"Magnificent."

We're swiping pretty liberally from Doctor Who this time, with Death's Head regenerating, and having a "companion." Which we'll get more into next time! Since Marvel doesn't have those rights anymore, Death's Head probably wouldn't get to refer back to the Doctor by name: come to think of it, he probably wouldn't be able to refer to the Transformers as such, either. Weird to have two holes like that. Well, later there would be upgraded versions of DH, almost like...regenerations? From Death's Head #8, "Time Bomb!"

I mean….there’s worse things in life you could do instead of swiping from Dr. Who. Definitely suit’s DH tho considering his established history with the Doctor and I could see him riffing on the Doctor’s regeneration process as a way to stick it to him by showing him he could do it too.

By the way, I don’t think DH2’s description of death is any nicer than ours. Sounds a lot like Alzheimer’s/Dementia to me 🤷‍♂️
