Summary
The Protege is a cosmic entity, the childlike ruler of the Universal Church of Truth.
In order to save the lives of the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Skrull shapeshifter Replica left them to give herself as a playmate to Protege, her god. However, she comes into conflict with Protege's other companion, Malevolence, the daughter of Mephisto. Thus, upon receiving a call for aid from her old friend Martinex, as his planet is being torn asunder by multiple tragedies, Replica dodges the attentions of Protege and Malevolence to answer this call, though ultimately it is Protege who lets her go. Despite this, she still had to be rescued from a Universal Church ship by Firelord.
In the 31st century of Earth-691, the Living Tribunal was nearly usurped by Protege, who duplicated the latter's power. The Protege claimed to have become the new One Above All, although he was ultimately stopped by the Celestial Scathan the Approver. The Tribunal then absorbed him into itself to prevent him from endangering reality again.
