Who is Epoch?

Origin Epoch was hatched shortly after her parent; Eon was killed during Quasar ’s battle with the Cosmic Assassin, Maelstrom . Despite being born premature as a result of Thanos ’ action of turning Eon’s corpse inside-out, luckily, by that time she had absorbed the basic knowledge required of her to assume her parent’s cosmic station whose duty it was to nurture the evolution of sentient life of the universe and to maintain conditions favorable to life in the universe. ( One might surmise that Epoch would have stayed within Eon's body and therefore the Eonverse for several more centuries until she was powerful enough to protect herself had her parent not died ) Quasar protected her as he did her parent; she was still quite weak and still had a wealth of information to absorb to fuel her budding cosmic awareness. Later, Epoch chose to explore the Crab Nebula without Quasar’s protection, and on several occasions after that was either unable to receive or was unwilling to answer more than one emergency communication from Quasar. (though this shouldn't be see as some sort of snub towards Quasar as writers in question probably did not want to deal with a cosmic entity solving the hero'.
