History

Quote1 I once had an unceasing impulse to find life. But when I eventually did find it, it was all so... disappointing. That was until I realized my one true purpose. It wasn't to make myself walk and live among every living thing. It was to make everything that there is, into me... Quote2
Ego the Living Planet

Early Years

Ego the Living Planet (born Egros) was a Planetary Celestial, classified in the species Genius Loci, and a former Elder of the Universe, a council of primordial and extremely powerful beings predating the universe. Ego is the estranged father of then Spartoi emperor J'son, and the grandfather of the legendary Star-Lord. He originally appeared to be a caring and wise father with a cocky personality, similar to his own son and grandson. However, it is later revealed that he is a ruthless entity with a god complex who wishes to conquer the universe through an omnicidal extinction-level plan known as the Expansion, which would have terraformed all other planets via alien seedlings into extensions of himself.

A Million Years War

Throughout his million of years in life searching for immortality by trying to conquer the universe, Ego had several countless encounters and rivalries with individuals and groups across the whole universe who attempted to interrupt or even cease his plans, either by accident or for intentional reasons. Several of those individuals were the Ravagers, Nova Corps, Asgardians, Kree, Eternals, Skrulls, Inhumans, even his fellow Celestials and Elders, and a hundred billion more extraterrestrial species and cosmic beings in the entire universe that flourished and/or perished, since the dawn of the age of the universe that he had rivaled against for almost an eternity.

Ego had the plan of conquering the universe by devouring planets and presumably even dwarf stars across the cosmos but was eventually defeated after his rivals became more and more prepared against his attempted invasions overtime. He even once rivaled the mighty Galactus for a short time while trying to devour a solar system when humanity on Earth was still in the Paleolithic period, but Ego was almost devoured himself in the process, causing him to stop challenging the World Devourer, and he kept his distance from him ever since as he went on with his travel with billions more galaxies in the universe.

Intergalactic Conquest

He eventually manages to escape wars with other beings for a long while by deciding to create an humanoid avatar, which was an extension of his consciousness, to explore the galaxy and dwell among other galactic civilizations, as well as learn about these civilizations and proceed with his new plans of the Expansion in the guise of his humanoid form. He would also impregnate women across the universe to achieve a child with the Celestial gene, as the Expansion required two Celestials for the function to flourish, and hired the Ravagers, led by Yondu Udonta, to collect his children for him.

However, things have changed for the first time when Ego fell in love with Kassia of Sparta, whom Ego was initially unaware was a runaway princess of the Spartax Empire. As their romantic relationship would bloom, Ego and Kassia had their child who would eventually be named J'son, despite the fact that Kassia was thought to be barren all her life, a significant factor which led to her leaving her life in the palace. Together, they considered living a normal life away from royal and political affairs of the Spartax Empire. However, because of this thought, Ego realized that he was genuinely infatuated with Kassia and that his feelings for her could put him off the tracks on conquering the universe. Because of his distraction to Kassia, Ego secretly called upon the runaway princess' family and snitched on her, before leaving Sparta.

J'son, The Living Planet

Decades later, when Ego heard of a tale involving a man from Sparta who demonstrated Celestial-like powers during the height of the short-lived Spartax-Badoon War, he realized this man must have been the son he sired with Kassia. Learning of his son's presence on Earth, Ego took advantage over the conflict's state of affairs and recruited a group of Badoon bandits to abduct J'son after Yondu and his Ravager clan ended their deal with him out of guilt and conscience as well as their newfound comradery with J'son, which Ego couldn't take the risk of being suspected by his former allies. The Badoons' attack on the Quill residence resulted in Meredith getting fatally shot after searching for J'son, who was nowhere to be found. In the same year since searching for J'son, Ego was confronted by his own son who eventually knew the truth about his nature and grim intentions.

Easily besting him in combat due to being the prime of his power in-planet, Ego would be disappointed to discover that J'son didn't seem to have enough of the special genes that grants the planetary-wide power which could help him with the Expansion. Not rendering his powerless son to be entirely useless, Ego decided to masquerade as J'son, the ruler of the planet Spartax, "borrowing" the name from his own son, tremendously torturing and secretly keeping the real J'son as his prisoner on Ego's planet. In the process, Ego was able to accelerate his Expansion within the next five years as J'son, letting himself off the grid from intergalactic authorities which saw Ego's universal threat for centuries. Ego, momentarily posing as the Emperor of Spartax, would eventually decide to leave his throne, giving it to a council of bureaucrats that the original J'son had never trusted due to their greed. This made the Spartoi Empire eventually crumble to the ground, and its system entirely burned down into social anarchy since J'son's absence. Overtime, J'son's anger towards Ego grew worse and worse, to the point where he vowed on destroying his own father in the most brutal way possible for ruining his life and loved ones.

The Prodigal Grandson

In between Meredith Quill's death and the Quest for the Orb, Ego raised and took up a new protégé named Mantis by the early 1990s, and the two resided on Ego's planetary form. Years later, following the Battle of Xandar, Ego and his ward Mantis came across the cosmic heroes known by many as the Guardians of the Galaxy and was reunited with his Terran grandson, Peter Quill, who was J'son's long lost son. Once Ego learned that Quill just happened to be the first of his endless count of descendance to inherit his own genes, Ego revealed his true name and identity to Peter, albeit he had to tweak the lie that they were directly father and son as Ego was taking on J'son's form, and started the Expansion with a hypnotized Quill.

Battling the Guardians

However, his grandson managed to snap out of Ego's influence after finding out that his true identity, and the fact that Ego was responsible for killing his mother Meredith, and finally Ego's victory was seized by the Guardians of the Galaxy, with the help of their newest teammates Mantis, Yondu, and Nebula, with the remaining fleet of the Ravagers. In the end, Ego was ultimately destroyed at their hand, ending his chaotic and destructive schemes once and for all. Even before Ego's core collapsed, the real J'son managed to escape the planet using his own helmet and jet boots, and was finally justified after his long-time enemy had perished.

Attempted Recovery

Galactus Eats Ego Earth-61615

The surviving remnants of Ego being devoured by Galactus, finally ending his cosmic reign and Expansion

Moments after the Guardians have seemingly defeated Ego, a small fragment of his core somehow manages to survive his planet's incursion and to started terraforming once again and vowed to destroy the Guardians when he finds them ever again, especially to his son, whom he vowed that he'll be coming for him when the time comes. Unexpectedly out of nowhere, a large cosmic mysterious figure suddenly and immediately lunges behind Ego, revealing to be Galactus himself, who discovers Ego's coordinates.

Ego tried his best and used his strongest powers to defend himself, but he was easily outmatched and was punched by Galactus' enlarged fist, plummeting through to the other side of the planet to the point where Galactus now held Ego's new core. Ego seemed to have finally died after his core was separated from his planet, but he suddenly woke up once more and used all of his tentacles and planetary vines to pull the core and Galactus' arm back into the planet, claiming that Ego will take Galactus with him as his own.

Galactus struggled to pull his arm free, using all his strength and might against the Living Planet and finally squished Ego's core, killing him one last time. All of his core's essence was splattered and scattered into smaller pieces before all of it was converted into consumable energy, and was absorbed into Galactus' cosmic appetite. He was finally devoured by one of his own fears for millions of years, destroying him for the final time and this time, ensuring that his return would be uncertain. However, while Peter Quill would seemingly know Ego as his father in the following years after the Celestial's death, it was the chaotic and confusing events of the event only termed by Deadpool as the "Retconning" had unveiled Quill the truth that he was merely the grandson of Ego who was granted through his father J'son the Celestial genes by a one in a million chance.


Powers and Abilities

Powers

Planetary Celestial Physiology: Ego is a Celestial being with vast supernatural and cosmic powers, capable of manipulating matter and energy to create avatars and a planetary shell around his one vulnerability; his core. The living planet Ego has been called a "bioverse." Every part of its substance, including its atmosphere, is "alive" inasmuch as it is animated and controlled by the consciousness of Ego. Just as an Earth organism creates one-celled antibodies to attack foreign substances in its bloodstream, Ego creates humanoid sized anti-body like beings from itself to attack intruders on or beneath its surface. In its encounters with humanoids, Ego has caused the "antibodies" to take semi humanoid form.
