line 1 changed to:
Is there a trope for supporting (or even major) characters being casually killed by a new BigBad to demonstrate how powerful he is? This happens all the time in superhero comics; for example, in one issue of \'\'New Avengers\'\' a new villain killed the entire AlphaFlight (a superhero team which used to have its own comic book for more than a decade) in one panel. Usually the fans of the dead characters are pissed off by them getting killed so easily, and often they are revived later on.
