Fan Casting Death by Origin Story

Description of Death by Origin Story:

If you've read Comic Books, then you know Death Is Cheap, Staying Alive is easy and there's a thousand ways to trump the Sorting Algorithm of Deadness. There are, however, some characters who stay dead. These are the loved ones who suffered Death by Origin Story, and play a vital role in the motivations of the hero. Their death can be (in)directly the hero's fault (Spider-Man, Uncle Ben), not their fault but still a huge motivation (Batman, Thomas and Martha Wayne) or simply there to add drama (Superman, Pa Kent).
