Beyonder

shouldn't there be a bit about Death being killed and recreated by the Beyonder in Secret Wars II? I'd add it myself, except, my copy of SWII is in one of 30 identical boxes at my parents' (and, no, those boxes aren't marked "beware of the crocodile" Fiji101 13:36, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While I have the comics, I have no idea where in the biography it would go. Gurko 05:07, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Masters, it is done.

Publication history/Bibliography

The following was cut from the article, by Asgardian. It's not perfect, could use some work, preserving it here so that others may work on it if they so choose, trimming, adding details, formatting, whatever.

The personification of Death in Marvel Comics appears in a number of comics in the 70's and 80's, such as Iron Man #19 (November 1969), Captain Marvel #27-28 (July 1973, September 1973), #30-32 (January 1974, March 1974, May 1974), War is Hell #9 (October 1974), Marvel Graphic Novel #1 - 'The Death of Captain Marvel' (April 1982), Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions #1 (June 1982), #3 (August 1982), Fantastic Four #257 (August 1983), Secret Wars II #7 (January 1986), The New Mutants #41 (July 1986), The Avengers Annual #16 (1987), Solo Avengers #5 (April 1988), Silver Surfer #17 (November 1988), Silver Surfer Annual #2 (1989), and Silver Surfer #34 (February 1990) and #37-38 (May-June 1990).

: And it still can go in, but as a Bibliography. Go take a look at the PH for Adam Warlock to get a feel for how they should read. What you've done here is lifted a laundry list - presumably from the OHOTMU - and just pasted it in. Some of the entries also do not feature Death.

All Stars in the Sol system?

I commented-out the middle of this sentence:

Thanos later tries to "woo" Death back by destroying all stars in the Sol system, but is finally killed during a battle with...

How many stars are there in the Sol system? rowley (talk) 19:13, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some missing data

I have some of the data for the "volume & issue needed" entries under "Fictional character biography":

The destruction of Death (or her M-body as cited in the article) appeared in The Thanos Imperative #3, Nov. 2010. Her killing Lord Mar-Vell was in #6, Jan. 2011. Dates taken from publication matter in each issue's first page.

I would've made the edits myself, but feared doing it wrong. Adam Restling (talk) 06:51, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Death featured in the Guardians of the Galaxy film.

Death is featured in the Guardians of the Galaxy film. In Guardians of the Galaxy: The Art of the Movie it is explained that Entropy, Infinity, Eternity, and Death are responsible for the creation of the Infinity Stones in the film. Also, Death and the other Cosmic Entities are seen in the Temple Vault on Morag and the Hologram in the Collectors Museum. Here's an image of all the cosmic entities from The Art of the Movie 2601:C:780:234:F452:E816:C14D:4ECA (talk) 01:15, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Appearence in Marvel Puzzle Quest

Mistress Death also appears in Marvel Puzzle Quest, under the Video games section. She could be seen in a stop motion animation in Thanos' ability "Court Death" for both versions of Thanos ("Modern" and "The Mad Titan"). ^[1] -- Bang Bang50 (talk) 19:03, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dave (and the Beyonder)

I see someone has reverted my addition of “Dave” as a notable alias. Understandable! It wasn’t a joke, though… In Secret Wars II, the original Death was dissolved and a journalist named Dave took her place. Death has been Dave ever since. I’ll put together a proper paragraph on it and upload it later. Loomborn (talk) 06:02, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Spoiler for Agatha All Along

Saying that Death is portrayed by Aubrey Plaza is a HUGE spoiler. Should that be front and center? 184.160.44.174 (talk) 22:52, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
