Who and how would you want said character to die? Series and parody responses are welcomed.  After reading the recent Home Front, I really wouldn't mind Speedball dying. It would certainly beat out anyone else's death to come in Fear Itself having him go up against the Worthy, one after another, trying to keep them from harming the people the Avengers can't get to until he finally kicks the bucket. Cliche as hell, but it would still be a fine way to have the character finally get that redemption he wants and a statue, there is always a statue. |

Nice. Honestly, at this point I'd love to see Moon Knight killed off. Get rid of him before the series gets too ridiculous  /fanboyw/agrudge! |

DC Ultimatum. Marvel 616 Ultimatum. All that would remain are characters I read. Everyone else..... Dead.
They could even do a crossover event for it.

Damian: army ants rip him appart slowly. Then he is retroactively retconned out of DC, he never existed.
Cyclops: crushed under a sentinel
Reed Richards: magical degenerative brain cancer that transfers his intelligence to someone who will actually use it
Prometheus: a telepath makes his brain explode.

After the way he's been handled in recent years I'd say Professor X. He's no longer the X-Men's headmaster or leader. They have plenty of capable telepaths who are also far more accomplished in the battlefield. He's like that old guy you work with that just won't retire.
Ride off into the sunset Charles.
He should die as a hero though. It'd erase some of the bad writing and stories in recent years that's really demonized his formerly trustworthy character.

I think you'd enjoy Hickman's work on FF and Reed. He's actually showcasing Reed doing genius level stuff. |

Nothing Reed has ever done is enough redeem what his lazy uselessness at not solving problems he could find fore.
The guy can build the ultimate nullifier but he can't take 10 minutes to cure cancer.

Ride off into the sunset Charles. I got a sudden image of Patrick Stewart driving off Velma and Louise at sunset. |

While I agree, he is mostly keeping all those brilliant ideas to help humanity to himself, I don't think he's ever "built" the ultimate nullifier. He's built inter-dimensional gateway that lead him to meeting up with his multiverse counterparts that are now threatening Earth and inviting a possible Celestial invasion and the like, but no nullifier as far as I can remember. |

He can but it would be too easy. His reason is stupid, millions suffer because take the time to solve the problem. Dude pulls machines to warp reality out of his ass yet he can't solve the energy crisis. magical brain cancer for him I say!  |

Lol I think the actual excuse in comics is that there was never enough time. I remember him talking about that once. Scolding himself for never doing that type of thing when it would be too easy for him to accomplish and then going on about how he is always dealing with crisis after crisis. |

I don't buy any of the excuses they give in Marvel since none of them I've seen so far actually make any sense or would be true considering how this world works.

Honestly?
Wolverine.
I like him, but I'm just tired of seeing his overrated face in half of the current Marvel teams.
He's had his run, and it was a good one. But nobody wants to see him stick around like those pro sports players who try to keep playing ten years after they stopped being good. Let Wolverine go out in style.

Cyclops: crushed under a sentinel Reed Richards: magical degenerative brain cancer that transfers his intelligence to someone who will actually use it Prometheus: a telepath makes his brain explode. You've never been able to explain your blind hate for Cyclops. I asked you this on CV a year back, and you replied with, "Where do I even start? There are so many things wrong with him. He's not a good enough leader to lead a marching band." You then followed up with "he's an utter douchebag" without any basis whatsoever. So why do you really hate the guy? Oh, and "he's an utter douchebag" isn't an acceptable answer. Particularly when he's put numerous young mutants under his wing and is one of the more genuine characters you'll find. |

A rather extensive discussion over Crom's hate for Cyclops happened on this site a while back. I have no idea where to find it though... Edit: I found it.  It's amazing what Google can do with a couple of good keywords. thecomicsledger.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gc&action=display&thread=21&page=1101 |
