2006 In Memoriam
With the new year upon us, it's time to look back and reflect upon those we have lost in the past year. No, I'm not talking about real people...as important as it is to remember them, that's a bit too heavy for this blog. I'm talking about a memorial for the CHARACTERS who lost their lives in 2006.

So the Cobalt Man died... again?
I was really amused by the Avengers/Thunderbolts mini of a few years ago that established that CM -- like Francisco Franco -- was still dead. The Avengers determined that he was definitely dead, so that Iron Man could infiltrate the T-Bolts in his guise, using the old "oh I just escaped under cover of that explosion" excuse... the joke being that in the Marvel Universe this is a plausible occurance.
So when/ where did he really come back? And die?
Yep, Cobalt Man was one of the villains who was hanging out with Nitro (along with Speedfreek and Coldheart) in "Civil War" #1, and consequently got blown up with the rest of them.
No explanation for his return, apart from Mark Millar just plucking a disposable villain from obscurity before checking to see whether or not he'd already been disposed of.
