Nightcrawler saving Hope

ultimate spider-man dying of exhaustion in order to keep his friends safe .

Barry Allen anyone?

Rorschach not compromising in the face of death.

I was moved by Supergirl going down in blaze of glory battling the Anti-Monitor and saving Superman in "Crisis on Infinite Earths" #7.

To me, this was the most heroic comic death.

Kaine during the Grim Hunt story line. Saved Peter Parker from the Kravens, and in turn redeemed himself.

Superman fighting to death with Doomsday to keep not only Metropolis safe, but the entire world. Barry Allen saving the multiverse is just as heroic.

Honorable mention is Ultimate Peter Parker fighting with while still suffering from a bullet wound to keep his friends and neighbours safe from Green Goblin.

my personal favourites are nightcrawler saving hope, simply because he didnt even think about it. there was no dramatic slowing down of time, just without thinking, teleporting in front of her. also colossusving the mutant race and ultimate spider man
