New Avengers #8 kills off The Living Tribunal, the second most powerful character in the ENTIRE Marvel Universe.

His three faces couldn't see it coming

Yes, that means more powerful than Hulk, Thor, the Celestials, random concepts like Eternity and Infinity, even Thanos and Galactus. In fact, The Living Tribunal is supposed to be only eclipsed by one character in the entire multiverse of Marvel...The One-Above-All.

Cause, you know, the name fits

The One-Above-All is supposed to essentially be God and this guy is the next best thing, so how can someone kill him?

Is it Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet that somehow pulls out this feat?

Is it the combined power of the Celestials?

Did Black Bolt cough?

What repercussions will this have in the Marvel Universe? Some think it could lead to a reboot of Marvel comics.

Then again, others just think this is a mislead and there's no death whatsoever. Instead, we'll see another "he was in a coma" or "the Living Tribunal was actually unconscious in that scene" or "that was a hologram/impostor and not the real thing" switch-up.

What do you think is happening, and if he's truly dead, who do you think is responsible?
