Death is a villain in Adventure Time. He is the ruler of the Land of the Dead in the episode, "Death in Bloom." He also rules over the 37th Dead World, as seen in "Sons of Mars." He plays the double-bass drums in a competition against Finn.
He almost kills Finn but gives back Jake's memory and the life of Princess Bubblegum's plant after Finn mentions Peppermint Butler. He is shown to have various powers, such as the "Kiss of Death," encasing people in force fields, and sending people back to the Land of Ooo.
He was voiced by the late Miguel Ferrer.
Relationships[]
Peppermint Butler[]
Death has what seems to be a friendly relationship with Peppermint Butler in the episode "Death in Bloom," though it is unknown how long they have been acquainted with one another. It was at the revelation that Finn and Jake know Peppermint Butler that Death allowed them to return to the surface, even though Finn had lost a music battle to him.
Abraham Lincoln[]
Death seems to have encountered Abraham Lincoln, the King of Mars before. In "Sons of Mars," he rejects Lincoln's initial offer of a penny by replying, "Not this time." He seems to have respect for his king status, referring to him as "your majesty".
New Death[]
Death has a very strained relationship with his son. Given the nature of their positions as Life and Death, their son was born with no purpose. As implied by their extensive jobs and workaholic nature, neither Life nor Death seemed to have much interaction with their son. At one point, Death tried to bond with his son by raking the sand to his rock garden, but his son only grew furious that his dad was keeping him from his "best friend" and refused to speak. Despite the fight, Death embraced his son with a hug. All of this would eventually be Death's downfall; as his son was easily manipulated by The Lich. His son killed Death and inherited the mantle of Death, becoming New Death.
