10 Dumbest Ways Superheroes Have Died

[Music] dramatic hero deaths are the bread and butter of the comic industry the vast majority of iconic comets contain at least one superhero succumbing to a badass or tragic death or otherwise at least the implication that they do and it's these moments that are often the exact reason we consider them as monumental as they are however this doesn't mean that every death in comics is equally impactful in fact for every emotional and purposeful death there are a handful of weird pointless or just straight-up dumb superhero demises often from the exact same characters this isn't necessarily a bad thing though as its these dumb deaths that make the spectacular ones seem all the more amazing like seeing a man be killed by an elephants or Josh Brown getting accidentally exploded by his stockpiled arsenal of hairspray seriously that man must be stopped perhaps more importantly these silly or our deaths also hold a similarly memorable spot in all of our hearts so be it more and making you wonder every now and then what on earth caused the craters to come up with it instead of being in awe at the fact that they did not every hero death can be heroic and it's well worth appreciating the strange and insignificant ones just as much as the important ones so I'm you and this is what culture comics and here in the ten dumbest way superheroes have died number 10 the spider birth there are few moments in the entire spider-man franchise more genuinely horrific than when Peter Parker having been bitten by the villain known as the Queen and unknown Liam jetting with a mysterious toxin promptly dies by birthing an actual spider spider-man it's literally the plot of endless body horror stories and the slow pacing of Peter slowly succumbing to the strange spider poison is how strange as it is gross while also managing to be maybe the dumbest way that Peter Parker has died yet and and if he can't alter the universes that's including on an earthly amount of deaths including that disgusting one where someone fills him up with all the sand that he explodes Jesus Christ that image is scarring the seeming sole purpose of having Peter do this bizarre death reincarnation cycle appears to be for the simple freak out factor of witnessing someone progressively transform into a spider and in that regard we have to admit it does the job all too well number 9 ship versus traffic seeing a noble hero defeated by yellow truck shouldn't be funny by all means but there's something about the idea of a Green Lantern defenders of the galaxy capable of doing battle with Sinestro and cosmic entities of untold power being dunked on by a truck full of ice cream or groceries that's just totally hilarious in fact the entire comic this belongs to the bizarre gem that is the second issue of Green Lantern mosaic it's almost entirely this level of weird with the majority of it committed to showing us how chip fits and amongst his fellow animal brethren the comic does make you feel kinda bad through its super-powered squirrel though as it's revealed that it's a drug driver which means it's more irresponsible driving them Road and recklessness that's the vault of chips demise number eight Nightwing in injustice of all the deaths in injustice there is one whose tragedy is matched by its when dana see the death of Nightwing within the first volume or year of the series during a fight between Nightwing and Robin the younger hero throws this crime a stick at Grayson who catches the stick right to the temple stumbles and then falls on a rock that breaks his neck it's been a much bigger moment by fans for how minor falling on some rock is in terms of causing a major superhero death especially in a series where people are vaporized into blood spray or torn limb from limb more ferociously than Jules looking for his next one police joke that being said the everyday nature the death works well in terms of the plot because it's such a possible mistake that it makes the resulting conflict and complete outbreak of rage from Batman all the more understandable number 7 juggernaut vs. a poison dart given the juggernaut is such a powerful force of nature that he is beaten heroes such as the likes of Thor and the Hulk it seems kind of silly that his big death scene at the end of the ultimate x-men series involves him being nobly defeated by poison dart it's such a tiny thing and such an absolutely miniscule wound to take that it just ends up feeling really weird that it's the thing that kills him even worse it takes him out almost immediately which makes one of the most powerful non-magical bones look like a total weakling for literally no good reason while the ultimate series is no stranger to weird needless and accidently hilarious deaths the juggernaut going down to some evil ibuprofen really is the lamest of them all number 6 grasshoppers bad luck the Great Lakes of just aren't exactly the toughest bunch of folks they've ever banded together into a superhero team indeed they may arguably be the superheroes that are easiest to kill of all the universes superhero teams a fact proven by grasshopper who dies a whopping five point eight seconds into his time with the illustrious superhero group grasshopper literally accepts a position with a team mid-flight turns around and is then stabbed in the head by their opponents in a visual representation of what it's like to see someone's hope crushed before your very eyes it's played off as a group fair enough but it's also kind of a shave as grasshoppers one of the more interesting members of the GLA although this may potentially be because we get to learn some early nothing about him before he dies number 5 Batman has a heart attack of all the badass tear-jerking or inspiring ways we've seen Batman die over the years him having a heart attack in the middle of a fight is perhaps a single lamest where the Dark Knight has ever kicked the bucket which isn't this suggest that having a heart attack isn't a very reasonable and very real way for any human to go out but rather that with the amount of absolutely insane and convoluted body conditioning bruises undergone practically making every aspect of himself as close to superhuman as possible he still wasn't able to do anything about potential heart palpitations naturally being the gosh dang Batman he is survived through some repressed alter-ego shenanigans and it only leaves the whole brief death scene feeling all the more jarring in no small part because said alter ego is supposed to be an absolute last resort meaning the bat had no actual plan for such a possible scenario number 4 Superman's assassin Club of the entire an adapted Superman comic collection the one issue that most desperately deserves to be made into a film has to be Superman 188 which sees the hero discover that there is basically a school of assassins who have specifically dedicated themselves to trying to kill the Man of Steel motivations that are murky at best and that's not even the most ridiculous moment of the comic as well their initial attempt to kill Superman fails because they accidentally tried to kill an actor playing Superman one of the assassins successfully kills him and I steal through spreading kryptonite through radio waves it's all the classic weirdness of the original Silver Age comics and so cheesy that when I Robot replicas of Superman grows feelings for is real but dead counterpart and tries to revive him you're honestly not all that surprised would a love story between Superman and Robo Superman be worth briefly forgetting about Lois Lane quite possibly number three Deadpool vs. and elephants while there's pretty much endless death to choose from from explosions having a human parasite living in him and other superheroes to name but a few causes the most hilariously weirded these is unmistakeably the time deadpool was gored by an elephant and still made time to crack jokes allah's internal organs slowly started being external organs it's the most classically in character moment that Deadpool can get and where he's about to die for at least a good couple of minutes before he regenerates but also pretty chill about the situation at large if everyone was as relaxed about the mortality is Wade Wilson the world would be a much better place or otherwise full of a lot of corpses number two Superboy accidentally explodes Panther in the definitive moment likely to have Infinite Crisis considered not appropriate for kids we are treated to one of the most confusing deaths in comic history as superboy-prime manages to explode someone entirely by accident proving that Panther calling him a stupid kid is actually entirely correct Superboy goes to launch a punch behinds him and not thinking of his immense strength unwittingly puts his all into it exploding Panthers head like dynamite in a watermelon the blow is so powerful the ambush berg is knocked unconscious but the force that panthers decapitated head hits and whiz which somewhat undermines Prime's arguments that he didn't mean to do it it's the precise point you learn how far the Superboy is willing to go as his assurances that it was all a total mistake are almost immediately counted when he kills another superhero right afterwards number one Hulk decapitated by Justice it's pretty surreal to think that the Hulk a hero who once held an entire plan together post a path asteroids Aniston pretty much every major feat of strength at least once was once taken out by a lazy throw a Captain America shield the whole thing would be insulting a Nerf of the strength The Hulk is supposed to have but to make matters worse the shield wasn't even thrown by Captain America but one of Ultron henchmen instead this may explain the weird weird weird expression on the Hulk's face as instead of a tragic expression the big green giant looks more like he's opened the fridge to find there's no food in there sort of like a no for it looks to have been intended as a big surprising death the actual fatness that's seeing the Hulk destroyed by one poxy swing of the vibranium shield only feel surprising maybe see like vaguely sure it shouldn't have happened in the first place hello youtube we're turning things up to 11 with the launch of what culture music it's our brand new channel featuring all those lists you
