During an arguement in Kurt's private laboratory, Cain accused Kurt of having a hand in Brian Xavier's "accidental" death at the disaster at Alamagordo. Kurt was quick to be steadfast in defending himself, taking Cain by the collar of his coat and yelling at him to "never say that again." Xavier was stationed outside the door, however, and overheard the convseration. When Cain realized, he intended to cause a ruckus by destroying some of his father's chemical experiments, throwing a vial of green liquid that caused similar containers to shatter, spilling the chemicals throughout the laboratory. The collision of the different substances caused a violent explosion that left the lab aflame. Kurt made his last act possibly the most unselfish one of his life, carrying his son and stepson to safety before dying of his own mortal wounds. In his dying words, Kurt begged forgiveness for not saving Brian Xavier when he had the chance, and telling Charles to keep his powers secret from Cain. Cain was standing over, however, and heard of Charles' gift. Although dying for a noble cause of saving Charles and Cain, with the knowledge of Charles' ability, a violent rivalry would be strong between the two stepbrothers for many years.

Kurt Marko's death

During an argument in Kurt's private laboratory, Cain accused Kurt of having a hand in Brian Xavier's "accidental" death at the disaster at Alamogordo. Kurt was quick to be steadfast in defending himself, taking Cain by the collar of his coat and yelling at him to "never say that again." Xavier was stationed outside the door, however, and overheard the conversation. When Cain realized, he intended to cause a ruckus by destroying some of his father's chemical experiments, throwing a vial of green liquid that caused similar containers to shatter, spilling the chemicals throughout the laboratory. The collision of the different substances caused a violent explosion that left the lab aflame. Kurt made his last act possibly the most unselfish one of his life, carrying his son and stepson to safety before dying of his own mortal wounds. In his dying words, Kurt begged forgiveness for not saving Brian Xavier when he had the chance, and telling Charles to keep his powers secret from Cain. Cain was standing over, however, and heard of Charles' gift. Although dying for a noble cause of saving Charles and Cain, with the knowledge of Charles' ability, a violent rivalry would be strong between the two stepbrothers for many years.
