Which Team X member dies in the helicopter crash in season 2 episode 5?

The story behind the answer

Garrison Kane dies in the helicopter crash in X-Men '97 season 2, episode 5. The episode, “Weapon X, Lies, and DVDs,” reunites Wolverine with several former Weapon X associates for a mission against the program that experimented on them.

Kane travels with Wolverine, Morph, Maverick, Lady Deathstrike, and Sabretooth. Before the team reaches the facility, the helicopter is struck by mutated birds and crashes. Morph later discovers Kane impaled in the wreckage, making him the first fatality of the mission.

Kane is a cyborg connected to Marvel’s Weapon X mythology. In the comics, he was created by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld and first appeared in X-Force #2 in 1991. His cybernetic body and history with Cable make him a natural fit for the episode’s Weapon X storyline.

A common mix-up is Maverick, who also dies during the same episode’s assault on the Weapon X facility. However, Maverick does not die in the helicopter crash; Kane is the character killed in that opening accident.
