As the Celestials role expands in the MCU and Marvel's current Judgement Day event, it's an interesting time to consider how they've connected to mutants and the X-Men, and what those connections tell us about stories to come.
The Celestials are one of Jack Kirby's most fascinating contributions to the Marvel Universe (and it's a long list!). The enigmatic alien space gods - more modular robot than Greco-Roman deity - entered relatively late in Marvel's Bronze Age as part of Kirby's Eternals, but have subsequently been integrated heavily into the fabric and foundations of all of Marvel's shared universe.

+ Are any mutants closely connected to the Celestials?
And more!
