History

Hargen is a Celestial who may or may not have originated during the time of the First Cosmos; however, what is known is that Celestials' counterparts across the Multiverse are interconnected aspects of themselves and not separate beings. Thus, the Hargen of Earth-616 is one aspect of the true Hargen.

Earth-616

Hargen is one of the Celestials that measures. The true nature of his job has never been defined. During the Fourth Celestial Host, he examined the Swiss Alps.

Multiverse

 Unlike you and me, who have separate aspects in each universe, the Celestials exist as aspects of one being linked across the Multiverse simultaneously. 

—Dark Beast

The Celestials exist across the Multiverse simultaneously. A Celestial's alternate reality selves are actually aspects of the same being. Despite this, their alternate aspects may have very different histories from the ones in the mainstream Marvel Universe.

Earth-9997

Hargen is a member of the Celestial race. Having long since evolved past physical bodies, the Celestials reproduced by impregnating a planet with their essence, which in time would gestate into an infant Celestial. To protect the growing fetus, they would genetically modify the people of said world, greatly enhancing their evolutionary potential and imbuing them with a certain level of aggressiveness. One of these impregnated planets was Earth. After the populace of Earth fully mutated prematurely, Hargen and other Celestials travelled to the world to purge it of all life before they could threaten the infant Celestial. They were met with opposition from Black Bolt on the Moon, Hargen and the Celestials would kill Black Bolt and then set their sights on Earth.

On Earth, they would be opposed by Namor and an army of sea creatures, Tony Stark in a giant robotic factor and an army of Iron Men robots, and an army of Asgardians led by Loki. This bought the Earth precious moments for the arrival of "Galactus" (actually Franklin Richards) who was called to Earth by Black Bolt before his death. Galactus was able to fight off the Celestials, and Hargen was one of the Celestials felled in the battle.

Earth-89721

Hargen the Measurer was one of the Celestials who came to Earth and judged humanity unworthy. The evolved humans joined their minds in one and killed Arishem the Judge, which prompted the other Celestials to leave Earth alone.

Earth-TRN237

Hargen came to Earth with the First Host to experiment on early humans.
