Warning! Spoilers for Silver Surfer Rebirth #1 by Marvel Comics
The longtime Avenger Mar-Vell just returned from the dead in Silver Surfer Rebirth #1, only to be tragically killed almost right away. In the new miniseries, Silver Surfer is surprised after encountering the long-dead hero, only to watch him die at the hands of Thanos. However, the Mad Titan promises that Mar-Vell's death was of no consequence as they both have much bigger problems to worry about going forward.
The original Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell, was a Kree superhero who was one of Marvel's most notable cosmic heroes after debuting in Marvel Super-Heroes #12 by Stan Lee and Gene Colan back in 1967.

The hero recently appeared in Captain Marvel's ongoing series, but as a dark version of the hero created by Vox Supreme.
