Order. Chaos. Eternity. Infinity. The In-Betweener. They're abstractions. Concepts manifesting themselves as entities.
Abstract entities are conceptual cosmic beings that do not have physical form. They manifest through "M-Bodies" provided from the Dimension of Manifestations.[2]
Miscellaneous
Type of Government
There is a hierarchy. At the top is the Living Tribunal, who serves the One Above All. Below them are the "four pillars of reality": Eternity, Infinity, Death, and Oblivion.[11] After the original Living Tribunal died, Eternity and Infinity temporarily took charge until the new Living Tribunal appeared.[12][13]
Representatives
The Living Tribunal, Eternity, Infinity, Death, Oblivion, Master Order, Lord Chaos, the In-Betweener, Mistress Love, Sire Hate, the Phoenix Force, and many others.
Notes
- Eternity, Infinity, Death, and Oblivion are the strongest abstract entities, aside from the Living Tribunal, and they are considered "the four points of the cosmological compass" by Quasar.[14]
- It is later referenced that the "universal axis of power" possesses eight points in total, but what the other four abstract entities are has yet to be elaborated on.[15]
- The term "abstract entity" is sometimes used interchangeably with "cosmic entity." Galactus, Celestials, Aspirants, and even the Proemial Gods have all been called abstracts.[5][16][17][10]
- As clarified in Quasar #37, Galactus, Celestials, the Stranger, Watchers, etc. are not actually abstract entities, but they can manifest M-Bodies in the same fashion as abstracts.
- Regardless, these beings share similar stature to abstracts and are frequently grouped together.
