The last time he did he nearly indrectly almost ruined Star Wars  Its a possibility after the explosion they both disappeared but mallus came back, which means rip hunter is "Maybe" still alive. Lets hope he still shows up in season 4. Who knows, we don't know that yet, all we know is when he is maybe he went back to london I don't know  Until not seeing the corpse I will not believe him to be dead. Like Ronnie or batwoman on the injustice comic It reminds me about Master Wu from Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu (for anyone who knows what that show is). In Season 7, while the Ninja and Wu were fighting Krux and Acronix in the time portal, Master Wu sacrificed himself so that the Ninja could return to their own time. Therefore Master Wu stayed in the time vortex to fight Krux and Acronix. In Season 8, Master Wu returns, but as a baby. This is due to the effects of the Reverse-Time Blade. There were four time blades in Season 7 the Krux and Acronix sought out, because they wanted to control all of time (like Mallus). There were the Reverse-Time Blade, Stop-Time Blade, Slow Down-Time Blade, and Speed Up-Time Blade. Wu gave the Reversal Blade to the Ninja and somehow it affected his age, reverting him to a baby and sending him to a random point in time. He was later found in Season 8 in his baby form and started to grow rapidly.

So therefore, similar things might have happened with Rip as with Wu, Krux, and Acronix. Since Mallus reappeared, Rip should reappear somewhere in time either as his regular, younger, or older self unless Mallus killed Rip in the process. Though I do think like Wu, Rip will reappear somewhere in time. One of Einstein's laws states, "Matter cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed." Therefore Rip can not be created or destroyed, only transformed or displaced in or throughout time. He could still be dead without violating that law. The matter that composed him is just no longer a human body.
