Hey Brian,
Check the wording of the third legend:
COMIC URBAN LEGEND: A character once escaped from X-Men custody in 1977 and did not have the plot resolved into another comic bookâ€¦thirteen years later!!

Should maybe be '...resolved in another comic book until...thirteen years later!!'

There've been variations on Thunderbird over the years that might have saved him if they'd been initially included. In his appearance in the old "Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends" TV show, John Proudstar has the power to shape-shift into different animals. As an animalistic metamorph, he might have had a longer lifespan than he did. But oh well, bygones. Personally, I never really saw why Blink was so popular. She's basically a purple female Nightcrawler. Not that I dislike her, I just don't entirely get it.

Marvel must have been pretty happy about the outcome of killing off Thunderbird. Years later when they created Generation X they repeated the performance of creating a character to be immediately killed off.

But, in a twist of irony she was likely the best character of the whole bunch. Fans demanded her return and she only did after Generation X finished. She is the only character of that bunch that is still being regularly used today (she's the headliner of one of the titles).
