers someday. These death story lines are really unoriginal usless Marvel and DC starts sticking to the out comes.

Death means nothing in comics anymore. Quentin Beck, Kraven the Hunter,  Bucky, Jason Todd and of course Norman Osborn have proven the old rules are no longer applicable.

 He is pissed because his son Cable died ...
 
Then again I could be wrong since the two kids he had with Jean in this time line seems to have vanished sometime in the 90ties.

Maybe Scott is thinking that someone will take his place as leader of the X-Men?  Magneto sacrificing himself for mutants...I could see that one.  Emma...well...we'll see. Cable?...Speculations, speculations...

I would think that maybe Hope would take over on the Cable series. Another idea is that maybe there will be a "new" Cable that is actually the son of Scott and Emma. How would their son be different and what powers would he have?
