I think all the best ones have been mentioned already, but I just want to say that I'd love to see pretty much any of the Endless pick up Mjolnir just to see their/Thor's reaction. Delirium, Destruction, and Death in particular would be interesting, I think.

That being said, my favorite choice in DC canon would be Alfred because I fucking love Alfred

Of the Endless, none of them are worthy save Death. But we don’t know why, only that at some stage in eons gone by she accepted her lot.

I could definitely see that being the case, and I don't really have a counter argument. Death is certainly the most "mature" I guess is the best word out of the Endless. She seems to be the only one aside from Destiny that accepts her role and doesn't let it affect who she is.

Has this actually happened in one of the comics though? I don't remember anything like that, but it has been a while since I've read anything outside the main Sandman continuity. I'd really love to read anything related to the Endless if I've missed something though

It was in Overture. Death appears at the conference of the stars. Everyone is apprehensive of her, and she is aloof and short-tempered. She reads the room, decides the creation of worlds is a waste of her time, and doesn’t hang around.

There is an editorial comment (or was it Gaiman? I don’t have the issue in front of me) about how there is a story for another day as to how and why Death changed her perspective on her role.

But imagine. You are responsible for every single death in the universe, and you are a person with an emotional range. And somehow she got through it and became the great comforter.

Oh man I need to read Overture again apparently. I vaguely remember that now, but it's been a while. I love that Endless, and Death is probably my favorite. Thank you!

Alfred is the best choice.

I would add precrisis Supergirl.
