9 Avengers Fates Worse Than Deaths

9. Being Unable To Control The Monster

There's no doubt that Bruce Banner deserves a spot on this list, for the poor fella has literally tried to take his own life at several points over the years. In Banner's eyes, death has at times been viewed as a better option than being the Hulk and having to deal with everything that comes along with transforming into the Jade Giant.

Stories such as Hulk: The End find Bruce desperate to die, but all such attempts are thwarted by his monstrous alter-ego. In that particular case, we find a Banner who is the last surviving human in an apocalyptic future. Desperate to end his suffering and loneliness, Bruce continuously contemplates suicide - all while the Hulk refuses to let Banner die.

This has been a recurring theme over the decades, with the Hulk at times viewed by the masses as an uncontrollable savage beast that's been responsible for countless deaths and destruction. And to be fair, the World-Breaker has been an uncontrollable savage beast that's been responsible for countless deaths and destruction.

So tired of having the Hulk carry out such acts, Bruce has tried time and time again to take his own life in order to put a halt to the Green Guy's rampages.

Just in 2019's The Incredible Hulk: Last Call alone, readers saw Banner detailing suicide attempts where he's thrown himself off a cliff, purposely overdosed on pills, sliced his wrists, and tried to shoot himself in the head. Each and every time, he's thwarted by the Hulk.
