Except there really is just one Eternity. Just like there is just one Infinity, one Oblivion, one Death and one Living Tribunal.
@galan007: I understood what you were saying. But for it to make sense in continuity Eternity is the Multiverse. Because if there is more than one Eternity there would also be multiple Infinity's, Oblivions, and Deaths. Which really wouldn't make sense in the whole spec of things since it is stated there is only one Oblivion.

Is that really true? There are a handful of uniquely multiversal beings and I've never seen Infinity, Death, Oblivion or even Eternity mentioned among them.
I know the LT, Immortus, and believe it or not Rachel Summers are unique in the multiverse meaning there's only one of them period.
I always saw "Multi-Eternity" as merely a congress of Eternity and his infinite multiversal counterparts.

Oh you mean that.FFAnnual2001 stated that Earth-616 is the Prime Reality.I've always viewed that the word "Prime" means first or most important.But in this case, it seems to be both.Other Realitys actually came from Earth-616.Age of Apocalypse comes into mind when Watcher stated that AOA diverged in Reality-295.Meaning AOA was once Earth-616.So you could say Earth-616 created Earth-295.You can also include the What If's as well.
I always felt that Eternity/616 did encompass a large number of pocket dimensions, such as Asgard, Olympus, the realms of many demons, etc.
This always seemed a good explanation of why What if? stories and other comic storylines showed alternate reality "Dimensional Rulers" from outside the 616. Because other universes WERE other Eternities, along with their own pocket dimensions and sub-universes, etc.
But, each universe/Eternity was kind of a hub for one of these groupings. And, each grouping, part of the Multiverse. Each Multiverse, part of the Omniverse, etc.

Well there has to be only one Oblivion since he predates the Multiverse like the Phoenix Force does.
@horrificus: many of the "Dimensional Rulers" lie outside the multiverse in the omniverse. So they are outside of Eternity. Such as Shuma-Gorath in the Chaos Dimension or Dormammu in the Dark Dimension.

Actually I'm not completely sure about the Phoenix Force. Just that the Phoenix Force predates the Big Bang. But Oblivion claims to predate the multiverse and says he'll exist after it is gone.
Also kinda off topic. The conversations are much better on this website than on ComicVine. You guys are much more rational, open minded and easier to talk to.

This seemed to imply he was created when the universe came into being (along with Eternity/Death/Infinity) :

If they are, they could be incredibly old. Which would explain why they feel they have seniority in the pecking order of things.
