Who is Protege?

Character History Protégé was a cosmic entity and the child-like ruler of the Universal Church of Truth in the 31st century of Earth-691. He had a Skrull playmate, Replica , and an advisor, Jiltrin , and a matriarch, Aleta (who later became a Starhawk). Protégé was the by-product of generations of genetic engineering, selective breeding and eugenics, as well as uncountable amounts of chemicals, drugs, and magical treatments stolen from the planets that the Universal Church conquered, all in the attempt to recreate their god: the Magus . Protege was later captured by the Beyonder , along with Malevolence , who had become his new matriarch. The Beyonder captured them just for amusement's sake. Mephisto broke them out and Protege battled the Beyonder, copying his powers instantly. As he grew in power, the Living Tribunal and Eternity became concerned with his potential to upset the multiverse if he continued to take powers on this scale. The Beyonder, seeing that he could not defeat him directly, left.
