-Eternals (v.2)#1, 9-12, Avengers#310
A group of massive alien
life-forms, typically 2000 feet high. All that is known of their origins
is that they are born of dead galaxies. They tour the universe, conducting
experiments on the life-forms they encounter, usually creating new races
of Eternals and Deviants. As a safeguard against their creations, they
made the Brethren from bacteria, but ultimately released them from their
service. Experiments upon the Skrulls produced a race of shape-shifting
Deviants who ultimately overran the original Skrulls, and exterminated
them. So far, there are no known Skrull Eternals. The Kree have one surviving
Eternal, Ultimus. No other Kree Eternals or Deviants are known to exist.
Theories as to the Celestials' purpose include that they are a manifestation
of Eternity itself, and are sent out to gather knowledge and understanding
for him. Kubik and Kosmos, two living Cosmic Cubes, believe this to be
a sound theory. It is known that the Celestials visit planets in 4 hosts.
The purpose of their visit is determined by the leader of their expedition
party. Hence, Arishem most often leads the 4th Hosts, which judge the fitness
of a planet to survive. Even the Odinsword cannot slay a Celestial, though
it can temporarily remove their limbs. Only "the Weapon" has the power
to utterly kill a Celestial. The Celestials have no apparent connection
to Galactus. Contrary to some accounts, the Celestials have no homeworld.
