However this entire idea contradicts almost every other example of death and the afterlife in Marvel comics.
There seem to be multiple afterlives in Marvel and many characters have died and found their souls in different afterlives in which they remained conscious and even returned to tell their experience (Logan’s soul went to hell where he met long dead friends and families and the F4 went to heaven to ask for Ben Grimm to be brought back to life). This would be impossible if these examples and many others all had the same fate as Mr. Garlick.
How would you guys fit this story with Marvel canon which shows the opposite?
My original head canon had thought that Marvel souls are immortal albeit still prone to being destroyed. So could it still be considered to be true and that Oblivion’s “void” of non existence is just one of many possible afterlife destinations and that not every soul is necessarily automatically bound to experience impending this non existence? Is there anything in actual Marvel canon which goes against this idea?
