Every Marvel Superhero The MCU Has Killed Off (Who Stayed Dead)

Although the Marvel Cinematic Universe has often been criticized for repeatedly including fake-out deaths, the reality is that both reversible and permanent deaths are key elements of the superhero mythos. Which Avengers died permanently, survived, and could still return are equally important to the overarching themes that hold up the MCU. That said, in the infinite multiverse where ancient magicks, futuristic technologies, and countless Multiverse variants allow for any dead Marvel characters to somehow return, permanent superhero deaths hold considerably more weight for audiences. This can be observed in how dead Avengers continue to shape the direction of the MCU timeline.
