Avengers: Endgame - 10 Best Times Marvel Heroes Came Back To Life

The Avengers have died and risen more times than Agent Coulson. But unlike Coulson, there isn't a long, drawn-out television show to watch. Nah, for these resurrections, you gotta turn to the comics.

Or, alternatively, just continue reading this article. Because while we're sure you're in nervous anticipation to see how Thanos' Snap is undone (which, c'mon, it's gonna be), maybe you'd like some reassurances that the Avengers will be okay.

Unlike the MCU, the comics have been going on for near sixty years now and, look, writers run out of ideas and blowing your main character's brains out seems like a good way to fill six issues. So there's been a lot of weird and wonderful ways Marvel's heroes have reappeared. Steve Rogers, for instance, literally 'returns' all the time, whether that be by coming back to life after being assassinated, de-ageing himself after the super-soldier serum misfires, or even reclaiming his own body after the cosmic cube turned him into a Hydra agent.

There are countless other characters who've come back back to life though. And while not every return manages to make an impression, the following all managed to earn their comeback...

Loki's died more times than disco, but like the measles he keeps on coming back. Unlike in the MCU, comics Loki doesn't make miraculous, Punk'd-esque returns. No, he does something more... harrowing.

He's a God, and after Asgard was destroyed (yeah, that happened in the comics too) and he was killed, he was reincarnated as a kid. After learning his true heritage, he joined Thor and the Asgardians and was... good. He was still mischievious and deceitful but only in order to bring about good things.

He was also trailed around by a small bird he called Ikol (go look at it in a mirror), which was the old Loki's remnant personality guiding him as he went.

Ikol was pretty chill too... but he was also a time bomb sent by the original Loki. And just as everyone had finally accepted Kid Loki, Ikol ripped his soul apart, and took over his body, destroying not only the life of the good, child Loki, but his soul as well, banishing him to nothingness.

Anyway, that's probably going to be the plot of the Disney+ show. So, good times are a'comin.
