The Progenitor (Judgment Day)

The Progenitor's History

When Druig lead the Eternals to war against the mutant nation of Krakoa, Ajak and Makkari formulated a plan. Abducting Mister Sinister, for his knowledge gained by debasing the Dreaming Celestial, and recruiting Tony Stark, they set about reviving the Progenitor. This was not to be a simple resurrection. Instead, they would re-write the "programming" of the Celestial, creating a being with ideals more aligned with their own. This new god would, if they succeeded, forcibly end Druig's war. Upon waking, the Progenitor did just that. However, the Progenitor quickly surmised that the inhabitants of Earth had driven it to ruin. He declared they would have twenty-four hours to prove themselves more good than evil, else he would destroy the world.

After many judgments the Progenitor judged humanity as unworthy. The heroes of the planet united against it but were defeated. The Progenitor demanded the Machine that is Earth to self-destruct; however, the Machine refused and Phastos reset it before the Progenitor could cause it to explode. Meanwhile, some of the Eternals, X-Men, Sinister, and Stark infiltrated the Celestial to activate its own self-destruct while continuing to be judged by the Progenitor. Upon reaching the core, they convinced the Progenitor that it itself is not worthy which resulted in it undoing every death it caused and reverted back to Avengers Mountain. It also empowered Ajak so that she could be the god it could not. However, the Progenitor did not truly die and continued to observe the world and its inhabitants.
