15 Comic Book Movie Deaths That Didn't Last

3. Lois Lane - Superman

Cause Of Death: Suffocation, brought on by an earthquake.

Lex Luthor makes his biggest mistake in the original Superman when he tries to kill his mother-in-law with a nuclear weapon, prompting his girlfriend to save Superman and enlist him to save her mother: he manages to do so, but isn't in time to stop the other of Luthor's missiles from blasting into the San Andreas fault. This leads to Lois Lane's car being caught in a crevice and filling with earth to kill in her in an alarmingly gruesome manner.

Ignoring the fact that his real father told him not to meddle with human matters, Superman instead chooses to believe that fate wants him to save the world and helpfully remembers that he has the power to turn the world back on its axis in order to reverse time. Obviously. And everyone lived happily ever after.
