Overview

Anubis Anpu, revered as the Egyptian god of death, is a prominent member of the Ennead, the pantheon of deities worshipped in ancient Egypt. Known as the Jackal God, he serves as a guardian of souls, guiding the dead into the afterlife and weighing their hearts against the feather of Ma'at to determine their fate. In the Marvel Universe, Anubis maintains his role as a divine judge while occasionally interacting with heroes such as Moon Knight, often as an ally or enigmatic overseer of mortal destiny. His immense mystical power and dominion over death grant him an aura of awe and fear.

Personality

Anubis embodies solemnity and authority, reflecting his role as a divine arbiter of souls. He is impartial in judgment, treating both heroes and villains alike with the same detached sense of duty. His demeanor is calm, stoic, and inscrutable, though he can be merciless when punishing those who defile the balance of life and death. While he is not inherently cruel, his unwavering commitment to cosmic justice and the natural cycle of mortality makes him appear stern and unforgiving. His sense of humor is virtually nonexistent, and his loyalty lies only with the cosmic laws he upholds.

Netizen Review

Fans view Anubis Anpu as one of the most mysterious and awe-inspiring figures in Marvel's pantheon. His appearances, though infrequent, leave a strong impression due to his imposing presence and thematic connection to death and judgment. Many appreciate his role in expanding the mythological depth of the Marvel Universe, particularly through ties to Moon Knight and the Ennead. While some readers find him intimidating or overly grim, others admire his consistency as a divine force beyond mortal morality. Anubis has developed a cult following among fans who enjoy myth-inspired characters and stories involving cosmic balance.
