List of Deceased American Comic Book Characters
characters
Below is a partial list of fictional characters who have died in American comic books,
specifically in the superhero genre, and, so far, have not returned.
Characters frequently die in comic books, but are also frequently resurrected. A death that is
reversed is called a comic book death. Writer Peter David splits the blame for this phenomenon
among creators, publishers and fans. Creators and publishers kill characters to increase drama
and sales and to meet the demands of readers who call for evil or unpopular characters be
killed. However, if a popular character is killed, fans often ask for his or her resurrection and
publishers find such returns can lead to more boosts in sales. Another reason creators
resurrect characters is that they want to use them in new storylines. This cycle creates
a vicious circle: after witnessing several improbable returns, fans begin to doubt that any
characters are permanently dead, and death begins to lose its dramatic impact. [1]
Although many dead comic book characters are resurrected, some are not. Usually, characters
associated with a major character's origin story (e.g. Spider-Man's Uncle Ben, Doctor Abraham
Erskine, Ho Yinsen, Abin Sur, or Batman's mother and father), or those whose deaths
significantly alter the development of a major character (e.g. Gwen Stacy, or Karen Page),
remain dead. Additionally, although many stories continue to be written about them, certain
period characters are typically presumed dead (at least from natural causes if nothing else) for
purposes of contemporary status, even if their final fates are not depicted in a story
(e.g. Rawhide Kid and other characters active in the 19th century Wild West). Sometimes a
character remains dead simply because a successor has assumed an updated version of his
or her costumed identity, making a return by the first generation character absurd (e.g. Baron
Zemo or Foolkiller). Some dead characters have fallen out of relevance to modern audiences,
which effectively prohibits their return (e.g. certain characters from the Golden and Silver Age
of Comic Books. Characters who no longer fit current standards of political correctness also
often fall into this category.). Death is also a convienent method of closure for characters who
can no longer be used due to licensing restrictions, copyright, or other issues of ownership.
Lastly, from time to time, superheroes or other comics characters, judged by their creators to
have served their dramatic purposes, remain dead because their stories are considered over.
As there are no "rules" to fiction, all characters carry the possibility of being resurrected at any
time. The following list of characters are present exceptions to the standard conventions of
comic book deaths. Currently, they remain dead.
The latter part of this article also includes characters who were once "dead" and then returned.
While persons listed may or may not have actually died in their respective comic books, they
were presented as dead by the storytellers for a long enough time for the reversal to be
meaningful (usually not within the same story arc). For example, Green Goblin supposedly died
in July 1973, but was revealed to not have in December 1996. Thus, although continuity states
Norman Osborn was never dead, for 23 years in real time, he was. By contrast, many comic
book stories involve cliffhangers in which a character appears dead for a short time but is
revealed to be alive or resurrected without enough time for the death to be meaningful. An
example would be Batwoman, who died in Batman and Robin #8 (2010) but was revived only
one issue later.
