Whenever I hear something like, "A major Marvel character will die!", I think back to Enemy of the State, which promised Wolverine would kill a fellow X-Man.

He killed Northstar, the one active X-Man not assigned to a book/team at the moment. And he returned to life three issues later.

Context is key, I suppose.
