Other Versions
The characters also appear in the alternate universe limited series Earth X, appearing as beings of energy encased in armor composed of vibranium, a metal with properties that prevent their dissipation. They reproduce by planting a fragment of their essence in a planet, which matures into a new Celestial over the course of eons. The cosmic entity Galactus opposes them, devouring planets that incubate Celestial "eggs" to prevent the Celestials from overpopulating the universe. The Celestials also appeared in What If vol. 2, #1 (July 1989); What If? Newer Fantastic Four #1 (Feb. 2009) and What If: Secret Wars #1 (Jan. 2009).
