5. Archie Andrews

(Life With Archie, Archie Comics)

Archie comics are weird, my dudes. Sometimes there are zombies, or incest plot lines, or Predators, and sometimes they’re very deeply Christian. But in the Life With Archie magazine, Archie Comics showed the future. Well, futures.

The magazine had two separate stories in each issue: one of a future in which Archie married Betty Cooper, and one in which the lovable redhead made the biggest mistake of his life and wedded Veronica Lodge. Both stories came together when Andrews gave his life taking a bullet for his friend Kevin Keller, an openly gay, newly elected US state senator campaigning for stricter gun control.

Archie died, bleeding out on the floor of Pop's Chocklit Shop, looking up at Betty and Veronica and telling them, "I've always loved you." In memoriam, Riverdale High was re-christened Archie Andrews High School. Awww, sweet.

Also, how screwed up is it that all of Archie's multiversal paths end with him getting shot? That is some Twilight Zone BS, right there.
