Who killed Captain Stacy?

[cyberghostface]

So there was a certain scene in A+X #11 that caught my attention...



Was it really Otto's fault? Let's see.

From Amazing Spider-Man #90...












So basically Spider-Man deliberately causes Dr. Octopus to lose control of his tentacles... the tentacles attack him and knock over debris, killing Captain Stacy... and Otto is the one to blame?

Cyclops presumably has a very biased recollection of those events based on his own "world that hates and fears me" past. Spider-Man and the X-Men didn't know each other well back then--and in subsequent years, Spider-Man has been a real stand-up guy whenever he's interacted with the mutants. So Cyke disbelieves the part where the papers blamed the death of Stacy on Spidey rather than Ock.

Whether Peter or Otto was responsible for Captain Stacy's death has no bearing on what happened to Xavier, though. Xavier's death was neither an accident nor due to the actions of a supervillain (unless you count Cyclops himself as a supervillain, which I'm more and more inclined to do).
