The Omega-Level mutant is incredibly powerful, capable of surviving the void of space due to not needing any heat or oxygen to survive.
The attack was meant to kill the group, and it would likely have done the job of it if it weren't for Iceman.

Rixlo arrived on Arakko demanding an audience with the White Queen and initially, it appeared as if they'd made peace with him, even paying him with a great deal of Mysterium. Emma Frost has made good use of the telepathically controlled space ship the Mercury - which she stole from a space pirate named Eden Rixlo. The Marauders just ran into a serious complication during a mission on Arakko.
