Marvel’s made it no secret that as part of “Avengers Vs. X-Men”, Captain Marvel is coming back. No, not the red guy, the other one at Marvel.
Coming back from the dead is, of course, a staple of all comic books. We’re pretty sure there was a “Death of Archie” arc at some point in the late ’90s. But some characters stay deader than others.
So, weigh in in the comments: who’s dead that you’d like to see come back? A few of our nominees under the cut.
Ted Kord
We will say this: at least the second Blue Beetle got a great send-off that moved the character away from the joke he was and established him as a good detective. But we miss Ted and Booster screwing around. C’mon, DC, he doesn’t have to be the Blue Beetle, but bring the poor guy back.
Banshee
It’s always terrible when a good character gets offed by a retcon, and Banshee’s death always felt a little cheap. On the other hand, as the guys at “Nextwave” pointed out, “X-Men come back more often than Jesus”, so we’re sure somebody will revive the guy eventually.
Hitman
The New 52 desperately needs a smart-ass with x-ray vision and a gun.
Goliath
If for no other reason than the way he got his ticket punched was the most ridiculous moment of “Civil War”.
