Thoughts on Superman

Gwen Stacy was killed. She never came back. (Yes, I know the whole clone saga, but that was built in to fail. She never ACTUALLY came back, they were just expanding on a storyline from earlier in the series that related to her.)

I know they brought back Bucky, but they brought him back... like 60 years later. They couldn't even wait more then 20 to bring back Jason Todd.

The point of the matter is that DC makes heroes that cannot die. Like Superman. (He is the purpose of this thread, right?) And when they die and inevitably return, you have less invested in your characters. When Marvel does something, there's a 50-50 shot it'll take. Wolverine gets his skeleton ripped out, Steve Rogers is dead, Harry Osborne is dead, Gwen Stacey is dead, etc...etc...

That's why we care more about Marvel characters then DC characters and that's one of the reasons why Marvel does infinitely better then DC.

Actually Harry Osborne isn't dead, and he was bought back in the most retarded of ways and this is coming from someone who read about the Superboy Prime time alterating punch.

Actually, the whole Osborne corp drives me nuts.

And just because a character is dead doesn't mean Marvel can't find a way to screw them up. I mean remember when Gwen's childrens with Norman were revealed? Remember how they had superpowers? Yeah that happened!

And Marvel has its share of non-killable characters, hell I think most of Weapons X can't die, I know its damn near impossible to kill Wolverine and Deadpool.
