"Death-defying" can be translated mortis neglegens (lit. "heedless of death"). There are several Latin words that can be translated "bravery", but none with that primary sense. Some of these are:

  • fortitudo, -inis, f. (literally "strength")
  • virtus, -tutis, f. (literally "manliness, virtue")
  • animus, -i, m. (literally "spirit")
  • audacia, -ae, f. (literally "boldness")

The adjective neglegens is of common gender, which means that it can be applied to both masculine and feminine nouns. So both fortitudo mortis neglegens and animus mortis neglegens would be grammatically correct.

As always, be aware that Latin nouns and adjectives change form depending on what grammatical role they play. The forms given here are nominative, meaning they are appropriate for the subject of a sentence. In a sentence such as "He fought with death-defying bravery" you would need the ablative instead, e.g. pugnavit cum fortitudine mortis neglegenti.
