History

Celestial War

Ziran was one of the Celestials who rebelled against the Aspirants and First Firmament. They shattered the First Cosmos into the Second Cosmos, the first Multiverse, and later created the Omegas as servitors.

The Celestials were split across the Multiverse. Their counterparts are interconnected aspects of themselves and not separate beings. Thus, the Ziran of Earth-616 is one aspect of the true Ziran.

Knull

Following many multiversal cycles, Ziran and the other Celestials began the creation of the Seventh Cosmos and attempted to recruit Knull, a primordial god of darkness who ruled over the Void that had been formed by the Sixth Cosmos' destruction, to be their King in Black, but he rejected the responsibility. When Knull killed one of Ziran's comrades, the Celestials retaliated by banishing Knull back into the void, though he eventually returned to wage war on them.

Earth-616

A Celestial that tests the stability of genes and such in the lifeforms they have evolved. He sends them through a series of tests until they are ready to go back to the planet to start their new lives.

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-8101

Ziran the Tester was one of the Celestials who visited Earth-8101.

Earth-9997

Ziran 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, Ziran 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, Ziran 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 Ziran was one of the Celestials felled in the battle.

Earth-17628

Ziran the Tester was one of the Celestials who attempted to bring light to the universe but found themselves up against Knull. They were defeated after Knull created the Klyntar to be used against them. It is unknown if Ziran was killed or was one of the few who survived and fled to the farthest reaches of space.

Earth-21443

Ziran the Tester and other Celestials were briefly seen millions of years in the past, during the time of the Dinosaurs by Kang the Conqueror when he was travelling through the time stream looking for Black Panther.

Earth-89721

Ziran the Tester 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-90251

Ziran and all of the Celestials were killed by Doctor Doom in a battle that lasted 407 years, after Doom gained the power of the Beyonder and the Infinity Gauntlet.

Earth-90266

Ziran, along with many Abstract Entities, tried to stop Thanos after he activated the Infinity Gauntlet. Ziran's armor was later piloted by Iron Man to fight Thanos, while using it to channel the power Negative Zone. After Thanos was defeated by the New Fantastic Four and Spider-Man acquired the Infinity Gauntlet, all of those killed by Thanos (save Mephisto), were resurrected, including Ziran.

Earth-95397

Ziran was one of the many Cosmic Beings who assembled to reclaim the Infinity Gauntlet from the Impossible Man.
