10 Superhero Resurrections That Actually Worked

6. Hawkeye/Mockingbird

While Hawkeye and Mockingbird didn't exactly die together, or indeed, get revived together, it makes sense that their own comic book revivals are mentioned together, seeing as how they were an item and all.

Two famous Avengers and two famous lovers to boot, Clint Barton and Bobbi Morse have commanded books as a team and on their own over the years, but both have - rather tragically - also faced the writer's axe.

Though Bobbi technically never died, having only been replaced by a Skrull, her ex-husband most certainly did, on two occasions, no less, during the infamous House of M storyline. Clint would later return under the identity of Ronin, before going on to resume his mantle as Hawkeye and partake in a stellar series by Matt Fraction and David Aja. Which, as far as justifications for resurrections go, is a pretty good one.
