Comments on: So which Marvel character has ‘FALLEN’ this time? http://www.comicsbeat.com/2010/03/02/so-which-marvel-character-has-fallen-this-time/ The News Blog of Comics Culture Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:36:20 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Leo http://www.comicsbeat.com/2010/03/02/so-which-marvel-character-has-fallen-this-time/#comment-44868 Leo Mon, 10 May 2010 12:16:52 +0000 http://www.comicsbeat.com/2010/03/02/so-which-marvel-character-has-fallen-this-time/#comment-44868 My guess is Aunt May. Given that she was sickly and at death's door 40 years ago, her actual death would be cataclysmic and so unexpected that I'm sure all the superheroes and supervillains would stop fighting to note her passing. (Personally I would dance a jig.) My guess is Aunt May.

It looks like, well, there's no arm there. Just an empty sleeve. Is that the same arm Bucky lost? I'd have to check my Winter Soldier issues to remember which one was all shiny. Or is there some other Marvel character that has recently lost an appendage? As much as there's other Marvel characters that could (and should) go out in a multi-part-event-blaze-of-glory, I'm thinking Bucky's time is up. With the movie and golden age of heroes coming up, Marvel's going to push for only one Captain America, and he's not it. Too bad, I liked how they handled all of that.

He has definitely been misused, but read the origin and the Jenkins mini-series where he talks with a therapist and I stand by the coolness. Still, maybe it wasn't sustainable to have your arch-enemy live inside your head, right? Plus he's married (Marvel strike two). Plus now he is the Skrull God or Chthulu (what was that tentacle??) or something? Or is he Kid Miracleman? I think the silhouette is Daken now.

O.o They've embedded everything Superman has and more, yet he gets 'defeated' by his own crying...'cool'..yeah..

That's prolly Captain Bucky's cybernetic hand. My first thought was that it was Sentry. Then I thought how now they can play out a "Death of Sentry" storyline where he's gone for a year or so. Then four replacements show up, each claiming to be the replacement for Sentry. Then Sentry pulls a miraculous reappearance, purged of the essence of the Void and wielding the power of less than a dozen exploding suns. Meanwhile all the Kryptonite on Earth has been turned into iron and no longer affects him. All this while a new mysterious Sand Sentry appears, which is really the Void but in a separate body now. Unless it's Thor. If it's Balder, then all the Asgardians will be running around saying it's time to prepare for Ragnarok, slated to come on December 21, 2012. I don’t think that’s Doom’s hand.

Seems to me that it would be symbolic to begin a new "Heroic Age" with the death of one of the characters who started it all in Marvel Comics #1. I like Skaggs’ guess of Namor.
