Theory: Darkness, Death, and God all came into existence at the very beginning. They are essentialy complete balance of all that exists. Think of it this way: Darkness is the electron, God is proton, and Death is neutron; together, they make an atom. Note that while Darkness is female, and God is male, it was never specified that Death was either of those, possibly making him/her/it genderless (the only reason why it manifests as male is because it chooses so).

Death once stated that it will kill God one day. This is however, highly unlikely, for if it did, it would remove the Light from universal equasion, resulting in irreparable imbalance.

Theoreticaly, if one was to kill a Horsemen, his attribute would cease to exist alltogether (and reverse). For example, if all diseases in Universe were rooted out permanently, Pestilence would cease to be. However, this cannot be aplied to Death. Why? Because to kill Death would mean to remove the very concept of death, and at that point in space and time, Death would be unable to die because there is no death (mindf**k, I know). Furthermore, without Death, there can be no Life, and only living things can die.

Bottom line: I believe that Death is the most powerful being in existence. Sure, it was bound, but then again so was the Darkness (at this point it is understandable to presume that God can also be bound). The reason for its ultimate power it the fact that Death is utterly unbound to anything: we cannot determine its gender certainly, it is allied to neither Hell or Heaven, neither Darkness or God. Nothing.

Before lore nazis are at my throat, this is just a theory, nothing else. I know it has a lot of holes, but please be kind enough to point them out instead of spearing them out.
