When It Happened: RUNAWAYS v2 #18 (2006)
The Details: When the Runaways clash with a new Pride led by a young, time-displaced Geoff Wilder, Gertrude Yorkes makes the ultimate sacrifice, taking a dagger to the gut to save her boyfriend, Chase Stein, and telling him she loves him before bleeding out.
Why It Makes The List: "Proving that the good can die young, Brian K. Vaughan shocked readers everywhere by following through on the notion that a writer must sometimes 'kill their babies.' Gert's death signified a time of change for the Runaways, closing a chapter in their lives and giving them a more grown-up view of the world. Sure, Alex had died, but he was evil. This was Gert, the mind of the team, an innocent and it was totally unfair. Just like real life." -Secret Cabal member RunawayJ
