Poison Ivy died? When?

Billuccho!

03:16 / 21.07.05

Joker's not dead, as he'll be back next month or so. And all signs point to Ivy's death being faked.

rabideyemovement

03:49 / 21.07.05

Of course they aren't really dead. Only the B-Listers get to stay dead.

rabideyemovement

04:26 / 21.07.05

I keep coming up with more.

Skeets, Booster's robot
Shrapnel
Doc from the Omega Men

Woah, waitwaitwait, when did they kill the Hourman android from the year 85,371?

rabideyemovement

05:21 / 21.07.05

Hourman II went back in time to when Hourman I died and tried to replace him, but was himself replaced at the last moment by the android. And I guess Hourman and Hourman Jr are still aprt of the JSA.

How did joker die?

05:37 / 21.07.05

Hourman II went back in time to when Hourman I died and tried to replace him, but was himself replaced at the last moment by the android. And I guess Hourman and Hourman Jr are still aprt of the JSA.

Though in recent issues of JSA its been suggested that Android Hourman gets rebuilt by Hourman I. Stargirl II from the future uses Tyler's 'Tachyon pills' to assist Stargirl I in the past suggesting he is again active in the future...

I am now officially directing all my non-comics reading friends to this thread.

They didn't actually say Joker was dead, but they kind of implied that Jason Todd did a thorough job with his crowbar. Of course WE know better.

08:04 / 21.07.05

....continuing the list....

Harbinger
Major Force (unless his head survived)
Steel
Human Bomb (I think)
Black Bison
Parasite IV
Hawkman (again)
all those Darkstars
Hyena
Indigo/Braniac 8
Hades
Chase Lawler (Manhunter IV)
Shrapnel
Knockout

What the hell is going on at DC?

So, has Sue Dibney been retrocatively un-raped yet?

FinderWolf

12:37 / 21.07.05

Now, I'd just like to point out there that *many* of the 'deaths' and actual deaths listed here have nothing whatsoever to do with Identity or Infinite Crisis, they're just things that occurred (or didn't occur) in the course of regular life in the DCU.

For example, Ted Knight (Starman II) died about 9 years ago in the end of the James Robinson Starman comic. Hardly IC-related.

Where and when was Poison Ivy's death 'faked'? That god-awful storyline with Hush in Gotham Knights?

ONLY NICE THINGS

12:37 / 21.07.05

Hang on... didn't Ted Knight die of bomb in Starman: Grand Guignol? Who the Hell woould bring back an octogenarian ex-Starman?

Ah. It was Geoff Johns, wasn't it?

ONLY NICE THINGS

09:44 / 29.07.05

OK - Maxwell Lord and maybe Rocket Red 7 (Although whether that's Dimitri or not, God knows) have gone, but on the plus side Brother Eye is now live and in full effect.

Kirk Ultra

11:36 / 29.07.05

Steel is dead? when did that happen?

ONLY NICE THINGS

11:51 / 29.07.05

Well, he died during "Our Worlds at War", but came back with some extra-cool armour made out of an Imperiex probe - don't even ask. He may or may not have died again since. Rabideyemovement's list is not limited to Identity Crisis, as far as I can tell, but is just a list of everyone he can think of who has died in the DC universe.

rabideyemovement

15:16 / 29.07.05

Actually I was trying to keep in the past two years, the current creative teams, but yeah, I accidentally got a few misplaced in my timeline there.

from topic abstact, just to nitpick

>> Who the Hell woould bring back an octogenarian ex-Starman?

>> Ah. It was Geoff Johns, wasn't it?

No one brought him back, he died and has stayed dead. (although he did make an appearance in the recent JSA-goes-back-in-time to the Golden Age storyline over in JSA, penned by Johns).

10:01 / 30.07.05

Well, it seems as if there's another name to add to the list: BIG SPOILERS-DON'T CLICK UNLESS YOU WANT TO KNOW
Despite my reservations about the way things are going, that kind of struck me as a cool twist.

Kirk Ultra

Greg Rucka is such an ass. His "Whiteout" cred ran out a long time ago. I'm going to have to call "emporer has no clothes" on that guy.

Juan_Arteaga

00:39 / 31.07.05

I am quite sure Greg Rucka still has a pair of underpants on... with a G string.

I like Greg Rucka on cops and spies and everybody else who doesn't have superpowers. On superheroes... no, he doesn't fit in.
