times when comic book characters met
less than dignified ends meeting their
maker and some downright silly ways not
every superhero can have a solemn and
dignified death but these are too
ridiculous even for comics think you
know comics be sure to answer the trivia
questions in between some of our entries
there’s three in total and the answers
will be revealed at the end of the video
how many can you get right number 10
grasshopper
life sure wasn’t kind to the two heroes
who took up the grasshopper mantle and
death wasn’t exactly great either the
first iteration of the high jumping hero
got offed mere milliseconds after
joining the Great Lakes Avengers when he
was hit by a sigh that passed harmlessly
through Dorman’s head his backup super
suit was later found by another
short-lived hero who only barely lasted
any longer see his high tech suit was
built for jumping hence the name but
after engaging the suits maximum jump
function the second grasshopper found
himself catapulted into space and for
all his bells and whistles his suit
didn’t have an oxygen supply all right
time for question number one what cosmic
entity is responsible for the weakness
Green Lantern rings half to the color
[Music]
number nine Lita 87 the Legion of
super-heroes a super team from the
distant future of the DC Universe has
one of the biggest rosters of any team
out there they’ve lost a few members
over the years and many of them were
entombed on the world of Shang Galah one
of these dearly departed souls was the
otherwise unseen Lita 87
according to her memorial she was a
fearless and powerful superhero who
defeated many villains before she met
her end after slipping on something
called a baño fruit peel we’re gonna
guess that’s basically a space banana
slipping on a banana peel space-based or
otherwise is a pretty embarrassing way
to go for a hero
number eight Tech Knight Garth Ennis
says the boys is a series all about
knocking superheroes down a peg or two
and usually by extremely violent means
take the hero tech Knight for example an
armored hero with an array of high-tech
gadgets you’d think he’d go down and
suitably epic fashion but nope instead
he retired from the superhero game and
met an undignified end while attempting
to save a woman and her child from a
falling wheelbarrow full of bricks in
his mind he saved the woman and went on
to sacrifice himself to save the world
by having sex with an oncoming meteor in
reality we learned that the wheelbarrow
landed on his head and that the coroner
discovered a large tumor in his head
number 7 at wopo the x-men adjacent team
ecstatics lost quite a few members over
the years and often in pretty hilarious
ways just look at this young mutant who
was able to control a flying skateboard
using his mind he sadly met his death at
the end of the source of all of his
power when he lost control of his board
causing it to fly out of control and
crash into a wall lodging itself in the
heroes chest this all came about as a
result of a curse placed on the team by
a former al I guess it’s true you live
by the board you die by the board number
six the wasp Marvel’s ultimate line of
comics sought to put a more gritty real
world edge on many of the publishers
most iconic heroes a good idea in theory
but one that sometimes got taken too far
during the ultimatum event in which
magneto unleashed a massive tidal wave
upon New York a number of heroes died in
almost comically gruesome fashion the
wasp a founding member of the Avengers
style team called The Ultimates was
definitely the glorious death in the
series as the shrinking hero was gross
eaten by the blob in retaliation wasps
ex-husband giant man even bit the blobs
head off himself can’t we all just stop
eating each other okay it’s time for
question number to finish this classic
saying the only people who stay dead in
comics are number five Pantha well she
definitely wasn’t the most popular or
memorable character on the block this
dearly departed member of the Teen
Titans surely deserved better than the
fate that eventually befell her during
the Infinite Crisis event the classic
version of Superboy returned to the DC
Universe having gone crazier than a bag
of snakes while living in an alternate
dimension
the Titans along with the Justice
Society and Doom Patrol attempted to
stop the crazed former hero but a
backhand blow from Superboy vaporized
Panthers head he even claimed that it
was entirely accidental adding insult to
very very fatal injury that took the
hero out of action number 4 eagle the
archer tech knight is far from the only
hero from the boys to meet a comically
undignified end this world war ii era
crimebuster lost his life on his very
first mission his wings and archery
skills proving ineffective against the
deadliest weapon of all a simple plane
propeller taking to the skies in an
attempt to evade a German ambush the
hero was mulched when he collided with a
fighter plane and was promptly shredded
by the planes propeller he wasn’t the
only member of his team the avenging
squad to meet a gruesome end on their
first mission but his death was
definitely the funniest number three
Mary Jane Watson being the significant
other of a superhero can be a pretty
dangerous life just ask Gwen Stacy but
getting tossed off a bridge might be a
better way to go than the fate that
befell an alternate universe version of
Spidey’s redheaded main squeeze in the
dark future timeline of spider-man rain
MJ died of cancer which she contracted
entirely from her relationship with
Peter and her exposure to his
radioactive bodily fluids yeah we’re not
gonna spell it out obviously this left
Peter with some pretty major issues to
deal with so it’s no wonder this older
version of the webslinger has grown
bitter and angry number two chip there’s
actually a pretty long story behind the
fact
Green Lantern rings are weak against
anything yellow making the galaxy’s
mightiest police force susceptible to
attacks from banana peels and number-two
pencils while on a mission with fellow
Lantern Jon Stewart the squirrel-like
Lantern of the planet elven was sadly
and rather hilariously flattened by a
yellow truck bringing an abrupt end to
his otherwise illustrious career as an
intergalactic peacekeeper all right
here’s the third and final question of
the find main continuity Robbins
how many of them have died number one
blazing skull a veteran of World War two
and a member of the invaders a legendary
wartime superhero team led by Captain
America this fiery hero surely deserved
better than the end he eventually met
thanks to his powers the result of his
tutelage under a mysterious group called
the skull man he stayed alive and active
as a hero well into the modern era where
he was recruited by Howard the Duck to
help battle an outbreak of Nazi zombies
but during the mission his long
superhero career was cut short when he
was devoured by toothed grinder and
toothed Nasher Thor’s chariot pulling
goats who had become zombies themselves
will say it again
blazing skull was eaten by goats zombie
goats question 1 what cosmic entity
caused the Green Lantern’s rings
weakness to the color yellow answer
parallax created by Ron Mars Daryl banks
in 1994 parallax was originally the new
supervillain identity of X Green Lantern
Hal Jordan but was retconned
to be the manifestation of fear itself
question to the only people who stay
dead in comics our answer Bucky Barnes
Jason Todd and Uncle Ben
well this saying held true for decades
2005 saw Bucky resurrected as the Winter
Soldier while Jason Todd was brought
back as Red Hood Uncle Ben however
hasn’t been brought back as a brooding
antihero yet question 3 how many Robins
have died answer 3 Jason Todd Stephanie
Brown and Damian Wayne each met their
untimely end while working alongside the
