Biography
DeMarr Davis
Ironically, Doorman was the one to die, sacrificing himself so that Mr. Immortal could stop the villain Maelstrom. He met with the other dead GLA members in the afterlife, including Grasshopper, who forgave him. Doorman was however intrigued by the absence of Hawkeye. Shortly afterward, he was summoned by the cosmic entity Oblivion, who declared that thanks to Doorman's connection to the Darkforce Dimension, Doorman could prove useful to him, akin to Deathurge, who had recently been captured by Mr. Immortal. Doorman therefore replaced Deathurge and became Oblivion's new Angel of Death. Doorman continued to be a member of the GLA although, however, a subpoena from the real Avengers forced the team to change their name to the Great Lakes X-Men or GLX. (G.L.A. v1 #4)
Sometime after the battle with Maelstrom, Doorman was celebrating Christmas with the rest of the GLX when he informed the team that he had to go and visit his father. Upon reaching his father's house, his father quickly complained that DeMarr was throwing his life away and needed to join the real world. He told his son that he had "stupid powers" and all the other heroes had better powers than him. Realizing that his own happiness was more important than his father's respect, DeMarr finally admitted the truth to his father: that he had died and come back as the angel of death. He had not come back to visit his father but rather to collect his soul as he had fallen off the roof while setting up Christmas lights and died. Ironically, the revelation of DeMarr's new role in the universe greatly pleased his father, who couldn't wait to brag to all his friends in heaven about how his son was the new angel of death. Upon returning to the team Doorman kept this secret hidden from his friends, not wishing to ruin the happy holidays that they were having. (GLX-Mas Special v1 #1)
