Ferro Lad was pretty big.
Sure, he was a background character in The Legion of Super-Heroes, but this was a fun and light-hearted series about a future club of teenaged superheroes back in the 60s. They hung out, had adventures, had super-pets and were the epitome of the innocence of the Silver Age.
Suddenly a Sun-Eater appears near Earth and the Legion was the only ones that tried to stop it. Superboy was weakened by red sun rays and the teams brain managed to build a bomb that would destroy the Sun-Eater, but it had one problem... it had to be detonated by a person inside the Sun-Eater because remote controlls or a timer are too hard to create.
Superboy is ready to sacrify himself, but is knocked down by Ferro Lad. The team leave him behind and we see a big explosion.
Every reader expected a last second rescue by something unexpected, but it never happened.
Having heroes just die like this was pretty much unheard of by then.
