10 Times Captain America "Died"

By Tom Baker /

9. Murdered By Hydra

And everybody knows that that was a mistake, because Captain America had in fact been frozen in Alaskan ice for decades and was since thawed out, miraculously free of hypothermia thanks to his Super-Soldier Serum or something like that. He managed five years of steady service on the Avengers before Hydra finally caught up with him again. In 1969€™s Captain America #111, he foolishly agreed to meet Nick Fury, Agent Of SHIELD at an abandoned theme park, because obviously that€™s the sort of place that spies meet and not the location of every other Scooby Doo villain€™s hideout. Inevitably, it turned out to be an ambush, with Hydra agents getting Cap alone and shooting him. Shooting him to DEATH. He€™s chased into a nearby body of water by a robot called Mankiller (Hydra is bad at naming things), shot at some more, and police recover a tattered mask full of bullet holes. Soon after it turns out that he has faked his death to convince people that Steve Rogers wasn€™t Captain America. So...good job?
