10 Immortal Comic Characters (Who Actually Died)

While Deadpool has 'officially died' more than once - in fact, many times, dying several times in the main Deadpool series, and several other times in things such as Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe - perhaps the most poignant has to be his death at the end of the suitably cheesily named 'Return of the Living Deadpool' run.

This is because, despite its silly name, the series closes on one of the most surprisingly touching moments of the entire Deadpool-death collection. After accidentally making a zombie apocalypse far worse by accidentally turning the zombies into more versions of Deadpool with his blood, the Merc with a Mouth attempts to make up for his crimes by wiping the hordes of him out.

As such, when he's given the chance to infect himself with a disease that will spread to every other Deadpool, he naturally takes the opportunity - despite knowing that this will also end his own life. Though it's tragic, it leads to an undeniably badass finale, where our hero singlehandedly destroys countless versions of Deadpool - including himself.
