Website design By BotEap.comGood old Cap was shot recently on the courthouse steps. He was charged with fighting the Registration Act after the Civil War. An obsessed follower of the Law shot Captain America, Steve Rogers at point blank range and died on the steps in Captain America #25 (vol. 5). However, this wasn’t the first time Cap had “died”. As everyone knows, he was thought to be dead for many years, but he was found frozen in a block of ice.

The most prolific of her deaths was during the Dark Phoenix Saga, of course, when the Phoenix Force took over her body. She naturally returned. And then she died again. And then she came back.

Website design By BotEap.comGranted, he’s not part of the regular Marvel Universe continuity, but back when Marvel had the GI Joe license, they killed off Cobra Commander and even went to the trouble of burying him.

There are some pretty notable ones, and a lot of not so notable ones scattered about the walls and hallways of the Marvel Universe. Death and the comic, the comic and death. One has to wonder when Uncle Ben will be walking down Main Street.
