History
Celestial War[]

The First Cosmos being shattered
Embodied by theFirst Firmament, the First Cosmos was the very first universe to ever exist. During theCelestial War, theCelestials detonated their unimaginable weapons against theAspirants, shattering the First Firmament into pieces. The hundreds of new universes born from those pieces coalesced into the firstMultiverse andits personification.[4]
In accordance to the Celestials' desire, all subsequent universes had a lifespan. The Multiverse itself went throughrenewal cycles, in which all of creation ended and began again. The current Multiverse was theSeventh Cosmos, but it was laterdestroyed and reborn as theEighth Cosmos.[4]
Infinity Wars[]

Celestials and Infinity Stones under the God Quarry
According to analternate Loki with all theInfinity Stones, "the original universe" can be accessed by breaching the bottom of theQuarry of Creation, but all the stones are needed to do so.[5] Theprime Loki, after collecting all the stones, entered the original universe and found out that it is full of Infinity Stones and Celestials.[10] He asked the Celestials to show him his future[6] and was shown his past self entering theHouse of Ideas.[11]

Notes
- Two other different accounts as to how the First Cosmos was split into theMultiverse were presented throughout the years:
- Nemesis, the only living thing that existed within any and all realities, chose to put an end to itself because of its loneliness. From its ashes rose the Multiverse as well as the sixInfinity Gems, the reincarnated form of the being's might.[15]
- TheCelestials, wanting symmetry, created theExterminators to be the death to the life they made from the darkness. When their creations turned against them, the Celestials split the universe into the Multiverse and sealed the Exterminators into one of those universes.[3]
- InAvengers: Forever (Vol. 2) #15 andAvengers Assemble Omega #1, the First Firmament is erroneously described as a Multiverse.
- The First Cosmos did not go throughcycles and did not "age." If not for the Celestials, it would not have ended.[4]
