The Endless: Destruction Is the Missing Prodigal The Endless, in order of appearance in the universe, are Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, twins Desire and Despair, and Delirium, who was once known as Delight. The seven are much more than mere gods: they are personifications of core aspects of conscious existence.
Destruction, often called "The Prodigal", abandoned his duties altogether. If one of the Endless is destroyed, then they will be replaced by another aspect of their role, but this does not occur if they are simply absent or inactive.
The Endless are each the seven children of even older entities, known as Mother NightOpens in new tab and Father TimeOpens in new tab. Destiny was born first, followed by Death, then Dream, Destruction, the twins known as Desire and Despair, and finally, Delirium, the youngest.
The prodigal brother of the Endless family, Destruction left his post because he didn't want to be responsible for the chaos humanity would bring upon itself when it turned to science. Because destruction is what happens when dreams get subverted to evil ends.
Destiny, the eldest of the Endless, is one of the most powerful and influential of his siblings. As the ultimate observer, Destiny is the personification of fate and is generally all-knowing.
In the series, the Corinthian displays his talent for possessing the bodies of the living, a process which causes the possessed body's hair to turn white and the eye sockets to bleed as the eyes are replaced (possibly eaten) by the Corinthian's teeth.
If one of the Endless is destroyed, then he or she will be replaced by another aspect of their role, but this does not occur if they are simply absent or inactive. In such cases, the aspect of existence supervised by that member of the Endless becomes more random and chaotic.
The Endless are a somewhat dysfunctional family of seven siblings who each represent an aspect of life: Dream, Death, Destiny, Despair, Desire, Delirium and Destruction.
The Endless: Destruction Is the Missing Prodigal
The Endless, in order of appearance in the universe, are Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, twins Desire and Despair, and Delirium, who was once known as Delight. The seven are much more than mere gods: they are personifications of core aspects of conscious existence.
Mother Night is a cosmic being introduced in The Sandman: Overture, the embodiment of the absolute emptiness that predates creation. She is revealed to be the mother of The Endless with her consort, Time.
As children of Time and Darkness, the Endless are incredibly powerful beings, capable to create entire realms and dimensions while existing as the embodiment of their realms. They are said to be more powerful than every single god, even surpassing some of the weaker Primordials.
Dream is without question one of the strongest characters in The Sandman universe thanks to his powerful and varied abilities and also because he is more than willing to act on his power. Dream is so powerful that he is even willing to venture into Hell itself to confront Lucifer Morningstar when the need arises.
In The Sandman universe, Death is the most powerful Endless. The power levels of the siblings are largely related to their age. The older an Endless is, the more powerful they are. However, despite being the second-oldest Endless, Death is said to be their most powerful member.
While there are other siblings that have been mentioned and not featured in the series, The Prodigal's absence raises more eyebrows than rest. During Morpheus' pensive walk with sister Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) the two briefly discuss The Prodigal's whereabouts, with Death confessing that he was still missing.
Gaiman never directly implied that the Endless were created by God. However, there are many hints in the comics that he did, after all.
Her first form is an obese woman who is always naked, and the second one is tall and has a tattoo. Despair's powers are related to emotional aspects such as fear, anxiety, hopelessness, and whatnot. She can travel around mortal beings and play with their emotions without even getting noticed.
It was the reason why he altered the ruby so that even dreams could be turned into reality because he defied anything and everything that didn't exist for real. In the end, John challenged Morpheus in his own dreamworld and tried to kill him there. In the process, he destroyed the ruby and released the power inside it.
Lady Johanna
She was created by Neil Gaiman as a tribute to Alan Moore, who created John Constantine. Operating as an occult detective and adventurer in the 18th and 19th centuries, Johanna Constantine is thus John Constantine's ancestor. And clearly John's inspiration for how he lives his own demon-hunting life.
Powers. Personification of Dreams: As one of the seven Endless, inconceivably powerful beings, Dream is both the lord and personification of all dreams and reality. He possesses absolute control over sleep, dreams, nightmares, and even insomnia.
More than a mere personification of abstract concepts, each Endless is the idea itself, making them immune to death or destruction. While even god can be slain, a fallen Endless is merely replaced by another version of itself because the universe cannot function without these concepts.
There's a 'vibe' in the series of the endless having a power rank roughly in line with their ages (oldest to youngest), which fits well with dream's speech. Of the six mentioned so far the age order is Destiny > Death > Dream > Desire > Despair > Delirium. But there's no clear ranking as such.
Symbolisms in The Sandman Logo
The symbolic D (aside from the title itself) embodies one of the monikers the protagonist uses, which is Dream, and begins with the letter D. In addition, most of the Endless also begin with a letter D—Destiny, Death, Destruction, Desire, Delirium, Despair.
According to Gaiman: "The reason the Endless didn't free him isn't because they weren't aware of the situation, but because they aren't a superteam; rushing to the rescue isn't what they're about.
The Endless are also forbidden from spilling their family's blood. If they break these rules, they risk their own destruction.
