If death was as permanent in comic books as it is in real life, which characters introduced in the 60s (if any) would still be alive today?
>>154861677Tony would still be alive because he's actually an alternate universe time travelling teenaged version of himself since the 90s. So he'd be in his 50s, probably? Maybe late 40s?
>>154861677If Peter Parker was 16-17 when Amazing Fantasy 15 debuted in 1962, that would mean Peter was born in either 1945 or 1946, making him 80-81 years old today, totally plausible that Peter would still be alive.
>>154861677were*
>>154862082…wait, what?
>>154861677Thor, Loki, Dr. Strange…
>>154863854Thor's dead like, right now in the comics
>>154863896He’ll get better.
>>154863902Well of course but that's hardly the question
>>154862082I think that eventually someone at Marvel realized how ridiculous this was and they got Franklin Richards to fix it somewhere in the early 2000s
>>154861677Reed?
>>154864315He died in the 90s.
>>154864308It I recall correctly it was just kind of yadda yadda'd in Heroes Reborn/Heroes Return, but I don't know if it's even been specially undone. Either way, very funny.
>>154864383Onslaught slaughtered them, I guess?
>>154863274>During the mid-1990s, Marvel Comics ran an infamous storyline called "The Crossing" where the adult Tony Stark was revealed to be a secret traitor brainwashed by Kang the Conqueror. To stop him, the Avengers traveled back in time and brought a 19-year-old alternate-timeline version of Tony to the present to fight his older self.
>>154861677Luke Cage was introduced in the early 70sAnd I don't think he was dead ever
>>154864383Everyone did. Couple times.
>>154864570Believable that the crazy treatment also granted him a measure of longevity.
I think only Sue Storm and Luke cage never died in Marvel.For marvel I don't remember Plastic man or some JSA member dying. Neither Nightwing aif we count Forever Evil as a fake out.
>>154862082Current Tony is a photocopy of the old tony who was death in Civil war 2, which that tony got his mind rewriten during dark age.Man,Tony has been a mess since the crossing outside Busiek run
2 of the 3 founding Legionnaires have never died, and I think a majority of the other members would've survived too
>>154864432No, before thatHe and Doom died in a story in 1993 and Scott Lang and Namor filled in for Reed
>>154864733I think maybe Daredevil has only ever faked his death and had NDEs in main continuity?
>>154861677Do you count their deaths and "deaths" in the comics or not?
>>154864756It's funny that he's probably got the most straightforward elevator pitch but the actual comics are fucking batshit.
