Which Character(s) Should Marvel Kill Off Next? [Poll]
Warning: this article contains spoilers for some recently published Marvel comics.
Killing off characters is an old Marvel tradition, fit to both kick off and end a super-mega-crossover event, or provide a sales boost in the middle of one. It also sets up the inevitable Return of _____ super-mega-crossover event, which can even spawn its own prelude event like Hunt for Wolverine. But between Donny Cates's dog-killing massacre in Death of the Inhumans or Extermination's propensity to take its name very seriously, it seems as if Marvel has decided that, when it comes to killing off characters in order to create an inflated sense of gravity and boost sales numbers, you can't have too much of a good thing.
But shouldn't fans have some say in who gets unceremoniously axed next? Vote in the poll below, and feel free to add your own suggestions, then elaborate in the comments.
