Ego the Living Planet

## Powers & Abilities

* **Surface Matter Manipulation:** The living planet Ego has been called a "bioverse." Every part of its substance, including its atmosphere, is "alive" in as much as it is animated and controlled by the consciousness of Ego. The exact composition of Ego is unknown, but much of the planet's surface, at least, seems to be composed of organic molecules. The planet possesses various internal features which have analogues to parts of living Earth-based organisms. For example, its interior contains tunnels which have been compared to arteries, and the center of Ego's consciousness resides in a brain-like organ deep below its surface. Ego can absorb humanoid-sized living beings into itself and "digest" them in internal areas similar to an Earth being’s stomach, using its own analogues to digestive fluids. Ego can transform its own surface to resemble a gigantic face, to reach out into space with gigantic tendrils, or to become an idyllic world resembling the most beautiful areas of Earth. Just as an Earth organism creates one-celled antibodies to attack foreign substances in its bloodstream, Ego creates humanoid-sized anti-body like beings from itself to attack intruders on or beneath its surface. In its encounters with humanoids, Ego has caused the "antibodies" to take semi-humanoid form.
* **Psionic Powers:** Ego generates vast psionic energies which, at their peak, rival those of a hungered Galactus. If Ego depletes its energy below a level that it can replenish by itself, it can renew its energy stores by tapping outside sources, like stars, or digesting large numbers of living beings. At full strength, Ego can use its psionic energy to obliterate starships. As Ego can create humanoid beings from its own surface, they can be commanded across interstellar distances. Ego communicates with other beings telepathically. As another aspect of his psionic abilities, Ego was also able to read Thor's mind and scan his biological structure. Ego has used its great psionic powers to command the immensely powerful sidereal propulsion unit installed at its south pole by Galactus. The unit can propel Ego in and out of hyperspace at vast speeds, and apparently has virtually inexhaustible power.
* **Planet Consciousness Bringing:** Ego has been shown, in a different reality, as seen by the reality leaping Exiles, that it is able to bring out the consciousness in other planets - which it did to that reality's Earth. These 'awakened' planets are also able to command every aspect upon them, including making Anti-bodies.
* **Hyperspace Travel:** By exceeding 99% of the speed of light (186,000 miles per second), Ego can access the hyperspace dimension (where velocity is not limited by the speed of light).
* **Super-Genius Intelligence**

## Alternate Forms

### Ego (Earth-199999)

**Celestial Physiology:** Ego is a Celestial being with vast supernatural power, capable of manipulating matter and energy to create avatars and a planetary shell around his one vulnerability: his core.

* **Superhuman Condition:** He has incredible amounts of physical strength and is almost invulnerable to physical trauma as he can regenerate his avatar with his mind alone. Celestial physiology is robust enough to directly handle an Infinity Stone without destroying themselves.
* **Near-Immortality:** He himself is a precursor to the first civilizations of the universe, such as the Asgardians and Dark Elves. He himself cannot be destroyed, unless the "Light of his Planet" emanating from the core is destroyed.
* **Matter Manipulation:** Ego can manipulate matter on a molecular level. He has absolute control over the molecules of his planet as well as can manipulate other kinds of matter as well.
	+ **Planetary Form:** His true form, a small planetary body, is under this control on a molecular level.
	+ **Avatar Creation:** Using his powers, Ego can form avatars that can explore the universe and interact with other life forms. These avatars are fully capable of reproduction, but require periodic returns to his main body to regenerate in the light of the planet to continue functioning.
	+ **Self-Reconstitution:** Ego can rapidly repair himself via molecular manipulation.
	+ **Shape-Shifting:** Ego can alter the structure of his avatars much like how he manipulates the matter of his planet, allowing him to take on any form.
* **Energy Manipulation:** Ego can project and manipulate light energy for various uses, offensive and otherwise.
* **Biological Manipulation:** Ego can alter and manipulate the biological and physiological functions of other life forms, notably placing a tumor within Meredith's head to kill her.
