Shi'ar/Alternate Realities

The Shi'ar are present in many realities, with more or less important variations in their history, appearances, and biology.

The death of Charles Xavier in this reality would have far reaching consequences to the Shi'ar empire.

His only opposition would come from the Starjammers who were led by earthman Christopher Summers until he was infected with a Brood embryo and would return to Earth. He would be succeeded by Deathbird. When the X-Ternals came to the Shi'ar galaxy to obtain a shard of the M'kraan Crystal they would clash with the Imperial Guard on number of times. In the aftermath of the battle, most of the Imperial Guard would be caught in a crystallization wave created by the Crystal and D'Ken would be rendered inert in attempting to seize its power.
