The Elders of the Universe

Imagine life without end: Your children's grandchildren died 12 billion 
years ago. Four billion years ago, your home star grew cold and dark. 
Your galaxy collapsed on itself two billion years ago; all that remains 
now is a dark singularity. Of all the trillions of lifeforms in your 
galaxy, you alone fled and escaped the death of your race. Of all the 
trillions of lifeforms, you alone understood that to live one needs a 
passion. Of all the trillions, you alone. Alone. This is what it means 
to be an Elder of the Universe. The Elders are the only survivors of the 
first galaxies that formed in the wake of the Big Bang. Each comes from 
a different race and a different galaxy. Each has achieved immortality 
and moves freely through space. And each wields the power of a god, 
though the forms of this power are as varied as the Elders themselves. 
Long ago, every Elder realized the key to eternal life lay in an all- 
encompassing task that prevented its pursuer from losing interest in 
life. To this end, every Elder has spent the eons of his life pursuing 
highly individualized pastimes. The tasks can be esoteric or amazingly 
direct; some elders have chosen to perfect their mental or physical 
potentials, and others have dedicated their lives to Herculean errands 
that can never be finished. Whatever the pursuit, it is immense, perhaps 
even impossible--for with fulfillment comes oblivion. How can mortal 
minds compre- hend the purpose and methods of such beings? We cannot. We 
can only observe and hope they intend us no harm--though of late, the 
Elders have provided reason to doubt their benevolence. No mortal knows 
the true number of Elders, The following 11 recently united in an 
attempt to destroy Galactus, the only living being older than they.
