Death's Head II was, in some sense, the second incarnation of the original Death's Head. Like the original, this incarnation was created as nothing but a shell. His original name was Minion and he was the creation of Doctor Necker. However, when the mechanoid killed and absorbed the mind of Death's Head, it also absorbed his personality by accident. Thus, the new Death's Head continued his adventures along with his assistant, Tuck.

Biography

Death's Head II in cyberspace with his past self. (COMIC: The Incomplete Death's Head)

At some point, a cyborg from the year 2020 was programmed by Doctor Necker to hunt down 106 targets and kill them in order to absorb their abilities and instincts. It destroyed Death's Head - who was 105th on its kill list - but due to his robotic nature, his memories and personality survived the absorption and eventually took control of the body. This allowed the cyborg, now known as Death's Head II, to break free from Necker's control and continue on his adventures, where he met Tuck.

Eventually the two suddenly materialised on Maruthea, where they came across the Death's Head Interactive Archive. Death's Head II was implanted into the archive, forced to re-experience his past adventures and interact with a virtual representation of the original Death's Head. Tuck was captured by Hob and forced to watch the archive. However, Death's Head II was able to return to his body from cyberspace, rescue Tuck, and stop Hob from killing the original Death's Head. When the original tried to kill his future self, the Doctor incapacitated him with a modified TCE. He revealed he was the one who took Death's Head to the "robot universe", and that he had transported Death's Head II and Tuck to Maruthea. As Death's Head II and Tuck left, he wiped the original's memory of the encounter with his future self and returned him to the party. (COMIC: The Incomplete Death's Head)
