It is time to bow your heads and show your respects. Which comic book character had the most memorable deaths. What comes to my mind and remember it could be anything are Ben Reilley clone of spiderman, Gwen Stacy, and even the death of superman. I'm sure i didn't take all the good ones because superheroes and supervillains die all the time in the world of comics... yyeah so anyone

Grimm22
Superboy

Flash - Barry Allen

Hawkeye

Superman

colossus

You guys don't have to but for those of us interested (cough: me) in knowing how these characters died just put in a sentence or a couple of words on how they died. Like {Superman: fought doomsday to death}

Superboy -{Destroyed Alex Luthor's Tower and saved the universe while Superboy killed him sad }-

Hawkeye -{Explosive Arrows were lit while fighting against the Scarlet Witch's Kree Forces; Sacrificed himself in order to destroy the entire fleat of Kree sad }-

My three favorite are:
The death of the Green Goblin(which was not a death) when he was impaled by his glider.
The death of the phoenix when she forced the shiar ship to destroy her.
Finally the death of Jason Todd who was killed by the Joker.

When did the Thing die?

He only died for about 2 issues. But I highly reccomend picking up the Authorive Action Arc by Mark Waid and Mike Wieringo.

Its really well written. After, the FF invade Latveria, in order to restore order to the country, destory all of Doom's crap and protect it from other countires who want Doom's tech.

It kind of reflects on the war in Iraq with the political side of it, but overall its more about how much Reed hates Doom really.

In the 1990's DC wasnt that popular, so I guess they had to make this.

THE most overhyped non-event in recent comics history, to get people to buy issues - that's it. Not a single title was cancelled, he was always destined to come back very soon. I continue to wonder at the people who think this was real; DC would kill off Superman? roll eyes (sarcastic)

Marvel could have made Jean Grey's death (the first time) count for something, but they have cheapened her so much with this death/life back-and forth atitude.

Now this...this death was true, shocking and moving.

And this one was right up there with it.

Death of Cyclops in The Twelve crossover series.

Nah , the whole 'Oh stacy had my kid's' thing ruined her death , it was as if someone was spitting on her grave and her memory at the same time.

The death of Dorma, Namor's first wife. The death of Marrina, Namor's second wife. Both were really well written, and Namor was forced to kill Marrina when she turned into a monster.

Death of Gwen was sad.

Oh yeah, death of Namorita too. Man, Namor really doesn't have luck. Thus far, he has lost these members of his friends and family in violent deaths:

His mother
His father
His grandfather
Dorma
Marrina
Human Torch I
Byrrah
Namora
Namorita

Spider-Man and other guys really don't have nothing on him.

Death of Angela.

Morlun isnt a C-class villian.

He is a great villian. No stupid plots, armor, high tech.
Just raw power and the need for feed.

And he ate Peters eye not face.

Those are the ones on top of my head...anyone else? His "new" wife that it was revealed he had in the years he couldn't remember, till now. Also alot of his close Madripoor friends were killed.

I think alot of the characters who have their own solo series will have had alot of people close to them die. Aquaman's had tons. Most notably Athur Jr., his son.

i liekd the morlum story

The Punishers death in "What if the Punisher had killed Daredevil" was my personal favorite
Death of Superman was good too
I dont read many comics with character death though......

Dark Shazam93
Superman, Gwen Stacy, Green Goblin, Eddie Brock...

..............carnage..........

Well, it definitely wasn't Ben Reilly. That was the most unsatisfying/least visceral comic book death I've ever read. I mean really, he get's impaled and turns into a pile of goop... come on!!

I'll go with Superman as the most memorable (yeah, I know it was a marketing ploy, but it was done well)

Most important - Flash (Barry Allen)

Most significant - a tie between Bruce Wayne's parents and Uncle Ben

Maybe Donna Troy would fit in somewhere. Even though like most Comics characters, she didn't stay dead.

Bucky's apparent death was big for a lot of fans until his recent return.
