Heroes ’ Hiro Nakamura is n’t the only type to see that their superpowers may finally be creditworthy for their death . Here are five more fictional characters for whom the superhero dream comes at a potentially fatal price .
Kid Flash 1
What Seems To Be The Problem ? After gaining his big businessman in a refreshment of the same accident that gave Barry Allen his , Wally West went through something his wise man had n’t – first-rate - powered puberty . The same changes that made Wally a man also made the superspeed chemical toxic , which entail that each time he used his exponent , he took another whole step closer to death .
Is Death Guaranteed ? Nope . In what can only be described as “ lazy plotting , ” Wally was zapped by a villain ’s Department of Energy blast that do to cure him of this ailment , a fact he celebrate by taking on the part of the Flash after Barry Allen ’s seeming death .
Impulse / Kid Flash 2
What Seems To Be The Problem ? Even if pubescence does n’t kill you , being a super - speedster comes with other venomous job if Bart Allen is anything to go by : He ’s stick out from a hyper - metabolic process that senesce him much quicker than he should on two separate occasions , now .
Is end Guaranteed ? Only kind of . After the problem was apparently solved the first clip by forcing Bart to overload his own metabolism by running really tight ( No , I ’m not really sure how that works , either ) , it came back to haunt him in later aliveness , and he died from it – except that his vernal self was somehow slip away into the time to come and brought back to life . I ’m not certain how that work out , either , but at least it undo the character ’s inauspicious ( and somewhat sensationalistic ) demise .
Spawn
What Seems To Be The Problem ? Al Simmons was a murdered soldier who returned to Earth as a Hellspawn , with seemingly outright magic powers . trouble is , those powers are define depend on the lifeforce of the symbiote he ’s become attach to on the process – Using his business leader too often could lead in its death … and his .
Is dying vouch ? Not in the fragile . As the series continued , creator Todd McFarlane and others make out up with legion workarounds , include raw great power source , and various metamorphosis for the symbiote instead of deaths . As long as McFarlane can continue to make money from Spawn , expect death to be void .
Warlock / Doug Ramsey
What Seems To Be The Problem ? It ’s the ultimate buddy movie wait to happen : He ’s a techno - constitutive entity who need other beings ’ lifeforce to come through ! He ’s a dweeb with a mutant talent for languages who ’ll happily give up his lifeforce to be part of the New Mutants ! utter about an enabling relationship .
Is Death Guaranteed ? For Doug ? Yes , although it was n’t Warlock ’s shift – He jumped in front of a bullet signify for fellow New Mutant Wolfsbane . Warlock lives on ( and for awhile , even thought he was a re - animated Doug ) , helping to overcome exotic invasions in Marvel Comics ’ Annihilation : Conquest and is due to return to the revive New Mutants series shortly , as is Doug … as a zombi spirit .
Kid Psycho
What Seems To Be The Problem ? The wonderfully - named Legion of Super - Heroes wannabe Kid Psycho can use his advanced will power to move objects with his mind , and even move through fourth dimension thanks to the entirely unexplained telekinetic superpower of mind - time - travelling ( No , we really do n’t know about that either ) . The only job is that , with each use of his magnificent judgement , he take one year off his biography .
Is destruction Guaranteed ? woefully , yes ; he sacrificed himself during DC Comics ’ 1985 Crisis On Infinite Earths . The 31st Century is a less piazza for his release .
