Endless (comics)
Sandman comic characters
The Endless are a family of cosmic beings who appear in American comic books published by DC Comics. The members of the family are: Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair and Delirium (formerly Delight).
The Endless characters were created by Neil Gaiman, loosely based on the chthonic gods. They are the children of the primordial entities Chronos (time) and Nyx (night) (taken from Greek mythology)
The Endless first appeared in the comic book series The Sandman (1989–1996). They personify aspects of existence within the DC Universe and are among the most powerful beings in that world. The Endless are distinct from gods in the DC universe, which are created by mortal belief. The character Dream is the protagonist of The Sandman series, but all the Endless play major roles.
The Endless are a dysfunctional family of seven siblings. They appear in different forms but are most often depicted as having very white skin and black hair, with the exception of redheads Delirium and Destruction. Their appearance often changes to fit the expectations of those they meet or the situation they are in.
