I've got to go with Superman's death....sorry no pics.
This has got to be easily one of the top 3 most well known events in comicbook history, Marvel included.
It was the death of an icon, and whether one is a Supes fan or hater, they would agree that his death reached everyone in all comicdom...not necessarily on a sad personal level, but more on a level like everyone knows. Even if you didn't know a thing about comics or who the bleep Superman is, you heard about it across the globe.
The pic with him dead in Lois' arms is probably the pic eveyone remembers very well.
good choice, should bring out a lot of interesting responces.
Death of Superman was huge... Front page of nearly every magazine and newspaper there was at one point or another during the year...
The watchmen will always be monumental to me.... it set a new standard and made comics grow up...
The original Batman movie . . . so influencial on me.
As for a showing of a characters power... I'm going to have to go with Spectre defeating Shazam.. I had told my friend that Spectre was going to stomp him, but I feared that he may have been done in eventually since Shazam was in the more "good guy" role... but such is apperently not the case in the new DC-in-the-making.

Death of Superman would have been bigger if he actually stayed dead. Death of an icon. I think it would have had a much better impact on the DCU and would have been better for it overall.
Time for Superboy to man up finally or something along those lines.
It would be the death of an icon, more sacred than the famous marvel death of Captain "Mahr-Vell".
to bad marvel ruined it with reaperances of him either alive,ghosly or zombie like. Although his apperance in silver surfer was good but kind of pointless as to why he needed to be there in the comic.
That was one of the most contrived events in comics history, for no reason than to sell issues. I didn't believe for a nanosecond that he would really die; everyone who bought it I should've been selling them swampland. The more DC got loud and said they were serious, the more I rolled my eyes.
The death of the Barry Allen Flash had meaning - because he stayed dead, and was succeeded wonderfully by Wally West. Recently, I would've liked to have seen Hal Jordan stay in the netherworld, and let Kyle take over.
The original Phoenix saga got cheapened by making it turn out it was never Jean Grey; so even the Watcher got fooled? Please.
