Who is Living Tribunal?

Origin The Living Tribunal's true function - the task for which it was created - is to protect the worlds without end, to whom Earth is but a speck of dust. He safe-guards the multiverse from mystical imbalance and transcends the realms of death and eternity, order and chaos, and all opposing realities. All the dimensions, each nebulous netherworld which exists either in time or in space - as matter or as fathomless void - were given over into the eternal, deathless keeping of the Living Tribunal. This was done by the Supreme Being of the Marvel Multiverse: the entity called by cosmic beings "the One-Above-All." His half-cloaked face represents vengeance, his cloaked face represents necessity, and his full face symbolizes equity. Everywhere in existence has the presence of the trinity. He uses all three faces to look upon the world and judge. He judges these dualities and must know their true nature. He might have a fourth face, which represents nothing.
