I would like it to be known that I am a dc geek and all other comics are for lining bird cages. with that said here is the list.
2. major Victory was killed by Eclipso
3. Amazing man was killed by the mist
6. judo master was killed by Bane[ As i heard it Judo master was laughing at the way bane was portrayed in Batman and Robin.]
8.Blockbuster was killed by Brimstone
10. The Comedian was killed by Ozymandias
11. Katma Tui was killed by Star Saphire
12. Golden Glider was killed by Chillblane
14. Atom was killed by Extant
.16. Martian Manhunter was killed by Grant Morrison[disguised as Libra].
17.Pantha was killed by Superboy Prime[ it was a misunderstanding...She offered prime some head and he took it wrong
18. Mr. Terrific 1 was killed by the spirit king.
19. Anima was killed by promethius.
20. Captain Boomerang was killed by Jack Drake.
21. All Star Batman and Robin was killed by Frank Miller. In 1986 Frank Miller gave the world a gift.He took a character that had been mutilated by a t.v. show during the 1960's and made the world notice him again. It took years, but gone were the news stories that started off with " bamm , pow, zapp, and biff.Frank miller took a character that was a joke and turned him into what he always should have been. The Dark Knight. But something happened in the years that followed...After the success of the dark knight came batman year one[ a book that is superior to the comic that inspired it in every way]. starting in 1994 there was a chink in the armor, spawn Batman was released and the comic world had to change their shorts because the two biggest names in comics were going to team up and knock the comics industry out of the hole that the comic book speculators created. The Comic book landed with a resounding thudd, but maybe it was just a slump. not every great artist was going to knock it out of the park ever time. so fast forward a few years and DC announced All star batman and robin. with story by miller and art by Jim lee there was no way this book was going to fail…right? over night the Dark knight was killed off and in his place was a new character…THE GODDAMN BATMAN. The Diehard fanboys supported the book, no doubt hoping that the real story was going to start as soon as the decoy ran off the non believers…Several years later and we are still waiting. I have recently uncovered evidence that implies that Frank miller is being forced to tank All Star batmam and Robin. I think Mr. Miller needs to realise that there is still good work in there, but act fast before all the goodwill you created with yor original run with the character …Or not. Fuck it who wants pie?

The Swordsman died in Giant-Size Avengers (#2), not Avengers.

I only knew four of these.

I think it was when I heard that Katma Tui was dead that I decided to consider anything that happened after I stopped reading GL as non-canon.

Later, I heard that Hal Jordan had killed Kilowog and my choice was vindicated.

There the answers has you might expect tend to favour the more recent events, but I am suprised so few people got the swordsman. Maybe the engleheart avengers are not as classic a team as i thought

Funny thing is that when I saw the subject (and before reading the list), I guessed that alternating Scourge and Superboy Prime would get me at least a couple correct answers. I was wrong because I started with Scourge.

@ Fangirl71

Wow, you spend your time going to comic book blogs to make troll-ish comments in a thread of comic book trivia. You’re sooooooooo cool.

Fangirl71: I really don’t think Omar Karindu needs Google or Wikipedis for solving this trivia under 5 minutes.;)

The list has already been solved by other folks, but I’m surprised that I was actually able to answer the lot of them off the top of my head (with the exception of the Ultimate Black Widow, but that’s only because I haven’t gotten around to getting the last Millar/Hitch Ultimates collection). I’m pleased with myself, but wish I knew that much about, you know, non-comic book stuff. Either way, I suppose.

Have a good day.

@ Filrouge: DC’s blockbuster predates the Marauders guy by a couple of decades.
