Death (DC)

Death is a character who appears in the comic books published by DC. Debuting in the 1989 comic series The Sandman, Death is one of the "Endless", a primordial family of seven siblings that embody and perform various natural forces. In Death's case, she acts both as its personification, and as someone who guides recently deceased souls into the afterlife (psychopomp). Unlike typical depictions in various media, DC's Death is portrayed more sympathetically, with her "perky goth" appearance and friendly personality giving off the impression that the end of life is not to be feared.

Death has become a classic example of a typical "obscure waifu" contestant known for having a small but vocal supporter base in the Ms. /co/ tournaments, yet performs poorly in the main brackets. She has never won a match in her three appearances to date (2018, 2019, 2020), losing in the first round every time. Death's attendance streak was broken in 2021 when she only amassed 50 qualifier votes, putting her at 322nd place (out of a maximum of 128). She will next be eligible for the upcoming 2022 contest.
