The subject of this article comes from an alternate universe connecting to the main timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"In this universe, Yondu never had his change of heart. So he turned Peter over to his father, the Celestial being known as Ego."
Watcher[src]

The "Celestial Invader Ego" Universe is an alternate reality where Peter Quill was kidnapped and delivered to his father, Ego, prompting him to use their combined power to invade other planets and start his Expansion.

History[]

World War II[]

The Celestial Ego planted seeds on several planets around the universe, hoping to expand himself into those planets. Meanwhile, Earth experienced its second World War, and Captain America fought in the war alongside Bucky Barnes, although both were considered dead. In the aftermath of the war, allies of the pair, including Howard Stark and Peggy Carter, founded S.H.I.E.L.D. to protect Earth from various threats. Barnes was not dead, however, and was instead brainwashed into becoming an agent named Winter Soldier who was used by the Soviet Union.[1]

Ego had a child with Meredith Quill, who she named Peter Quill. When Peter was eight years old, Meredith died because of Ego. That same night, Peter was abducted by the Ravagers. The Ravagers brought Peter to Ego, who told the young boy about his plan and gave him Celestial powers. Peter then went to multiple planets, including Asgard and seven of the Nine Realms, and destroyed them on his father's behalf.

Meanwhile, Janet van Dyne went on a mission with Hank Pym which went wrong, leading van Dyne to be believed dead, upsetting their daughter, Hope van Dyne.[1]

Peter Quill returned to Earth six months later and started to cause chaos in New York City as the police failed to stop him. S.H.I.E.L.D. learned about Quill's presence, prompting them to assemble a team to stop him. The team consisted of Hank Pym, Bill Foster, T'Chaka, Wendy Lawson, and Winter Soldier, who the Soviet Union had insisted on being included. The team confronted Quill at Coney Island, but he easily defeated them. Thor then suddenly arrived and knocked Quill out.

Kahhori then returned Quill to the Celestial Invader Ego universe.[1]
