Heroic Sacrifice/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

*** It wasn't retconned, {{spoiler|Colossus ''did'' die back then. But then crazy aliens resurrected him for... some reason.}}

* In ''[[Astro City]]'', the Confessor sacrificed his "life" and reputation to stop an alien invasion -- the reputation because the sacrifice revealed that he was a vampire, and made him appear to be a serial killer.

* Mr. Immortal from the ''[[Great Lakes Avengers]]'' did a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] in the end of Issue #4 by committing suicide. Since his power is to return from the dead, that wasn't that heroic, or much of a sacrifice to begin with. Doorman on the other hand let himself die by getting Mr. Immortal to that very place, but he [[Death Is Cheap|returned to life]] as some sort of angel of death.

* ''X-Man'' ended with Nate Grey destroying his body, becoming [[Pure Energy]], and merging with every organism on the planet in order to prevent a [[Planet Eater]] alien from harvesting all mitochondria on Earth (From the alien's perspective, Nate's energy contaminated the "crop").

* Done by {{spoiler|the All-Purpose Power Tool}} in ''[[Steelgrip Starkey And The All-Purpose Power Tool]]'', as part of an effort to contain a runaway nuclear reactor.

* In ''[[V for Vendetta]]'', it's Rosemary Almond, a mere housewife whose whole life has been destroyed by Norsefire who decides to sacrifice herself (and avenge herself), by killing Commander Adam Susan, the state's dictator, knowing full well what would happen to her if she did so. She is then mobbed by a horde of Fingermen. Her final fate is unclear, but it's probable that she doesn't survive.

** Tommy Turtle, having been [[Grand Theft Me|body jacked]] by [[AI Is a Crapshoot|A.D.A.M.]], allows himself to be destroyed by the Egg Fleet.

** Sir Connery sacrificed his life force to destroy the corrupted Crown and Sword of Acorns.
