Who is Epoch?

Epoch is a cosmic entity who appeared during the Infinity Gauntlet crisis, serving as a guardian of cosmic order in the Marvel Universe. The offspring of Eternity, she embodies the concept of evolution and continuity on a universal scale.

Bursting onto the scene in Jim Starlin and George Pérez's landmark The Infinity Gauntlet #2 in 1991, Epoch is a Marvel cosmic entity who arrived at one of the most dramatic moments in the entire Copper Age. Over a span stretching across 23 years, this enigmatic figure carved out a niche in Marvel's vast cosmic tapestry, appearing most prominently alongside the likes of Wendell Vaughn, Quasar, and even Thor in titles like Quasar and Fantastic Four: The New Fantastic Four. With a debut tied to one of Marvel's most celebrated cosmic epics, Epoch carries genuine key-issue pedigree right out of the gate. A relatively rare presence with 22 catalog appearances, she's exactly the kind of deep-cut cosmic character that rewards the curious collector willing to explore beyond the marquee names.
