Death (DC)

Death is a supporting character in the , appearing as a major character in comics and as a cameo or minor character in various other comics.
Death was a member of the Endless, a family of incomprehensibly powerful siblings who existed for almost all of time and each embodied a universal concept. In Death's case, she was the very concept of death itself and as such was always present upon the death of the living to lead them into their afterlife. Unlike classical depictions of a "Grim Reaper," Death was a compassionate and perky figure who showered the dead in warmth rather than dread.
Death is voiced by in DC Showcase: Death, who has also voiced Go Go Tomago in Big Hero 6.
==Appearance==
Like her siblings, Death was not tethered to a particular physical form whatsoever. Her most common form was that of a beautiful human teenage girl with black eyes, skin that was either pale or pure white, and long voluminous free-flowing black hair. She usually wore black eyeliner, black lipstick, and the symbol for the Eye of Horus under her right eye. In keeping with her physical features, Death typically wore clothing of a gothic style. Her most predominant ensemble consisted of black shoes, black gloves, a black tank top, form-fitting black leather trousers, and a black belt with silver studs and a silver buckle. She always wore a silver ankh around her neck and often carried a black parasol with her.
==Powers & Abilities==
===Powers===
*Endless Physiology
**Absolute Immortality: All members of the Endless were functionally immortal, as they had no concept of aging and, as ideas, were impossible to kill in conventional ways. More so than anything in the entirety of existence, including her siblings, Death was immortal. The very concept of dying or otherwise ending was completely foreign to Death, as she herself was that concept. In her own words, Death would be the last thing in all of reality to exist, as she herself was the end that reality would inevitably one day face.
**Nigh-Omnipotence
***Death Inducement: Death, due to being the concept of death in the most literal of senses, could inflict a state of death upon anything in all of existence. Whenever something reached its ending as ordained by the Book of Destiny, Death would come for it. Mortals, the undead, immortals, abstract beings such as her siblings, and even ideas were all inevitably subject to Death's finality sooner or later. There was nothing in the entirety of existence known to be immune to Death when she arrived.
****Life Inducement: Just as she could take away life, Death was also capable of bestowing it. Although a rare circumstance, Death could voluntarily stay her hand and allow an individual or thing to exist beyond the time they were allotted by the Book of Destiny. Anything blessed with such a decision by Death would be essentially immortal, as Death would only come for them when she wished to. Death could also create new life by bestowing a vessel with life essence on a whim, although she apparently did so exceptionally rarely.
***Teleportation: Death could transport herself and others from one location to another in an instant, regardless of distance. The locations she could travel to were unlimited, as she could even cross between different dimensions and planes of reality on a whim.
**Omniscience: The Endless innately had complete knowledge of everything in existence, including events that had already occurred, were occurring, or would occur in the future. Death knew everything about every mortal who ever lived, and knew the complete future of those whose lives had not ended. She knew when and where every single living thing would die, and due to her understanding of their lives Death was able to approach the recently deceased with a deep level of compassion. Most of the time, Death and her siblings would restrict their own omniscience to make their existences more bearable.
