...or like, the characters that fan wants to live forever the most, are the ones that will be kept dead because the company wants to 'keep it real' by making us cry. Take Star Trek for example, they killed off the legendary James T. Kirk and then Data, for No Reason At All (they've both saved the universe before and totally did not need to die), and will be kept dead because they were the only characters fan never want to die.
I worry about the way they will bring back characters that should never have been killed off in the first place, either they'll do it cheaply, or they'll do it good and irreversibly painful (Buffy being yanked out of heaven), I can't think of how they can do it that will be very, very, good. Like, if they weren't yanked out of heaven, then where were they? This will lead to faith crisis angst.
I don't quite like the Steve that was shot was Skrull!Steve theory, because it's stupid, I know, but I kinda want Steve to be so awesome that skrulls can't imitate his awesomeness that closely.
I've also considered the Jack Harkness (Dr.Who/Torchwood) option, or, The Immortal. Like, it turns out that the serum actually gave him immortality (he appears to died, but then his body finishes healing and he wakes up). ...but than he's not the everyman with superpowers anymore, he'll be literally immortal and more removed.
Sometimes I think only the cool characters stay dead
