The 3 Beyonders(and there are said to be more)or the Ivory kings that much more powerful than the rest of the multi-verse.They beat up on the Celestials like they where nothing.And then beat all the cosmics,just 3 of them.Of the cosmics left,maybe they have a weekness.Galactus with the Un,or maybe the heroes of earth will find away.But it looks bad right now.

It's true.

It's all over for the Celestials. Years of humiliation have destroyed their reputation as respectable cosmic powers.

It all started with that FF issue and the "hyperspace weakness" bullshit and snowballed from there. The final nail in the coffin of the Celestials is the fact that Odin could have destroyed any Celestial he wanted to, even Tiamut or Extiar, because of an enchantment he just pulled out of his ass randomly.

The beyonders could curb stomp celestials, they are just beyond them, its just the way it is however what they have done to them is atrocious apart from that. Celestials was one of the great things about marvel and something DC did not have, now that its been trashed I have disdain. Odin beating them is laughable.

zom1967
Yes there rep has changed from unbeatable from like 1976,to being almost cannon fodder now.

This is typical. When bad guys are first intro'd, they are "all that." But the call for one-upmanship is strong: new bad guys come along to raise the excitement level (and, hopefully, comic book sales), and the previous alphas are knocked down a few notches.

Other eg: Asgardian Destroyer; Doomsday (making way for Imperiex); and it happened to Galactus loonnng ago.

I seem to vaguely remember even Superman(?) or Reed Richards(?) once making a comment to this effect, how there's always the next, more powerful villain waiting in the wings.

Whereas back in the day, didn't he become the Destroyer, absorb the lifeforce of all the Asgardians and still get owned?

I liked them more then, they were uber and completely alien, going around judging, unable to be stopped or reasoned with, and they had cool designs. I miss those guys.

You'd have a point, if this was the 90s. But Galactus has come a long way since then (see Annihilation, the Mad Celestial arc, Thanos Imperative, the Galactus Seed arc, the Scrier/Other war, etc...)

Hell, ODIN has less humiliating showings and weaknesses than the Celestials. IMHO, at this stage in Marvel history, beating Odin or Old King Thor is MORE impressive then owning a Celestial. That's how far they've fallen.

thumb down Odin goes into the Destroyer,that is also empowered by every Asgardian but Thor.Plus has the Odin sword and all the Eternals in the Uni-mind are there for back up.And this 2,000ft. tall Destroyer only does two feats that are impressive(to make it look like he has a chance).He breaks the dome they are in with the power of ultimate disintegration,and chops off Ziran`s arm(that grows right back!).After that it`s a slaughter house,The Celestial`s melt the deatroyer into Slag,make the gods look like weakling`s,make themselves look unbeatable.And the whole time all Odin had to do is go into his library,put A spell on the Odin sword,and he probably would have kicked ass,or at least take out 4 or 5 of them!And drove them off.

Well Eson is the only thing that damaged a Beyonder and they created a multiverse recently. Exitar is so powerful that it took every hero on earth multiplied into one being times two to even stop him from simply levitating downwards, and that's from a shitty writer. We also have a little bit of Tiamuts power being split being enough to beat all of the Phoenix 5 at the same time.
We also have the Black Vortex going on and a Celestial artifact in the Mandalay Gem nigh one shotting Thanos. Among other things.

And the axe is what ODG said. Adding to that, we saw Odin's power amplified many times fail utterly against the Celestials. Just because a plot device of his power can do it, that doesn't mean it's actually his power doing it. We know for a fact he cannot beat a Celestial without, and we don't even know how long it takes to do either or how exactly it's done. We also know Odin won't do it unless faced against Exitar. It's just a plot device. It doesn't make him more powerful in retrospect.

Yes they aren't written as unbeatable anymore, but they also aren't facing the same type of shit. It's not like they're losing to pussies.

From my pov Odin forbid the use of the enchantment because of how potent it was.

It also wouldn't surprise me if Odin was aware of the outcome.

I always thought it was made if the Celestials broke the oath and returned sooner than the 100 (or was it 1000 years). I mean I know the Celestials didn't make the oath exactly but I recall the fact that they wouldn't return for a set amount of time.

True.


Any skyfather worth his name would annihilate Death Sentry and that amped Rogue. So this isn't really that impressive for a high level cosmic being.


Are you talking about the Sinister incident? The P5 were unworthy hosts and the PF went into it's preferred vessel : Jean Grey or her clones. Once the PF was made aware of what was going on, it annihilated Sinster and his base and the clones. Unless you are referring to another showing I'm not aware of?


Low showing for Thanos?


That was one showing 30 years ago. As of 2015, Odin has an enchantment he can use to make a one shot KO/Kill anti-Celestial weapon.


Speaking of losing to pussies, a random gun in Reed's closet was destroying bloodlusted Rogue Celestials. The "Godkiller" armor from some unknown and never again seen race destroyed thousands (millions?) of Celestials. Magneto was manipulating Tiamut's body and Tiamut either wouldn't or couldn't stop him.

There's probably more but you get my point.

They are some of the most powerful beings in the universe.But at the same time I can never consider them as having the same status they had years ago.Like zopsop said it started when Sue Richards Killed Exitar,and after that Franklin Richards(adult version)and Galactus tag team(with some help)and kill the 4 mad Celestials.Things like that would have never happened 20 years ago!

Believe it or not, that was actually a GOOD showing for the Celestials.

It took a 4 planet amped Galactus, Sol's Anvil, Adult Franklin, AND Child Franklin's power to put them down.

And considering that all Celestials in the multiverse are essentially canon now, we also have those 5 Celestials featured in the What If: Secret Wars issue stalemating Doom /w/ Beyonder's power + the IG for over 400 years... Can't say much about Beyonder's power(because it is occasionally written laughably low in some alternate universes), but every IG still makes its user 'God' within its native reality... So a handful of Celestials stalemating a Gauntlet for several hundred years --to the point that the gems were completely depleted afterward, and shattered-- is actually quite an amazing feat for the Celestials... Maybe even their *best* feat. /shrug

And 3 of them took down the real full Living Tribunal. I don't get how you think this is a low showing on their part. Fact is, out of every abstract they ran through, only Eson managed to damage one on panel.

Good for any Skyfather. Exitar killed the entire planet coming at him at once before they changed time.
Name a skyfather that it would take the power of every being on Earth times two to stop them from descending.
Exitar wasn't throwing a punch or stomping his feet, he was simply descending from levitation. Zeus alone was having trouble with the Avengers to a degree and that's an actual fight. Pretty much every other Skyfather level being besides Odin and Zeus got beat by Thor. Now imagine it took every single hero on Earth to simply halt a Skyfather from moving slowly downwards. Then times that by two.
Rogue had every power in the book stacked on top of each other, based on showings she would have annihilated Zeus.
But that's a story for another day.

Yea. And that was left over energy from Tiamut's head that Sinister didn't even have anymore. It wasn't even close to his full power. And it was splitting its power across thousands of things and still had the power to beat each P5 user. Who had the power to effortlessly destroy heralds.
Of course the full Force should overcome that, but the fact that random bits of shards of Tiamut's power can beat a 5th of the Force isn't looking too great.

Maybe, maybe not. But considering the only thing a tiny artifact like that has done is beat up Thanos isn't exactly backing up the case for it being pis.

That he would never use. And it has nothing to do with Odin's power being near their own either. It's a straight up plot device.
Arguing he would use it is like saying Thor could recreate the same weapon in the heat of battle.

A random gun that worked better than the Ultimate Nullifier in the same showing? What a weak gun that it does more damage than the UN in the same page. Yes, the universal entropy gun sounds like a real street level weapon too.

The Godkiller is a pussy? And yeah it was seen again, the whole point of the arc was that it was really ****ing powerful and way too dangerous to be in the universe. The fact that it got beaten by them apparently too doesn't register.
It literally got ported out of the universe because it was way too dangerous.

You didn't even read that story either. Tiamut was falling apart because his head was missing and Magneto acted like a central nervous system to hold it back together so the shards of its body didn't continue one shotting X-Men. Tiamut wasn't even alive for lack of a better term either. For any of that.

Also the fact that the only real legitimate concerns are written by Remender and Gillen don't matter either.

True. They've been getting great feats for years. They just aren't dealing with Eternals and Skyfathers anymore. IG level threats more like it and we saw how that went before they started getting written by Gillen.

The IG fluctarates in power. While it's true that in one reality Doom with the IG spend 400 years defeating 5 Celestials (I thought it was the race but nvm), a member of the Council of Reeds oneshot 4 Celestials instantly, so I don't think the power of the IG's recently has been reduced.

Galan007
All Celestials are not created equal--some are obviously far more powerful than others(Scathan is a prime example of this.) That said, the 5 Celestials who stalemated Doom /w/ Beyonder+IG in that What If were obviously some of the race's elitists.

Do you happen to have the scan at hand? I could have sworn it was implied by Doom that he ended their entire race in that universe.

Galan007
^ We saw Doom fighting the same 5 Celestials the entire issue. When the fight concluded, we see the remains of those same 5 Celestials floating in space, and Doom merely says: "The Celestials are no more."

Here is the entire Doom/Celestials sequence that we were shown:

I just don`t by that the Gauntlet in that universe,is anywhere near the power of the one in the 616 universe.That was the strongest Celestial the One Above All,and Ziran who is another high level Celestial.And I don`t think the overrated Scathan has been seen for about 18 years or so,one writers opinion from so long ago who does not even exist in Marvels 616.Is more powerful than the Celestial O.A.A,I think not.

What you 'buy' is irrelevant. It has been well-established by Hickman(and others) that all IGs in current continuity are equal in the sense that they all make you 'God' within a single universe.

Your Celestials analogy(or w/e that is) is just silly.

How did Thanos in the 616 main universe beat the head of all the Celestials,O.A.A,Ziran the tester,eternity himself,death,galactus,mephisto,the stranger,love and hate,kronos,and eon with ease.Yet it takes Doom 400 years to beat 5 celestials.Sure sounds like the 616 Gauntlet is more powerful!

Yup. That's how I always saw it too. Doom stated "They do not stop coming" and after 400 years "the Celestials are no more." I always assumed the writer meant to imply that Doom took on the entire Celestial race in that universe wave after wave until they all died.

The LT is/was above the Classic IG.

People like Protege, Scathan, the Beyonders, the HotU, etc.. would show any IG wielder who "God" really is. Hell, in one alternate universe Anomaly Maelstrom was stalemating Thanos with the IG.

zom1967
That`s not exactly true either,if you remember.Warlock in the 616 universe was ready to face the Tribunal.And he said is that the kind of god you are,you are ready to destroy all reality if we battle?and I think Warlock says no I am the kind of god who sees the future and is held prisoner by it.The Tribunal says then you submit to the judgement.And Adam says as we both always new i would(because they could both see the future).So Adam in the 616 universe was close to the Tribunal in power that he feared for the universe.

zom1967
Boy this really makes me right,Doom had the Beyonder`s power on top of the gauntlet.and it still took him 400 years to win!what a complete joke.I don`t care if their where a billion celestials.They get smoked in a minute by both combined.Oh Brother are you all 10 year olds!

Yeah, he wasn't too bad in Annihilation or the Galactus Seed. Except I still like to see him as the "ultimate cosmic," and I never really liked that Mjolnir could hurt him. I also think the less he shows up on the Marvel stage, the greater his Awe Factor.

I think they let thor`s hammer damage big G`s armor,for a dramatic effect.but he always instantly repairs it,The Magus with the power of 5 c.c destroyed Galactus,the Surfer,nova,and Strange.But he still reformed his ship and all of them.So his power over matter is quite impressive.

zom1967
Ok I read the story about doom with the Beyonders power and the Infinity gauntlet.And these people who said he beat the whole Celestial race not just 5 of them are right!But it changes nothing as far as I am concerned,he beat billions of them in 400 years not 5.Actually it should have taken 5 minutes,but I have to go with the writer.still a very impressive feat.Pym even said why did they not kill us off along time ago(the Ivory Kings)he said it takes a long time to kill a near infinite amount of gods!

Lies!?

Chill the f**k out...

That is my interpretation of that fight and I'm not the only one who came to the same conclusion...

Doom clearly says "they keep coming"...

The implication is that he faced wave after wave of Celestials and after 400 years, "the Celestials are no more"...

To me this seems to indicate that the Celestial race is no more, as in Dooms destroyed their entire race...

To me this seems to indicate that the Celestial race is no more, as in Dooms destroyed their entire race... As made clear by the fact that Doom was shown fighting the SAME 5 Celestials the entire issue: "they keep coming" is simply in reference to those SAME 5 Celestials still continuing to fight. If he was intended to have fought the entire race of Celestials, we would have undoubtedly been shown more than the SAME 5, and would have undoubtedly been given an explicit statement to that effect.

So yeah, nothing indicates that he wiped out the entire race in that 400+ years. That might be your opinion, but I couldn't disagree more. It is entirely unsupported, IMO. smile

Do people not realize that even if it were the entire race then that would mean that the race consisted of just those 5 in that reality?

It's not conflicting at all. I don't even get how them keeping up with their coming up means that more Celestials showed up either. There's conflicting wordplay with comics lots of times. Not this time.

Can't say much about Beyonder's power(because it is occasionally written laughably low in some alternate universes), but every IG still makes its user 'God' within its native reality... So a handful of Celestials stalemating a Gauntlet for several hundred years --to the point that the gems were completely depleted afterward, and shattered-- is actually quite an amazing feat for the Celestials... Maybe even their *best* feat. /shrug I don't think What ifs are usuable even if they are canon. The same goes with JL vs. Avengers.

Theres nothing petty about it...

Its called recognizing the massive Asgardian wank Marvel tries to mask as good writing...

Dont forget the events in Thor 300; Odin and Zeus didnt even know the Celestials were present until Gaia alerted Odin to the Aliens on Earth...

Odin, Zeus, and Vishnu then go to confront Arishem (who wont even directly speak with them as its beneath him to do so) and prove to be horribly underpowered compared to Arishem...

They even got on their knees and vowed to stay out of Celestial business because Arishem threatened to lock them out of their realms and the Skyfathers couldnt do a dam thing about it...

Now all of a sudden Marvel wants us to buy that Odin has a spell that could have wrecked Arishem all along!?

Its BS writing...

You are pro Odin/Asgard/Thor ODG so maybe you cant see the horrible Asgardian wankery at play here, but many of us can...

Odin having a Celestial killing spell is Asgardian wank at its finest...

i tend to agree. without actually SEEING the ramifications of the spell, it's all just hearsay and no substance. i could stomach it if say, it required so much power that a bunch of asgardians died because it required their life forces or something. but it seems very much pis...

as regards the thread in general though--i disagree with the general premise. comics have evolved, the writing has evolved, the characters have evolved and the readers have evolved. the celestials still get their respect. they may not be the enigma they used to be, but we know more about the multiverse than ever and the threats out there are greater than they have ever been. odin was once at the top of the food chain before galactus. things change. so long as they are kept relevant and powerful, i have no problem with their recent depiction.

In that same what if, Doom said that he was the mightiest being in this or any universe (just like in the original SW). If he was intended to be weak, i don't think that the writer would have included that statement. Plus, the existence of battleworld establishes the alt. Beyonder as being capable of destroying a galaxy.

Mr Master
Hey there yall! ... Galan is right, "What Ifs' are actual alternate realities in the multiverse, this is: Earth-90251,
and for the most part, they're really a depiction of 616 cats without mainstream constrictions/stipulations hindering them.

But, there are many stories that present moments that make no sense.

This particular "What If" ... imo, is one of them.

Doom shouldn't have taken so long to beat 5 Celestials, especially when Bollers (writer) had Doom saying:



And that was just with Beyonder's power. Yet, 5 Celestials? ... no expression


*** It's not like these were "special" "unknown" Celestials like a 'Scathan' who came out of nowhere,
no,
these were the same run of the mill cats we seen since the mid-1970's:

Arishem-Ziran-Gammenon-Hargen-Tefral

I see no reason why these 616 copies are special, so Bollers failed imo.

--------------------------------------------------

A few other things that make ya go ... hm

Boller's IG can jump out of Earth-90251 into other realities like this Hell Dimension:



We know this a realm outside 90251 cause it would take an "inter-dimensional portal" for a normal person to get there:



--------------------------------------------------

Btw. Doom Beyonder-IG empowered couldn't perma-kill a Hell lord:

Anyway, at best your interpretation is merely just an opinion. Not a fact. It's clear by nearly everyone that doom destroyed the entire Celestial race in that universe. If not then the writer was most certainly misleading in his narrative as to why so many people believe in what I said. Strength is in numbers.

That's irrelevant to the fact that the comic stated that all of the Celestials are no more. Now you can argue that only 5 Celestials existed in that universe if you want but the writer's intentions are clear. Tbh, I'm not sure if those same exact Celestial designs were at the end.
