List of Celestials members

The Celestials are fictional characters in the Marvel Universe. They are enigmatic cosmic entities of extreme power.

Arishem the Judge

One of two Celestials who have the right and ability to judge which planet's civilization will live and which will die. Arishem has led all Four Celestial Hosts on Earth as well as Fourth Host on the planet called Pangoria (judged unworthy of life - "The Mighty Thor" v1 #387-389) and a Fifth Host on an unnamed planet in a distant galaxy. He was also the leader among the delegation of Celestials who waged war on the Watchers in an unknown galaxy. — First appeared in "The Eternals" (1976 series) #2

Ashema the Listener

A female Celestial who took human form while on a mission with Nezarr the Calculator. The two were to retrieve Franklin Richards for evaluation as a new member of the Celestial host, and destroy the Earth left behind, as it had now served its purpose by producing a being on par with themselves. However Franklin taught Ashema the ability to feel human empathy, and caused her to change her mind about him and humanity. She eventually defied her brethren, and saved Franklin's Counter Earth by storing it inside of her dreams.

However "The Dreaming Celestial", a renegade, extended its influence to the Counter Earth, and began corrupting it and Ashema. Ashema retaliated, but fell under the control of the Dreaming Celestial. She was saved by the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom, and helped recapture the Dreaming Celestial. It is presumed that she left Earth to rejoin the other Celestials, as she has not been seen since. First appeared in "" #1


= Tiamut, The Dreaming Celestial =

A renegade Celestial. During the Second Host, the Dreaming Celestial committed a crime "against life itself" (which was originally thought to be the murder of another Celestial but in fact he had risen up against his brethren in order to get them to stop consuming the Deviants) and was exiled by his brethren. His spirit was ripped from his body and placed in a device known as the Vial, which was sealed under the Diablo Mountains in California (Eternals Limited #12). He slept there until the Deviant Priestlord "Ghaur" discovered the Vial and drank the essence of the Dreaming Celestial, giving him the height and power of a Celestial. The Dreaming Celestial took advantage of this opportunity and began mentally controlling Ghaur in order to be freed. An intervention by the Avengers and the Eternals led to the plan's downfall and the Vial was sealed once more.

: The Dreaming Celestial, while still trapped in his Diablo Mountain prison, sensed the rebirth of "Ghaur" and caused an Earthquake while tossing and turning uncontrollably in his "bed."

: After the events of Heroes Reborn, the Dreaming Celestial found a loophole out of his prison and into the Heroes Reborn Universe. There, he learned the Celestial "Ashema" guarded this Pocket Universe and that the only way out was through her. However, he found himself opposed by Dr. Doom, Lancer, Technarx and several other heroes. Eventually The Dreaming Celestial captured Ashema and escaped to our Universe, where he was finally thwarted by Doom and The Fantastic Four.

: He awoke again in an alternate future (as seen in "Fantastic Four" #339-340) and manipulated the hunger of a defenseless Galactus who was near death, into a weapon that would consume the entire Universe, enabling him to become the Nucleus and Founder of a new, darker reality. However, the Fantastic Four, Thor, Iron Man and the Shi'ar race were able to avert this by causing Galactus to consume the Renegade.

: It was recently revealed in Eternals #3 (the series by Neil Gaiman) that The Deviants planned to reawaken The Dreaming Celestial. In Eternals #4, it was further revealed that Sprite, used a Uni-Mind link at the resting place of the Dreaming Celestial in order to rewrite reality and make himself human, and to make the Eternals lose their memories. In Eternal #6, The Dreaming Celestial had awoken to its full glory and was to pass judgment on Earth (it was going to simply destroy the Earth but said that it was amused by humans for some unknown reason and decided to wait for an undefined time); it also seemed to have taking a "liking" to Iron Man — First appeared in "The Eternals" (1976 series) #18

Eson the Searcher

Destroyed the legendary isle of Lemuria. - First appeared in "The Eternals" (1976 series) #9

Exitar the Exterminator

Twenty-thousand-feet tall with yellow and black armor. Exitar destroys the life on worlds which fail the Celestials' tests. A full-strength hammer blow from Thor, which shook the entire planet, only managed to punch a small hole in his armor. During a conflict with The Watchers, Exitar's physical form was "murdered" by Sue Storm after she disrupted his "brain case." It was stated however that Exitar will reform after some time.

Gammenon the Gatherer

A Celestial that is sent out to find various plant, animal and humanoid specimens for experimentation. He reports to "Jemiah" and often travels with "Eson". An alternate reality version of him fought alongside Jemiah to battle Ego the Living Planet. As Ego was about to kill the two they were saved at the last moment by Blink of the Exiles. Gammenon takes pity on her and as a reward for saving them, he and Jemiah personally escort Blink back to Earth safely while at the same time giving her a warning about the "Timebreaker" — First appeared in "The Eternals" (1976 series) #6

Hargen the Measurer

A Celestial that measures. True nature of the Job has never been defined. — First appeared in "The Eternals" (1976 series) #7

Jemiah the Analyzer

Jemaih gathers all of the specimens given to him by Gammenon and places them into a massive analyzing machine. An Alternate Reality version of him fought alongside Gammenon to battle Ego the Living Planet. As Ego was about to kill the two they were saved at the last moment by Blink of the Exiles. Jemiah takes pity on her and as a reward for saving them, he and Gammenon personally escort Blink back to Earth safely while at the same time giving her a warning about the "Timebreaker" — First appeared in "The Eternals" (1976 series) #7

Nezarr the Calculator

Two-thousand-feet tall and depicted in dark blue armor, Nezarr participated in the Celestials' four visits (the first through fourth Hosts) to Earth. As a member of the Fourth Host of the Celestials, Nezarr appeared in the Soviet Union and was targeted by an atomic missile directed by General Greshkov. However, Nezarr created an illusion in the minds of the firing crew that the missile had turned back on them, and the resulting mental trauma put all of them into comas. ("Eternals" #9-11).

: In opposing the Asgardians, Nezarr lost his arm in battle with the artificial being the Destroyer. The Destroyer cut Nezarr's arm off with the Odinsword, but he re-grew it almost instantly. Nezarr was also among the delegation of Celestials who waged war against the Watchers. — First appeared in "The Eternals" (1976 series) #9

The One Above All

The leader of the Celestials. Not much is known about him; however, both X-Factor and Thor have encountered him. In particular, he has rescued "Gilgamesh" the "Forgotten", after a Deviant nuclear bomb ("Eternals" #13), and dispatched him to Olympia to tell both Eternals and gods not to interfere in the Celestial's judgement. In the subsequent battle will be involved Thor and Uni-Mind. ("The Mighty Thor" v1 #287-291).

: Not to be confused with the entity of the same name whom the Living Tribunal answers to. - First appeared in "The Eternals" (1976 series) #7

Oneg the Prober

A Celestial that apparently specializes in probing. Is often mocked by fans due to the nature of his job. — First appeared in "The Eternals" (1976 series) #9

Tefral the Surveyor

A Celestial that tests the stability of genes and such in the lifeforms they have evolved. He sends them through a series of tests until they are ready to go back to the Planet to start their new lives. — First appeared in "The Eternals" (1976 series) #18

Devron the Experimenter

A young Celestial who was assigned to watch over Earth alongside "Gamiel the Manipulator". The two were very competitive and nearly caused the destruction of Earth. Eventually he and Gamiel were reassigned to coordinate the first meeting between the Kree and the Skrull... who go to war almost instantly after meeting each other. Unlike most Celestials Devron is only as tall as the Incredible Hulk. — First appeared in "Marvel Monsters: Devil Dinosaur" #1 one-shot (2005). Note: This is a humor story depicting Celestial youth, an inconsistency with Celestial full-grown birth as seen in "The Mighty Thor" #424, and appears to be non-canonical.

Gamiel the Manipulator

A young Celestial who, like "Devron", was assigned to watch over Earth. He was disgusted that Devron's Little Folk had beaten back his creations: the Killer Folk so he brought the Hulk from the future and sent him down upon the Little Folk and their champion: Devil Dinosaur. Eventually he and Devron got in trouble and were reassigned to Hala where they accidentally set the Kree and the Skrull races into a four-million-year war against each other. Unlike most Celestials Gamiel is only as tall as the Incredible Hulk. Note: This is a humor story depicting Celestial youth, an inconsistency with Celestial full-grown birth as seen in "The Mighty Thor" #424, and appears to be non-canonical.

The Red Celestial

This Celestial was the one who helped bring the baby "Blue" Celestial into this Universe. Its name is unknown but it appears its job would be midwifery. After the events of the "Black Galaxy saga" this Celestial was never seen again.

The Blue Celestial

The first ever documented Celestial that was seen born. It was made from the genetic material of the Black Galaxy, a place where Ego the Living Planet, snuffed out all of the stars and the genetic material of Eric Masterson and Hercules. After leaving with the giant Celestial Host at the Black Galaxy it was encountered again by the High Evolutionary, the Goddess Sif and the God Balder. Its duty was to keep Ego the Living Planet at bay while it and his brothers awaited the arrival of the awe-inspiring Super Ego. Once the creature appeared and crushed Ego, the Blue Celestial and its older brethren attacked the Super Ego with full force. However the High Evolutionary has suspicions that they are trying to help the Super Ego in some way... not destroy it. The Blue Celestial was never seen again after this Event.

The Red/Blue Judge

The second known Celestial with the right to judge worlds. When Kosmos and Kubik traveled the Universe they encountered this strange Celestial standing alone. It allowed them to enter its mind and have a peek at what some of the Celestials' secrets were. It eventually judged them worthy of life after letting them see its mind and then it was never seen again.

Monolith Gatherer

A Celestial nearly identical to "Arishem" despite the fact that his armor is red and purple. He made a cameo at the end of the "X-51", the Machine Man series and was seen by Uatu, the Watcher as he took off into the Celestial Mothership with a Monolith in hand. Inside that Monolith was X-51. This Celestial was never seen again after the final issue of the series.

Scathan the Approver

A Celestial from the alternate future of the Guardians of the Galaxy. He was summoned by the Living Tribunal during a battle against the godlike child known as "Protégé". In the end Scathan captured Protégé and the Living Tribunal killed him. Unlike Arishem who judges, Scathan approves and disapproves of certain situations.
