Aspirants (Marvel Comics)

==Summary==
The Aspirants are the celestial beings created by The First Firmament to appease his loneliness. They were industrious in their worship of him and sought his approval whenever they created life on their own. Unlike their dark counterparts, the multicolored Celestials wanted their creations to evolve and for the universe to evolve with them, and thus know growth, change, and mortality. This divergence of ideas ushered in a Celestial War for the dominion of all existence. They fought against the rebellious Celestials and created the Godkiller Armor to turn the tide of the battle and annihilate the Celestials. The Godkiller was later stripped of some of its components to provide key elements for the Aspirants' fleets, which entered a civil war. This internal conflict gave the Celestials time to recover and eventually crush the Aspirants.
They ultimately lost and the First Firmament was shattered into the very first Multiverse. Although greatly weakened, the First Firmament and some of the Aspirants survived the war. After several multiversal renewal cycles, the First Firmament returned to reclaim its position as all that exists. The Aspirants invaded the Multiverse and corrupted its inner workings, but they were defeated once again during the second conflict.
