10 Incredibly Bloody Comic Book Deaths
4. Ares Ripped in Half
As one of Marvel's most popular franchises, Avengers comics are not typically the place to find bloody and disgusting deaths featuring internal organs and entrails. And yet that's exactly what readers of the 2010 four-part Siege miniseries got courtesy of a battle between Sentry and Ares.
The Siege mini deals with Norman Osborn's plans to take over the world via his brand new government-sanctioned H.A.M.M.E.R. organisation. Osborn uses his newly-acquired power to create a group of evil Avengers and manipulates the powerful but emotionally fragile hero Sentry to fight on the side of H.A.M.M.E.R. As Osborn and his crew attempt to take over Asgard, they face resistance from the Olympian warrior Ares.
Ares and Sentry face off and after exchanging some standard punches and kicks, Senty shocks the comic book world when he rips Aries body in half, spilling out his opponents blood and guts in the process. Such a graphic and violent scene would be standard fare in an Image, Vertigo or Marvel Max book, but was essentially unheard of in a mainstream Marvel book.
