However, the ever-fickle Mistress Death was repulsed by this callous disregard for life, and turned from Walker in disgust. Walker was shocked, and soon grew morose and angry. As his anger grew, Death sent him away... but the anger continued to build until Walker decided to destroy his would-be lover in a fit of cosmic vengeance.The Titan Thanos became fearful for Death's saftey, and pleaded with her to seclude herself for the sake of the Universe. For should Death actually be destroyed, the balance of the Cosmos would be endangered. Heeding the advice of her ever-faithful follower, Death sought a host, and found one in the form of the recently murdered Marlo Chandler, girlfriend of Rick Jones.
How do we know Death feared him? She originally was not going to hide so we're not sure what would have happened. I would think that Death has a more prominent place in the Universe (especially her own) than the Walker. If she was truly in danger of being destroyed, I would think that higher beings than the Walker and Death herself would have intervened (Eternity, LT, etc,,). I think Death played him for a fool and allowed the battle to take place in purgatory where she was assured victory. Besides that point, who's to say that Death wouldnt have released all of the tortured souls that the Walker had amassed throughout time whenever she wanted?
Thats true, but the point I was trying to make was that its unknown as to whether Death was in serious danger or not. Yes, she took to hiding so it seems that she was indeed concerned about him, but she had no intentions of doing so until Thanos practically begged her. Although the story arc made it out to look like Death was in trouble of being destroyed, i'm not so sure. I realize when she took action they were in purgatory, but i'm curious to know what would have happened outside of that realm. She seemed to just play along with everything until Walker pissed her off, but again, this was in purgatory. I just think she has enough power to have a say about what happened in the outcome regardless of where it took place.
Once again,,,Walker>Odin.

My only comlaint with that whole theory is again, would the higher beings allow anything to happen to Death if she was truly in danger? She is an integral part of the Universe. This is the reason why I question if she was truly ever in danger to start with even though the story had us think so.
He doesn't care about universal Abstracts.
