Who exactly is the Fantastic Four villain Abraxas

The majority of Abraxas' appearances are as The F4's main adversary. He made his debut in Fantastic Four Annual #2001. Born from the center of Eternity, Abraxas was a malevolent cosmic being that stood in opposition to the act of creation itself. He aimed to put an end to the Multiverse because he saw immaculateness in emptiness.

Originally, Eternity tried to stop the creation and spread of this deadly cosmic monster known as Abraxas, so she created the formidable Devourer of Worlds, Galactus. But after Mainstream Marvel's Galactus perished, Abraxas was born and quickly started slicing through several parallel universes, unleashing his terror on each version of Galactus he met.

Abraxas lured the Fantastic Four to look for the Ultimate Nullifier by tantalizing them with his imminent arrival. Abraxas materialized out of nowhere and took the Ultimate Nullifier from the Four after they had discovered it.

After all seemed lost, in Fantastic Four (Vol. 3) #49, Franklin Richards, Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman's son used his cosmic abilities to reassemble Galactus and thus dispose of Abraxas, exhausting his own omega-level mutant powers forever.

How powerful is Abraxas

As previously mentioned, Abraxas is a strong intelligence that has taken on human form and is the personification of the multiverse's demise. Since Abraxas is the antithesis of Eternity, he is a comparable cosmic being who has the ability to change reality to suit his desires.

Because of his infinite abilities, the F4 villain is outside the realm of human comprehension. The Nullifier had to be used to recreate the universe from scratch and destroy all of reality before even the Four could vanquish this cosmic entity. How a deity with such omnipotence could be dead is a mystery.

The MCU will see a whole new level of power scaling if this entity decides to be a foe of the Four in their upcoming flick. Till now, all the villains fans have witnessed in the MCU have been nowhere close to the power levels Abraxas boasts. It will surely be entertaining, to say the least, to see how Marvel tackles this omnipotent being.
