Real Name: [Maximus]
Affiliation: Horsemen of Apocalypse
Status: Deceased (Sunfire
Relatives: [Inhuman Royal Family (deceased - 616 Family Tree)]
Alternate-X Versions: Maximus (616)
Codename Etymology: Pronounced dĕth [From dēath]; The absence or end of life.
Powers & History: Death was assigned by Apocalypse
to control the massive machine known as Ship
and oversee the Blue Area of the Moon.
He also possessed the Terrigen Mists and used it to create his own force based
on the templates of the murdered Inhuman Family (Death's own relatives). When
Apocalypse needed to rejuvenate on Ship, Cyclops went
with him. With Apocalypse incapacitated, Death decided that he would rule instead
of Apocalypse. When the X-Men (who also learned of Apocalypse’s vulnerability)
teleported to the Blue Area of the Moon, they were greeted by Death and his force.
Death defeated the X-Men and took them aboard Ship, planning to expose them to
the Terrigen Mists and create more loyal followers. His plans were foiled by the
combined forces of Cyclops, new X-Man Blink and the mutant
Sunfire, who was being tortured aboard Ship. If Death
was not killed by the raging inferno created by Sunfire, he died when Ship exploded.
