Glossary:Ninth Cosmos

Ninth Cosmos

The Ninth Cosmos is the denomination given to the Multiverse following the end of the Eighth Cosmos. It is a future Multiverse that does not exist yet. In one possible rendition of it, an alternate Hulk possessed by the One Below All passed on from the Eighth to the Ninth Cosmos upon killing the Sentience of the Universe. As the Breaker-Apart, this Hulk destroyed all life in this cosmos with one refugee, a modified Tiding-fly retreating into the former cosmos. However, this was not supposed to happen.

Franklin Richards at the end of time, the transition from the Eighth Cosmos to the Ninth Cosmos

Franklin Richards, like Galan of Taa and Moridun before him, is the actual person destined to pass on from the Eighth Cosmos to the Ninth as its Galactus-like being. Mister Immortal supposedly has the same destiny, although the One Below All clarifies that he is the contingency plan in case Franklin irrevocably dies.

The Anti-All's rampage

In another possible rendition of it, the Eventuality shows what could come to pass if Eddie Brock were to reunite with the Venom symbiote. Emulating Knull and taking up the mantle of the Anti-All, Eddie rampages across the universe leading a horde of insectoid symbiotes similar to Symbiote Dragons in order to find and test a worthy successor to the role of the King in Black, declaring his intent to destroy the Ninth Cosmos should none arise.

Inhabitants

• Unnamed alien race
  • Par%l
  • Farys
  • D%nel
• A Devourer of Worlds; a survivor from the Eighth Cosmos, possibly one of the following:
  • Franklin Richards (the "appointed prince")
  • Mister Immortal (Franklin's backup)
  • Breaker-Apart (in a possible, averted future)
• Tiding-flies
• Anti-All
  • Anti-All is from the Eighth Cosmos. Formerly the King in Black of the previous cosmos, he passed on to the Ninth Cosmos to pass on his title.

Notes

• Although individual universes within the Seventh/Eighth Cosmos have perished and returned, these instances do not change the cosmos numbering because the Multiverse is the same. In a multiversal renewal cycle, the personification of the Multiverse (currently Eternity/Infinity) dies and is replaced by a brand new being, and the new Multiverse will be different from the previous one. (Seventh to Eighth is an exception, but it still counts because the Multiverse was destroyed.)
