Many many writers in the past didn't know what to do with him. Hence the easiest way out is to kill him, resurrect him and kill him again. And if that didn't work, merge him with Warlock the techno organic entity or have him be infected and whatever else crap that goes round n round in the comic world
So what made this different?
The resurrected Doug Ramsay is tasked by Selene to kill her blood relative, Amara aka Magma and uses Ramsay because he was a former NM and knew that his presence would make them hesitant. So yes, he came, he begged and in her confusion, he whacked the shit out of her leaving her bleeding
And when the Mutants came barging in, more or less, that's when Doug took a turn for the cool as he calmly fights all of them utilizing his ability to read languages including body language and how they would each have their own preferred fighting styles and what-not. He actually gave even Sam and Roberto a hard time deflecting their blows and all that!
The savior of the piece came from another low profile mutant named Karma who possesses the mutants except Doug and uses them to fight against him. This immediately threw Doug for a loop because now his old friends were fighting very clumsily and in unexpected ways since they are not in control of their physical selves and that was the only way they could even land a blow at him. Unfortunately for all concerned, just as they thought they had defeated him, in came a confused Warlock who had no idea why they were all fighting and Doug literally zapped the life out of him by infecting him with a different virus code and ripped his head off!
That leaves everyone wondering if Warlock is dead!
