Kang was able to resist the Time-Keepers transformation long enough to split himself into a Kang and an Immortus. To defend themselves, the Time-Keepers summoned multiple "evil" Avengers from across time to oppose the Avengers, however Rick Jones summoned more "good" Avengers to help. They attempted to use the Forever Crystal combined with a Chrono-Cannon to accomplish this and removed Immortus from existence and removed Kang by forcing his transformation into Immortus. These Avengers were eventually brought to the Time-Keepers who revealed there plan: wipe-out the minimum number of timelines to weaken humanity and preserve themselves. In his attempt, the Destiny Force came to Rick and assisted him by calling forth Avengers from different time periods to defend him. The Time-Keepers returned to Immortus and warned him of humanity's dominance and instructed him to kill Rick Jones to prevent the Destiny Force from awakening in all of humanity. They authorized the installation of the Watcher's dimensional portal that allowed him to view other realities, but threatened to confiscate it if the Watcher did not fix the divergences caused by different universes' Living Lasers. Īfter the death of Eon, the Time-Keepers (or the Time-Twisters in disguise) attended his funeral. After they failed and Immortus was defeated, the Time-Keepers returned and sent the Time-Twisters to their birthing pods, where they could watch over them. Later, Immortus began working against the Time-Twisters when they tried to kill four Nexus Beings. Īt some point the Time-Twisters returned, posing as the Time-Keepers, and began using Immortus as their pawn to absorb the energy of the Scarlet Witch.
Immortus however, led her into a relationship with the Vision. They also recognized how powerful the Nexus Being the Scarlet Witch was and charged Immortus with killing her to stop her from bearing children.
The Time-Keepers then discovered a series of realities that were razed by humanity, and tasked Immortus with preventing these from occurring or they would completely destroy humanity. When he failed, they sent Immortus himself but he decided to defy the Keepers and assist the Avengers. The Time-Keepers' first known interaction with the Prime Marvel Universe was their attempts to break up the Avengers (before they could threaten the Time-Keepers) by sending the Space Phantom to defeat them. Īt some point, the Time-Keepers recruited Immortus to monitor all-time between 3000 BC and 4000 AD, and untangle the time-travel mess his prior selves had left in their wake. There were three main Time-Keepers but a fourth was reportedly created and exiled to Egypt in 2950 BC.
In the reality in which they were destroyed, He Who Remains created the Time-Keepers to protect time. Due to the intervention of Thor, this reality was split into two: one where the Twisters lived and one where they were destroyed.
The first attempt resulted in the creation of the Time-Twisters, who were flawed and destroyed numerous realities. The Time-Keepers were created by He Who Remains, the very last director of the Time Variance Authority, in the Citadel at the End of Time just prior to the heat death of that universe.
