Saddest Marvel Death?

What was the saddest death you have ever seen in any Marvel comic? Mine's were:

Colossus' death in "Legacy Virus arc" Colossus sacrificing his life during the Legacy Virus arc was so sad because he was willing to give up his life to save all the people he loved.

Jean Grey's death in "The Dark Phoenix Saga:" It was so sad because of the fact that Jean Grey sacrificed her life to save the world from her dark phoenix persona.

Nightcrawler's Death in "Second Coming:" Nightcrawler dying is always sad since he's such a lovable character. His death still affects everyone to this very day.

Saddest Marvel Comic Death? I have to say it was The Death of Captain Marvel.

Saddest DC Comic Death was The Death of Superman.

Well I would say the Death of Spider-man in the Ultimate universe was pretty sad because there is a big chance he will not be comeing back since it is the ultimate universe. With deaths in the regular universe there is always a big chance for a hero to come back ,but with the ultimate universe there is not.

Nightcrawler in second coming

...and Sabretooth in Wolverine #55

Everyone's death in Ultimatum

the death of goliath in civil war. it was not a minor character but really ment something...!

Nightcrawler's. Sure, it may have been unnecessary, but he was the best of what the X-Men had to offer.

Jean Grey in Dark Phoenix Saga... I don't know how many of you are old enough to remember (especially since the impact of it has been completely negated) but at the time it was one of the most powerful, moving, and sad events in comics for almost a decade. Nightcrawler's death and the aftermath SHOULD have been a huge tragedy, if it had been handled correctly if it hadn't been treated as such an almost minor, throw away moment. Thy way they handled it and the half assed "funeral" pretty much made me drop the X comics. It's happened before, and I'm sure I'll start reading them again once there are fewer of them, they make some sort of sense, and don't suck again. :)

I agree that Jean's death during the Dark Phoenix Saga was easily the most memorable death ever! I don't like the fact that they keep bringing her back and making her death during the Dark Phoenix Saga seem meaningless. I also agree that Nightcrawler's death seem rushed and unnecessary, even though it was still sad.

Yeah, I can't believe everyone died in there.

Nightcrawler and Colossus maybes.

Caps death in Civil War was kind of sad

Old Lace from The Runaways. :(

The Death of Gwen Stacy. The fact that Spider-Man felt he was to blame

Karen Page in the second DD volume (#5). I remember how it touched me.

@Rabbitearsblog: Definitely Jean's death. It's the definition of grandeur. Sacrificing herself to save the world, her teammates, her love.

Nightcrawler, it's always sad to see the innocent guy die. Especially knowing what he went through all his life, his faith etc.

Although this could also be seen as the beest death because it was in character, and you got to see him go out 'sacrificing' himself, kinda like Jesus had to, especially with his faith being such a distinguishable part of his character.

Angels's recent death. It wasn't the death of the character that was particularly sad, rather the way he died.

Yeah, it was so sad...

Steve Rogers

I'm going with Morph from the X-men animated series. It might not count since he didn't actually die and it was out of comics, but it tore me up as a kid.

Oh yeah! I remembered Morph's death too! It was so sad! I kind of wish that he was in the comics.

Nightcrawler Karen Page Gwen Stacy Psylocke Meggan All up there

Oh yeah! Magik's death was really sad.

Gertrude Yorkes anyone ?

Yeah they called him changeling (which is why DC doesn't use that name for beast boy) and prof X asked him to impersonate him while he went and did something

Thanks! I'll check this out!

Captain Marvel.

Not my scan by the way.

Foggy's 'death' in Daredevil.
 
Matt's stuck in solitary, whilst he hears every single second of Foggy being stabbed. It was horrible.

Saddest Marvel Comic Death? I have to say it was The Death of Captain Marvel.

Yeah, I knew there was a 616 version of him that also died, I just meant that the animated series was the super sad instance. Judging from his profile pic, Changeling looks like a character I'd want to see dead.

The death of johnny storm the human torch.

I cried and still do if i read it

The Night Gwen Stacy died........

Beata

Silver Surfer's death in Silver Surfer:Requiem was pretty sad, as was Nightcrawler's in Second Coming.

Nightcrawler death

None of them are sad because they all came back.

quoted for truth. Even tho i teared up a little at Colossus' selfish/self-sacrificial death and was gobsmacked seeing Nightcrawler die... i knew it wouldn't last.

@awesomex: definetly spideys death, had the most suspense and action, best ending to a hero

@devilsgrin81: @madeinbangladesh: Any of the Ultimate heroes or Captain Marvel never came back.

Minus the Ultimate Universe. And just just you wait.

Me.

(Baby beyonder in SWII).

Seriously now, as noted above, Jean Grey's death has lost+++ of its impact since I read it 30 years ago, but at the time, the feeling was quite strong.

Now: Captain Marvel (death still "real") and Gwen (same reason).
