Remember- Stone isa Servitor.  If you don't know about Servitors, check Hell
on Earth.  Basically, though, being the Servitor of Death makes him badder'n
Leroy Brown.  It's going to take a HELL of a lot more than a good head shot
to take him down for good.

It is the hand of Contrivo, almighty god of the plot.  He haves his hand and
whatever it is, it is so.  Question not he who makes the story be, illogical
though it is.  Of course, if young Stone does die, then old Stone just came
from an alternate timeline.  Just read more Marvel comics and you'll
understand a bit more.
