Death is a funny thing. At least, where Marvel Comics is concerned. Because this fictional universe has a very loose relationship with what the term means. Death is a character. Death is a place. Death is the way of things. Major comic book characters like Bucky have been killed off and then brought back to life. Others, like Uncle Ben, have consistently remained in the grave, in spite of the narrative potential they bring. Some figures, like Daredevil, have even traveled to the afterlife, only to return as a changed man. Interestingly, a couple of characters have a recurring relationship with death.There are a select few heroes and villains who have been killed countless times over, and yet it never seems to stick. While the Mutants once cheated death with the resurrection protocols, it is Wolverine who has perhaps witnessed what it looks like on the other side, the most. Mr. Immortal, equally, doesn’t seem to want to stay dead. Jean Grey, Ben Reilly, and Deadpool are all worth a mention, too. Whether these deaths truly work and make an impact is up for debate. There is one character whose deaths have become integral to Marvel lore, though.For fans of the comics who are yet to dive deep into the MCU and for those unfamiliar with the character, Agent Phil Coulson was initially introduced as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. working alongside both Maria Hill and S.H.I.E.L.D. Director, Nick Fury. One of the most well-respected and trusted agents in the business, Coulson’s interest in the superhero community stemmed from his love for Captain America. A true fan of the patriotic soldier, Coulson has similarly served his country, helping Fury on the Avengers Initiative by keeping tabs on all those heroes that may factor into the agency’s plans.
