About
Mango Silencer, otherwise known as Shpff or Goodbye Lana, refers to a memorable scene from the Marvel comic series All-New Ultimates in which minor character Poey Ponsor is murdered, with his killer using a mango as a silencer.
Origin
The scene originates from the fourth issue of the series All-New Ultimates published by Marvel Comics. The issue was released on June, 2014. It was written by Michel Fiffe and penciled by Amilcar Pinna.[1] The context of the scene (shown below) sees minor character Poey Ponsor, a drug dealer and boyfriend of lead character Bombshell (Lana Baumgartner), getting killed by an unidentified assailant, who is later in the issue identified as a member of the drug gang Serpent Skulls. In the previous issue, Poey had shown Lana to a warehouse where the Skulls kept their supply. They were trailed by Lana's fellow New Ultimate, Spider-Man (Miles Morales), which resulted in a skirmish that saw the warehouse destroyed. After he hangs up from calling Lana to say goodbye, Poey begs for his life and is murdered. His killer uses a mango as a silencer, resulting in the onomatopoeia "Shpff."

On June 27th, 2014, the panel was uploaded to was first featured on 4chan's /co/ board (shown below).[2]

Spread
