2. Arishem the Judge
First appearance: Eternals (2021)
Who is Arishem? Arishem is a Celestial who is said to have created the first sun of the universe millions of years ago, as well as the powerful Deviants and Eternals. Together with other Celestials, he created countless planets. He is a god-like being who also established the first laws in the universe.
The created planets contained Celestial seeds, through which new Celestials were to be born. However, the planets would be destroyed during such a birth. From Earth, Tiamut was supposed to be born, but the Eternals prevented that.
Arishem is an entity that not only created life in the universe but also is responsible for the birth of other Celestials. In the MCU, it is not shown that anything can harm him. The Eternals survived only because he accepted their decision to sacrifice Tiamut.
