Notes:

Candra was apparently killed in X-Men (2nd series) #61, but returned only to die again in Cable (1st series) #150 and Scarlet Spider (2nd series) #18-19, due to her cyclical life as an External. In Excalibur (4th series) #12, she was killed by Rictor and transmuted by Apocalypse to power the External Gate. She tried to escape into her cameo gem, but Gambit allowed it and her soul to be used for the ritual. Nevertheless, she returned like all Externals prior to Marvel's Voices: Pride (3rd series) #1.
