2) Banshee aka Sean Cassidy
Besides Madelyne Pryor, one of the first people to be blown away into oblivion was Banshee who also goes by another name, Sean Cassidy. During the attack by the powerful Sentinels Banshee lost his life and was seen flying away.
3) Gambit
The award for the most heroic death in X-Men '97 episode 5 goes to Gambit. In a moment of self-sacrifice and love for his people, Gambit offered himself as a casualty to save the others and get rid of the Sentinels.
When Gambit was in the clutches of the Sentinel group that had attacked the group of mutants he devised a plan. To execute his plan, Gambit, after getting caught by the Sentinel robot, supercharged himself and blew himself up. This resulted in the takedown of the majority of the Sentinel group but of course, Gambit lost his life to the act as well.
4) Magneto
Besides Gambit, another character of prominence who lost his life in X-Men '97 episode 5 was Magento. During an attack by the Sentinels, Magneto in an attempt to protect himself and the others creates a force field around him. However, the power of the attack is too much and Magento cannot withstand it. The blast engulfs him and he gets shattered into pieces.
5) Leech and the Morlocks
Leech and the Morlocks were also among the casualties of the war waged by the Sentinels. The sight was one of the most painstaking ones in X-Men '97 episode 5 because Magneto shared a special relationship with Leech and the Morlocks and vouched to protect them. However, they too lost their lives to the Sentinel attack.
