Seventh Cosmos
"Seventh Cosmos" is the denomination given to the seventhiteration of existence and sixthMultiverse. It was originally the current Multiverse. Unlike previous cosmoses, the Seventh was not embodied by one single entity. Rather, it was personified by two:Infinity andEternity.[1] The Seventh Cosmos was destroyed by theincursions, though most of what had been the Seventh Cosmos was transferred to theEighth Cosmos, thanks toReed Richards.[2][3] The beings behind the Seventh Cosmos' end were theBeyonders.[4][5][6]

Battleworld, the remnants of the Seventh Cosmos as a single patchwork planet
The Beyonders, the destroyers of the Seventh Cosmos
Thetransition from the Seventh Cosmos to the Eighth Cosmos is quite unusual. Firstly, the Multiverse never completely ended. By stealing the power of the Beyonders and storing it within theMolecule Man,Doctor Doom was able to preserve remnants of the Multiverse asBattleworld.[7] Then, the Molecule Man gave the power of the Beyonders to Reed Richards and they, along withFranklin Richards, restored the Multiverse.[8] However, it was a continuation of the old Multiverse with onlyminor differences.[9][3]
Notes
- InSecret Wars, it was said that theBeyonders destroyed theMultiverse (Seventh Cosmos) out of boredom and curiosity.[7] However, the Beyonders were later retconned to be benevolent reality engineers and their motivation for destroying the the Multiverse was changed to causing a "firebreak" done in hopes of avertingEnigma. They had intended theEighth Cosmos to be free of it.[6][10]
