In the 1960s, the Puppet Master seemed to die more than Kenny on South Park. A very dated reference, but I couldn't think of anything else. It's like they almost wanted to do away with him and make it the final Puppet Master story, but they just kept bringing him back. Looking at the all various ways the Puppet Master "dies", you get the feeling he's very clumsy/careless and chooses his locations very poorly.
I have to say out of the all "deaths", Captain Marvel 14 is my favorite. In all the others, he is dispatched "off screen." But I like how CM 14 shows him with his hand sticking out of the burning machinery. Gruesome.
