He was an amazing person, a very big fan of the Celestials, and the nicest KMC member in its entire history. The thread announcing his passing can be found here. Stay peaceful, stay respectful, and enjoy the thread.

Welcome

Yeah, get ready for another epic respect thread! This one dedicated to the enigmatic giants, the Celestials. Scans, info whatever. I have not yet decided to group single celestials from others, nor separate group showing from individual ones yet...they will be in a random order; maybe once I have an array of showings to choose from, I will organize the thread a bit more. As you know The Celestials don't really need respect for themselves, their abilities are expected to be high. Therefore, this will be a capabilities thread.

Enjoy.

Background Info

ORIGIN THEORIES

Just what exactly ARE the Celestials? Does anyone know? Can we even comprehend what they are? Well, there are some interesting theories:

The Cognitorum of Velsarius Six believes the Celestials come from outside our multiverse.

According to the Philosopix Ultimus of the Uch'tul hegemony, the Celestials are stars that have reached the end of their cycles, and born from black holes.

The Overscholars of the Winding Mist think the Celestials may each be the survivors of a previous universe, and that when Galactus has served his purpose, he will become a Celestial in the next universe.

The Galaxy M31 once thought the Celestials are the physical manifestation of the evolutionary process, and are simply illusions.

But perhaps the most sound theory is the one held by Kubik & Kosmos, two former Cosmic Cubes. They believe that the Celestials are the creation of Eternity, and are sent forth by him to gather knowledge.

Here: http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/6736/surferrf5.th.jpg

Which of these theories is correct? Well, none of them are proven. According to Kubik, we must each make our own decision about what the Celestials are. And that's the best answer there is.


WHAT WE DO KNOW

If you've read Fantastic Four#319, you know that the Celestials have a homeworld. It stand to reason then, that they have some sort of culture, civilization, and possibly, a good coffee shop, right? Wrong. The "homeworld" seen in that story was a trick, as the Beyonder later learnt. Trust no one.

Nonetheless, we DO know how Celestials are born. The Black Galaxy, a galaxy whose stars were all snuffed out by Ego, was transformed by the Celestials into a new Celestial, with the help of Hercules & Eric Masterson's DNA, and a big burst of energy from Stellaris (who was actually trying to kill the Celestials).

Given the above, it is interesting to note that the Black Galaxy, at the time of its transformation into a Celestial, was a dead galaxy. This suggests that dead galaxies are re-made into Celestials, or perhaps the "unworthy" ones, at least. We also know that Galactus is the Devourer of] Worlds, and that his destruction of life has a purpose. Could Galactus' constant ravagings have been making room for the creation of new Celestials? Food for thought.

Adding credance to the theory of Kubik and Kosmos, Eternity once mentioned how his desire to manipulate the events leading to the 2nd Kree-Skrull War led to the manifestation of the Celestials. But if the Celestials are born of Eternity, what of the Black Galaxy "birth" scene? The more we learn, the less we know.

THEIR TECHNOLOGY

Despite being massively powerful- able to melt uru with their energies and erasing themselves from humanity's memories- the Celestials rely upon technology for some of their tricks. This includes space vessels for the Hosts- though Celestials are often seeing in "schools", as seen at the top of this page. The ancient mutant Apocalypse once possessed a Celestial Ship, which he re-programmed to serve him. It is not known when or how he obtained "Ship".

During their "Host" missions, the Celestials have been observed with certain scientific equipment. This includes the staff wielded by Eson, though it's purpose is not known. Gammenon has used a "Gather-Rod", with which he collects samples from planets by re-shaping them into the red blocks on the tip of the Rod. The Rod samples are then placed within the Analyzer, a scanning tool used by Jemiah. Only the Celestials' technology can restore what has been re-shaped by the Rod- much to the dismay of a trio of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents!

Probably the most famous Celestial device is "the Weapon", a large Celestial-size gun that was used to slay the Golden Celestial after he turned against the Host. For some reason, the Celestials did not take this device with them, but let the Eternals handle its imprisonment. When the device was fired, and threatened to destroy the world, the Celestial Ziran took care of the situation. Of course, another Galactus connection suggests itself- is "the Weapon" related to the famed Ultimate Nullifier?

A Deviant expedition to the Celestial Mothership during the 4th Host discovered onboard a "crystal key", some source of great power. The readings they took were duplicated by Deviants on earth, and Ghaur used the Crystal Key to open the Vial containing the essence of the Dreaming Celestial. It is not known what purpose the original "key" may have had, beyond a power source.

Lastly, the Celestials have provided advanced technology to those who have accompanied them in travel- such as the vessels used by the Brethren and the Young Gods. Perhaps Apocalypse's "Ship", which is far too small for a Celestial, was previously used by the Celestials' allies.

The Dreaming Celestial

http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/6334/eternals006021022pz7.th.jpg

The awakening of The Dreaming Celestial causes a cosmic flux. The Watcher cannot watch for a moment. And "Galactus knows what its like to be afraid."

Trying to explain some of the concepts that Celestials use as to why they imprisoned The Dreaming Celestial here, to a human, would be like a human explaining their concepts to bacteria/microbe.
They have no referent.

They attack him... and are unable to even get his attention.

So... they bow down. They also get the Destroyer, and bestow their might into him (the Skyfathers).

So Confrontation. The Destroyer, and Uni-Mind (with a bunch of Eternals), vs the Celestials.

Then... each beam goes through it.

Hey guy222 those are nice scans, but you should upload them through imageshack, and post them as clickable thumbnails, (like Ethereal is doing).

It doesn't take up as much space, it's not as annoying, and your message gets across much better....... Just an idea.

The Celestials are one of Jack Kirby's greatest gifts to Marvel.
I bet he was inspired by the ideas he saw in 2001: A Space Odyssey - he adapted that to comic form. The idea of the unseen otherworlders, shaping man's destiny from afar, acting as invisible benefactors. Even the idea of the Black Monolith - Celestials look as impassive as that object did, which would appear and vanish when it choosed.

And the Neil Gaiman/John Romita Jr. Eternals series looks great. I knew Gaiman could be counted on for smart quality of story with quiet poetry of ideas.

The Celestials vs Pre-retcon Beyonder (by request.)

The Celestials don't win this fight...they dont exactly lose either, its more of a test by The Beyonder. However it does show The Celestials fighting an opponent higher than themselves and what they're capable of. Fighting on planes higher than the physical, the "billions of feints, parries and thrusts per second." Also, its should be noted they survived Beyonder's attack as well.

I don't think it's really the celestials that are doing the feints, parries, and thrusts. Reason being is that the beyonder is talking and explaining the battle. This suggests that he is the one doing the billions of moves in multiple plains of existence. This is further backed up by his quote in the aftermath of stating that no one could observe how impressive it was since it was on multiple plains on existence. I would imagine the beyonder is saying that he himself is impressive, not the celestials.

Also to note is that if you are attacking someone, you don't attack them with parries, feints, and thrusts. Those are DEFENSIVE maneouvers, not offensive. Why would a numerically superior force (the attacking celestials) attempt billions of parries, when parries are blocks of incoming assault? Those billions of moves are the beyonder's feat, not the celestials.

If Beyonder is parrying billions of times per second, then that implies he was being attacked billions of times per second. Or else he wouldn't need to.

parries, feints and thrusts aren't entirely defensive, more deflective opposed to general 'blocking' or shielding. I would assume though both Celestials and Beyonder are maneuvering. Like Endless Mike said, whether The Beyonder is doing the defensive or offensive movements or not, someone would have to be attacking or deflecting the attacks moving at billions of times per second. The battle was taking place on levels of existence higher than the physical - meaning both are competing on that level.

Feints can be offensive in nature, and thrusts are almost always offensive...

And to parry millions of times you're probably being thrusted at millions of times.

The one in the middle is Tiamut the dreaming celestial possibly the strongest of them,

You already know my view on the subject that yes there are to compare with Galactus but they cannot unless they come in force defeat him.

the embodiment of the Phoenix Force itself,
and stomped even Galactus.

Though the 5th Host was victorious,
the entire race of Celestials suffered from the battle.

Btw. Goblin Force really is uberidiculous,
it took an Omniversal power (Havok/Nexus) to erase it from existence.

We were there,

watched as the blight of the Goblin Entity spread across the ever expanding Universe,

"We watched as it DEVOURED the Phoenix Force
and added its Power to its own,

watched as Galactus himself fell before it's Power,

Only when the Fifth Host of Celestials stood before its Power,
was the Goblin Entity halted,

their great Race devastated,
they managed to diminish its Power and contain it"

Great thread. Celestials don't get enough attention or respect. I've seen lists were people have them at the bottom when it comes to cosmics in terms of power.

The Celestials are definetly my favorite of the cosmics. I think the mystery is what does it for me. Being many times more powerful than a cosmic cube helps too.

My favorites so far are (In no particular order):
Scathan the Approver
Exitar the Exterminator
Tiamut the Dreamer

I found this list of all known Celestials on Wiki.

They come across a Universe that is "full of Celestials":

Apparently, the Celestials have sufficient numbers to fill an entire Universe (scary).

great scans Guy.

are those from the current Incredible Herc series?
what was the story about?


gonna try and find a torrent if I can, looks like a good humoured story. Hercules is pretty damned funny, not so world-weary as Thor.

And what is the name of the celestial in the middle arishem(the judge), tiamut(the great renegade), and eson(the searcher)

i think thor put a hole in their armore one time =) thats bout it. I remember theses guys back from when i was a kid, i remember makkari and ikaris and zuras. Theses beings are amazingly powerful.

Thor's Godblast had no effect on Arishem. He did crack upon Exitar's dome. Didn't deter Exitar's mission as he let the good live

How powerful are the Celestials? Who are they? What's under the armor? All adds to their mystique

The Eternals #1, Tiamut states that even in his diminished state he has enough power to destroy most of the Solar System.

Here's a scan of Thor stating that Exitar is more powerful than the entire 4th host.

so are these dudes higher ranking than Galactus in the cosmic hierarchy?

As far as purpose I would say no, although there isn't enough known about the Celestials to know for sure. Galactus has a very important role in the Universe.

Power-wise it depends. I believe there are some Celestials who dwarf Galactus in power. But that's just my opinion.

Originally posted by doomsday49

Taking into consideration Cosmic Cubes comment, they are vary powerful. By them selfs, I am not to sure. Fairly certain, they can give Galactus a fight.

But for sure, Galactus will not be able to bully its way into eating the Celestials home planet (if it exists).

Celestials>Galactus

Lets keep a track record of, significantly strong Celestials.
Scathan (Yeah you know what he did).
The One Above All (Leader of the entire Celestial Race)
Exitar (The strongest out of the 4th host)
Tiamut (The strongest out of the 2nd host, actually fought the 2nd host).

Tiamut vs. 2nd Celestial Host including.

THAT is an amazing series of scans...this entire thread is great.

I want all of your opinion on something. With regards to being created by Eternity, do you think the parts are greater than the whole? Meaning, individually, the Celestials probably aren't as great as Eternity. But considering how many of them there are, do you think their sum total power is greater than Eternity's? Especially in light of Scathan's feats and the 5th host's victory over the Goblin Force.

Scathan alone is probably more powerful than Eternity.

i completely love the celestials....but i fu(kin HATE scathan's pis ass.

Personally I prefer Ea the Wise the 6 inch Celestial

What does this mean exactly? Did I mis-read the title of this thread. Does it says 616 Celestials only?

Celestials are very cool looking and powerful, but a little overrated, IMO. Don't get me wrong, they're are the cream of the crop, but high end Imps have done things similar.

This is a respect thread, and there is proof, not opinions.

Just saying, but a good respect thread, none the less.

i hate u guyz....u have made me fall in love with them they are so interesting.

I am just glad the Celestials have one of the best track records, with vary little low showings.

Doom with the Infinity Gauntlet and the Beyonder's Powers vs The Celestials (What If):
The last scan is pretty interesting.

.

So what is this thing about the 2nd host and 4th host. Can somebody shed some light

Guy knows best but roughly I think this is how it works.

1. Examine and enhance the desired specie. (In earth case Humans)

2. Analyses the outcome of the Situation created previously.

3. Checks yet again and in Earths case makes sure that no outside forces have influence on the outcome.

4. Judges the Planet and its habitants, gives the planet a second chance.

5. Final Judgement, (never seen but probably blows the planet to bits if the planet isn't accepted)

I posted this is in a thread might as well put it here

Scathan was greater than the LT IMO here is why

here is why Scathan defeated Protege
http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/1410/pro2.th.jpg

Here in this scan Protege was about to defeat LT , Eternity Hawk-god etc all of creation.

http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/43/pro3.th.jpg
Right after Protege starts to attack this is stopped by Scathan not approving.

http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/4050/pro4.th.jpg
Again confirm by LT when he say "order is restored"

http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/8822/pro1.th.jpg
Again when LT asks protege to release him from the muzzle Scathan was still holding him, another important fact is that this needed Scathans approval.

Just like how he disapproved Proteges attack on Creation .... Scathan approved LT's judgment as you his his "thumb"

Eternity thought that was more important than anything else ; I mean why mention Scathan needing to approve if he had no power over Protege

Clearly imo this shows Scathan power to approve and disapprove ability were greater than LT's Judgment abilities

http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/460/88200448.th.jpg

Again LT's own official bio says Scathan saved reality by juding agasin't him

this is something even LT could not judge
