It did, when Deadpool was supposed to steal something for Cable and ran into Diamondback, Black Mamba and the last one...forgot her name. BM could make dream induced blackouts.

I'm sorry you were saying?

Deadpool and Black Widow. Yeah, he also likes the Siren. As stated before, I think his thing for Cable is a man crush just all, it's like all the kids who love Chuck Norris. Also, stop ruining my childhood.

I'm fairly certain the Barry Allen Flash has stayed dead.

No, he came back and ruined the whole DC universe.

It's just a joke statement from the late 80's.

A common expression regarding comic book death was once "The only people who stay dead in comics, are Bucky, Jason Todd, and Uncle Ben."

And of course, 2 of those people are alive again which somehow only makes the statement more powerful.

Just a sore spot I guess. Once Barry came back I knew Wally was on death's door. I just didn't expect them to kill a whole universe and delete the stuff I favored to do it.

Anyway, Peter's death bring up a bigger point. Why do the writer's seem to hate a heroic death? They seem to prefer tragic and pointless over any other option.

"Because heroic deaths are sooooo clichè, I want MY story to have a special ending that no one's done before! Yeah, I'm a rebel!"

Well, to be fair, I'm pretty sure this is the first comic death to have the hero tragically switched into the body of a cancer-ridden, colossal ass-hat, where the villain decides to go good instead of just tarnishing the hero's name. Also, having relatives who passed away from cancer...Doc Ock's appearance looks like no cancer victim I've ever seen. Who drew that turd?
