Ego the living planet (MCU)

"*I call it the "Expansion".*
 It is my purpose, and now it is yours as well. Over thousands of years I
 implanted thousands of extensions of myself on thousands of worlds. I
need to fulfill life's one true purpose, to grow and spread, covering
all that exists until everything is... me!"

―Ego to Star-Lord

### Attack Potency

D3 (Has full-control over his Moon-sized planet, being capable of warping its totality to put his face on it. Contains half the power necessary to provoke spontaneous growth on his sprouts across thousands of planets, quickly enveloping them with himself)

### Durability

At least G2 in Avatar (Took several shoots from Star-Lord's blasters and regenerated instantly. It took Yondu's large ship landing on his avatar to destroy it. Crashed in his fight with Peter through several structures.), D3 in Full Body, Unknown for his brain (The bomb rocket created to kill Ego was made from interdimensional Sovereign batteries, which were stated to have enough energy to take out the Sovereign fleet)

### Classification

Celestial (primordial race of humanoid god-like beings), living planet

### Power and Abilities

"You own a planet, and can destroy two dozen spaceships without a suit. What are you, exactly?"
```
   "I'm what's called a Celestial, sweetheart."    ―Ego to Gamora[src]
```
Celestial Physiology: Ego is a Celestial, a primordial race of brain-like entities with vast supernatural power, capable of manipulating matter and energy. He has displayed some of his abilities on the list below.

```
   "Doesn't eternity get boring?"   "Not if you have a purpose, Peter."    ―Star-Lord and Ego
```

```
   Immortality: Ego, like his race, was immortal and ancient. While giving Star-Lord, Gamora and Drax a tour of his planet, he stated that he was millions of years old. He can only be truly killed if his true form, his brain, is destroyed.   Superhuman Strength: As a Celestial, Ego's physical strength is at immense superhuman levels. He was able to casually crush Quill's Walkman Headset in his hand, as well as smash through stones and propel his son across the vast underground center of his planet during their fight. It is also said by the Collector that these beings have such incalculable strength, that they can allegedly wield the Infinity Stones.   Superhuman Durability: In addition to his powerful strength, Ego also has superhuman durability which makes him almost impervious to physical attacks. His avatars are also superhumanly durable. He was able to withstand his son's Celestial powers and attacks and crashing through rock at bullet-like speed.
```

```
   "Over millions of years, I learned to control the molecules around me. I grew smarter, and stronger. And I continued building from there, layer by layer, the very planet you walk on now."    ―Ego to the Guardians of the Galaxy
```

```
   Molecular Manipulation: Ego is able to manipulate matter to a molecular level thanks to his Celestial powers. While giving Star-Lord, Drax and Gamora a tour of his planet, he stated that it took him millions of years to master this ability.       Matter Manipulation: During the battle with his son, he created various melee weapons out of matter and even created a humanoid giant of himself.        Flight: When battling Quill across the center of his planet, he was able to fly through air at bullet-like speeds along with his son, seemingly by using the surrounding matter to propel himself.
```

```
   "The planet is Ego. A dog would not invite a flea to live on his back."    ―Mantis   Planetary Form: Ego was able to use his molecular manipulation to create a shell around himself, which after millions of years, he later evolved into a planet. He can manipulate the planet on a molecular level. His brain is stored in the center of his planet's core, while his energy form could traverse the planet and use matter it manipulated to make itself physically manifest. While directly possessing the planet, he could more seamlessly manipulate and reshape its structure, such as to cause the ground to trap members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, no matter where they were.       Seedlings Creation: Ego is able to create alien seedlings in order to terraform the worlds across the universe into his own extensions. When activated, these seedlings begin to terraform the planet into extensions of Ego's power and consciousness.    Energy Manipulation: Ego essentially descibes his powers as "light".[1] In particular, this is a blue, fiery light that he could shape and transform into physical constructs. He once projected radiance beams from his fingers that are able to unlock handcuffs. He even taught his son, Peter Quill, how to manipulate light.[1]       Light Tentacles: He is able to create massive light tentacles to combat and restrain Quill and his allies. They could also phase through people to cause them pain and incapacitate them without inflicting damage, as they did to Quill when they phased through his torso and his head.       Light Beams: He projected a few blasts from his planet which were powerful enough to destroy all of the Sovereign spaceships attacking the Guardians.       Light Form: He can also mold the energy to create a humanoid form for himself. His radiance could also directly possess the structure of the planet to allow him to more seamlessly manipulate and reshape it.       Power Drawing: He used his light manipulation powers to draw the Celestial powers from his son's essence to activate his seedlings.       Hypnosis Inducement: Ego has the ability to make people docile and susceptible to suggestion with a touch to the victim's forehead, sending a surge of energy into their minds. He would use this to compel his children into activating his seedlings. He did this to Star Lord to make his eyes black with small, star-like lights, and allowed him to see the multiple seeds across the galaxy. However, they can resist if the bond they have for someone was so strong which would help them snap out of the effects, or if they are extremely angered, like Star-Lord bond for his friends and mom while being angry at Ego for killing his mom.   Biological Manipulation: Ego has also shown to be able to create and manipulate biological matter, including his own living avatars, which he creates to experience what it is like to be human.       Health Manipulation: Ego created a tumor inside Meredith Quill's brain in order to kill her.       Avatar Creation: In order to interact with the intelligent lifeforms that populates the universe, Ego created for himself an humanoid avatar who reflected his idea of a biological humanoid being. His avatar is an extension of his own consciousness and is provided with a digestive system, pain receptors and a reproductive system, as Ego explained to Drax that he "does indeed have a penis". However, it requires periodic returns to his main body to regenerate in the light of his planet to continue functioning.           Reconstitution: The body can reconstitute itself when damaged, and rebuild from the ground when completely destroyed. When Star-Lord repeatedly shot Ego after hearing his confession, Ego's avatar began repairing itself almost immediately. Even during his battle with his son, the Avatar always repairs itself if it took too much damage.           Shapeshifting: Ego's features can also be heavily altered, as he showed to his son Peter Quill when transforming himself into David Hasselhoff.    Genius-Level Intellect: Ego is a highly intelligent being, to the point of being so smart he can even outsmart the Guardians, and even manipulate them into being friends with him. He stated that millions of years of learning has made him wiser and much smarter. Also, all that experience allows him to deal with situations of danger or conflict, and gain the trust of others.   Resources: Ego has also amassed vast amounts of Units and other resources throughout his immortal life, due to having been able to generously compensate Yondu and his Ravagers to deliver his children to him. It is also possible that he could generate the Units with the aid of his matter manipulation powers.

**Ego** was a Celestial, a primordial and extremely powerful being, and the biological father of Peter Quill.
 A ruthless, megalomaniacal entity possessing a god complex, Ego desired
 a meaning to conquer the entire universe via an omnicidal
extinction-level event known as the Expansion,
 which would terraform all life-sustaining planets by implanting alien
seedlings into new extensions of himself. In order to activate the power
 of the Expansion, the process required two Celestials. To that end, Ego
 traveled throughout the cosmos, impregnating various female
extraterrestrial species and siring thousands of children. Ego later
hired the Yondu Ravager Clan
 to abduct and transport his offspring. When his children failed to
inherit the Celestial gene, Ego killed them painlessly and left their
skeletal remains inside the underground cavern he constructed within his
 planet-shaped structure.

After Ego heard a tale of a man from Earth who held an Infinity Stone without dying, Ego realized this man must have been the son he fathered with Meredith Quill, whom Yondu Udonta
 failed to deliver. After Ego reunited with his biological son, he
bonded with Quill after confirming that his son successfully inherited
the Celestial gene, and proceeded to explain to his son about his
purpose of expanding the universe by placing Quill under a trance to
gain his compliance. However, when Ego confessed he was responsible for
Meredith's death, Quill snapped out of his hypnosis and reunited with
his fellow Guardians, now including Mantis, to kill Ego and foil the Expansion, thus saving billions of innocent lives and the cosmos.
