Namor was entombed alive. He was, in fact, not dead for thousands of years.

Captain America, believed to have been killed after falling into the icy waters of the North Atlantic, spent 60 years frozen in suspended animation and never actually died. Norman Osborne, a.k.a the Goblin, believed to have been killed after being shot by a police helicopter and then falling into a river, was also not dead. At least not then.

Xavier brainwashed Magneto and told everyone he died. He didn't. Norman Osborne died maybe a couple of more times. Eddie Brock became Venom and was killed by a massive electrical charge - a death which he secretely survived. Wolverine let Cyclops fall to his death. Except Cycops didn't actually die. The injured Beast had his death televised. But the X-Men didn't know he was alive. So it was true. For a while. But he didn't die.

Neither did Dr. Octopus die nor did many of his mechanical arms die. At least not for long.

Once again proving that sais matter, Elektra sank a blade into Felicia’s chest and the Black Cat took a dive from the roof into the sea. Apparently, she died. Apparently not, as she came back and kicked ass a couple of months later.

Carnage killed Gwen. Gwen became Carnage. Or something. I think she may have died too.

Gambit was killed by the Juggernaut but then kept alive after being absorbed by Rogue. The Hulk escaped certain nuclear execution and hides out in the Himalayas. Don't let him fool ya - nothing but pain for any who might dismiss the Hulk as dead.

The Magician faked his own death. Cable faked Xavier's death.

Thanos killed Reed Rihards. But Atrea revived Reed, allowing him to slay the immortal Thanos with the Cosmic Cube. The Kingpin left Moon Knight for dead, only to have Moon Knight survive and rat him out to the cops. Northstar died from a Banshee overdose.

Except he didn't actually die.

At some point there may have been actual zombies running around. But that sounds too fantastic.

Phoenix destroyed Apocalypse. Maybe. I believe that she could but still doubt that she has.

And now the Watchers are saying the whole thing is gonna blow. I don’t know if these solar powered patio lantern Watcher thingies are alive or not, but they may have a point.
