However, for the same reason Order and Chaos could kill the Living Tribunal, they couldn't stop Galactus from fighting back his transformation. They attempted to turn Galactus back to his world-devourer form. Master Order and Lord Chaos took this council to heart, and murdered the Tribunal in order to take his place as the personification of multiversal law. The Tribunal ruled in Galactus' favor and allowed him to remain in his new form, claiming that the universe being in a new iteration meant the cosmic hierarchy wasn't established anew. They eventually put Galactus on trial before the Living Tribunal. įollowing the restoration of the universe after the Secret Wars, Lord Chaos along with Master Order became disgruntled by Galactus' evolution from a force of destruction to a force of creation. ĭuring the Time Runs Out storyline, the Beyonders are revealed to have killed Lord Chaos, Master Order, and the In-Betweener as part of destroying abstract entities in each reality across the multiverse. In Infinity Crusade it is learned that they must obey the dictates of Eternity and Infinity. Lord Chaos and Master Order were next seen among a group of abstract beings questioning the Beyonder from the Dimension of Manifestations. The congress of abstract beings then witnessed Adam Warlock's cosmic trial to determine his worthiness to wield the Infinity Gauntlet. With the other abstract beings, they battled Thanos, and then battled Nebula when she obtained the Gauntlet from Thanos. They chose to join Adam Warlock and the other cosmic deities in a bid to stop Thanos. Lord Chaos and Master Order participated in the congress of metaphysical and abstract beings to determine Thanos' fitness to wield the Infinity Gauntlet. Lord Chaos and Master Order also attend the funeral of Eon and speak with cosmic hero Quasar. They imprisoned the In-Betweener for his transgressions. Lord Chaos and Master Order were then summoned by the Silver Surfer to regain control over their servant the In-Betweener. Lord Chaos and Master Order next conspired with other metaphysical and "omnipotent" beings against the Beyonder.

Lord Chaos and Master Order were then seen observing King of the Norse Gods Odin and master villain Dormammu play a cosmic game of chess. The pair are rarely seen, but appear to manipulate events to prompt Spider-Man to solicit the Thing to join the Avengers and Warlock in the first war against the Titan Thanos and defeat him. Lord Chaos is an abstract entity that embodies disarray and confusion and is the opposing force to "brother" entity Master Order. The character first appeared in Marvel Two-In-One Annual #2 (1977), and was created by Jim Starlin.
