Celestials

Celestials existed near the birth of the universe and created life and death along with the multiverse.

There were once billions of Celestials, until the hegemony of the Celestials was challenged by a species known only as the 'Aspirants', who went to war against them by creating a now-lost hyperweapon called the 'Godkiller', a space-borne 25,000 feet-tall humanoid robot which dwarfs even the Celestials themselves; after a bitter war of attrition, during which the Godkiller destroyed countless Celestials, the 'Aspirants' and the Godkiller were ultimately defeated by the Celestials, who wiped out the Aspirants.

New Celestials may be born by consuming the mass of an entire galaxy.

Visiting Earth every few thousand years in groups called "Hosts", the group is revealed to have been responsible for the creation of the Eternals and the Deviants, and via genetic manipulation, the existence of superpowers in mutants.

Resenting the presence of the Celestials and their monitoring of Earth's progress, the Skyfather figures of Earth (e.g. Odin, Zeus, and Vishnu) attempted to stop the Third Host, but were quickly outmatched.

The Skyfathers then developed a convoluted plan to stop the Fourth Host via the use of the Odinsword and Destroyer armour, but once again the Celestials — although also opposed by Odin's son Thor — prevented the offensive and melted the Destroyer armour into slag, scattering the Asgardians' life forces.

Thor threw the Odinsword through Arishem's chest, but he removed it, analyzed it and then vaporized it.

The Earthmothers (such as Frigga and Hera) of Earth, however, made an offering of twelve perfect humans, which was accepted and the planet was spared judgment.

The judgment process was eventually witnessed by Thor, who observed Celestial Arishem the Judge sending an execution code to Exitar the Exterminator, a 20,000-foot (6,100 m) tall Celestial who carried out Arishem's "sentence".

Exitar terraforms the planet in question into a garden paradise, with only the "evil" inhabitants having been destroyed.

On one occasion, the hero Quasar observes a race completely fail the genetic test, with every living creature being destroyed with their planet.

The Celestials' actions conflicted with the policy of "non-interference" practiced by fellow cosmic entities the Watchers, with the two races becoming enemies.

The Celestials and their "opposites," a group of entities known as the Horde, are established as instruments of an entity referred to as the Fulcrum, their purpose to be "instruments of the planting/creation/teeming of the universe."

The team of space adventurers the Guardians of the Galaxy find and use as a base the severed head of a Celestial floating in an area of space known as "The Rip."

Dubbing the structure "Knowhere," it also acts as a common port of call (complete with a market and bar) for travelers from all points in the space-time continuum.

The base is administered by its chief of security, Cosmo, a telepathic and telekinetic Soviet space dog originally lost in Earth orbit in the 1960s.

Courtesy of the deceased Celestial's "Continuum Cortex", travelers with special "passport" bracelets can teleport to any point in the universe instantaneously.
