Ubiquitor (Galactic Guardian's foe)

UBIQUITOR

Real Name: Unknown; Possibly inapplicable

Identity/Class: Extra-temporal (Earth-691) extra-dimensional being (Absolute)

Occupation: World/dimension smasher

Group Membership: The Absolutes

Affiliations: Her emissaries;

Enemies: The Galactic Guardians; Everyone else in the universe, basically

Known Relatives: None

Aliases: None

Base of Operations: Mobile throughout the universe, Earth-691 @ 31st Century

First Appearance: Galactic Guardians#3 (September, 1994)

Powers/Abilities: According to herself, she was omnipotent and omnipresent, meaning she sees all and knows all. She was shown to be able to teleport great distances and shoot energy blasts so powerful they could destroy entire planets. She also could grow or shrink to her will.

History: (bts) - Ubiquitor was a member of an ancient race that called itself the Absolutes. Eventually they became so evolved that most of them ventured into higher planes of existence. Ubiquitor liked the whole dimension/universe smashing thing so much, she decided to stick around.

(bts-Galactic Guardians#1-2) - Ubiquitor sent her emissaries, Ganglia, Hazmat, Savant and Silverback, to destroy the Galactic Guardians one at a time.

(Galactic Guardians#3) - Her plan proving unsuccessful, Ubiquitor regrouped with the mercenaries, and made her presence known in the Galactic Guardians' base on the planet Klatuu.

(Galactic Guardians#4) - Sending her minions to attack the Guardians, Ubiquitor teleported herself and Giraud, the Phoenix of that timeline, far away. She asked for him to become one with her, as together they could become truely Absolute. With a showing of his powers, Giraud turned her down, and they began to battle. Ubiquitor was overpowering the Phoenix, when Woden, Thor's son, came into the battle. Combining Mjolnir and the power of the Phoenix, they were able to destroy Ubiquitor, ending her threat.

Comments: Created by Michael Gallagher and Kevin West

Many things about Ubiquitor could lead you to believe that she is somehow linked to either Galactus and the Sentinels. The males of her race bearing a slight resemblance to the Celestials, and her ability to increase to great sizes are just the superficial. The Absolutes were said to be around trillions of years before our system was created. This could possibly reach beyond the creation of our universe. Their desire to build as well as destroy also is reminiscent of the Celestials, who have both a host to build and destroy. Her use of emissaries taken from the planets/galaxies/dimensions she had destroyed also is similar to tactics Galactus and the Celestials have used in the past (Though both of them seem to spare the planets when shown their shining examples)

This could lead you (and has led me) to speculate at least 4 things...

1. The Absolutes were descendents of the Celestials, and that the ones who had "moved on to higher planes" are, in fact, now Celestials. The lack of obviously female Celestials makes me question this, however. If this is the true background, I would assume Ubiquitor's bloodlust was rare for her race, as the Celestials are more willing to tinker with planets for millenia to reach their goals, while Ubiquitor was more of a smashy-smashy type.
2. Galactus was a member of the Absolute race, but due to his amnesia, he has no memory of his people and much of his true power. This one I personally discount immediately. Far more likely that they just shared a love of really strange looking clunky armor and the use of heralds to do their dirty work.
3. Ubiquitor is CU~RAZY and was just far outstating her powers and her race's lineage. This, to me, seems most likely.
4. OR Ubiquitor was simply created as a really cool alien chick from WAY long ago who was really powerful and stuff.

Which of these is right? Any of them? Considering about 13 people bought the Galactic Guardians LS, and fewer remember it, along with Marvel's amnesia over the Guardians of the Galaxy timeline, it probably doesn't matter.

So an omnipotent, omnipresent being who walks between dimensions like we walk to the fridge and MAY share a history with the Celestials died after a simple battle like that? If there was ever any interest, it wouldn't be a huge leap to bring her back.

CLARIFICATIONS:

Ubiquitor has no known connection to:

anybody else with a similar name

The Absolutes are a group of ancient, omnipresent beings. They were known to often create and/or destroy galaxies at their desire. They could also pass through dimensions without any trouble. Many of them have moved on to a higher plane of existence, although, as evident by Ubiquitor's presence in Earth-Guardians, some stayed behind.
