Eon is one of the fictional cosmic beings in Marvel Comics' universe. Eon's history stretches back into the universe's infancy, he is the offspring of Eternity and Infinity. Charged with protecting the Celestial Axis (the pattern of life energy threading through the universe), and Time, although it often chooses to observe our reality while removed in a dimension called 'The Mists of Time'. Eon's third function is nurturing the evolution of sentient life of the universe and to maintain conditions favorable to life in the universe. This led to Eon searching out and appointing a being to be his champion, the protector of life in the universe, anticipating and conquering major threats to life. The full details of these appointments, including criteria, line of succession, and past champions, have yet to be fully revealed. The first known champion, Glakandar, was appointed 5 billion years ago. At the same time, Eon also created the quantum-bands, weapons that would enable his champions to wield massive amounts of energy. In more recent times, Eon appointed Captain Mar-Vell of the alien race, Kree, to be his champion -- the only one to do so without the quantum-bands. Eon granted Mar-Vell "cosmic awareness" to better combat the champion of Death, Thanos. After Mar-Vell's death, Eon appointed Quasar as his champion, specifically to combat an unknown threat to Eon's self and the universe, who ended up being Maelstrom, who assumed the aspect of Anomaly.
