Latest revision as of 18:23, 3 December 2024

In the course of DC Comics' 2005–2006 event Infinite Crisis (the seven-issue limited series, its lead-in stories, and various tie-ins), numerous characters died, went missing, returned from death or long absences, took new superhero identities, or underwent other significant changes as individual characters.

Deaths

[edit]

Leadup to Infinite Crisis

[edit]

These characters died during Infinite Crisis lead-up events, beginning with Countdown to Infinite Crisis:

Infinite Crisis

[edit]

In addition to millions of deaths worldwide (e.g., Blüdhaven populace), these characters died during the publication of Infinite Crisis and connected stories:

Unconfirmed deaths

[edit]

These characters appeared to die during Infinite Crisis and lead-up storylines, but their deaths or possible survival remained either unconfirmed or debatable by the series' end. (Refer to these characters' individual articles to see if they returned or were confirmed dead after Infinite Crisis #7.)

In the case of the Demolition Team and the Supermen of America, it is unclear how many (if any) of their members were slain by OMACs.

Missing

[edit]

These characters disappeared or went missing during Infinite Crisis and lead-up storylines. Note to readers: Many of these characters may return or already have, as revealed in "One Year Later" stories or hinted at in Infinite Crisis #7's two-page splash showing heroes to be featured in upcoming projects, but remain listed here because this article is about their in-story status as of the end of Infinite Crisis. (Refer to their individual articles to see if they later returned.)

Characters noted below as having gone missing during Infinite Crisis #4 or Infinite Crisis #6 were confirmed missing in Infinite Crisis #7.

Returns

[edit]

These characters returned from death or a prolonged absence sometime following the publication of Countdown to Infinite Crisis:

  • Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld (Infinite Crisis #7; was seen battling the Spectre on Gemworld, later aided in the reconstruction of the Rock of Eternity and the summoning of the Specter in Infinite Crisis #6)
  • Alexander Luthor Jr. (Infinite Crisis #1, but posed as the Society's Luthor as early as Countdown to Infinite Crisis; see Deaths above)
  • Captain Atom (Infinite Crisis #7)
  • Crispus Allen (Infinite Crisis #4, as new host for the Spectre; technically still dead)
  • Kal-L, Superman of Earth-Two (Infinite Crisis #1; see Deaths above)
  • Kid Eternity (Teen Titans #31)
  • Lady Quark (Villains United #5)
  • Legion of Super-Heroes - "Reboot" team (Infinite Crisis #6, revealed to be inhabitants of Earth-247)
  • Lois Lane of Earth-Two (Infinite Crisis #1; see Deaths above)
  • Rocket Red Brigade (Villains United Infinite Crisis Special #1)
  • Superboy-Prime (Infinite Crisis #1, but has been active for some time; was glimpsed in JLA #119; see New or changed below)
  • Jason Todd (Batman #617, Batman #638)
  • Donna Troy (DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy #1)
  • Wonder Woman of Earth-Two (Infinite Crisis #5; see Deaths above)

Also, several characters from alternate continuities appeared in single-panel cameos when their respective alternate Earths emerged in Infinite Crisis #6. Although some had appeared in recent years (e.g., heroes of Fawcett City, Tangent Comics, DC Comics Western comics, and the Earth-247 Legion of Super-Heroes) and some characters that had appeared in other media but had never previously appeared in comic book form (e.g., heroes from the 1970s Wonder Woman television programs), several others made their first appearance since before Crisis on Infinite Earths. They included:
