If the character hasn't died yet (but seems likely to), see SortingAlgorithmOfMortality. All of this is trumped by the FirstLawOfResurrection.
Currently, [[spoiler:The real Caulder]] from ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars: Days of Ruin'' and [[spoiler:Teri Bauer]] from ''Series/TwentyFour'' are the only characters to have scored 4, the highest possible. And are notable for having 4 in ''every'' category. At one point, [[spoiler:Shirley]] from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' and also scored 4, thanks in part to a special [=CLAMP=] bonus that became harder to defend as the series went on. [[spoiler:Chloe Sullivan]] from ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' is currently the only character to have scored a perfect 1, in the episode ''Fracture'', with the rest of the cast not even taking her death seriously, fully expecting her return.

'''Baseline Example: The death of {{Superman}}.'''
* Cause: HeroicSacrifice, so he's not coming back from that too quickly, or the sacrifice will be cheapened. 3.
* Genre: It's a comic book, so DeathIsCheap. 1.
* The Body: DeaderThanDead, a PietaPlagiarism too for supes sake! So no chance of FakingTheDead. 4.
* Reaction: ReallyDeadMontage, uh-oh. 4.
* Characterization: Protagonist. 1.
* When did he die: Same year, so 2.
* Come Back?: This was a first, so 4.
* Average: So add it up... we get a pretty high score, 19! Since it's not a videogame, divide by 7, and we get... 19/7 = 2.7, meaning supes isn't coming back for at least a few months, maybe even years. In actuality the ''Death Of Superman'' happened in January 1993 and he came back some time before May 1994.
----
'''Now let's make a prediction with the recent death of Franchise/{{Batman}} in ComicBook/FinalCrisis.'''
* Cause: HeroicSacrifice, give or take. 3.
* Genre: Comic book, so DeathIsCheap. 1.
* The Body: [[DeaderThanDead Dead and buried]], but it's a little more complicated. Still, it's a 4.
* Reaction: [[HesDeadJim He's Dead Clark]], plus "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" probably counts as a ReallyDeadMontage. 3.5.
* Last Words: "[[FamousLastWords Try Me]]." 3.
* Characterization: It's [[MemeticMutation The Goddamn Batman]], people. 1.
* When did he die: Same year, so 2.
* Come Back?: This would be the first time, so 4.
* Average: 21.5/8= 2.7. A semi-high score, and DC seems to be sticking to this one for a while. Still, he'll definitely be back, likely before the end of 2010 at the latest.[[supersecretspoiler: CORRECT!]]

* '''Reaction''': Harry [[spoiler: [[SugarWiki/MomentofAwesome declaring to break all the known laws of magic to do the impossible and bring her back]]]] is probably a 2.

[[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler]]

* Come back: In the source material, he is always revived. 1
* Average: 10/7 = 1.428571428571429 Ironically, despite the Anti-Life Note, it was even more likely for him to come back from this, and he did.
Pyro

* Average: 17/7 = 2.4 He is most likely to return, considering this author.
[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic New!Tirac]]

* Expectation: The author outright stated he can't come back. 4

* Expectation: Considering how communists were handled beforehand... 4
* Body: Most likely destroyed by the beam. 4

* Charactization: Is apprarently from the Faces Off Evil. 4
* When: Let's say it's still the same arc. 1
* Come back: Not according to anything said. 4
* Average: 23/7 = 3.3 Is unlikely to be seen again.
Pit2 again!
* Cause: Dragged into The Underworld by Hads himself. Talk about Overkill. 4
* Expectation: Hades mentions bringing him to The Rapers. Sounds like a definite way to Perma-Death someone. 3
* Body: Since he was dragged to The Underworld, I'd call that buried. 4
* Reaction: "Wel, tat was a bit anticlimattic" Sounds like Foreshadowing for another battle with him. 1
* Last words: Laughing about his unlimited flight. Famous Last Words indeed. 3
* Charactization: Practically the Big Bad. 1
* When: Hasn't been a year yet. 2
* Come back: When hasn't he? 1
* Average: 19/8 = 2.375 The calculation says he could come back, but let's wait and see.
Sora
* Cause: Lungs crushed by a punch from Obama. Sounds like a simple battle death. 2
* Expectation: Death is extremely cheap in this fanfic, and no mention was made of special conditions, like some of the other guys. 1
* Body: The heroes left before anything was established. Let's say he was left for dead. 1
* Reaction: Pit comments on Obama's fatality. A Bond One-Liner if I ever saw one. 4
* Last words: Commenting on how he'll deal with the heroes himself. Seemed to have been tempting fate. 2
* Characterization: Part of a group of six bad guys. They tend to not get much characterization. 4
* When: Hasn't been a year since that chapter. 2
* Come back: This was his first appearance in the fanfic. 4
* Average: 20/8 = 2.5 Less chance than Pit2's latest death. Will most likely return for a BossRush.

If the character hasn't died yet (but seems likely to), see SortingAlgorithmOfMortality. All of this is trumped by the FirstLawOfResurrection.
Currently, [[spoiler:The real Caulder]] from ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars: Days of Ruin'' and [[spoiler:Teri Bauer]] from ''Series/TwentyFour'' are the only characters to have scored 4, the highest possible. And are notable for having 4 in ''every'' category. At one point, [[spoiler:Shirley]] from ''Anime/CodeGeass'' and also scored 4, thanks in part to a special [=CLAMP=] bonus that became harder to defend as the series went on. [[spoiler:Chloe Sullivan]] from ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' is currently the only character to have scored a perfect 1, in the episode ''Fracture'', with the rest of the cast not even taking her death seriously, fully expecting her return.
----
'''Baseline Example: The death of {{Superman}}.'''
* Cause: HeroicSacrifice, so he's not coming back from that too quickly, or the sacrifice will be cheapened. 3.
* Genre: It's a comic book, so DeathIsCheap. 1.
* The Body: DeaderThanDead, a PietaPlagiarism too for supes sake! So no chance of FakingTheDead. 4.
* Reaction: ReallyDeadMontage, uh-oh. 4.
* Characterization: Protagonist. 1.
* When did he die: Same year, so 2.
* Come Back?: This was a first, so 4.
* Average: So add it up... we get a pretty high score, 19! Since it's not a videogame, divide by 7, and we get... 19/7 = 2.7, meaning supes isn't coming back for at least a few months, maybe even years. In actuality the ''Death Of Superman'' happened in January 1993 and he came back some time before May 1994.
----
'''Now let's make a prediction with the recent death of Franchise/{{Batman}} in ComicBook/FinalCrisis.'''
* Cause: HeroicSacrifice, give or take. 3.
* Genre: Comic book, so DeathIsCheap. 1.
* The Body: [[DeaderThanDead Dead and buried]], but it's a little more complicated. Still, it's a 4.
* Reaction: [[HesDeadJim He's Dead Clark]], plus "Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?" probably counts as a ReallyDeadMontage. 3.5.
* Last Words: "[[FamousLastWords Try Me]]." 3.
* Characterization: It's [[MemeticMutation The Goddamn Batman]], people. 1.
* When did he die: Same year, so 2.
* Come Back?: This would be the first time, so 4.
* Average: 21.5/8= 2.7. A semi-high score, and DC seems to be sticking to this one for a while. Still, he'll definitely be back, likely before the end of 2010 at the latest.[[supersecretspoiler: CORRECT!]]

[[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler]]

* Come back: In the source material, he is always revived. 1
* Average: 10/7 = 1.428571428571429 Ironically, despite the Anti-Life Note, it was even more likely for him to come back from this, and he did.
Pyro

* Average: 17/7 = 2.4 He is most likely to return, considering this author.
[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic New!Tirac]]

* Expectation: The author outright stated he can't come back. 4
* Body: Witnessed on-screen. 3
* Reaction: The Reason You Suck Speech. I think that should be a 4.
* Last words: No time to say them. N/A

* When: Hasn't been a year. 2
* Come back: Came out of Hell. 3

[[UsefulNotes/MaoZedong Mao Zedong]]
* Cause: ...the beem consummed him, ans he died! Let's say Overkill. 4
* Expectation: Considering how communists were handled beforehand... 4
* Body: Most likely destroyed by the beam. 4

* Charactization: Is apprarently from the Faces Off Evil. 4
* When: Let's say it's still the same arc. 1
* Come back: Not according to anything said. 4
* Average: 23/7 = 3.3 Is unlikely to be seen again.
Pit2 again!
* Cause: Dragged into The Underworld by Hads himself. Talk about Overkill. 4
* Expectation: Hades mentions bringing him to The Rapers. Sounds like a definite way to Perma-Death someone. 3
* Body: Since he was dragged to The Underworld, I'd call that buried. 4
* Reaction: "Wel, tat was a bit anticlimattic" Sounds like Foreshadowing for another battle with him. 1
* Last words: Laughing about his unlimited flight. Famous Last Words indeed. 3
* Charactization: Practically the Big Bad. 1
* When: Hasn't been a year yet. 2
* Come back: When hasn't he? 1
* Average: 19/8 = 2.375 The calculation says he could come back, but let's wait and see.
Sora
* Cause: Lungs crushed by a punch from Obama. Sounds like a simple battle death. 2
* Expectation: Death is extremely cheap in this fanfic, and no mention was made of special conditions, like some of the other guys. 1
* Body: The heroes left before anything was established. Let's say he was left for dead. 1
* Reaction: Pit comments on Obama's fatality. A Bond One-Liner if I ever saw one. 4
* Last words: Commenting on how he'll deal with the heroes himself. Seemed to have been tempting fate. 2
* Characterization: Part of a group of six bad guys. They tend to not get much characterization. 4
* When: Hasn't been a year since that chapter. 2
* Come back: This was his first appearance in the fanfic. 4
* Average: 20/8 = 2.5 Less chance than Pit2's latest death. Will most likely return for a BossRush.
