Author Stan Lee and illustrator Jack Kirby invented the character, who made his debut in Thor #132 (September 1966). Ego the Living Planet shows minimal qualifications to be a superhero because the traits defining heroes like empathy moral sensibility and protective intentions are absent in the cosmic entity. The ego exists to reproduce and maintain its existence while destroying various other living organisms during its growth. The creature generates more threat across the cosmic scale than superhero status because its actions come from a destructive drive to make every part of the universe part of its own expansion.
