The Living Tribunal

A cosmic character called The Living Tribunal may be found in American comic books produced by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Stan Lee, Marie Severin, and Herb Trimpe and debuted in Strange Tales #157 (June 1967). The Marvel Comics Multiverse is comprised of all the parallel worlds and the main reality, which are all under the control and balance of the Living Tribunal. He acts as a judge over these truths.

The Living Tribunal ensures that the proportion of good over evil in the multiverse does not alter in any way. If he believes doing so will preserve a magical equilibrium that exists across the cosmos, he has the power to wipe off whole planets. Thanks to writer, penciler, and inker Jim Steranko and letterer Sam Rosen, The Living Tribunal had its comic book debut in Strange Tales.

The faces of the Living Tribunal, who must gather to make any judgments, show three different animals. The three faces stand for justice, necessity, and recompense. He lets the abstract creatures of those worlds manage problems that arise when the balance of good and evil falls out of whack when they don't affect other realities.
