A thread for deceased comic characters and characters that don't do a whole lot nowadays.
>>154997504Surprised she's still dead
>>154997871She took the long way to the present and died in the old backstory for the twins. Name recycling is the closest to living on she will get.
>>154997953Just do what they did for Gwen Stacy Spider Gwen
>>154997976Gwen's powered by decades of editorial circlejerking about her corpse. Very different than someone who only appears in golden age flashback stories or "girl stories".
>>154997504Skyman is such a cool name, I kinda wish they'd bring him back.
>>154997504She was a good character but Timely/Marvel gradually depowered her because they couldn't have a leading female on an equal footing with Captain America, Namor, and the Human Torch.They married her off to a D-level hero and killed her in childbirth.Her sole reappearance turned her into a "mutant". Of course. :(
>>154997871They unfortunately have a modern replacement. No need to revive her.
>>154998055At least she's in Spider-Man TAS
>>154998038I like the suit of that other guy also called Skyman
>>154997871Only characters people care about are revived.>>154998061Sometimes the original is interesting enough to be revived and exist alongside their replacement, look at Ted Kord and Jaime Reyes.They even brought back Dan Garrett, but no one actually cares about that guy so he hasn't been used outside of that story where they brought him back.
>>154998109I care about her :)
>>154997504What is Wendall Vaughn aka Quaser up to these days
>>154998114Clearly not enough.Only characters that come back are those that ENOUGH people care about, so if only like you and 9 other guys care, the character is probably gonna stay dead.You need a LOT of people making noise, talking about the character, and pushing for it to come back.And then on top of that, you also need someone that works at the company to care about that character enough to write a story where they're revived.Simple as that.
>>154998163Ok.
>>154997504Six forgotten warriors.
>>154998038This.
>>154998038How did he fly after Courtney got the staff
>>154999075He used the Cosmic Converter Belt, he didn't use the Staff, Jack Knight did.
>>154999191ooh
>>154999075Also Courtney got the belt after he died.
>>154999200Yeah in her shoes I'd want the staff, belt, and maybe some damn nth metal
>>154997504Abner Jenkins has been dead for almost 10 years.
>>154997504Captain Marvel
>>154999804?
That's it, huh?
How about characters who are alive but should be dead like the Kents?
>>154997504Death is sometimes better. They just revived Juston, and it was worse than I expected.
>>154999210A staff and belt in her shoes would make walking too uncomfortable.
>>155000628Nah, there are a ton of dead characters that are still dead.It's just that most anons simply don't remember/care about them, that's why they're still dead lol
Here's another one that's still dead, the Red Bee.
>>154998109>Sometimes the original is interesting enough to be revived and exist alongside their replacementYeah, but They aren't going to risk upstaging America by bringing back her OG counterpart.
>>155001946He was given a legacy in the 2000s with his grand-niece, but DC forgot about her and she hasn't been seen after Flashpoint.
>>155001964And in the 2020s, he was given a long lost sidekick, Ladybug.She hasn't been used like many of the sidekicks introduced in that series, but hey, she exists.
Did anybody ever care about Terry Sloane?
>>155001972Oh, he also had a small role in a Black Label Peacemaker book as Peacemaker's parole officer.
>>154999804There's zero reason to undo his death.
>>155001984He was portrayed as retired from heroics, so I assume he simply never died.But it's okay because he dies at the end of the book anyway.
>>155001995Honestly that book was the most use and respect he got in a long time, he was such a charming old man it kinda made me wish old man Red Bee was canon in the main continuity and could reunite with Ladybug and his grand-niece.Then they could maybe team up with the Blue Beetles, I think there's a story there, oh well.
she'll never really be alive again to me desu. the heart of x-men, claremont's main 6 year run in the 80s. she was dead and gone for good as far as that continuity.
>>155001983I'm sure someone cares, but he's also just one of those old characters that have been effectively replaced.Maybe he could still be in Flashbacks stories.
>>155001964pitslut
>>155001946bzz bzzz
Is no one else dead?
>>155005511Is anyone truly alive?
>>154997504Eric O'Grady is still dead. He was only around for 6 years and has effectively been replaced by a robot for longer than the time he was alive.
>>154997871She was basically a no name and now America Chavez exists that's why.
>>155006388>White Lady replaced by a brownThe west has fallen, billions must sneed
>>154997504I forgot.
>>155007507Which thread are ya trying to get off the board
>>155001984interesting
>>155001964This is a ravishing design or it may be the art.
>>154998138He showed up a few months ago in Imperial Guardians. Him and Avril got turned into a knock off Mar-Vell & Rick Jones.
>>155007762Ooooof.. is he at least still dripped out?
>America>in Dutch flag style Based, we've been lacking in acknowledging our creators
>>155007507Soooo funny
>>155007646It's not even her main design, it's been a while since I read her story, but I believe it's just how she looked like for when she was infected/mutated by some alien bugs.She originally wore an Iron Man-esque Red Bee armor.
>>155000693the only reason they died is because John Byrne saw a Superman movie where they died, and they only died in that because it was basically a hundred million dollar fanfic from an obsessive
