There is a false idea surrounding the celestials Marvel comics. Fans often consider them as the beings who have created the universe, but this is not the case. Instead, these beings seized authority on various parts of the Marvel universe, acting as judges simply because they had the power to do so. Humanoid beings with powers impossible to assess, many celestial characters fulfill a special role, realizing it for millions of years.

Make things even more interesting, some beings with different stories receive the name “celestial” in separate universes. For example, Mantis and Star-Lord have had significant changes linked to their celestial status in the Marvel cinematographic universe. While many celestials have similar capacities, the analysis of their achievements can help establish their relative power.

Updated on March 18, 2025 by Natasha Elder: The celestials are among the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe, but not all of them have the same power. This list is updated to include more strongest celestials, better define why some have won their placement and reflected the latest CBR style guide.

Mantis (MCU version) has lost its celestial origins, but is always powerful

She put the celestial and titans asleep

Just like another star character in Galaxy goalkeepersMantis has undergone a significant change in his character. Instead of being the future celestial Madonna, she is the ego daughter and guardian, a fairly strong heavenly in its own right. Ego abused Mantis for many years until the Guardians of the Galaxy saved him in the second episode of the film series, which led him to become a beloved member of the crew.

Beyond the gods and mutants who live on earth, the Marvel Comics universe is home to incredibly strong and powerful extraterrestrial races.

Mantis is a semi-cell, which means that she has superhuman strength, endurance and reflexes. In addition, it can only feel and control the emotions of others by touching them, which offers a precious advantage in combat. She can even induce sleep in her enemies. This capacity is powerful enough to influence even powerful beings, like Ego himself and Thanos. Despite this, other celestials have proven to have much more power, which is why it is classified the last on the list.

34

Star-Lord (MCU version) is a partial celestial

Star-Lord is the emblematic leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy in the film Marvel of the same name. One of the greatest changes brought by the MCU to his character was to reveal it as a human / celestial hybrid, which makes him one of the strongest characters in the MCU for a brief period. Star-Lord has never been able to release its powerful accounts when they activated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2But his achievements have become a testimony to his potential.

Star-Lord even fought the ego of the celestial planet in a dead end, although Star-Lord has certainly helped significant aid. Star-Lord has demonstrated the ability to create energy from nothing and could make it do what he wanted. Star-Lord also displayed a form of metamorph when he turned into a huge Pac-Man. He would probably have developed the same powers as the ego, but his powers did not last long.

33

The star child has a lot of potential

His youth retains him, for the moment

The star child is a celestial baby found and raised by the brotherhood of the shield after Leonardo da Vinci found it in the sun. Although it was the first celestial to be done thanks to the birth of the child, it is always a complete celestial, not a hybrid four years after the adoption of the team, the Star Child found the silent mathematics of Newton in the study of the scientist. As he speaks only in mathematics, this theory has completely changed his mind.

Although he is only a child, the star child is always a pure celestial, which makes him more powerful than the hybrid celestes. In the brief moment when he accompanied the fraternity, he showed the ability to travel in time and project the energy of the stars through the head and hands. Thus, even if he is quite young compared to other celestials, he has a lot of potential.

32

Revelation (in Sabah Nur) uses celestial technology to improve its energy

Although he is not a complete celestial himself, it gives him heavenly type powers

While blurring the lines a little with regard to the powerful celestials, Apocalypse is a well -written living agent of evolution whose armor includes celestial technology. In addition, as a mutant, the inheritance of Apocalypse links it to the celestials. After accepting to become a celestial goalkeeper and helped to continue the evolution of mutants, he received continuous celestial cybergnetic improvements.

Associated with its status as external, Apocalupse has large various powers and constantly evolving. Apocalypse used the sensitive celestial ship as head office and used its technology to transform other mutants into its rider. In doing so, Apocalypse has proven how threatening it could be, even during the fight against strong mutants. Since the advent of Krakoa as a nation, Apocalypse has been interested in creating a school of mutant magic, before joining his family in Amenth.

31

Ashema the listener is sympathetic to the causes of others

Its strength saved others’ lives at a great risk for itself

After the assault event, heroes like the Fantastic Four and the Avengers have disappeared in a strange world known as Earth. In order not to be confused with the world created of the high evolutionary, this counter-earth was created by the incredibly powerful Franklin Richards. During the event, the celestial, Ashema the listener, took the form of a human woman and sought Franklin.

The celestials instructed Ashema to bring Franklin Richards to that especially for the evaluation. However, the hopeful ideals of young Franklin influenced Ashema’s decision. While Franklin was originally informed that he had to destroy the world he created, Ashema keeps security in his own body in favor of Franklin, allowing heroes to return to earth. Although it is finally overcome by the dreamy celestial, its initial actions are sufficient to prove that it is great.

30

Jemiah the analyzer is one of the most intelligent celestials

He is a devoted archivist who wrote the fractals scriptures

Created by Jack Kirby for the first volume of Eternals, Jemiah The analyzer is renowned for rebelled against the aspirants and the first firmament. With a team, he destroyed the first cosmos and transformed it into a second cosmos. This has occurred half a dozen times more depending on the multi-life cycles. Before the seventh cosmos, Jemiah was one of the celestials who defeated Knull, the father of the symbiotes, and sent him to the void.

Despite these achievements, what Jemiah the analyzer may be the most famous is to be intelligent. In addition to his brute force, he is a committed archivist. According to Incredible Hercules # 117, by Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente, Jemiah wrote the fractal scriptures, something like the celestial Bible for the outlets. This combination of power and intelligence makes him an important threat, although the fact that others celestials are threats at the end of the end of the world is the reason why it is classified n ° 30.

29

Ziran the tester was part of many hosts

It also tests advanced cash genes

As its name suggests, Ziran the tester’s mission is to test the genes in advanced species. For this reason, Ziran was an integral part of the first, second, third and fourth celestial hosts, a feat that all celestials cannot claim. He was also part of a tremendous combat force, as he proved when he encountered destroyer armor and unity alongside other celestials.

From Magneto to Iceman via Jean Gray, Mutants of Omega level of Marvel have a reputation for their invigorating capacities and / or the sets of destructive powers.

Although the unity is made up of all the eternal together, specifically formed to overcome the enemies that are too large for one, the celestials were able to master it. Ziran worked with the other celestials to draw an explosion of energy that beat the unit. Ziran was also part of the host who destroyed the destroyer armor, another impressive feat.

28

Tefral the surveyor devoted himself to the exploration of the planets

He also helped attack Tiamut the communicator

At 2,000 feet high, Téfral The surveyors turn to the residents of the earth, although it is not unusual for the celestials. As a member of the fourth host, Tefral was responsible for surveying the land and mapping of the planet. Its imposing stature is a means of deterrence to prevent it from completing its task. Fortunately for terrans, Tefral’s objectives are not harmful to the earth. Tefral is not much stronger than the average celestial in the large scheme of things. However, it is quite great compared to most of the other characters in the Marvel universe.

Aside from its imposing height, Tefral can manipulate reality, move to extraordinary speeds and project energy as an attack. Thus, although its objectives are quite harmless, it can be a threat if it is pushed. This force is apparent when he associates with Nezarr the calculator, Hargen the measurer, Jemiah the analyzer and Ashimem judges him to attack Tiamut the communicator, the dream celestial.

27

Hargen The measurer evaluated the Swiss Alps

In addition, its part as one of the fourth host indicates its importance

As one of the members of Arishem, the betrayal of the dream celestial judge, it is fair to say that Hargen the measurer has a considerable amount of power. The battle between the dreamy celestial cohort and Arishem ended up being what shaped the earth. The fact that it is only collateral damage in a more important part of a fight indicates how strong the forces of the participants were.

When you do not engage a betrayal action, Hargen frequently measures mountain peaks. One of his most recognized evaluations is that of the Swiss Alps, which he has accomplished as part of the fourth host, although it is far from being the only mountain range that Hargen has measured. This quiet hobby cannot distract from Hargen’s dangerous dangerous potential, which is why he is a formidable celestial.

26

Gamiel The manipulator compensates for his smaller size with his intelligence

He provoked a war that lasted millions of years between the Skrull and the Kree

Although almost all celestials have similar power levels, there is no doubt that Gamiel remains on the lowest side of the spectrum. He has the usual celestial powers but is the youngest in his species. Consequently, the other celestials attribute Gamiel to monitor the earth. Although this seems to be a considerable responsibility on the surface, with regard to what the celestials generally do, this work is not as impressive.

In addition, Gamiel does not have the same imposing stature as the other celestials. Rather than the typical height, its size is almost equivalent to the Hulk. Despite his size and unaccompressing work, it is always worth recognizing that Gamiel is capable of destroying the worlds because of his smart machinations. In fact, Gamiel won his title “The Manipulator” after having triggered the four million year war between the Skrull and the Kree.

GROFFON The regurger was sorted on the shutter to destroy the earth

If it was not for the preparations for Deadpool, he would have succeeded

Deadpool of Marvel de Marvel with Deadpool encountered a dark celestial known under the name of Groffon Le Regurger. Groffon had a unique reader who separated him from the other celestials. Groffon consumed planets, then immediately vomited the material on the planet, Groffon did this to make the planet more suited to its offspring, known as Gurgers. Deadpool hoped to bring new customers to his mercenary activity, so he arranged for Groffon to attack the land.

Once Groffron has shown how dangerous he was, Deadpool planned to dive to save the planet. He used a special pistol to kill Groffon, and although he encountered complications, this mercenary finally ended the threat of one of the strangest celestials in the Marvel universe. While the elimination of Groffon in the hands of Deadpool seems to indicate that Groffon is weak, the deadpool weapon used was specifically made to eliminate celestial and any other weapon has proven practically ineffective. However, it was relatively easy to eliminate, which is why it is classified in the 25th place.

24

Gammenon The picker is in charge of multi -life cycles

He also fought Thor and Odin alongside others

One of the celestials who rebelled against the aspirants, Gammenon has become one of the beings in charge of multi -life cycles. More specifically, he is responsible for collecting specimens of all planets to experiment with a collection ROD which captures and quietly calms its victims. As such, he also participated in the creation of the first deviants and the enence of the earth, demonstrating his influence.

Gammenon is particularly known to fight Thor and Odin Thor # 300, with his peers, Arishem, Nezzar, Oneg and Jemiah, among others. This group of celestials would have killed the Asgardians if Gaea had not pleaded for his son before it happened. Although it is part of a team when this meeting occurred, the indisputable contribution of Gammenon to the success of the celestial acts as an additional proof that it is one of the most remarkable celestials of Marvel.

23

Ajak Celestia absorbed the power of the ancestor

She could also share her new capacities with others

Originally one of the 100 eternal created by the first host, Ajak made his debut in comics in 1976, in Ethernals # 2, created by Jack Kirby. However, his character was completely transformed during Day of judgment. In the sixth issue of the series, the progenitor sacrifices himself and gives him all his powers, as an atonement for what she did. While she was powerful alone before that, she became even more later.

More specifically, as an eternal, Ajak was already a complete superhuman, but once she became Ajak Celestial, the ancestor gave her all her powers. After receiving these new capacities, Ajak was able to transcend the time and the shift. In addition to these powers, she was also able to give her powers to others. In addition, she had a cosmic consciousness.

22

Eson the researcher managed to warn the avengers of the imminent conviction

His resilience was the key to the survival of the earth

The comic book version of Enon The researcher was powerful, but he also perished. That being said, he actually survived longer than many other celestials, who had been killed while trying to prevent the first firmament from resuming the multiverse. This impressive resilience allowed him to help the Avengers prepare to fight the dark celestials.

The MCU version of Eson The researcher became the only Celestial Comic Strip to appear in the first phases. In the MCU, the collector showed guards of the galaxy a hologram of the time, Eson struck the ground with his scepter, eagerly erase a whole breed of beings. Similar to its comic counterpart, this Eon is also dead. Although capable of managing significant quantities of destruction, the two versions of Enon, the researcher, have proven to be defeated.

21

Celestial Madonna was determined to save her child

As such, she made great efforts to ensure her survival

While Mantis also wore the title of Celestial Madonna in the comic strips of Marvel, the giant celestial Madonna is not linked to Mantis. This version of Celestial Madonna arrived on Earth in 114 AD. She had a powerful child in her belly and she knew that birth would destroy her. She also knew that less than she provided her child with great energy at birth, he would also die.

Over the years, the X-Men have introduced hundreds of characters, some of whom have been forgotten despite their extreme power and potential.

To prevent this from happening, the celestial Madonna flew to the sun and gave birth to the star child, which she then left there to find food for him. We know little about the star Child, beyond the fact that Leonardo da Vinci discovered celestial offspring. As for the celestial Madonna, it is remarkable that it could survive by giving birth to the sun, indicating its higher sustainability.

The Phoenix strength takes many forms

However, all are powerful

The nature of Phoenix Force continues to move from one story to another, but it is accepted as being associated with cosmic powers, which describes it as heavenly in many iterations. Jean Gray is by far the best known host of Phoenix Force. However, most readers do not only realize Phoenix initially copies Jean’s resemblance and acts on himself, rather than possessing it and corrupting it.

As a dark phoenix, the Phoenix force could wipe the mutants and the humans of existence, stifling billions of lives after having nourished and absorbed the energy of a star. Later, the Phoenix would demonstrate invigorating capacities, helping Hope Summers and the scarlet witch to restore the mutant gene among humanity. These notable exploits make strength the Phoenix one of the strongest celestials, and the 20th place deserved, despite the fact that this is not what fans could at the start during the imagination of a celestial.

Thus, despite his death for billions of years, he has a big impact

The ancestor was an alpha Celestial who arrived on the primitive earth billions of years before the beginning of the modern and familiar world of Marvel comics. Infected with the cosmic horde, he died when he came to this world, but he was in fact much stronger than this early death would be. The ancestor turned out to be so powerful that his blood infiltrates the earth has forever changed the planet.

Time revealed the overturned blood of the ancestor as the reason why metahumans, mutants and other superhuman beings have caused and prospered on earth. Those who are aware of the role of the ancestor among the origins of the earth qualified the fallen celestial as “the father of the Avengers”. That his blood can be so powerful than influencing the people on earth so many millennia after his death indicates how strong he was.

18

The celestial destructive was responsible for destroying the eighth iteration of eternity

Although he failed, he was indicative of his power to trust the responsibility

The celestial destructive comes from a special variety of celestials called “aspiring”. We can say it outside the other celestials by their red and black armor. The first firmament – the very first reality to exist – sent the celestial destructive to destroy the eighth iteration of eternity which was born from 2015 Secret wars event.

However, for all this pump and this circumstance, the celestial destructive was easily sent upon arrival on Earth. During Civil war II The event, the inhuman Ulysses predicted the arrival of the aspirant. The heroes based on magic of the earth have gathered, developed a spell and returned the celestial destructive to its point of origin. Despite this defeat, the celestial destructive is still clearly powerful enough since he was responsible for destroying the eighth iteration of eternity in the first place.

17

Zgreb The falls suffered a lot of damage, accidentally

During the fight intentionally, he became an even greater enemy

Zgreb the aspirant became the celestial who defeated the Phoenix. A cosmic being known both under the name of “Sorrower” and “The Fallen”, Zgreb searched the universe his lover, paying no attention to the destruction left in his wake. The thoughtless damage that Zgreb inflict would be sufficiently frightening, but it is even more intimidating when it begins to fight with intention.

Zgreb was powerful enough to fight alone against the old Avengers, a team that understood the often misunderstood Odin, and it is only the combined efforts of these beings who distant Zgreb. Zgreb returned millennia later, even more powerful, and only lost when the new Avengers withdrew all stops. Thus, he imposed himself as one of the most feared celestials in the Marvel universe.

16

Arishem the judge led the fourth host

It also helps to decide which planets should be destroyed

Arishem the judge directed the fourth multitude of earth celestials and almost destroyed the deviants with a flood known as “Great Cataclysm”. He also participated in a celestial war with the observers race and was one of the celestials who decided what planets to destroy. This immense responsibility, as well as the ability to achieve it, shows how destructive the judge can be.

In addition to these exploits, Arishem fought X-Factor during an event known as “Warding War”, which ended with Arishem by losing a hand against Cyclops and Jean Gray. Unfortunately for Arishem, it was not his only loss or his worst. His last spell came when the dark celestials began their unleashing and killed their heavenly compatriots. Arishem’s body fell on earth and warned the Avengers for the arrival of dark celestials.
