Death (DC Comics) Character Review
Death is a fictional Character from the DC Comics book series, The Sandman (1989–1996). The character first appeared in The Sandman vol. 2 (August 1989), and was created by Neil Gaiman and Mike Dringenberg.
In the stories, Death is both the end of life and a psychopomp. Like most anthropomorphic personifications of death, Death meets with the recently deceased and guides them into their new existence. However, unlike most personifications of death, she also visits people as they are born, according to Destruction in the Sandman Special: The Song of Orpheus.
Evidently, only she seems to remember these encounters. In the special
issue, it is also revealed that Death was known in Ancient Greece as
Teleute. More about Death (DC Comics) Character Review - keep on reading !!
Physically, Death is also opposite to the traditional western culture personification of death (see Grim Reaper). In The Sandman,
Death instead appears as an attractive, pale young goth woman dressed
in casual clothes - often a black top and jeans. She also wears a silver
ankh on a chain around her neck, and has a marking similar to the eye of Horus around her right eye. She is pleasant, down-to-earth, perky, and has been a nurturing figure for both incarnations of Dream. This irony has helped make Death one of the most popular characters from Sandman. Death was named the fifteenth greatest comic book character by Empire Magazine. She was ranked second in Comics Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list.

Fictional Character Biography
Death is the second eldest of the Endless, a family of anthropomorphic beings. Death is possibly the most powerful of the Endless (and may be the most
powerful being in the universe) having been shown (in a flashback in Brief Lives)
to be virtually omniscient and being able to intimidate the Furies, who
show no fear of the other Endless, simply by raising her voice in The Kindly Ones.
The witch Thessaly mentions that Death is the only one of the Endless
who is bound by no rules, supported in Dream's portion of Endless Nights
in which she briefly makes an appearance at a conference designed to
set functions for entities and leaves before it begins. In addition, it
is mentioned in Brief Lives that she is the only one of the
Endless who may survive the end of this incarnation of the universe.
Death's realm is not portrayed in detail in the series, except for a
brief scene in her 'house' in the Sandman Special, Song of Orpheus, and later in The Books of Magic series. This is where she keeps her floppy hat collection, her goldfish Slim and Wandsworth and possibly her gallery. A brief glimpse of her realm can also be seen in The Little Endless Storybook, when Barnabas visits her, although this time in her 'apartment suite.'
One day every century, Death lives (and dies) as a mortal, in order
to understand the value of the life she takes. She does this by becoming
a mortal fated to die that day. At the end of Death: The High Cost of Living her Endless self briefly converses with her mortal self.
Powers and Abilities (Death)
Death is an immortal being of virtually omnipotent power and omniscient
knowledge. There is a limit to her power, however, as it has been
established that she cannot claim beings as powerful as the likes of Lucifer Morningstar.
