Ex Nihilo (character)

Ex Nihilo is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

Ex Nihilo first appeared in Avengers vol. 5 #1 (December 2012) and was created by Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opeña.^[1]

Ex Nihilo is one of the Gardeners carried along with his sister Abyss as an egg by an Aleph (a species of robotic creatures created by the Builders). In accordance with their mission as creations of the Builders, Aleph taught them to transform into perfect creatures any species they encountered.^[2] Ex Nihilo, Abyss, and their Aleph arrive on Mars and terraform it to contain a breathable atmosphere and vegetation. After Ex Nihilo shoots an Origin Bomb at Earth to accelerate the evolution of mankind, the Avengers assemble a response team. Not interested in fighting, Ex Nihilo tries to accelerate Iron Man's evolution so that he no longer needs an exoskeleton. When Black Widow and Hawkeye retaliate, Ex Nihilo becomes angry and attacks them. During the brawl, Ex Nihilo, Abyss, and the Aleph defeat the Avengers and imprison them. A helpless Captain America is sent back to Earth as a message.^[3][2][4] Awakening three days later, Captain America implements the Avengers initiative called "Wake The World", prompting the team's most massive assemblage to date.^[2] Ex Nihilo and his allies battle the Avengers until they notice the presence of Captain Universe, who destroys Aleph. Before returning to Earth, the Avengers allow Ex Nihilo to reshape Mars as long as he does not interfere with Earth.^[4]

In a prelude to the Infinity storyline, Ex Nihilo, Abyss, Nightmask, and Star Brand join the Avengers.^[5] After the fight against the Builders and Thanos, Ex Nihilo joins his brethren who endeavor to recreate life on worlds ravaged by the war of the Builders.^[6]
