* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Lady Death constantly tries to goad Ernie to bring about "megadeath", which is used to mean human extinction. "Megadeath" is not some made-up word, but a technical term in nuclear warfare theory meaning the deaths of a million people. To kill all of humanity is "omnicide".

* VillainousFriendship: [[VillainProtagonist Ernie]] has one with his sidekick, Smiley, a psychotic sentient button that acts as the source of his power. Smiley was originally Ernie's pet rat, and was one of the only things Ernie genuinely cared for. After his death, Smiley became Ernie's new companion in undeath. He acts as Ernie's guide and voice of reason, often letting his friend know his opinions. They get along very well.
* VillainProtagonist: Although he was given a sympathetic backstory, Ernie remained a classic example of this all through the Chaos! days. Most of his mini-series began with him brutally slaughtering the populace of an entire city (one story started off just after he had killed the people of Manhattan ''single-handedly'' over the period of several months), and then having to ward off attacks from his RoguesGallery, people who would be considered the protagonists in your typical ZombieApocalypse story, or from someone who was the villain by default. One mini-series, ''War of the Dead'', was about his attempts to wipe out humanity by hijacking the United States' nuclear arsenal.

She wished to return to Earth, but could only do so after all humans were destroyed, so she corrupted a young man and turned him into TheDragon to fulfill this purpose, promising to love him forever. What Death did not anticipate is that she would genuinely fall in love with him, playing this trope unusually straight for an OmnicidalManiac pairing.

This was enough to turn Ernie into a serial killer who now seeks to bring about the end of all life on Earth.
