Give me the names of your favourite comic-book characters who were killed temporarily. That is, they were definitely killed, and then later they were somehow not-dead
( Read more... )
From literature or film, I'd have to cite Dunkan Idaho, from Dune. In the books, he died literally THOUSANDS of times - practically earning a "you killed Kenny" award. Of course, it was because he was being serially cloned...
I can think of tons of examples from TV, but that's a much more common place for that trope.
Haruka and Michiru and Haruka and Michiru. Bury your lesbians, resurrect your lesbians....
The first time, their heart crystals were removed (kind of like a soul extraction, I guess) long enough that they expired, for all intents and purposes. But since their particular heart crystals had the spoilery spoiler they'd been looking for all along, they got better. Talk about right under your nose.
The second time, they got fragged by the Big Bad after a botched attempt to go undercover, ingratiate themselves, and get the BB first. They came back when Sailor Moon hit the reset button.
A lot of the comics I tended to read were pretty big on if a character dies, then that character stays dead. Transformation is possible, but it's also exceedingly rare.
Marvel Comic's Moon Knight. They kill poor Moonie off over & over & then a few years later they have him just sort of appear again. When a guy dies of a combination of demonic possession, gunshot wounds, radiation poisoning & being at ground zero for a small nuclear blast all at the same time, one would think he's *stay dead, but they just keep bringing him back & gloss over it by saying it's the will of his patron, the Egyptian god Khonshu... =rolls eyes=
