Death's Head is a fictional comic book character, created by writer Simon Furman and Geoff Senior. Originally published by Marvel UK, he later appeared in comics produced by their parent company. Death's Head is a robotic bounty hunter (though he prefers the term "freelance peace-keeping agent") and superhero. He has a characteristic habit of adding "yes?" to the end of his sentences.
Death's Head first appeared as a supporting character in The Transformers #113 in 1987, before crossing over to other titles, including his own series. In 1992 the character was substantially revised and revived as Death's Head II. The name was revived in 2005 for Death's Head 3.0, written by Furman; while he planned to tie the series into the extant character only hints made it into print. In 2009 the original version was revisited by Kieron Gillen, and has since appeared in numerous Marvel titles.
