Norman OSborn was also the big bad guy in the last 2099 series.. I definitely liked him better as a psycho than a Lex clone.. if they needed to do that, they should have used Justin Hammer!

That is something that really bugs me. They change a great character into a character that already exists, and sometimes a character they already have.

For me, it would be a hero taking a dark path or just making bad decisions, and then it turns out that all that time they were secretly possessed, mind-controlled, etc., and thus their infallible goodness is intact. Once as a surprise twist, sure, but now it's as meaningless as "death".

Issue #1's. Once a series has one, let the issue count fly unless it's truly a brand new series or a lot of time has passed since cancellation of the prior. It's more special that way.

I mean, if you were to leave the past untouched, then Captain America shouldn't have returned in the Silver Age, and so on and so on Man, can you imagine the Marvel universe without Captain America or Namor being brought back in the Avengers or FF?
I'm still all for Bucky never coming back, but The Winter Soldier was such a great idea that I really didn't mind in the end

I think it's ok to bring a character back if there's a legit story behind it... like Cap, or Bucky. When you just make Death a revolving door, it loses all it's appeal. At this point every Avengers has been 'dead' for a while, and come back, usually for no greater reason than the new writing wanted to use them. That's not how a shared universe should work, IMO.
Tony Stark alone has died... 4 times I think? First around 274 I think to make room for War Machine.. but that was quickly shown as a fake (issue 300 I think?). Then again for the Crossing (ugh!) just a couple years later.. where he was replaced with a teenaged version of himself, which quickly got back to normal after Heroes Reborn/Return (not event counting that as a death). Next we have Civil War II to make room for Riri, though of course he was still around as an AI. Then he sort of dies and comes back during the 2020 story line.. I mean come on. It's ridiculous.
And now Marvel has said the last time Tony came back what he did can be done for anyone.. once. Between that and the X-Men, they've literally made death impermanent, as long as you're important enough.
Hey, that might make a good story...
