- "The prophecy is the only hope my people have had for millennia."
- ―Xavin to Molly Hernandez[src]
There is an ancient prophecy among the Xartan people that someday the love of two people from different worlds would bring peace to the universe.
Millenia ago, a Xartan named Xavin became convinced they were one of the two lovers from the prophecy and, seeking to see other worlds to find their soulmate, stowed away on a spaceship carrying a family of exiled Gibborim from their home planet. The ship crashed on planet Earth, burrowing deep beneath the surface. Xavin remained trapped in the wrecked for over 11,000 years.[1]
Characteristic Traits[]

- ―Xavin to Leslie Dean[src]

Trivia[]
- In the comics, the Xartans are a race of aliens who inhabit the planet Xarta. The Celestials once experimented on them, creating a Deviant faction of the race. The Deviant Xartans went to war with the baseline Xartans, and exterminated them. As it is with the Skrulls, the Deviants are the only Celestial-experimented faction of the Xartan race that still exists.
