Except for the part where Arcade appears in front of everyone in Cammi's Hijacking of Zemo's Highjacking of Zemo's signal over-rider. Ya know, he did a little dance and sang "all I do is win" until Cammi, Batman as written by THAT sort of Batman fan, smacked him down.
And then he ends up tied to the front of Zemo's new super stealth Hellicarrier in a full looney toons moment as if doing that would somehow give the audience emotional satisfaction for all the crap he just pulled.
Otherwise, yeah, he was thought to be dead, but it's a massive plot point that the kids killed a fake Arcade in order to clear them of the murder charge that not even Texas would convict them on.
Without Arcade being KNOWN to be alive (at least by SHIELD), the kids would have gone right back to SHIELD cells rather than "emotionally empty vacation on a lake" ending we got.
. . .
God, Undercover was terrible.
So yeah, twice over, Arcade is known to be alive. I doubt Wikipedia updated that when the writer of Hellcat was doing her research, but that just goes to show how the Gail Simone method of comic research is better than Wikipedia (Hell, anything's better than 'just Wikipedia').
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
