Death is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Mike Friedrich and Jim Starlin, the character first appeared in Captain Marvel #26 (June 1973).[1] Death is based on the personification of death.[2] She is a nigh-omnipotent cosmic entity and a fundamental constant of mortal existence, depicted as the "sister" and antithetical force to Eternity.[3]
Death typically appears as a skeletal figure cloaked in a black hood. However, she occasionally takes the form of a woman with black hair.[4] The character is known under the codename of Mistress Death.[5] She has also colloquially been referred to as Lady Death.[6]
Since her original introduction in comics, the character has been featured in various other Marvel-licensed products, including video games, animated television series, and merchandise. The character made her live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) miniseries Agatha All Along (2024), portrayed by Aubrey Plaza.
