Line 40:
* Cause: [[Heroic Sacrifice]], so he's not coming back from that too quickly, or the sacrifice will be cheapened. 3.
* Genre: It's a comic book, so [[Death Is Cheap]]. 1.
* The Body: [[Deader Than Dead]], a [[PietaPietà Plagiarism]] too for supes sake! So no chance of [[Faking the Dead]]. 4.
* Reaction: [[Really Dead Montage]], uh-oh. 4.
* Characterization: Protagonist. 1.
Line 88:
* Average: 15.5/6, We have a pretty high score here too, 2.58, but there's still deader. Odds are he returns in a year or two. (I mean, ''Bucky'' just came back, if he can do it, how hard can it be for Cap?). If you acknowledge Fallen Son as a montage, it increases to 16/6 or 2.67. Adding the fact that he's died (or at least been frozen in the Arctic for decades) gives 19/7 or 2.71.
* {{spoiler|If TPTB are telling the truth, he'll be coming back in July 2 1/2 years after his death}}
** Well, the BBC has confirmed the 5 issue series where Captain America comes back is on July 1st1. Making it April 2007 to July 2009, so 26 months, pushing ''just'' past 2 years compared to Superman's 17 months. Hmm, the algorithm could perhaps be fine tuned...
* As of Captain America: Reborn (July '09) Cap was never dead in the first place. "The gun used on him instead transported him to a fixed position in space and time."
 
Line 175:
* Characterization: Regular/protagonist. 1.5.
* When did they die?: Uh...same arc, I guess. 1(?).
* "Died" and come back?: Do [[Alternate Universe|Alternate Universes]]s count? If so, 3; if not, 4.
* Result: Either 19 / 10 = 1.9, or 20 / 10 = 2. Very good odds.
