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 49:
----
 
'''Now let's make a prediction with the recent death of [[Batman (Comic Book)|Batman]] in [[Final Crisis]].'''
* Cause: [[Heroic Sacrifice]], give or take. 3.
* Genre: Comic book, so [[Death Is Cheap]]. 1.
Line 71:
* Body found: {{spoiler|It was all just an illusion}} the first time. The second time, she was dead and buried - {{spoiler|with her head still missing, since the Hebbleskin Gang had already made her skull a museum exhibit along with the skulls of her three (also decapitated) sisters}}. - About a 3.5.
* Reaction:
** First time: Kolumn is ecstatic; Dolly declares that [[It's Personal]] and nearly forfeits her soul to the [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot|Earwig suit helmet AI]] just to get revenge.
** Second time: [[It's Personal]]! Dana is forced to keep her eyelids open and watch as her mother is beheaded right in front of her! And ''then'', they try to kill Dana ''in the exact same manner'' on ''the exact same block'' with ''the exact same blade'', without even bothering to clean up first. - 2
* Characterization: Protagonist in ''Ciem 3''. Dana's mother during the ''Ciem Tomorrow'' arc. Median value of 2.5.
Line 82:
By the ''Ciem Tomorrow'' arc, her sisters are all pretty much [[Deader Than Disco]], with an average score of about 3.375.

''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]''
 
* Dream Jade
Line 106:
** Died and came back?: No. 4
* Total: 20
* 20/7=2.86: May be back, but don't bet on it.
* {{spoiler|No, he's still not back. PSYCHE}}
** {{spoiler|Now there's a version of Bro in the post-scratch session. Might not count, since it isn't the same Bro.}}
Line 197:
** When did they die?: Same act. 1
** Died and came back?: Nope. 4
* Total:
* 23/7 ~ 3.29. Best hope for [[Stable Time Loop|WEIRD TIME SHIT]].
** {{spoiler|Alternate-universe versions of both are now alive. This may or may not count.}}
Line 213:
 
Another argument:
** Cause of Death: It's basically a [[HeelDeadly Face Door SlamChange-of-Heart]]. 3.5
** Genre: 4
** Body Found?: 4
Line 422:

Mike from [[College Roomies From HellCRFH]]
* Cause of death: [[Heroic Sacrifice]] (he was trying to keep April from stabbing Marsha). 3
* Genre: Debatable. In-comic events would indicate [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]; [[Word of God]] is [[Killed Off for Real]]. Call it 3.
* Body found: Dead and buried. 4
* Reaction: [[He's Dead, Jim]]. 3
Line 437:
 
{{spoiler|Zoë}}
* Cause of death: [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]] {{spoiler|more like dropped a fireball on her}} - 4
* Genre: Hard to decide, has elements of [[Killed Off for Real]] and [[Death Is Cheap]]. Average - 2
* Body found: Pulled a [[Died in Your Arms Tonight]] with {{spoiler|Riff}}, body was not found later - 3
Line 447:
* Result: 24/8 = 3.0 things don't look good for her
 
** {{spoiler|She's alive, but not exactly feeling [[Kill It Withwith Fire|her]] [[And I Must Scream|best]]}}
 
Steve Hereti
Line 455:
* Reaction: [[He's Dead, Jim]] - 3
* Last Words: [[Famous Last Words|Famous Last Speech]] - 3
* Characterization: Because of what he [[Brainwashed and Crazy|did]] [[Yandere|to]] [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|Oasis]], he could be seen as a [[Big Bad]]. On the safe side he's at - 2
* When did he die: 10+ Years Ago - 4
* Died and come back: Not yet - 4
Line 461:
----
 
'''[[Drow TalesDrowtales]]'''

* Cause of death: [[Karmic Death]], [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|Overkill]] - 4
* Genre: [[Anyone Can Die]] - 4
* Body found: [[Off Withwith His Head|Lost her head]] ''and'' had her [[Kill It Withwith Fire|body burned]] - 4

{{spoiler|Syphile}}
* Cause of death: [[Death Byby Irony]], [[What an Idiot!]] - 4
* Genre: [[Anyone Can Die]] - 4
* Body found: Presumably buried - 3
Line 502:
 
* Cause of death: [[No One Could Survive That]] - 1 (the hospital he was convalescing in exploded while under attack)
* Genre: [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]] - 1 (people are regularly brought back to life if the head is intact, and many people are enhanced and very hard to kill)
* Body found: [[Never Found]] - 2 (someone was looking for him in the hospital ''before'' it exploded, and couldn't find him)
* Reaction: [[Faux Death]] - 1 (His son specifically comments, "Surely you have more faith in my father than that. Have they found his body?")
