Re: R.I.P. Steve Rogers (AKA Captain America)
[ QUOTE ]
who killed him? [/ QUOTE ] He was shot by a sniper hired by <font color="white"> the Red Skull and also by his ex-girlfriend who was being controlled by one of the Red Skull's associates</font>. He wasn't shown dying in a panel as far as I know, but was only said to be dead, so it is unlikely he is actually dead. In fact, there are a few interesting rumors swirling about concerning him. Speaking of permanently dead, the comic book characters often said to have lasting, meaning full deaths were Spider Man's Uncle Ben, the Flash Barry Allen, the second Robin Jason Todd, and Cap's sidekick Bucky Barnes. Now, Bucky Barnes is alive, Jason Todd is alive, and Barry Allen is supposedly seen in some art for a new limited series. At least Uncle Ben is still dead, although Aunt May has been shot. |

[/ QUOTE ] Allen has been dead for 20 years, but does appear from time to time as a spirit to help out. And Ben Parker has never come back 100%, it's always Ben Parker from Earth-64650937r or something. Or the future. Jason Todd and Bucky are the kinds of deaths that are annoying as a fan. "Oh they're not dead. They came back due to reality being altered/not REALLY dying." ,respectively. |

Re: R.I.P. Steve Rogers (AKA Captain America)
Other super-heroes who have died and "got better" (in some cases just being replaced by essentially the same character with a different secret identity. Or a favorite trick is to revive them as a female and/or minority version of the same character)
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) Green Arrow Captain Mar-Vell Supergirl Superboy Wildcat Dr. Midnight Sandman The Spectre Hourman Nick Fury Hawkeye Thor Two-Gun Kid Human Torch (golden age) Wonder Man Wildfire Firestorm Mister Miracle Ant-Man Banshee Deathlok Drax the Destroyer Ghost Rider Man-Wolf Marvel Boy Morbius Shang-Chi Son of Satan Spider-Woman Union Jack Adam Warlock And that's just heroes I could think of/google around a bit (and I skipped a lot of really minor ones like the Swordsman and such) There's a classic issue of The Hulk where Rick Jones' girlfriend is killed and he goes around to a bunch of heroes he knows looking for help. They tell him nothing can be done, dead is dead. He's incredulous because they've all come back from the dead themselves.... (She eventually gets better too...) |

Comics always remind me of this Mark Twain quote: "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated"

Re: R.I.P. Steve Rogers (AKA Captain America)
He'll be back within the year. Marvel is in the business of making money, and killing off one of your most popular characters and then reviving them is a short-term way to accomplish this.
