Technically, the use of their powers didn't kill them, but they obtained their abilities by consuming the flesh of Skrulls (who had been brainwashed by the Fanstastic 4 into assuming the form of cows, and then accidentally shipped to a slaughterhouse) which transferred some of the Skrull's adaptable DNA code into their own cells, resulting in a condition eerily similar to bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
The end result was a team of dying half-crazy superheros with increasingly irrational impulses to seek out and destroy every Skrull they could lay their (extremely well armed) hands on.

It was recently revealed that mutants still need some more evolving to do; As it is, mutant biology is still too weak and similar to humans' to compliment all of their new powers, so each time they use their powers it effectively destabilizes their biology and shortens their life (Wolverine's healing abilites negated this though).

The Candlemaker inhabited the mind of the ape-faced girl, Dorothy Spinner, from Doom Patrol, and grants her three wishes, but warns her that after the third wish he will be set free.
After using her third and final wish to resurrect a murdered teammate, The Candlemaker grants her wish... but then immediately disintegrates the resurrected Clay, and proceeds to decapitated Niles Caulder and "kill" Cliff Steele!
