It wasn't long before writer Nick Spencer and various other folks at Marvel started receiving death threats from readers who seem to have quite literally been driven mad by this plot twist. Even ignoring those more extreme forms of overreaction, it's difficult to understand why this particular twist has so many readers feeling so upset. Marvel isn't going to suddenly destroy one of their most iconic characters because of one, simple story.
