Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.

Death is irrelevant is comics. I could stop there, but what would be the fun in that? The list of heroes (and villains) who have died and stayed dead is a short. Dead and still dead (off the top of my head) The Flash II, The Atom I, Hawk woman I, Dr. Midnight I & II, Wildcat II, Black Canary I, Hourman III, Peace maker II, Bluebeetle I & II, Dove I, Xorn I & II, Jade, Ben Parker, Ultimate Beast, Scarlet Spider, and a few others The list of the "Round trip death" club is much longer: Jean Grey, Cyclops, Hawkeye, Superman, Wonder woman, Greenlantern (Hal Jordan), Robin II, The Flash III, Hourman I, Jack of Hearts, Thor, Captain Britain, Psylocke, Magneto, Black Tom, Multiple man, Wonderman, Mrs.Marvel, Hawk, Captain marvel, Metamorpho, Deadpool, Strife, The Human Torch I & II, Mr.Fantastic, The Thing, Dr. Doom, Venom, Green Arrow I, Carnage, Strong guy, War machine, Colossus, Nick Fury, Dr.Fate..Sigh the list can go on forever, Some die for years and some don't stay out of the game very long like a revolving door of death. especially with people like Jean Grey and her high speed merry-go-round of death and rebirth. When a character dies it should be meaningful, sometimes the comic book companies try and then change their minds like when DC "killed" Superman, they made a great deal of the death and thereby committed themselves to putting a great deal of effort into explaining how this death had become undone (back peddling). So now to the main point, Will Marvel Keep Captain America dead or is it another trivial annoyance? His death has (for now) a meaning; The "civil war " shouldn't have happened, Some heroes don't want to register because the have loved ones who can get hurt or killed. Will they turn it into a "Alice in Wonderland" type death, it was all a dream or it was faked? Only time will tell. In the fantastic world of comics, clones, robots and shape shifters can impersonate the prospective cadaver and die in his place; and time travel and multidimensional excuses can help him escape his fate altogether, I hope comics will slow this trend and return the our (the readers) fear of their favorite hero staying dead for more than three issues. In closing if i missed any hero or villain in either list please tell me -- Green eyed dragon
