Boy, I could go on and on with this one. But here's six that come straight to mind.... 1] Jean Grey - I think you have to go back to 1987 and X-Factor to understand the context of this. She was one of the most significant characters Marvel has ever killed off, chiefly due to the strength of the storyline and the fact few thought she'd be back because of the way she died. But to out of the blue resurrect her for an inconsequential book like X-Factor was wrong on every level. There was never any strong case to resurrect her... 2] Norman Osborn - As above a significant death in the MU and one that Spider-Man and the MU had long since moved on from. Although the legacy of Osborn lived on his death was an important part of Spider-Man's growing up, Osborn was a character who's impact was far more important in death than he was in life. 3] Baron Mordo - Mordo had slipped into near irrelevance by the time JM DeMatteis revisited him in the early 90s and gave him a poignant send off. Mordo's main contribution to Doctor Strange and the MU was in his part in Strange's origin, beyond that he was inneffectual as a villain and overshadowed by the likes of Loki and Kulan Gath. He never impressed himself as a major threat and still doesn't. 4] Kraven - similar reasons to the Above. Kraven was/is a good character given a powerful send-off, but is he essential enough to Spider-Man's rogues gallery to demand a resurrection rather than a new claimant to the name...? 5] Valeria Richards - Here's the thing: I kind of like Valeria. But the nature of her origin and resurrection is one of the worst decisions Marvel has ever made. 6] Cypher - I don't have to explain this one. I like the idea of a lowkey mutant who's ability is for lingual translation, quietly impressive as an ability but impractical for super-heroing, Doug was never essential. He was never cut out for the frontlines of the X-Men's adventures. His death was a sad but believable moment in comics. | |||||||
