>>107561061Given they bothered to put him in the soul stone with Contemplator saying he'd have a chance to get better, it's unlikely it was supposed to get a perma-death.
Unless he got a Genis Special, with the author killing him as hard as possible to avoid him being ruined by incoming future storylines
Still thinking him dying "for realz" actually kick-started his Artificial Heaven back-up, and they'll get him out from there.
