I not gonna lie marvel has really interesting lore than just superheroes doing superhero things. Marvel should really tap into all this lore and flesh it out to its fullest like how star trek or star wars or warhammer 40k and SCP foundation or even something as simple as a dectective story or a horror story. It doesn't have to be superheroes. Image comics does this where they use the multiverse mechanic and have different stories that aren't always superheroes as well as other indie comic publishers. Infinite universes can equal infinite possibilities when handles properly since a multiverse is a plot mechanism.

FYI, the "heat death" of the Universe is when the Universe expands and everything eventually fizzles out because no more sources of creating energy (aka stars) are made and it just exists in a cold dark state. The "Big Crunch" is another possible state where there is enough matter/energy in it to halt and reverse the expansion. Lastly the "Big Rip" is where there's too much dark energy and it expands to the point where everything is quite literally ripped apart even down to the nuclear level of atoms.

I believe from the Guardians of the Galaxy run a new Celestial was born, I can’t remember if it destroyed a world. It’s the same run from the Protégée saga. I could dig it out and look but I have A LOT comics. I also have a lot of Bob Layton’s limited series Hercules run, that warrants a fun explanation.

I wonder if the Celestials know who the one above all is or if they have ever interacted with him
If we get the Aspirants and the First Firmament in the MCU I'd freak.
Thanks crushed everyone but the LT and OAA. Chad energy that one had in the 80s.
Essentially there is the one above all who created the first firmament in the void which constisted of the original eternity and infinity and it created the cosmic entities who spread life such as the aspirants, the builders and the gardners but the first firmament had become arrogant and thought itself supreme and so the one above all created his avatar in the form of the vulkrum and he tought aspirants who would join him the meaning of existance was to have a finnallity. This sparked a civil war among the the aspirants which ended in the creation of the multiverse and the formation of the celestials and the flight of the first firmament which most likely became Perpetua. These new universes would be blessed with meaning for they would know death and nothingness and rebirth in the form lady death, the inbetweener and oblivion and their aspects like the phoenix force, the black winter, Abraxas, galactus, knull, the chaos king, the void and the individual gods of death like Hela these together create a delicate balance in keeping the multiverse existing and reincarnating while being overseen by the living tribunal who speaks in the judgement of the one above all. All of it orchistrated by the one above all and his own reflection the one below all.

I thought that each time the multiverse is destroyed then, out of the void a new multiverse comes into being.
