Shaper of Worlds Superhero Fan Art

The Shaper of Worlds began existence thousands of years ago as a Cosmic Cube, created by Skrull scientists, on an unnamed planet in the Skrull Empire, in the Andromeda Galaxy. It was used by the Skrull Emperor to enforce his rule over the Empire as a god-king. The Cube subsequently developed sentience, and because of the megalomaniacal personality of the emperor had been imprinted on it, it lashed out and devastated a significant portion of the Empire before it reached emotional maturity. It was at this point that it started calling itself the "Shaper of Worlds," and chose the form that it uses to this day: an ivory male Skrull torso atop a metallic frustum and tractor treads for apparent mobility.
The Shaper of Worlds is an alien matter-energy construct with unknown, and potentially incalculable physical power. He has the ability to restructure finite pockets of reality and to alter the molecular configuration of persons and objects. He is also capable of intergalactic and interdimensional teleportation, and empathic perception. The Shaper's intelligence is immeasurable, but lacking a creative imagination, the Shaper must use the mind of another sentient being as a template for his transformations of worlds.

The Shaper has massive power, but he cannot actually create new worlds - after destroying a significant portion of the Skrull Empire, he deliberately limited the scope of his powers. He only rearranges the structure of an existing world to fit the template that has been requested by another. The alien can only create worlds if it has the dreams of another living being to use as a blueprint. These factors are often considered to be the greatest drawbacks to its powers.

It is his curse that he has a strong desire to make dreams come true, but does not have any dreams himself. He seeks out other beings that he senses have wishes he can fulfill. Only in this way can he find a release for his strong desire to shape reality. Glorian and Kubik are his protégés.

The Shaper of Worlds has fought the Hulk and the Fantastic Four. It was he who taught the Beyonder and the Molecule Man that they shared a common origin and merged them into the being known as Kosmos.
