—Impossible City[source]The Dead is as simple as they are inscrutable. [...] Where Lord Ennui seeks out life to quiet, the Dead stirs up the already quiet. Gives them life. Gives them a voice. And gives them the chance to revenge themselves on those who have forgotten them.
History
The Dead is a member of the Ashen Combine, a group composed of the multiverse's greatest monsters. Along with the other members of the Ashen Combine, The Dead was defeated by an unknown group of heroes and imprisoned within their sentient headquarters, the Impossible City. When the heroes vanished, the Ashen Combine escaped, commandeering the Impossible City as their mobile headquarters from which to ravage the multiverse.[2]
Upon arriving on Earth-616, The Dead manifested in Sydney, Australia, where they used their powers to awaken an army of Undead buried in Rookwood Cemetery to terrorize the living. They were confronted by the Scarlet Witch, whom they tormented with visions of Chthon.[3] Wanda ultimately realized that the source of the Dead's power was their proximity to deceased souls, and rendered their powerless by teleporting both of them to Antarctica. After their defeat, they were once again imprisoned in the Impossible City, alongside the rest of the Ashen Combine.[2]Attributes
