10 More Most Disgusting Comic Book Deaths

10. Ted Kord - Countdown To Infinite Crisis

Starting off with a relatively tame example - at least compared to the rest of this list - we have the brutal and tragic death of Ted Kord.

Ted, after spending the entirety of Countdown To Infinite Crisis chasing after a conspiracy that only he believes is real, eventually discovers that Maxwell Lord had gone mad and taken over the villainous organization Checkmate in order to undermine the superpowered community.

Now, Ted is a super genius and a veteran hero in his own right, but he's still a super squishy human at the end of the day, so when Max captures him, he knows that all it takes to put him out to pasture is a well placed bullet to the head. With Ted getting just enough time to utter four of the most badass final words in comics history, Maxwell Lord shoots him in the head.

What gets this death on the list is how the panel where he dies shows the realistic blood splatter from the bullet, as well as the panel afterward, hyperfocusing on Ted's bloody, mangled face on the floor. Brutal.
