**Death's Head** (also known as **The Freelance Peacekeeping Agent**) is a character from Marvel Comics. Originally was a character created for the Transformers comics.

## Background

Death's Head was originally a robotic body intended to be used by a mage named Ty Rejutka Lupex, whose own body was beginning to fail him due to the massive energies he contained. Lupex however was double crossed by his apprentice who gave the robot his own consciousness, and an unknown party stole the body. Eventually, the body, dubbing itself 'a freelance peacekeeping agent' resurfaced under the name Death's Head.

## Stats

**Attack Potency:** **Small Planet Level** (Able to fight and defeat Transformers such as Shockwave and Rodimus Prime.) | **Star Level** (Can trade blows with The Thing.)

## Powerscaling

Despite his odd manner of speaking and his often quirky attitude to his job, Death's Head is a formidable opponent that cannot and should not be taken lightly. With his immense physical fortitude and his impressive arsenal of weaponry, Death's Head is a fierce opponent in either the Transformers or the Marvel Universe.

In his run in the Transformers Comics, Death's Head faced down with several of the Transformers series heavy hitters and lived to tell the tale, including Galvatron, Shockwave, Soundwave, and Rodimus Prime. In his Marvel Comics appearances, Death's Head has faced off against the likes of the Fantastic Four in combat, fending both The Thing and The Human Torch in battle, and even gaining advantages over them in their fights. He's also fought the likes of both Iron Man 2020 and the original Iron Man, fighting both on equal footing.

Thanks to his non-organic brain, Death's Head can shrug off immensely powerful telepaths with little to no trouble, as shown when he no-sold a mental assault from the psychic dog Cosmo. With his myriad of built-in mental locks, Death's Head can resist the advances of foes as fearsome as Unicron. Even if his opponent manages to break into his mind, Death's Head can still resist through other ways, allowing him to gain an advantage.

With an arsenal of weapons at his metallic fingertips and an immense physical stature, the Freelance Peacekeeping Agent is a warrior that can and will fight for what he loves most. Money.

## Weaknesses

* Water can cause him to short out.
* His weapons can be broken with enough force.
* Was killed by Minion who ripped his head off by impaling in it (Which implies while can survive his head simply chopped off if his head impaled when it is removed it will kill him)
