Leech

When the War of the Programs broke out between Brent Jackson, Sublime and the Director, Jackson decided the Neverland facility was a liability. Those mutants deemed potentially useful were relocated, while the rest were slaughtered by the mesmerized Agent Zero. The fate of Leech, a known prisoner of Neverland, remained unknown for some time. [Weapon X: Days of Future Now #3, November 2005]

The Decimaton brought a swift end to the War of the Programs, and many former detainees survived and escaped from Weapon X in the aftermath. Leech was confirmed among the survivors when he arrived at Xavier's School seeking sanctuary after M-Day. [X-Men: The 198 #1, March 2006]

Wild Child

During the "King of the hill" conflict orchestrated by Romulus, Wild Child crossed paths with Wolverine and Omega Red in a three-way brawl. While focusing on Wolverine, he was impaled on Red's coils and tossed into a vat of molten metal. [Wolverine Origins #39, October 2009]

Krakoan Resurrection Protocols. [Hellions #1, August 2020]
Shard

In the late 21st century, Shard was an officer with the X.S.E.  Acting upon a tip from Trevor Fitzroy, she invaded a site looking for rogue mutants, but instead fell into a nest of Emplates. The vampiric Emplates turned Shard into a creature like them, and she struggled to hold on to her humanity. Her brother, Bishop, brought her to the Witness. An experimental mnemonic hologram system preserved Shard's consciousness, but her physical body died in the procedure. [X.S.E. #4, February 1997]

Considered a "ghost in the machine" for years, Shard's interactive hologram matrix fell into the possession of Forge and X-Factor after Bishop went back in time. The holo-projector was destroyed in a battle with Bastion and Humanity's Last Stand, but Shard's personality survived as an independent, photonic lifeform. [Uncanny X-Men Annual '96, September 1996]

 

When Sabretooth revealed himself as a sleeper agent for the Hound program, he attacked Shard and his other teammates from X-Factor. Most of the team was brutally butchered by Creed, and Shard's holo-matter body was slashed open. She "de-rezzed" as her photonic form destabilized and finally dispersed, leaving no traces. [X-Factor (1st series) #136, August 1997]

Shard's holographic essence somehow remained linked to the body of Polaris, who she was passing through at the time Sabretooth attacked her. Shard's holographic body eventually reformed itself, emerging fully formed from within Polaris. [X-Factor (1st series) #141, January 1998]

 

Shard was used by Trevor Fitzroy, the Chronomancer, as a pawn in his private wart with her brother, Bishop. During the final conflict between the arch-nemeses, Shard sacrificed herself, allowing Bishop to power up by absorbing the photonic energy that made up her physical form, turning it into a bio-blast that finished off the Chronomancer. [Bishop: The Last X-Man #14, December 2000] 

 

Greystone

Unhinged by the time travel that brought his XUE team back to the present, Greystone attempted to construct a time machine to transport himself to the future. Instead, his device was little more than a miniature reactor and, while trying to disarm it, the device exploded while Greystone was at point blank range, killing him. [X-Factor (1st series) #149, September 1998]

Pip the Troll

Thanos of Titan cruelly destroyed Pip's mind to spite his nemesis and Pip's friend, Adam Warlock. With Pip left in an unblinking, unfeeling, vegetative state, Adam finished what Thanos had started by claiming Pip's soul with his Soul Gem. [Avengers Annual #7, May 1977]

Thanos and Warlock died soon after Pip, with Warlock's soul joining Pip's in the idyllic Soulworld inside the gem. When they learned of Thanos' resurrection, Adam Warlock and Pip arranged to leave Soulworld, transferring their souls into recently deceased bodies. Warlock's power slowly remade the corpses into living copies of his and Pip's original forms. [Infinity Gauntlet #1, July 1991]

Faced with the threat of a terrifying alien species, Lila apparently sacrificed herself by teleporting into the sun and taking the aliens with her. [New Mutants (1st series) #70, December 1988]

After the fact, Wolfsbane mused that Lila couldn't really teleport into the sun, since she could only travel to places she had been to before. And if she had been to the sun before, she must have had a way to survive there. Sure enough, Lila did return months later, although she neglected to provide an explanation as to how.
