    Warning: There is a ton of misinformation in this so called respect thread...

    I love me some Lady Death. And don't get me wrong, she is a badass character, badass enough that she does not need to be oversold and overhyped, which is what has been done here. So the points that are correct:

    • "Surviving in deep space and destroying a large rock" -- This is true, though the rock is actually more of a speeding asteroid that was teleported in front of her.
    • "surviving re-entry just fine" -- This is actually being undersold a bit, as she was in a weakened state after her battle with Lucifer when this happened. So she was not at 100% when she did this, which is pretty damn impressive, since she walked away from it just fine.
    • "Killing armies by the thousands (after gaining Death's scythe)" -- While this is true, it should be noted, that the scythe has been an on again and off again weapon. It is not a weapon she consistently has and uses. Now her sword, Apocalypse, is another story altogether.

    So what is flat out wrong, misinterpreted, or blown out of proportion?

    • "Killing Lucifer and immediately reshaping Hell (kinda)" -- In the scene shown, she did not actually kill Lucifer. Lucifer tricked her (part of his plan), and he let her remake a portion of Hell into the Endless Graveyard, but kept the real Hell hidden from her. It will take quite some time before she actually faces Lucifer again and defeats him for real. When she does so the first time, she was weakened greatly and barely survived, only defeating him because of their proximity to a portal to Heaven, which she was able to shove him through, which basically scatters his atoms. He does get resurrected eventually, and it takes the use of her sword, Apocalypse, to actually be able to slay him. It should be noted that she is bound on a spiritual level with the sword, and it is basically a part of her.
    • "Punching out Kali like she nothing" -- That was actually a fairly drawn out battle. At one point, Kali manages to break Lady Death's back, which she is able to heal from, and finish the fight. She didn't just punch her out like she was nothing. Lady Death even notes during the fight how powerful Kali was.
    • "Annihilating Asteroth" -- Asteroth was not annihilated...he actually had Lady Death on the ropes, and she had to get him into the reflecting pond, which she then blasted the pond with her angelic energies, which were reflected all throughout the pond, which allowed her to defeat Asteroth. Asteroth does return a bit later on down the line, and he and Lady Death face each other again, and she is able to beat him one on one (thanks to her upgrades in power).
    • "God considers her worthy of direct confrontation" -- That was not god by any stretch of the imagination. Observe what happens when you actually read what happens next (and note, that the first scan I am showing was cropped out of what @betatesthighlander1 shown, and the one below that is the page directly after):

    And I think that should speak volumes. Lady Death is indeed a powerful badass, but let's not misrepresent her with half truths and so on to make her appear so. Thanks goes to @wyldsong for responding to my PM, and refreshing my memory and furnishing me with the actual truth on Lady Death here.

    Not sure how I missed this, but I do vaguely remember talking to this guy about this thread. It seems he misconstrued some of what I said and just ran with it, though some of what he/she said is true. Overall, there are some things that could be cleaned up, and the scan with her facing god, was actually her facing Lucifer in disguise. That being said, her overall power levels are in the skyfather/high herald range, with many angels/demons performing on or near that level. Hopefully I will be running another CaV with her soon, where I will try to lay out her full power level from her Chaos comics days.

    Still, it is nice to see someone giving LD some love on this site=)
