Chernabog (Crossover Cinematic Universe)

**Chernabog** is the main antagonist of the *Crossover Cinematic Universe*. He is the son of Byelobog and an extremely powerful gargoyle warlord god who commands three massive armies called the Chitauri, the Sakaarans and the Outriders, as well as a small group of fanatical followers known as the Black Order. His main objective is to bring stability to the universe, as he believed its massive population would inevitably use up the universe's entire supply of resources and condemn it. To complete this goal, Chernabog set about tracking down the Magic Stones, as the combined efforts might wipe out half the universe. Chernabog forged alliances with Maximus I.Q. and X.A.N.A. in order to track down some of the Stones: However, both alliances cost Chernabog much of his resources, including the Mind Stone and the loyalty of his adopted daughters. Fed up with all of his subordinates' continued failures, Chernabog forced Jeremy to create the Magic Gauntlet for him, while Chernabog had opted to seek out the location of the six Magic Stones himself.

Chernabog engaged in a ferocious crusade in order to obtain the Magic Stones. During his mission, both Chernabog and his Black Order invaded multiple planets and slaughtered thousands to gain the stones, including Maximus. This quest even forced Chernabog to sacrifice his beloved Electriss in order to take the Soul Stone. Chernabog soon found himself challenged by an alliance of the entire universe's greatest heroes, which included the Galactic Force and the Lyoko Warriors. However, despite facing off against the powerfully combined opposition and the wrath of Ulrich, Chernabog still ultimately triumphed as he completed the Magic Gauntlet, using it to finally complete his goal, and had then caused the Snap, resulting in half of all life in the universe being wiped out at the snap from his fingers.

Following his Snap, Chernabog had then ensured this could never be reversed by destroying all of the Magic Stones, resulting in the heroes tracking him down on Garden before then being decapitated by Ulrich. However, in the alternative 2014, Chernabog was alerted to the events of the Infinity War by a time-traveled Frozer, resulting in him traveling to 2023 and laying siege on the heroes, as he had just decided to instead wipe out the entire universe and replace it out of revenge for their efforts to stop him. However, Chernabog had been just too late to stop the Snap from being reversed as thousands of heroes returned to stop him. Despite all of Chernabog's best efforts, he was unable to claim victory as Mickey Mouse used his armor to utilize the Magic Stones, and had decimated the Chitauri and Outriders, as well as Chernabog himself, finally ending his reign once and for all.

## History

### Early life

Born and raised on the planet Titanus, Chernabog had an unwavering love for his home and its people. As Titanus grew overpopulated and began running low on natural resources, Chernabog worried about his planet's lifespan. In an effort to save the planet, Chernabog suggested killing half the population at random so that the other half could prosper. The people of Titanus rejected this idea and banished Chernabog, labeling him a madman. However, Chernabog's worries proved valid as Titanus crumbled over time and Chernabog's race went extinct, leaving him as its sole survivor. Fearing what happened to Titanus would occur elsewhere, Chernabog dedicated his life to balancing the universe by destroying half of all life for the benefit of the other half.

The God of Darkness, as he became known, amassed an army and began conquering planets, causing his reputation to quickly spread throughout the galaxy. To further build his strength, Chernabog adopted children that were orphaned during the conquering of their home planet, forming the Children of Chernabog, consisting of Glaive, Obsidian, Maw, Proxima, Frozer, and Electriss. During his children's training, Chernabog would always pit Frozer and Electriss against each other, and Electriss' consistent victories caused her to become Chernabog's favorite child. Conversely, he grew disappointed in Frozer, and every time she'd lose he would replace a part of her body with machinery in an effort to improve her fighting.

### Search for the Magic Stones

Eventually, Chernabog learned about the existence of the Magic Stones, six all-powerful gems that grant their wielder god-like abilities; each Stone having the capability to control an aspect to existence. Chernabog made it his mission to acquire these stones, first by proxy. In 2012, he enlists the help of his minion, the Other, leader of the Chitauri, to contact Maximus I.Q. after his defeat at Ulrich's hands, and task him with collecting the Space Stone, located on Earth and within the Tesseract; in exchange, Chernabog and the Other promise Maximus a Chitauri army large enough to conquer Earth. While Maximus is able to secure the Tesseract and summon the Chitauri to Earth, he is ultimately defeated by the Galactic Force, and taken alongside the Tesseract to Franz for safekeeping.

Two years later, in 2014, Chernabog turns his attention to the Power Stone, stored inside an Orb on the planet Morag. He enlists the virus radical X.A.N.A. and his forces to collect it from him, in return offering assistance in destroying the planet Lyoko. Before X.A.N.A.'s forces can obtain the Orb, it is claimed by Odd, leading Chernabog to send Electriss to re-claim it. However, Electriss turns on them and forms the Lyoko Warriors alongside her friends, intending to sell the Orb to the Collector. While enraged by his favorite child's betrayal, Chernabog resumes his quest for the Orb and sends Frozer to assist X.A.N.A. in obtaining it. They succeed in doing so, but both X.A.N.A. and Frozer later betray Chernabog, with the former intending to destroy Lyoko himself using the Power Stone, and then kill Chernabog as well. However, X.A.N.A. is thwarted by the Lyoko Warriors, who kill him using the stone's power, before handing it over to Lyoko for safekeeping; leaving Chernabog with yet another stone lost, as well as two of his daughters now against him.

After both of these failures to claim the stones, Chernabog forces the humans of Nidavellir to build the Magic Gauntlet for him, capable of channeling all six Magic Stones. He then proceeds to exterminate the entire population save for Jeremy, whose hands he smelts in metal, and dons the Magic Gauntlet, intending to collect the stones himself.

### Assembling the stones and the Snap

In early 2018, Chernabog decimates Lyoko, claiming the Power Stone. He later tracks down the starship carrying the survivors of Ragnarök, and ambushes it using his own ship, the Sanctuary II. After killing over half of the survivors, Chernabog easily subdues Ulrich and defeats Franz Hopper in hand-to-combat, before claiming the Tesseract with the Space Stone from Maximus, whom he kills. However, before being killed as well, Hal is able to send Franz to Earth to warn its heroes about Chernabog, who then destroys the ship, leaving any survivors, including Ulrich, to die.

After these events, Chernabog sends his children to Earth to claim the stones located there, while he heads to Knowhere to get the Reality Stone from the Collector, which he succeeds in doing, destroying most of the place in the process. Shortly after, the Lyoko Warriors, having been warned by Ulrich, whom they rescued from deep space, about Chernabog's intentions, arrive to stop him, but Chernabog uses the stone to trick them into letting their guard down. After defeating the Lyoko Warriors, Chernabog leaves with Electriss, knowing that she learned about the location of the Soul Stone. Revealing that he captured and tortured Frozer after she tried and failed to assassinate him, Chernabog convinces Frozer to take him to the Soul Stone's location in exchange for her sister's life. The pair arrive on Vormir, where the stone's guardian, the Indigo Skull, informs them that they have to sacrifice something they love in order to claim it. While Electriss initially mocks Chernabog, stating that he loves nothing, she is shocked to discover that he genuinely loves her and attempts to kill herself, but fails. Unwilling to give up his quest for balance, a heartbroken Chernabog reluctantly throws Electriss to her death and claims the Soul Stone.

Later, Chernabog arrives on Titanus to rendezvous with Maw, whom he sent to retrieve the Time Stone from Mister Strange, only to find Strange instead and learn that Maw has been killed. After explaining his motivations to Strange, Thanos is attacked by him, Atomic Betty, Sparky, X-5, and the Lyoko Warriors, and, while the heroes manage to overpower him, they lose their grasp on Chernabog after Odd furiously beats him upon learning about Electriss' death from a recently arrived Frozer. This allows Chernabog to defeat the heroes and wound Betty, though Strange stops him before he could kill him, offering him the Time Stone in exchange for Betty's life. Chernabog proceeds to claim the stone and head to Earth to collect the final stone: the Mind Stone.

Chernabog arrives in Canada and easily overpowers everyone in his path to Mechavision, who has the Mind Stone in his forehead. While Maximoff manages to hold off Chernabog long enough to destroy the stone, killing Mechavision in the process, the God of Darkness uses the Time Stone to rewind time, reviving Mechavision in order to claim the Mind Stone. After killing Mechavision a second time, Chernabog completes his Magic Gauntlet, just as Ulrich arrives and stabs him in the chest with Stormbreaker. However, he survives his injury and, by simply snapping his fingers, activates the full power of the Magic Stones, causing half of all life across the universe to be reduced to dust. While the heroes remain shocked at this event, Chernabog teleports away to an uninhabited planet called the Garden, where he becomes a farmer and plans to live the rest of his days in peace, having achieved his goal of restoring balance to the universe.

### Final days, undoing and final defeat

Three weeks after the "Snap," a faction of the surviving heroes pinpoint Chernabog's location and ambush him. After being subdued, Chernabog reveals that he destroyed the stones using their own power, in order to avoid further temptations and prevent anyone from reversing his actions. While the heroes are initially distrustful, Frozer assures them that Chernabog, albeit many things, is not a liar. Just as Chernabog thanks her and admits that he might have treated her too harshly, an enraged Ulrich beheads him, much to everyone's shock. With Chernabog dead but his victory sealed, the despondent heroes then return to Earth.

Five years later, the surviving heroes discover time travel and use it to retrieve the past versions of the Magic Stones. However, after retrieving the Power Stone from Morag in 2014, Frozer's cybernetics begin to overlap with her 2014 counterpart, which is discovered by the 2014 Chernabog at the moment when he was ordering her and Electriss to obtain the Power Stone, and he uses it to ultimately discover his future success, and the heroes' plan to undo it. With this new insight, Chernabog captures present day Frozer, then has her 2014 counterpart, who is still loyal to him, replace her and travel to the future, whereupon she uses the heroes' time machine to bring Chernabog's army to the future, just as the heroes complete their own Magic Gauntlet and undo the Snap.

After destroying the heroes' base, Chernabog is confronted by Mickey Mouse, Atomic Betty, and Ulrich, and finally unleashes his darker side as he informs them of his new plan to use the stones to destroy the universe and create an entirely new one, so that no one will attempt to undo his actions. Following a fight with the trio, Chernabog summons his army, just as a recently revived Mister Strange arrives with other sorcerers, the restored heroes and others to combat him. In the ensuing battle, Chernabog is still able to claim the heroes' Gauntlet, but this time, when he snaps his fingers, nothing happens, because Mickey takes the stones from him and uses them to decimate Chernabog and his forces. After helplessly watching his army turn to dust before his eyes, Chernabog silently accepts his fate as he also turns to dust, marking his final defeat.

### Galactic Force: Endgame

#### 2018 Chernabog

* The universe required correction. After that, the stones served no purpose, beyond temptation.
* You should be grateful.
* Gone. Reduced to atoms.
* I used the stones to destroy the stones. It nearly killed me. But the work is done. It always will be. I am... inevitable.
* Ah, thank you, daughter. Perhaps I treated you too harshly. (last words)

#### 2014 Chernabog

* X.A.N.A.'s located the Power Stone. I'm dispatching you to his ship.
* His alternative is death, then. X.A.N.A.'s obsession clouds his judgement.
* No, you won't.
* Ssshhh.
* Bring her to my ship.
* Run diagnostics. Show me her memory file.
* Impossible.
* Where is this other Frozer?
* Can you access her?
* Search the duplicate's memories for Magic Stones.
* Freeze image.
* Galactic Force. Unruly wretches. What's that reflection? Amplify this, Maw.
* No. The same Frozer. From two different times. Set course for Morag. Scan the duplicate's memories. I want to see everything.
* Nothing. Yet. They're not trying to stop something I'm going to do in our time. They're trying to undo something I've already done in theirs.
* I found them all. I won. Tipped the cosmic scales to balance.
* It's my destiny.
* And that is destiny fulfilled.

* So, this is the future. Well done.
* The arrogant never do.

* Wait.
* You could not live with your own failure. And where did that bring you? Back to me. I thought by eliminating half of life, the other half would thrive, but you've shown me... that's impossible. As long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be. They will resist.
* I'm thankful, because now, I know what I must do. I will shred this universe down to its last atom and then, with the stones you've collected for me, create a new one teeming with life that knows not what it has lost but only what it has been given. A grateful universe.
* They'll never know it. Because you won't be alive to tell them.
* In all my years of conquest, violence, massacre, it was never personal. But I'll tell you now, what I'm about to do to your stubborn, annoying little planet, I'm gonna enjoy it. Very, very much.
* Where's Frozer?
* I don't even know who you are.
* Rain fire!
* Just do it!
* I am... inevitable. (last words)
