Question: Who was the first Elder to appear in Elders of the Universe?
Context: Mano or Pagmamano is a gesture used in Filipino culture performed as a sign of respect to elders and as a way of accepting a blessing from the elder.  Similar to hand-kissing, the person giving the greeting bows towards the offered hand of the elder and presses his or her forehead on the elder's hand.  Usually performed with the right hand, the person showing respect may ask "Mano po" to the elder in order to ask permission to initiate the gesture.  Typically someone may "mano" to his or her older relatives upon entry into their home or upon seeing them. Abraham de Revier, Sr. was the first elder of the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow in Sleepy Hollow, New York when it was organized in 1697. The Sudanese goat marriage incident was a 2006 event and publicity surrounding the 2006 event in which a South Sudanese man named Charles Tombe was forced to "marry" a goat with which he was caught engaging in sexual activity (bestiality) in the Hai Malakal suburb of Juba, South Sudan.  The owner of the goat subdued the perpetrator and asked village elders to consider the matter.  One elder noted that he and the other elders found the perpetrator, tied up by the owner, at the door of the goat shed.  The goat's owner reported that, "They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife."  The perpetrator was thus ordered to "marry" the goat, pay the cost of the goat and pay a dowry of 15,000 dinar (equating to US$50 in 2006, the GDP per capita was US$1,522 for 2008), with half of the dowry up front.  The goat apparently acquired the name "Rose" during the elders' deliberations as part of a joke. The Elders of the Universe are a fictional group of supervillains appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.  The Collector was the first Elder to appear, and featured in "Avengers" #28 (May 1966), but the idea that he was a member of a group known as the Elders was not introduced until "Avengers" #174 (August 1978).  The character was created by Roy Thomas and Sal Buscema. An elder in Christianity is a person who is valued for wisdom and holds a position of responsibility in a Christian group.  In some Christian traditions (e.g., Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, Anglicanism, Methodism) an "elder" is an ordained person who usually serves a local church or churches and who has been ordained to a ministry of word, sacrament and order, filling the preaching and pastoral offices.  In other Christian traditions (e.g., Presbyterianism, Baptists, Plymouth Brethren), an elder may be a lay person charged with serving as an administrator in a local , or be ordained to such an office, also serving in the preaching (in this case referring to teaching done during church gatherings) and/or pastoral roles.  There is technically a distinction between the idea of ordained elders and lay elders, often the two concepts are conflated in everyday conversation (for example, a lay elder in the Baptist tradition may still be referred to as being "clergy", especially in America).  Particularly in reference to age and experience, elders exist throughout world cultures, and the Christian sense of elder is partially related to this. Methodist views on the ordination of women in the rite of holy orders are diverse.  Some Methodist denominations practice the ordination of women, such as in the United Methodist Church (UMC), in which the ordination of women has occurred since its creation in 1968, as well as in the Free Methodist Church (FMC), which ordained its first woman elder in 1911, in the Methodist Church of Great Britain, which ordained its first female deacon in 1890 and ordained its first female elders (that is, presbyters) in 1974, and in the Bible Methodist Connection of Churches.  Other Methodist denominations do not ordain women, such as the Southern Methodist Church (SMC), Evangelical Methodist Church of America, Fundamental Methodist Conference, and Primitive Methodist Church (PMC), the latter of which does not does not ordain women as elders nor does it license them as pastors or local preachers; the PMC does, however, consecrate women as deaconesses.  Independent Methodist parishes that are registered with the Association of Independent Methodists do not permit the ordination of women to holy orders. A starets (Russian: стáрец ; ] ; fem.  стáрица ) is an elder of a Russian Orthodox monastery who functions as venerated adviser and teacher.  "Elders" or "spiritual fathers" are charismatic spiritual leaders whose wisdom stems from God as obtained from ascetic experience.  It is believed that through ascetic struggle, prayer and Hesychasm (seclusion or withdrawal), the Holy Spirit bestows special gifts onto the elder including the ability to heal, prophesy, and most importantly, give effective spiritual guidance and direction.  Elders are looked upon as being an inspiration to believers and an example of saintly virtue, steadfast faith, and spiritual peace. Presbyterian (or presbyteral) polity is a method of church governance ("ecclesiastical polity") typified by the rule of assemblies of presbyters, or elders.  Each local church is governed by a body of elected elders usually called the session or "consistory", though other terms, such as "church board", may apply.  Groups of local churches are governed by a higher assembly of elders known as the presbytery or classis; presbyteries can be grouped into a synod, and presbyteries and synods nationwide often join together in a general assembly.  Responsibility for conduct of church services is reserved to an ordained minister or pastor known as a "teaching elder", or a "minister of the word and sacrament." The Collector (Taneleer Tivan) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.  Debuting in the Silver Age of Comic Books, the character has been featured in nearly five decades of Marvel continuity. In the Latter Day Saint movement, the President of the Church is generally considered to be the highest office of the church.  It was the office held by Joseph Smith, founder of the movement, and the office assumed by many of Smith's claimed successors, such as Brigham Young, Joseph Smith III, Sidney Rigdon, and James Strang.  Several other titles have been associated with this office, including First Elder of the church, Presiding High Priest, President of the High Priesthood, Trustee-in-Trust for the church, Prophet, Seer, Revelator, and Translator.  Joseph Smith was known by all of these titles in his lifetime (although not necessarily with consistency).
