If we kill death so nobody can die, did death really die?
Greetings nerd squad welcome back to top 10 nerd, im your host connor munro and I was
gonna walk into a bank to ask about life insurance, but after I did I coughed.
So I just left.
Comics have a trope for killing off heroes just to bring them back a few issues later,
but which of the supers do we know (or maybe not know) that cant be defeated by the peasants
word known as death?
That’s what we’re exploring with this list of the Top 10 Scary Superheroes Who Cant
Die.
Be sure you’re subscribed if you haven’t yet because we have daily nerdy content for
you to digest and binge while you self isolate, but I mean we all did that anyway didn’t
we?
Now, lets get started.
#10 Squirrel Girl There are 2 types of people in this world,
those who have heard of squirrel girl and those who don’t know what true happiness
really is.
Suffering a modification in her genes for unknown reasons, Doreen Green gained squirrel
like abilities, most obviously in the form of a prehensile tail, but she was somehow
not a mutant.
She realized she could communicate with squirrels when she overheard one in her window.
She saved it from being chased by a dog, and they ultimately became friends.
That squirrel, encouraged her to use her powers to help people, but also he called himself
Monkey Joe, and I don’t know if that means he’s a comedian or if he’s stupid.
Her first appearance was in Marvel super-heroes vol 2 #8 in 1991 alongside iron man, but only
really got traction in the 21st century when fans went nuts for her.
Get it?
Nuts for her?
Cause she’s a squirrel girl?
Well anyway due to her popularity and wholesome nature, there isn’t really gonna be an opportunity
for her to get killed off.
Especially when she’s gone up against Galactus, Thanos, and Doctor Doom without a scratch.
Unless we are to believe rick and morty, which says that if you overhear squirrels you need
to leave the whole dimension, so I think that is the really scary part, she is probably
in cahoots.
#9 Headpool On earth 2149, the reality was similar to
that of the 616 universe we are familiar with, with only a few differences.
One of them being Steve Rogers was Colonel America, one of them being a literal zombie
plague that turned all superheroes into zombies.
Fairly topical if you ask me, well the deadpool of this universe has another thing coming.
Since after a fight with the silver surfer he was brought to earth 616 where he took
out Jennifer Kale’s magic.
He was thought to have been killed when he got lured into the blades of a nearby skiff,
completely obliterating him.
But since he was the only one with the virus on this earth, he was contained by ARMOR.
Deadpool was now only a head, but still managed to escape ARMOR hq with the help of Simon
Garth.
Headpool is basically just zombie deadpools head and the fact that this thing exists is
so deadpool it hurts.
And the fact that he didn’t die when reduced to only a head, something that would kill
literally almost anyone else is proof enough that headpool cannot be killed.
The merc with half a mouth is still hopping around and gonna bust a cap in your butt because
it’s the only thing he can reach with the gun.
Pretty funny but also scary since you know, it’s a thing.
#8 Lobo Let’s face it, lobo is one pretty scary
looking dude.
While first he was introduced as a villain in the 80’s, he was revived as an anti-hero
in the early 90’s after his creators forgot about him.
Lobo is one crazy bounty hunter, with muscles that are more ripped than my homework everytime
I told my teachers my dog had eaten it, and with the attitude and outfit to match.
I think the scariest part about him though is the hair.
He even ended up joining the new justice league at one point becoming one of its founding
members.
Lobo probably has one of the coolest power sets, while it may not be super speed or the
power of the gods, he can shake off blows from even superman, taking planet destroying
attacks without a scratch.
But he is also banned from entering both heaven and hell.
Making him functionally immortal.
If you aren’t allowed into the afterlife im pretty sure you wont be able to even get
the chance to.
And honestly im already banned from entering one of them, all I need is for the other to
hate me and im golden.
Ill be in the same boat as lobo.
Wish I was that ripped though.
#7 The Eternal Warrior Being named such because he existed prior
to recorded history, the eternal warrior is one of 3 brothers who are also as ancient
as my grade 12 comtech teacher.
He has defended earth for thousands of years and has acquired a millennia of military knowledge
and more than just that, he has seen history unfold.
Other than being immortal he possesses increased strength, agility, incredible durability and
an incredibly impressive healing factor, that allowed for him to survive nuclear fallout.
Within the Valiant universe that he was written into, there is no known way of killing him.
He is sword to protect the geomancers to ensure their survival, these people have a special
bond with the earth and there must always be one alive to protect it and speak for it.
In more ways than one the eternal warrior is the protector of earth more than Hal Jordan
or any other hero, as long as the planet exists, the eternal warrior will as well.
Which is pretty dope, when only the inevitable heat death of the universe can kill you.
#6 Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze agrees to give his soul to the
devil in order to save his father’s life.
Because of this at night, when he is around evil, he becomes surrounded in literal hellfire
and his head becomes a fiery skull.
First appearing Marvel Spotlight #5, Ghost Rider rides a fiery motorcycle and can launch
blasts of hell fire from his typically skeletal hands.
There have been many incarnations of Ghost Rider over the years, notably Johnny Blaze,
Noble Kale, Danny Ketch, and Robbie Reyes.
The fact that there will never not be a ghost rider serves as more of a permanent way to
not being able to die, but that’s in spirit.
The whole making a deal with the devil and becoming a literal hellfire demon when around
evil thing helps too and is probably more along the lines of what was wanted for this
list.
Especially because who doesn’t want to ride that cool of a motorcycle.
I remember in highschool I wanted to get my motorcycle license instead of my driver’s
license since I could drive a motorcycle by myself faster than a car but my mom wouldn’t
let me.
Well look at me now mom!
On my own and unable to afford the test or even a damn motorcycle.
#5 The Hulk The hulk is one bad mamajama and the fact
that he is made from radiation should remind you that there is no way to kill this guy.
Bruce himself even said in the first avenges movie he tried to kill himself as Bruce but
hulk spit the bullet out.
This is even further solidified by the Future Imperfect storyline, where Hulk travels 100
years into the future to see himself, still alive even after a nuclear war that had killed
almost all of earths superhumans.
This war by the way had also taken the world to the brink of extinction, making hulk or
Maestro as he was known then one of the only remaining souls in existence.
This in combination with Maestro absorbing the radiation from the nukes giving him increased
strength proves to be to much for professor hulk, Maestro is only able to be destroyed
by the same bomb that created the hulk in the first place.
Which is honestly understandable, like your parents saying I brought you into this world
I can take you out.
Which isn’t legal even if you are the parents, but still, same concept.
#4 The Spectre The Spectre is an entity who needs to bind
itself to the soul of a human being.
However, the human who becomes the spectre must already be dead, which may defeat the
purposes of this list if you think about it, but im talking about the spectre itself not
the person it inhabits.
The spectre is omnipotent and immortal, having powers over reality, inter-dimensional travel,
technically resurrection and increasing to infinite size and a lot more than honestly
don’t make a whole lot of sense, but honeslty its comics.
Not making sense is making sense.
The spectre has had many hosts over the years, Jim Corrigan, Crispus Allen, Hal Jordan and
Oliver Queen to name a few.
The latter being in the CW’s crisis on infinite earths crossover.
Where while Oliver Queen might have died, the spectre itself is impossible to destroy
making him probably the most powerful being in the DC universe.
#3 Franklin Richards Hey its franklin!
Franklin Richards is one powerful kiddo, like the son of a Karen who stepped on a lego with
a full shoe on but who’s crying because he broke the lego powerful.
The mutant son of Sue Storm and Reed Richards is one of the most powerful being in marvel
cannon.
This omega level mutant possesses the ability to completely alter reality, and that in a
way makes him immortal.
Having complete control over the fundamental forces of the universe is a pretty big power
to have when you’re a toddler who just wants chickie nugs and chocco milk.
His powers even allowing to perceive future events.
Sure you could just push him out a window after he climbed up a tower, but he’ll just
get a wheelchair and become king later on.
What im saying with that analogy that’s as good as that ending is that he would see
it coming, and could just alter life so that it would never happen.
Plus he can travel through time.
This kid can make a pocket universe under his bed sheets when he should be sleeping.
The laws of reality don’t apply to this kid.
So you will never be able to kill him.
#2 Everyone on Earth 10011 Earth 10011 is also known as the cancerverse,
an earth who’s history is identical to that of the main earth 616, but with the avatar
of death being destroyed when Mar-Vell was on his deathbed.
Using a ritual known as Necropsy, they eliminated the avatar of death, making it impossible
for anyone to ever die on this earth.
However, this doesn’t mean that you stay in your prime forever, no the avatar of aging,
if that’s even a thing, is still kicking and you’re gonna have more wrinkles than
a kardashian before going to see doctor fixmeup.
Death is literally dead, there is no way you can die on this earth.
That’s all I can really say about this.
I wanted this to be number one, but there is something more current that
makes some more sense.
#1 Leezle Pon Leezle Pon is one of the more obscure members
of the green lantern Corps, id say one of the most obscure in all honesty.
And while Leezle may not be able to be killed, but the reasoning requires some explanation.
Leezle Pon is a smallpox virus.
Being microscopic, yet sentient and capable enough to wield a green lantern ring.
It goes on missions other lanterns cant undertake, be it physically or biologically.
To be honest, Leezle has played an integral role in various lantern events, like in the
Sinestro Corps War, where he helped to save Guy Gardner’s life by defeating Sinestro’s
virus.
Leezle cannot be killed because He’s a virus, and technically a virus is not a living organism.
Viruses are defined as organisms on the edge of life, since they defy all standard definitions
of being alive.
So while almost alive, they’re not.
And therefore cannot be killed in the same way.
It can be destroyed, but not killed, because technically it was never really alive.
And I figured a virus was pretty topical for this list.
There we have it friends the top 10 scary superheroes who cant die.
What did you think of this list and what are your thoughts on defeating the avatar of death
with me?
Im okay with purple decaying flesh!
