The recently resurrected Bucky took over for him as Captain America for the year he was "dead". (Bucky's resurrection was also dumb)
This year they killed off the Human Torch.
Super hero comics aren't very good these days story wise, aside from the Civil War story arc. That was pretty cool, but everything else has been stupid on both Marvel and DCs sides.
I hated the way they gave Wolverine a past now too. I mean it would have been alright if it weren't so dumb. Again...I won't give spoilers.

He is? can you explain with spoiler tags? I like to know this information, but I dont want to try to go through and actually read the comics. I care, just not that much lol.
They did? How did Human Torch die? I saw that Spiderman is part of the new FF which stand for freedom something...
Yeah, the last thing I read was Civil war, cause my buddies have it. Cap was rad in that one.
Whats the wolverine thing? Is it something to do with that Remus guy? I heard that was lame too. Give spoilers! I want to know! ;D

I always liked him better when his past was a mystery. They would give us tidbits of information without really telling anything, but then they had to go and ---fudgesicle--- that up.

While I agree that a comic death is rarely permanent and that the importance of the death is usually just a marketing ploy to generate more readers, the story to get there can SOMETIMES be really good. The Funeral for a Friend arc that followed Superman's death was really touching and gave characters and writers the chance to say goodbye to their hero, if only for a little while.
Feedback on the run by Jonathan Hickman which results in the death of the torch is supposed to be really really good, and is on my list of books to read in the near future. But I'll be reading with the knowledge that he won't be dead forever and the death that would "Forever change the FF!" will actually only change it for a few months or so.
Bootay:
Hope you're ready to hear the dumbest stories in comic book history. LOL
Captain America:
Captain America: Reborn #1 (Aug. 2009) reveals that Rogers did not die, and that the gun Sharon Carter had been hypnotized to use had actually caused Rogers to phase in and out of space and time, appearing at events in his lifetime and fighting battles. The Skull returns Rogers to the present, where he takes control of Rogers' mind and body. Rogers eventually regains control, and with help from his allies, defeats the Skull in the fourth and final issues of this miniseries.
Bucky's resurrection:
After Bucky's apparent death his frozen preserved body (minus an arm that got blown off in the explosion) was found and he was brought back to life by Russian scientists who attached a bionic arm to him and his mind was reprogrammed to hate Captain America. His new name was Winter Soldier. Winter Soldier was a Cap enemy for some time and then they revealed he was really Bucky. Eventually Cap turns Bucky good again. Bucky becomes the new Captain America after Steve Roger's death.
Human Torch (Who I just found out is apparently back to being alive):
In the "Three" storyline, concluding in Fantastic Four #587 (cover date March 2011, published January 26, 2011), the Human Torch appears to die fighting a horde of aliens from the otherdimensional Negative Zone. The series ended with the following issue, #588, and relaunched in March 2011 as simply FF. Spider-Man took the Torch's place on the team, as requested in the Torch's will. It is later revealed that the Human Torch was revived by a species of insect-like creatures that were implanted in his body by Annihilus in an attempt to force Storm to help open the Negative Zone portal.
Wolverine (This is a long one):
As shown in the 2001–2002 miniseries Origin, Wolverine was born as James Howlett in Alberta, Canada, in the early 1890s to rich farm owners. The character grows into manhood on a mining colony in Northern British Columbia, adopting the name "Logan." Logan leaves the colony and lives for a time in the wilderness among wolves, until returning to civilization, residing with the Blackfoot Indians. Following the death of his Blackfoot lover, Silver Fox, he is ushered into the Canadian military during World War I. Logan then spends some time in Madripoor, before settling in Japan, where he marries Itsu and has a son, Daken.
During World War II, Logan teams up with Captain America and continues a career as a soldier-of-fortune/adventurer. He then serves with the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion during D-Day, and the CIA, before being recruited by Team X, a black ops unit.
As a member of Team X, Logan is given false memory implants. He continues on the team, until he is able to break free of the mental control and joins the Canadian Defense Ministry. Logan is subsequently kidnapped by the Weapon X program, where he remains captive and experimented on, until he escapes, as shown in Barry Windsor-Smith's "Weapon X" storyline which ran in Marvel Comics Presents. It is during his imprisonment by Weapon X that he has unbreakable adamantium forcibly fused onto his bones.
Logan is eventually discovered by James and Heather Hudson, who help him recover his humanity. Following his recovery, Logan, this time under the supervision of Department H, once again works as an intelligence operative for the Canadian government. Logan becomes Wolverine, one of Canada's first superheroes. In his first mission, he is dispatched to stop the destruction caused by a brawl between the Hulk and the Wendigo.
Later on, Professor Charles Xavier recruits Wolverine to a new team of X-Men. Disillusioned with his Canadian intelligence work and intrigued by Xavier's offer, Logan resigns from Department H. It was later revealed, however, that Professor X had wiped Logan's memories and forced him to join the X-Men after Wolverine was sent to assassinate Xavier.
So yea...most of those stories are really dumb. The Bucky one wasn't too bad but was kind of a rip off of what they did in Batman with Hush.
Mikezilla:
Jesus christ. What the hell man?! I agree with what you and GV said, I liked how Wolverines past was a mystery and they only touched on it every now and then. I really liked how he and Cap were soldiers together in WW2. But all the rest of that stuff is ridiculous. A friend just texted me that they also state that Jeph Loeb (who wrote Hush in Batman, thought it was a great story) said that there is some dude named Romulus, and that he is some sort of feral king from some ancient race and said that wolverine and sabretooth are part of that race and he has manipulated him since he was born blah blah blah...
I hate how he isnt called Logan either, that its James Howlett. Thats retarded. ::)
Thanks Bootay for posting this! :applaud: :cheers:
