Alright Ladies and Gentlemen,

I was talking with a friend and we came to the topic of Karl Prosek dying, and I realized, I have no clue what the most interesting canon way for him to die or pass away would be. So let's pose the question to all of you. As a note, I am not wondering WHY or IF Karl should be killed or pass away, and I also don't care how you would decide to desecrate the remains. I get it, some people hate the CS, other's hate Tolkein, keep it out of here. Please. I am only asking for the most interesting/cinematic/COOLEST way for the Great Emperor Prosek to die. Keep it canon.

Happy Gaming,

Gen. Thunderfist

The coolest way for him to die is obviously by freezing to death.

Strapping himself to an ICBM, with a laser pistol in each hand, and being launched at the Duluth Hive, going down shooting.

The CS versus FoM war rages on. Most of the CS War Machine is deployed at the frontlines. The end is near. In a bold move, and with a little help from Lord Splynncryth, Lord Dunscon spearheads a surprise suicide attack against Chi-Town with all the remaining FoM forces!. The idea is to kill them all and die in the carnage! Chi-Town defend forces are in a very disadvantaged position because they need to protect the civilian population. Despite advises to evacuate, Karl Prosek decides to lead the counterattack to expel the FoM from his beloved city. Piloting a Super SAMAS, he engages the core of the invading army. The sight of the Emperor fighting at the front rises the morale of the CS defenders. The FoM is finished but Lord Dunscon and his elite bodyguards, engage the Emperor, blowing his SAMAS out of the sky before themselves are blown to pieces! The final words from Karl are: Is the city safe? The answer from another SAMAS pilot is: Yes, Sir, thanks to you. Then, anwsers Karl: Long live the Coalition!.

Riding a nuclear bomb, waving a hat, Dr. Strangelove style (Slim Pickens was the actor playing Major Kong who was the character who was the one "Riding the Bomb" as seen here in this iconic scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlSQAZEp3PA)

flooper assassins with poisoned cream pies to the face!

The best canon way I can think of would be to have him assassinated in a plot orchestrated by his son Joseph who would then lead the CS in a Caligula type fashion.

In another game I had a character that could transform into a giant blob. So I assassinated a foriegn leader by coming up the sewers and nabbing him from below when he was taking a dump.

He gives the command for the execution for yet another innocent D-bee only for it to trigger a ghost army of all those slain due to his direction rising up and ripping him and his entire entourage to pieces and drag him off to eternal punishment for his evil.

After decades of successful plans and schemes, video evidence of him verbally sparring with, and then coldbloodedly murdering, a captive old woman (Guess who?) is broadcast revealing his true nature. His elegantly manufactured dystopia crumbles as the masses (including the more decent minded soldiers of his own military forces) rebel.

He puts a pre-rifts antique pistol to his head...

falling into a gigantic plot hole and dying as he impacts the 4th wall in spite of the physics-defying powers of his body armor.

failing that... i guess i'd go with finding out what the doctor over in lone star is doing, trying to remove him from the picture without anyone else realizing just how much stuff has been allowed to happen in the lone star facility because of his ignorance... and then he gets killed by his own bodyguard of dog boys who turn out to have had an unfortunate genetic defect that can be triggered to cause them to go berzerk.

but i still prefer the plot hole version.

Slips in the shower and breaks his neck. They attempt to put him in a full conversion borg body, but when he wakes up as a FCB, his fragile diabolic mind snaps and he goes on a murderous rampage until they finally put him down with lethal force.

Somehow they spin the whole series of events to be Lazlo's fault and the CS peasants are told he died a heroic death saving his loved ones from magical assassins.

Killed by your mirror-image as you're admiring your Imperial self. Yeah, that would suck.

Killed by a massive swarm of Xicitix -along with General Jericho Holmes, coincidentally by his side -who are still angry over the way the authors of the Siege On Tolkeen series ret-conned their behaviors so as to conveniently let Holmes and his men survive right in the middle of the Hivelands while surrounded by millions of them.

the ret-con doesn't bother me quite as much as the fact that even without being murdered by the xiticix, his entire army should have consisted of raving lunatics by the time they got out without stopping for any reason (sleep? who needs that!) while watching their friends occasionally get picked off and dragged away while they were under orders to not do anything about it whatsoever and somehow, not a single soldier snapped to the point where they decided to just start shooting.

which isn't to say that i think it made sense for the xiticix to suddenly be okay with the massive amount of prey/predator walking through their territory, mind you. i just find that part to be almost comparatively reasonable.

Heartbreak.

His son is DIABOLICAL. Karl may be evil, but he has a code of honor, and has many redemptive qualities. His son doesn't.

Joseph's complete lack of scruples lead to acts of increasing depravity, which force an all-out confrontation with his father. Karl is forced to make the choice between his son and his country. He chooses country. Joseph dies. Karl, overcome with grief and regret, sinks deep into depression, and his heart gives out.

Cue a massive political upheaval.

Th Emperor gets rifted to the far future of Rifts Earth, and sees what's gone on in the past few hundred years. He attempts to put a stop to the "New World" and is institutionalized for his efforts... He dies in an insane asylum. No one believing him; sort of like what happened with Victor Laszlo!!

Gets rifted to the PAST and, despite trying to tell everybody what's coming, is dismissed as a crank. Furthermore, because he really doesn't know much specific technology, he can't establish himself as an inventor, introducing future technology to get rich. His efforts to establish a political power base go badly wrong without d-bees as blame as the enemy, and even the militia movement dismisses him as a 'nutcase', and the Southern Poverty Law Center doesn't even list him. Eventually he winds up forced to take odd jobs working the counter of various convenience stores until he gets held up and shot to death by a skinhead.

Well, sending him to sleep in the dog house didn't seem punishment enough, so Mrs. Prosek had to make do with bludgeoning him with his 'Tyrant of the Year' trophy.

For Karl Prosek to die Politically:
-Karl (and key advisers) bad mouthing the populace after a broadcast when they thought they where off the air. And I mean really bad mouthing the populace (and we see politicians saying stupid things all the time and not recovering...)
-How about taking off his disguise (shape-shifting, make-up whatever) and revealing his true form...

For him to die literally:
-Out in public and struck by a meteorite. (such a freak occurrence it has to be cool by it's very nature)
-captured and experimented on by Lord of the Deep/Atlantis/Gene Splicers...
-Godzilla Attack
