Easily. Can't think of any that comes close.

Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell).

Supergirl during COtiE
Superman DoS
Batman FC

Captain America

The best deaths are Superman, Barry, and Mar-Vell

And Dick Graysons death in Injustice.

Forgot about Barry in CotIE, that was epic.
Ultraman too.
CoiE had some pretty heroic deaths.

No.

Getting hit by Doom's time-dislocating bullets =/= best death.

Ultimate spiderman.

Sentry.

I like captain americaa death in earth x. So epic

Only people that stay the **** dead should be taken in account.

DC : Supergirl (Crisis on Infinite Earth's).

Marvel : Jean Grey (Dark Phoenix Saga).

LOBO being pulled apart by super powered monster tractors.

Barry Allen.

Ultimate Spidey brought a manly tear to my eye as the cover of Ben coming to take Peter "home."

Also death of superman had to be the most memorable and iconic death especially at the time when an icon like that just wasn't killed off.

Bart Allen

Uncle Ben
Thomas and Martha Wayne
All-Star Superman

But the death that really cut to the core of me was Krypto's sacrificial death in AC #583, canonicity be damned.

Barry Allen.

So many people are spelling Bart wrong.

Yup. Krypto's death was so sad.

Barry, Mar-vell, and Superman had some very memorable and sad deaths.
I'm a little suprised that noboy mentioned Blue Beetle. One of my favorite deaths is Ted Kord's. After discovering Checkmate's evil plans, nearly escaping, and being beaten to within an inch of his life by Omac, he still had the balls to tell Maxwell Lord to go to hell. Needless to say it brought a manly tear to my eyes

The OP says iconic. Therefore, we have a somewhat objective measure by which to judge.

Superman, Barry, and Mar-vell are the only ones that truly lived on in the consciousness of fans. Hell, Superman's death made the news. Like, they talked about it in local newspapers across the country. In terms of transcending the medium, it's hard to top that.

So: Superman >>>>>>>> Barry/Mar-vell >>>>>>>>>>> Supergirl (for the pose) > everyone else.

There have been a lot of memorable deaths. But none scratch the surface of those I listed. Cap in Earth X is a personal favorite (Cap in 616 was a joke). But even that is far too niche to be considered iconic.

That was goddamned awful. The absolute worst death I have ever seen in comics.

Nova Prime & Starlord

Ted Kord isn't dead, he lives on in us all.

Uncle Ben, only case of permanent death in comics.

Marvell.


God knows why people rave about Supermans death it was crap and the story piss poor

Always liked Captain Marvel in Kingdom Come.

Orion and Darkseid's final battle.

Silver Surfer Requiem (non-cannon) was a good death. Galactus grieving for Surfer and turning him into a star was good.

Don't give half a f--- about TWD, but this is blatant trolling. Get this sh*t out of here.

Was talking about the comic, so no spoilers included. Forgot we can use superheroes/villains only *shrug*

Superman will be the most iconic from Superman 75

Most of this deaths while might not look very brutal are are very iconic if you have followed those series, but like Digi said:

Robin's death also transcended to other medias

Yeah, because the vin smilie clearly implied you thought you weren't ruining anything for anyone.

W/e. Just realize the careful ground that treads on. I mean, it takes all of about 5 seconds to type in the spoiler tags, if nothing else.

I wasn't. It happened 16 issues ago.

Cap should've slaughtered the werebeasts and be found dead covering the child with his body and the shield.

Eh. Black Panthers as well as everyones death in AoU was melodramatic due to the overall pacing issues of the entire series. I was angry at taskmasters death though only because Rulk killed him and I don't like rulk that much.

Stilt you jerk . Also did you guys read remenders interview regarding his uncanny avengers series? He said originally he was going to bring ares back instead of Sentry but changed his mind because he thought sentry would fit better into the plot. Good thing he changed his mind. Although I know some of you wouldn't mind him not coming back

On a similar note, any mutant that has ever died. It made Marvel a better world.

MoS Zod would be my pick, if this extended to all media. Simply terrible, as a character, badly written, badly acted, badly plotted and badly killed.

Baring that, Peter Parker, because he made way for arachnida superior.
