Death is an incredibly common occurrence in the world of Marvel Comics. Every major supervillain died and returned at least once, while lesser known villains who didn't come back to life at least got a memorable death. However, not all Marvel villains were fated to have a dignified death, let alone a mildly respectable one.

Whether it was because of dumb luck or a morbid sense of karma, these villains' deaths were simply embarrassing. Some of these deaths were funny in a darkly humorous way, others were well-deserved humiliations. In the end, there's a reason both heroes and villains almost never bring up these deaths in conversation.

10 Snakehead Forgot To Duck

King In Black: Thunderbolts (Vol. 1) #1, By Writer Matthew Rosenberg, Penciler/Inker/Colorist Juan Ferreya, And Letterer Joe Sabino

Snakehead listens to Kingpin in King in Black Thunderbolts 1

King in Black: Thunderbolts by Matthew Rosenberg, Juan Ferreya, and Joe Sabino promised that none of the Thunderbolts' conscripted villains were safe. The first issue made true of this by killing three villains right away. That said, Snakehead had the most unceremonious and hilariously grim demise.

After one line of dialogue, Snakehead was eaten by a symbiote dragon. Snakehead was ripped in half only because she was in front of Mr. Fear, and he picked up a shiny object on the ground. King in Black: Thunderbolts #1 was Snakehead's first and final issue. Nothing about her origins and powers was ever revealed.

Avengers (1963) #48, By Writer Roy Thomas, Penciler/Inker George Tuska, And Letterer Artie Simek

Black Knight kicks Iron Man in Marvel Comics

Nathan Garrett was the golden age Black Knight's descendant, but he used his ancestor's legacy for evil. After a short stint with the Masters of Evil and many defeats, Black Knight fell off his airborne horse and died in Tales of Suspense #73 by Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Flo Steinberg, Adam Austin, Gary Michaels, Sol Brodsky, Marie Severin, and Artie Simek.

Black Knight plotted to drop Iron Man from a deadly height, but Iron Man pulled him off his horse. Black Knight was presumed dead, and this was confirmed two years later. In The Avengers #48 by Roy Thomas, George Tuska and Artie Simek, Nathan used his last moments to renounce evil and pass his mantle to his nephew, Dane Whitman.

8 Scorpion Got Kicked Out Of A Window

Spider-Man: Reign (Vol. 1) #4, By Writer/Penciler/Inker Kaare Andrews, Colorist José Villarrubia, And Letterers Chris Eliopoulos & Rus Wooton

Scorpion gets kicked out of a window in Spider Man Reign 4

In the dystopian Spider-Man: Reign by Kaare Andrews and Chris Eliopoulos, Edward Saks reactivated the Sinister Six to arrest or kill Spider-Man. Instead of having an epic showdown, Spider-Man defeated his classic villains in the most hilariously pragmatic ways. Case in point, he kicked Scorpion out of a high-rise tower's window.

Rather than drag out the fight with Scorpion, Spider-Man simply kicked him into the atmosphere. While Scorpion's fall proved Spider-Man: Reign's dumbest and quickest death, it wasn't the only silly demise. Before Scorpion, Electro and Hydro-Man died after Spider-Man tripped the electric villain into his water-based comrade.

7 Stilt-Man Thought He Could Team-Up With The Punisher

Punisher: War Journal (2007) #1, By Writer Matt Fraction, Penciler/Inker Ariel Olivetti, Colorist Dean White, And Letterer Joe Caramagna

Stilt-Man gets shot at in Punisher War Journal 1

When the Superhuman Registration Act was passed, villains were allowed to work for the government. In Punisher: War Journal #1, Stilt-Man decided to sign up. Unfortunately, his first assignment was also his last because he crossed paths with The Punisher.

The Punisher didn't believe villains could reform, so he shot a rocket launcher at Stilt-Man even though they were going after the same criminal. The Punisher executed Stilt-Man shortly after, and his wake led to more deaths. During the wake, The Punisher poisoned the mourning supervillains' drinks and blew up the bar they were in.

6 Mister Sinister's Face Was Shoved Onto Rogue's

New X-Men (2004) #46, Writers Craig Kyle & Christopher Yost, Penciler Humberto Ramos, Inker Carlos Cuevas, Colorist Edgar Delgado, And Letterer Dave Sharpe

Mystique kills Mister Sinister in New X Men 46

Rogue is one of the deadliest mutants in existence, and she can kill anyone with just a touch. Rogue's powers work even when she's unconscious, and Mister Sinister learned this during New X-Men #46.

Just when Mister Sinister thought Mystique was going to mourn a dying Rogue, she shoved his face onto her daughter's. Mystique's last-minute betrayal and improvising her daughter as a weapon proved a clever ploy. With or without context, Mister Sinister's sudden and embarrassing death almost looked comedic.

5 Galactus Was Devoured By Zombies

Marvel Zombies 5 (2011) #5, By Writer/Penciler Fred Van Lente, Penciler Fernando Blanco, Colorist Val Staples, And Letterer Simon Bowland

Galactus threatens the zombies in Marvel Zombies 5

After the Silver Surfer was devoured by undead heroes, Galactus visited Earth in search of his herald. On Earth, the world-devourer found a planet overrun by zombified heroes and villains. Ironically, Galactus was eaten alive in Marvel Zombies #5.

Thanks to Ant-Man's amplifier, the undead heroes brought Galactus to his knees and promptly ate him. Now with Galactus' flesh and the Power Cosmic in their bodies, the six remaining zombies (Ant-Man, The Hulk, Iron Man, Luke Cage, Spider-Man, and Wolverine) became the new world-devourers.

4 Thanos Tried & Failed To Intimidate God Emperor Doom

Secret Wars (2015) #8, By Writer Jonathan Hickman, Penciler/Inker Esad Ribić, Colorist Ive Svorcina, And Letterer Chris Eliopoulos

God Emperor Doom rips out Thanos' skeleton in Secret Wars 8 in Marvel Comics

When Earth-1610 (the Ultimate Universe) and Earth-616 (the Marvel Universe) collided, Doctor Doom became a god. This didn't stop Thanos from challenging God Emperor Doom, and it cost him his life in the last moments of Secret Wars #8.

Even though God Emperor Doom was a god, Thanos still believed he was superior. After rejecting God Emperor Doom's offer to become a baron and insulting him, Thanos was killed when God Emperor Doom ripped his skeleton from his flesh. Thanos might be a galactic tyrant, but even he was exempt from a hilariously quick death.

3 Baron Zemo Caused A Rock Avalanche On Himself

The Avengers (1963) #15, By Writer Stan Lee, Penciler Don Heck, Inker Mike Esposito, Colorist Stan Goldberg, And Letterer Artie Simek

Baron Zemo shoots blindly in The Avengers 15

Baron Heinrich Zemo wasn't just one of The Avengers' first villains, but one of the first to die. The Masters of Evil and the Avengers' latest clash in The Avengers #15 ended with Captain America cornering Zemo in a rock quarry, where Captain America blinded the villain.

A panicked Baron Zemo shot wildly, and he caused a rock slide that crushed him. Baron Zemo died in 1965 and was forgotten, but his legacy resurfaced roughly a decade later. In 1973, a villain going by the name "The Phoenix" was revealed to be Heinrich's son Helmut, and he's been Baron Zemo ever since.

2 The Green Goblin III Was Killed By His Own Bomb

The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 1) #180, By Writer Len Wein, Penciler Ross Andru, Inker Mike Esposito, Colorist Glynis Wein, And Letterer Joe Rosen

Doctor Hamilton blows up in The Amazing Spider Man 180

The Green Goblin and the Osborn family are so inseparable that even the most dedicated Marvel readers can forget there was a third Goblin. This was Dr. Bart Hamilton, Harry Osborn's psychiatrist. Dr. Hamilton was so obsessed with Harry's villainous persona that he stole it. However, he was such a bad Goblin that he died in an accident.

In The Amazing Spider-Man #180 by Len Wein, Ross Andru, Mike Esposito, Glynis Wein, and Joe Rosen, Dr. Hamilton threatened to blow up a bomb. However, he realized the conveyer belt he was standing on was leading to a window too late. Dr. Hamilton exploded, and he was forgotten by Spider-Man and Marvel Comics.

1 Marcus Immortus Forgot To Stop His Aging

Avengers Annual (Vol. 1) #10, By Writer Chris Claremont, Penciler/Colorist Michael Golden, Inker Armando Gil, And Letterer Joe Rosen

Marcus Immortus dies of old age in Avengers Annual 10

Marcus Immortus is arguably the most infamous Marvel villain. After committing other horrid crimes against her, Marcus Immortus abducted Carol Danvers and took her to Limbo, where he planned to live with her forever. Marcus Immortus wasn't seen for a year.

When Danvers returned to Earth and filled in the Avengers on what had really happened, she offhandedly mentioned that Marcus died after forgetting to adapt to Limbo's physical conditions. Given how offensive and misogynistic Marcus Immortus' victory was, his pathetic death in Avengers Annual #10 seemed fitting. This was the last time either the Avengers or Marvel Comics mentioned Marcus Immortus.
