I just read Captain America #74, so they plan on bringing The Torch (1940s version) back? Is anyone sacred???

[quote][b]Mo Fun (1/29/2009)[/b][hr]I read an article the other day that brought up this subject. They refered to a "Bucky clause" (ie, they always come back except for Bucky). Of course we know this "clause" is now shot down after Cap #1 v5. Would Bucky really be the most famous character to stay dead so long?[/quote]

I just picked up Avengers Annual 16 today, and thought I'd write Mr. Brubaker a letter...

"Dear Ed,

I just read Avengers Annual 16, and Bucky was part of the Legion of the Unliving. Meaning he was DEAD. As a DOORNAIL. Meaning the Soviets never REVIVED him.

GG, jackhole.

-Tom"

How's it going ZombiesAteMyBrain?

I hope that you are doing well. I am looking forward the thoughts of our resident horror guru on the next Crossed issue...

Kraven hasn't returned, but his daughter has taken over for him, and she a real bada$$. She almost handed Spidey his spleen a few issues ago, but he finally got the better of her.

[quote][b]drakesfuture (11/6/2008)[/b][hr]And is that offer still good? You have X-O Manowar #'s 1-68? I'll take it!!!

I spoke a little out of turn on that one. I was just kidding. My X-O Manowars will remain mine. I really do love Aric Dacia. Great character.[/quote]

Well, considering the "price tag," I didn't think you meant it anyways. Besides, although this is NOT the norm, go to eBay and look up completed auctions on the first 5 issues of X-O - some idiot was paying $20 and MORE for these (not THAT uncommon) books. EACH!!!

I loved Aric Dacia though. I have the entire X-Manowar series. I'll sell it to you for 2 bucks.[/quote]

Oho! You have not heard, then!

On the valiantfans.com forum, one of the owners (Dinesh Shamdasani) said we can expect new comics by the end of 2009. I only hope it's like the first iteration of VALIANT, not the later Acclaim stuff.

jesjet1969 — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 01:22:27 GMT

okay

Way back in the late 80's there was a storyline in Captain America where some joker named Scourge was killing masked villains. He offed some real second stringers like Blue Streak and a bunch of other losers I can't remember. I don't think any of those characters ever came back.

this is driving me nuts I just read this 3 mini series and thought it was good it all took place in a bar and the bartender ended up killing off about 20 villians. so i went through my entire capt collection for a hour and couldn't find it.

how about ROM the heroe died and return to become a normal human being?

Sorry IceBreaka, [b]Warlock[/b] came back in Nova earlier this year, and was instrumental in finishing off the Annihilation Conquest maxi-series. Actually there were two Warlocks in that story Warlock of Infinity Watch fame, as well as the old New Mutant Warlock fought side by side.

Cyber comes to mind.

And Gert and Alex from runaways are still dead (though they are admittedly more recent)

Thanos has also been dead for over a year now. I have a feeling we'll see him again before too long though. He has a history with death and all.

Only in the world of VALIANT did the term "dead means dead and STAYS dead" mean anything.

Warlock of the New Mutants has returned either in the new Nova or one of the Annihilation series.

RE: Dead is DEAD!

Icebreaka — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 11:26:44 GMT

She came back clone like and in a house of M type story but the real Gwen stayed dead.

I'm trying to think of other noteables. Warlock comes to mind. He's stayed dead. So far Steve Rogers has kept dead but I think we all know that won't last with the movie coming out.

RE: Dead is DEAD!

drakesfuture — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:02:23 GMT

aaah. Gen. X. I loved Skin. How did I forget about that one?

Didn't Gwen Stacy come back at some point? Or was that just one of the House of M type stories?

Ummm... Capatin Marvel. The recent Captain Marvel was a Skrull imposter and not the real deal.

Other's: Ben Parker, Matt Murdock's dead girlfriends (except Elektra), and Gwen Stacy.

Chamber005 — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 09:16:59 GMT

Ah, look no further than Generation X for a slew of deaths:

BANSHEE

SKIN

SYNCH

Also, Emma's entire student body was killed prior to her switching to the good side. "The Hellions"

Lots of kids were killed in those bombings at the Xavier Institute in New X-men.

Also, the fourth Guthrie..."Wing"? He's toast.

All I could come up with...

Cypher aka Doug Ramsey (From the New Mutants). There was a weird Douglock charactor (Warlock & Doug combined) but that isn't the same thing or the same charactor, so He has effectively remained dead.

Ben Reily (Cloned Spiderman) Though I don't read spiderman so he may have popped back up, or for that matter never died to begin with.

Thunderbird (From the X-men). Theres been back up tales, and Skrull imposters, and even other mutants using his name, but the original From Giant Size X-men has never came back.

I get the whole copyright idea. In fact, I have seen companies print one issue back-up takes featuring characters that haven't been around for years simply to keep the rights.

Let's not let legal issues ruin a perfectly good thread though.

Who has died and stayed dead.

RE: Dead is DEAD!

Kree_boy411 — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 16:10:00 GMT

From what i can gather...(and i might be wrong on this!)

The reason that these heroes/villans dont remain dead has to do with the copywrite on the characters...if they dont use the character after so many years they could loose the rights to that character and name...
And that has potential to do harm to thier buisness....that would be why you see people brought back...

.....Marvel is bad about recycling...they kill someone off and then slap the name on someone eles or they bring the character back after only a few issues...Or better yet...they find some cockimamy way to bring back the character...but not have it actually be the character (recent Capt. Marvel run).....

....DC is just as bad...but not as often (although i could be wrong)...the Flash has always been around because there are/have been 3 diffrent Flashes...but..not a Barry Allen Flash...so...now hes back.....

drakesfuture — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 11:51:37 GMT

OK-how many marvel characters can we name that died and never came back. I am, of course, not counting recent deaths.

Mockingbird and Swordsman will get the list started.

---Even though they kind of cheated with Swordsman and brought back some crappy alternate reality Swordsman.
