I swear comics need to introduce some sort of cosmic entity responsible for the "Schrodinger's Death" state of characters, whereupon they're dead (i.e. we see their corpse, we see their spirit in Hell, we see them revived as part of the Legion of the Unliving) and they're actually dead... until such time as we discover they were (just resting/in Europe/kidnapped and replace by Skrulls).

"You don't understand! I really was dead until the entity known as Retcon made it so I was on ice in an AIM facility all along. So you really did meet my ghost, because I was dead -then-. But then reality changed and... oh forget it. I'm back."

Soul-killing sword -- 1, one, soul
Having the guy who you decapitated both on Earth and in Hell come back a couple of weeks later -- Priceless

There was this one issue of Hercules where he goes to this afterlife casino where you can gamble for a chance to come back to the land of the living and the house is ashamed to admit it happens too often for its liking. Wasp was there but it later turned out she never died, so I think that might fit the bill.

MArvel actually introduced a character named Retcon in the MArvel Comics PResents revival several years back. She was a little old Asian woman with massive telepathic powers who would rewrite memories to erase all knowledge of Vanguard, the secret organization she was part of

There -definitely- needs to be something like that. Or at least better editorial intervention. Of course, then you’d get people going “we didn’t see character x in the land of the dead! They must be alive!”

So you can’t win.
