The 5th Host ... defeat and contain,
one of the most powerful entities ever to exist in Marvel,
the Goblin Force.
The Goblin Force literally "devoured"
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.

Uatu speaks,

"We are the Watchers,
we observe,
we Know that which the Goblin Entity is capable of,
We were there,
at the Birth of the Universe,
and witnessed the Goblin Entity begin,
watched as the blight of the Goblin Entity spread across the ever expanding Universe,
and threat Creation itself"
................................................................................................
"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.
