Marvel Says Death of High-Profile Hero Ignites "Civil War II"

[Danileriver23]

6 months until this event kicks off and we already know, thanks to Marvel's own editors and creators, that a "high-profile hero" is going to die...

Soon they will tell us who, how and, before the end of the event, when that "high-profile hero" will be back.

And we won't need to buy the books.

100000% agreed

My first instinct:

Because the focal point of CWII is Stark vs Carol Danvers - the murdered party may be Jessica Drew.

Carol is Jess's best friend and her murder leaves the new baby an orphan in her care.

If the killer turns out to be the father of the baby, this doubles down on her inner rage, quest for
vengence and a vow to use the predictive powers of this new character to stop perpetrators of
domestic violence before they commit crimes like these (ala Minority Report).

Although Tony has compassion for these circumstances and loved Jess in his own way, he has to
stand firm on the principle of 'guilty until proven innocent' as a result of his experiences in the first
CW.

This narrative fits the bill as far as, potential scenarios that would split the fans right down the middle between
the POV of Carol vs Tony. It has a lot of emotional power and depth, it would be sure to get people all worked up
and fighting for one side or another. Which is the entire point of the thing.

This is stupid. Now character deaths are becoming events themselves.

I suppose anyone with a movie deal can be considered safe.

She has a book though and it's selling okay so no, but they could put the baby in danger hence giving Carol a reason to be for precog.

Wow. That's actually a great story, and I hope they give Carol something like that to justify her actions, but I don't wanna see Jess dying :/

[Cyclops' Optometrist]

Looking at this synopsis, it seems someone in Marvel creative watched and really liked Minority Report.

Basically.

I actually had a similar thought and man I would be all over that. Except that Jessica Drew currently has her own on going series and I don't think it would be fair to Dennis Hopeless to have that cut so short again (I think he got screwed over by Spider Verse and Secret Wars)

2. Jess has the Spider-Women event coming up that is going to be ongoing probably about the same time as Civil War II. NOW granted Jess and Silk are gonna be stuck in Spider-Gwen's dimension and Carol may not know what happened to her. But I don't think they are gonna kill of Jess.

[TomSlick]

While folks are trying to guess who will die, I have a different take on the question: Will it be a character who has died before? If so, then that's lame.

I'm trying to think of an A-level characters or even B plus level who hasn't "died."

I could be wrong, but maybe Black Widow or She-Hulk? There's probably some A listers in the X-Men, like Rogue or Storm. The Falcon? Has quicksilver ever died? LOL.

[mreddie]

I do think Quicksilver might die, they have said it's a roadmap of MCU

[Danileriver23]

Wow. That's actually a great story, and I hope they give Carol something like that to justify her actions, but I don't wanna see Jess dying :/

I'd say it's more likely it's Rhodes, as he was her former flame and he is tony's best friend.

Lots of feels to fight over there.

Manpainning: acceptable idea when women do it.

Surprised to Star-Lord on the cover, but not really. Gotta shoehorn the GotG into this event somehow.

[rward777]

And how long will that hero stay dead?

Not a bad idea. Although I genuinely don't think Jess is going to die what with the Spider-Women event coming up, her solo seems to be doing ok sales wise etc.

And how long will that hero stay dead?

Until Issue (whatever the final number is of the story LOL)

[Chris Lang]

And how long will that hero stay dead?

Depends on just how 'high profile' the character is.
