Secret Empire: Who Died, And Who Was Dead And Is Now Alive?

Published Thu, 31 Aug 2017 13:00:52 -0500

Secret Empire #10 has been and gone. Some folks died. Some folks survived. Some folks were raised from the dead. We've tallied up a few — who else needs including?

Rick Jones: DEAD. Killed by firing squad, at the command of Hydra Captain America. There is a scene showing him as one of the scars that Kobik left in the new reality to remind people of what happened.

Black Widow: DEAD. Killed at the hands of Hydra Captain America.

We see her funeral. There is a scene showing her as one of the scars that Kobik left in the new reality to remind people of what happened. Although she is appearing in The Champions…

Except… and this is a weird one. She's in Iceman #6 in October as part of a Champions reunion for Marvel Legacy.

As more unexpected enemies emerge, can Bobby mature into the warrior he's destined to become? Hope he survives the experience! PLUS: Includes 3 bonus MARVEL PRIMER PAGES! Story by Robbie Thompson and a TBA artist!

So who knows?

Bucky Barnes: ALIVE. It was presumed he was killed by Baron Zemo when he returned from the past to the present, launching him on a rocket, but his body was captured by Namor and served alongside him, hidden in plain sight for the duration of Secret Empire until the moment was right.

James Q Reed: DEAD. Suicide bomber, blew up the Planetary shield generators for a bit.

Iron Man: COMA. Still his AI is running around in a suit.

Hulk: ALIVE. Dead before Secret Empire, Bruce Banner was revived using Hydra magic, initially temporary, but now seems permanent.

Quasar: MIA. Her assault on the shield saw her successful, but she was either destroyed or disappear . She did not take part in the assault on Hydra.

Hank Pym: ALIVE. Somehow survived being sent into the sun. Well, he is an Ultron cyborg now.

Belen: DEAD. A mutant killed in the X-Mansion during the Darkforce dome.

The population of Las Vegas: DEAD. Apart from a baby found by the Champions. This may be reversed in Scarlet Spider by harbinger of death, Marlo Chandler.
