7. Goliath Is Only There To Die

Bill Foster AKA Goliath is an F-list marvel character at best. His last appearance before Civil War was SIX YEARS EARLIER. The only reason he appears in Civil War at all is so he can die. The preceding story only takes time to build up how great Goliath is and how much everyone totally cares about him as a cheap tactic to make his death seem like it mattered. But in reality, Goliath’s death has about as much weight behind it as when Goldbug and The Plunderer get gunned down.

Who?

Exactly.

Goliath is the gigantic sacrificial lamb Civil War cuts down to give itself artificial weight. Way to waste a character.
