History
Klyntar[2] (the symbiote word for "cage"), also known informally as the Planet of the Symbiotes, is an artificial planet located in a remote sector of the Andromeda Galaxy.
When the symbiotes revolted against their creator, the dark god Knull, they constructed Klyntar to serve as his prison, sealing him away at its core.[3] It serves as the primary headquarters of the Agents of the Cosmos, an organization comprised of various species of aliens bonded to benevolent symbiotes and dedicated to maintaining order across the universe.[1]
At the beginning of the Kree-Skrull War, the Kree Empire discovered Klyntar and began harvesting symbiotes to use in a super-soldier program, with the only known success being Tel-Kar.[4] At some point, an alien poacher named Haze Mancer discovered Klyntar and began raiding it to abduct and weaponize symbiotes.[5]
The Guardians of the Galaxy were taken to Klyntar by the Venom symbiote, which had been reconnected to the Hive Mind and was being guided there so that it could be cleansed of its corruption.[1]
Klyntar was eventually raided by the Poisons with help from Haze Mancer, resulting in the destruction of the Agents of the Cosmos and the abduction of all the symbiotes, leaving the planet barren and uninhabited.[6] However, the time-displaced X-Men eventually returned the remaining Klyntar to their planet.[7]
