Living Tribunal is the one who protects the multiverse from an imbalance. He is a very vast and powerful cosmic entity. And is the single one for the whole multiverse. It can act to prevent one universe from gathering more power than any of the others or from disturbing the cosmic balance in some or another way. The only one to guide Living Tribunal is One-Above-All. He is an omnipotent entity said to have created the Marvel Multiverse. According to Forge’s understanding, mutants living on these alternate Earths have lost all their powers due to M-Day. It was also said in Endangered Species about the same. But, this mass depowering can not be seen in any of Marvel’s current alternate reality publications. This includes Exiles, the Ultimate titles, Amazing Spider-Girl, the Marvel Adventures titles, or GeNext. Although there is a high possibility that the issue of time may be related to their exclusion. This was actually revised during the “X-Men: Messiah Complex” storyline. In this, Forge said that all mutants in possible future timelines were depowered. But this was not the case for all parallel universes. And, To add to this, the observation made by A.R.M.O.R. says something more. According to A.R.M.O.R.’s observation, Lyra has arrived from an alternate reality.
