Galactus [0:00]
Galactus is one of the oldest and most powerful entities in the Marvel universe, existing since the birth of the universe. He appears as a massive humanoid in purple armor and consumes planets to sustain himself, acting as a necessary force of balance. Galactus possesses powers like energy production, force fields, telepathy, telekinesis, and matter manipulation, and he can grant a fraction of his power to heralds who find planets for him to consume. He can also alter his size.
Celestial [1:26]
The Celestials are colossal beings responsible for creating life across the cosmos by planting seeds of life on planets and intervening to guide evolution. They created the Deviants to eliminate apex predators and later designed the Eternals to protect humanity from the Deviants. The Celestials' actions are part of a cosmic plan called the Emergence, where a new Celestial is born by absorbing energy from a planet's life forms, ultimately destroying the host planet. They can travel vast distances through teleportation, manipulate cosmic energy, and obliterate entire planets.
Eternity [3:02]
Eternity is the personification of the universe, embodying all existence across time and space. He appears as a humanoid silhouette made of stars and galaxies and resides at the center of the universe, granting wishes to those who reach him. Accessing Eternity requires entering the Temple of Eternity and channeling the Bifrost through a specific statue, a feat achievable by only a few. Eternity is nearly omnipotent, with mastery over time, space, and reality on a multiversal scale, and possesses cosmic awareness.
Dormamu [4:30]
Dormammu is the ruler of the Dark Dimension, a realm outside of time and reality. He appears as a massive head made of magical energy and has consumed countless realms, posing a threat to the universe. Dormammu is a powerful dark magic user with nearly limitless abilities, including energy blasts, summoning tentacles, and launching projectiles. He is invulnerable inside the Dark Dimension, making him virtually unbeatable in his own realm.
Living Tribunal [5:48]
The Living Tribunal is the cosmic judge of the Marvel multiverse, maintaining balance between realities and preventing multiversal collapse. He appears as a massive golden figure with three faces representing necessity, equity, and vengeance, the principles guiding his judgment. The Living Tribunal resides in the Star Chamber, an isolated space beyond all universes, and stands near the top of the Marvel cosmic hierarchy, second only to the One Above All. He possesses near omnipotence and multiversal authority, overruling even cosmic forces and gods.
Alioth [7:21]
Alioth is a massive time monster resembling a black cloud with a storm inside, placed at the end of time by He Who Remains to guard his citadel. He exists in the void outside the sacred timeline, devouring everything he touches and growing larger as he absorbs matter and energy. Alioth's power is so immense that He Who Remains believed he could dominate the entire multiverse, implying Alioth's capability to consume it entirely.
Surtur [8:31]
Surtur is the ruler of Muspelheim, destined to bring about Ragnarok and destroy Asgard. He is a massive fire giant with horns and a flaming sword, able to generate and manipulate heat and fire. When Surtur has access to the Eternal Flame, the source of his power, he becomes nearly unstoppable, capable of destroying entire realms. At his peak, Surtur can eradicate Asgard with a single swing of his sword.
The Watcher [9:48]
The Watchers are an ancient race that observes the multiverse but vows never to interfere. They are recognized by their tall figure with a massive bald head, wearing a white uniform with a golden chest plate and a blue cloak. The Watchers possess multiversal awareness, witnessing all timelines and realities simultaneously, and can travel freely across space, time, and alternate universes. They have tremendous cosmic power, with a single Watcher able to overpower the combined might of all six Infinity Stones.
