==Summary== 
Seth, also commonly referred to as Set, is a primordial god and villain from Marvel Comics, first appearing in Thor #240.
He is a member of the Ennead, the Heliopolitan race of gods that were worshipped by the people of Ancient Egypt. He is the God of Death and rules over Duat, the dimension of death, and had gained substantial worship in Egypt around 8,000 BC by pretending to be the Elder God Set and stealing his followers, and has since been at odds with many of his fellow deities due to his obsession with destroying all life across the multiverse.
His true form is a spirit that exists outside of time and space, and helps maintain balance in the multiverse primarily by keeping another being known as the Wyrm at bay.
