It is a force that has infiltrated Kang's Capital City and sweeps over its skyline like a cloud of wrath... It is a force that engulfs and consumes... It is a force called Alioth the Usurper!
~ Description of Alioth

Alioth is a malevolent temporal entity from Marvel Comics. It appears to be a giant purple cloud with what a terrifying face on it. It mass destruction across everything that it touches, with the ability to travel across all of space and time. It has an empire that rivals the all-mighty Kang the Conqueror himself.

Background[]

Next to nothing is known about Alioth. It claims to be the supreme time being of the time-span prior to Kang's (approximately 2000bc-6000ad), stretching back to the dawn of life on Earth. It claims to be the first being to free itself from the timestream, presumably meaning to travel into Limbo, or to another time period.

Kang has claimed that it has only been though his efforts that Alioth has not taken over all time periods. Kang somehow managed to form a barrier to prevent Alioth from entering his portion of Limbo. Kang was rendered comatose in a battle with the Avengers and Fantastic Four (I believe this was the Citizen Kang saga). With Kang's defeat, his lover, Ravonna, aka the Terminatrix, used an image inducer to assume his form and took over his rule of Chronopolis. She began to explore the realm of Limbo and upon encountering a barrier, she blasted a hole in it to learn what was on the other side. This allowed Alioth to escape. She fled before its power, but Alioth soon traveled to and attacked the city of Chronopolis.

The Terminatrix, acting on assistance from her alternate future self, Revelation, revived Kang and informed him of Alioth's attack. Alioth invaded the Chamber of the Council of Cross-Time Kangs, slaying all present. Kang attempted to stop him, but was forced to flee to avoid his own absorption. Kang, along with the Terminatrix and Revelation, convinced the Avengers of Alioth's threat to their reality, gave them a Chrono Key, and sent them to battle Alioth. None of the Avengers power presented any threat to Alioth, so Thor activated the Chrono Key, which then assumed its true form, that of Tempus.

Tempus, initially the size of a hand-held figurine, absorbed the energy of the dead Council members and rapidly grew to enormous proportions. Having prevented Alioth from absorbing their energy, Tempus then attacked Alioth directly. Tempus continued to grow, feeding off of Alioth's own temporal energies until it reached reality wide proportions, creating the time barrier between Alioth's realm and Kang's. This barrier spread across the timestream, and is the same barrier originally encountered by the Terminatrix.

"Later" after his return from his second stint as Rama-Tut, Kang decided to take action against the other chronal rulers. He manipulated events to set the various organizations against each other. As part of this, Kang weakned Tempus slightly, allowing Alioth to break through into the realm of the Time Variance Authority, throwing them into turmoil.

Powers and Abilities[]

Alioth is what is referred to as a "trans-temporal entity". This means that he has the ability to exist across divergent timelines. Across these timelines, Alioth takes the form of a ginormous cloud with a monstrous face on it.

Alioth can cause destruction to all it's being touches and to causes massive temporal disturbance. This ultimately leads to massive devastation across many different dimensions. Alioth can extend it's "pseudopodia" to attack things, such as beings or locations, in order grow in size and mass. It mainly absorbed the bodies of time travelers who pass through it into its mass. Attempts of any sort to travel through Alioth will ultimately result in absorption of the being or object that tried to travel through it.

Upon arriving in a time period, Alioth will spread itself across realities ajacent to the period. Alioth also "negates" temporal energy. Thus prevents travel through it to any time before it exists.
