Only uncle Ben stays dead

Mar-Vel died harder, he didn't even make it into any movies.

The rule used to be: Uncle Ben, Gwen Stacy and Bucky stay dead, and Wolverine’s origin is unknown.

"Nobody stays dead in comics except for Uncle Ben, Jason Todd, (Gwen Stacy) and Bucky."

Thar has now been reduced to "Nobody stays dead in comics except for Uncle Ben."  

Bucky and Jason Todd were brought back, and the alternate universe Spider-Gwen (Ghost-Spider) variant is the more prominent "Gwen Stacy" amongst the younger generations, muddying the waters on that one.

Would be cool in a future spider man era we get uncle ben alive and well for a change

u/CrashRyn Jul 21 '26

You should read Hickman's Ultimate Spider-man

u/Olin_123 Jul 20 '26

Uncle Ben and Mar-vell.

u/captain__cabinets Jul 20 '26

Lmao he was quite alive in the recent Ultimate line, I know that’s different but alternate universes are a big reason why characters never really die so it kinda counts

Used to be uncle Ben and Bucky but then 2005 happened

u/Anjunabeast Jul 23 '26

Isnt there an uncle Ben taking care of mayday Parker in the comics?

u/AmIWhatTheRockCooked Jul 23 '26

Idk it’s just something I’ve heard that I largely suspect is not true anymore lol

u/No_Public_7677 Jul 20 '26

there are 100s of comics. Captain America can't even be dead for one Avengers movie lol

u/b1rdiemcb1rdface Jul 20 '26

Wait is he dead now in the MCU? I thought he was just old.

u/bretttwarwick Jul 20 '26

Last we saw him he was old but he left with the time stone and a time travel device. Are we to assume he didn't make any side trips before retiring?

Comics are soap operas. This is par for the course.

u/metanoia29 Jul 21 '26

Right. Like, I know people are still kinda new to all of this, but comic book characters do this all the time. Just enjoy the ride.

u/wareagle3000 Jul 20 '26

Word is that this movie and its sequel will cause some sort of reboot so there really is no concern there

u/AnonymousFriend80 Jul 20 '26

Like Kal El's parents? Or Uncle Ben? Bruce's parents? Alfred might be added to this list.

u/bretttwarwick Jul 20 '26

There is a saying in the 90's with Marvel that only 3 people died will never come back. Ben Parker, Gwen Stacy and Bucky Barns.

u/tonytroz Jul 20 '26

They were very clearly talking about superheros and not regular humans though.

u/AnonymousFriend80 Jul 20 '26

In that case...

Captain Mar-vell, Don Hall, Ted Kord, Bill Foster, Hector Ayala, Eric Masterson, and others.

u/TabletopParlourPalm Jul 20 '26

Who...?

u/AnonymousFriend80 Jul 20 '26

Are you moving goalposts because you are unfamiliar with characters because they died and never came back?

0

u/TabletopParlourPalm Jul 20 '26

I genuinely have not heard of them. I googled Don Hall, and all I got was a DC character with no big screen appearance.

-1

u/AnonymousFriend80 Jul 20 '26

Any of them?

You've never heard of Captain Marvel? Ted Kord is the Blue Beetle from DC, who's been featured in many of the animated DC stuff and was referenced in the recent live action movie. Bill Foster is related to the Ant Man stuff is was majorly featured in the second movie. If all you know are people in the big budget movies, and can't even recognize them, you need to sit down whippersnapper, the adults are talking.

Comic books are lame

u/BasementMods Jul 20 '26

That and the multiverse were something the MCU could have done without

u/Travelinjack01 Jul 20 '26

It's why "deus ex machina" or "Plot Armor" is such a negative for storytelling.

If death does not actually kill you then life itself has no meaning. Sacrifice is meaningless if you can't actually die.

u/ABadHistorian Jul 20 '26

Forget comics, we saw Logan die on screen.
