There are a lot of deaths that are just meaningless. One that stands out is Psylocke back in Xtreme X-Men. Killing her was just a cheep ploy to make the new villain, Vargas, seem like a threat. No one on the team even seemed to care other than the initial "Oh my god you killed Betsy" "You Bastard" reaction. Within a few issues the rest of the team seemed to have forgotten her. Meanwhile this brand new uber bad appeared in only a handful of issues in that series and was killed off panel years later.
