The details of when, how, and why this happened are well beyond the bounds of human comprehension, and are best left vague.īecause of the Fulcrum’s influence, or perhaps because of something innate within themselves, the Celestials developed a desire to create life of their own, free from the oversight of the First Firmament. In time, the Celestials fell under the influence of an entity known as the Fulcrum - possibly also the One Above All and maybe even an omnipotent Jack Kirby - who somehow ranked ahead of even the First Firmament in the cosmic pecking order and may have created it.
That tendency has left their mighty fingerprints all over the deep history of Marvel Comics - and, in due time, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well. The Celestials aren’t the most powerful beings in the Marvel Multiverse, but they’re well within the upper tier, and they’re definitely the most meddlesome of the bunch. Put bluntly, the Celestials are responsible for the creation of the Marvel Multiverse itself, and for a not-inconsiderable amount of the beings that inhabit it - including the Eternals, the Deviants, mutants, and even Galactus the Devourer of Worlds himself. The answers to simple questions like “How many Celestials are there?” or “What do they want?” are beyond the bounds of human comprehension. The nigh-omnipotent beings have been around the Marvel Universe since long before the very beginning, and that’s not the last of the cosmic contradictions that define their story.
One cannot examine Marvel’s celestial origins without understanding the origins of Marvel’s Celestials, fittingly enough.
