15 Comic Book Characters Who Should've Stayed Dead

Where do we start?

There are the numerous times he should have died, like when Magneto tore the adamantium from his body, or Horde tore his heart from his chest, or Nitro reducing him to a skeleton, or that time he crashed into the sun aboard Asteroid M.

Oh, and of course, according to Doctor Strange, every time he died, his soul went to Purgatory and he dueled the angel of death Lazaer for the right to return to life.

Right. (And this is all without mentioning that time he was sent directly to Hell.)

But, for this list, we're talking about his most recent demise, the poignant moment that he suffocated to death inside an adamantium shell after ending the life of Dr. Cornelius, the man who started it all. And in doing so, he left behind a unique monument to his life and its many struggles: a statue of himself.

So, naturally, despite the fact that two heroes stepped in to take his place -- X-23 and Old Man Logan -- Wolverine is making yet another comeback, and it's hard to argue that this time, he really should've stayed dead.
