No One Stays Dead...

"no one stays dead except the ultimate universe characters."

No one stays dead except Uncle Ben and anyone else who's just never brought back.

Edit: Or, to put it another way, no one stays dead except the ones who do.

How Zen.

People die when they are killed.

There was a villain from an Adventures of Superman comic, from back in the Byrne era, named Dr. Stratos or something like that, who died at the end of the story but WAS brought back in a rather demonic form on the story's last page, with direct implication that he was going to cause trouble soon....and then he was never heard from again. The Superman staff said years later that they just plain forgot all about him. He DID show up again, in much diminished form, in a JLA novel by Roger Stern.

I still like "No one stays dead in comics unless it can make spider-man unhappy"

We have a winner.

Indeed.

Thirded.

Someone make a meme out of that. It will catch on

So we should all go to /co/ them?

i'm running with that one as well.

The god of the Marvel Universe DOES hate Spidey.

Peter: "Why God? Why did you give me superhuman powers, and take my Uncle Ben away? Why is my Aunt May such a passive-aggressive invalid? Why am I a brilliant chemist, and yet try to eke out a living as a tabloid photographer for a boss who hates me? Why do you parade this endless stream of ridiculously hot women in front of me, only to take them away for one reason or another? Why God? Why?!?"

God: Because, Peter, you piss me off.

We forgot Frederick Foswell and JJJ's wife.

Nobody stays dead except Ted Kord.

Fuck you Didio.

Actually, God likes Peter a lot. How do I know this? They've met. He told Peter to let Aunt May go. Peter proceeded to ignore him and listen to the Devil.

God, knowing this would happen, has been punishing Peter for his selfish stupidity both pre-emptively and ever since.

Since God in the MU is Jack Kirby and not Steve Ditko, He keeps treating Spidey like dirt while Mr. Fantastic gets public acclaim, tons of money, a stable and hot loving wife, a loyal best friend who still sticks with him after being hideously disfigured because of him, two lovable children, and a flying car.

I think you should put this in "paint the hero black".

Does Mr. Fantastic even believe in God?

Well, he has met Him.

It's always bugged me that Peter just got lucky and got a radioactive spider-bite when he was fifteen that made him Spider-Man, while others had to work (some really hard) for their powers. Captain America fought in WWII, Tony Stark built Iron Man from scratch, Danny Rand had to win a kung fu tournament and then punch out a dragon to be Iron Fist, etc. etc. Most supers had a lifetime of hardship before becoming super, but Peter got bullied a little, then BAM, super-powers.

Maybe shoving all the hardship and trauma down his throat since becoming Spider-Man is God balancing the scales.

Well, he also had to make himself the web shooters. And the spider signal. And the trackers. And sewing his own costumes. And putting the Spider-Mobile toge— Forget the latest part, please.

I miss the Spider-Mobile. So much. They really need to bring that back. As often as possible.

I thought the Spider-Mobile was a gift from Johnny Storm?
