Big Daddy – Kick-Ass
Starting our list of comic book movie deaths off with perhaps the saddest of deaths on this list, is the death of Big Daddy in Kick-Ass. Credited with making people like Nicolas Cage again, Big Daddy is a lovable weirdo who is trained to kill. The role is a tricky one. As both a trained killer and father, Big Daddy has to fill a couple of roles. Luckily, he circumvents this problem by just teaching his daughter, from a very young age, to be a killer as well.
Even while training his young daughter to be a ruthless killer, essentially sentencing her to a life of murder and mayhem, we can feel how much Big Daddy loves his daughter. Plus he wears a crazy Batman-like suit that let’s us still see deep into Cage’s famously crazy eyes. As for his death, he is gruesomely burned to death in front of Hit-Girl’s eyes as she rushes to save him, expertly taking out a room full of men with his instruction. Try not crying while they exchange their final words, his being, “I love you.” Ow.
