Exiles: Endless (Marvel;Re)

Exiles: Endless is an ongoing comic book series published under the Marvel;Re banner. This series is written by Jacky 50A and the only title in the line to not be a full-on reboot. Endless is a continuation of the older Exiles: New World series, which was part of the Marvel NEW initiative. The series abolishes the Reborn story arc that ran from Exiles: New World #15 and the D-Day Special, continuing the team's story with brand new story arcs. Due to Marvel;Re's reboot, Endless takes place in the new Multiverse, though it doesn't make much of a difference since the events of New World's past issues are also retconned to have taken place in the new Multiverse.

Plot
The Multiverse is a large place. That, may as well be an understatement. There are virtually an infinite amount of universes, timelines, and realities in existence, each of them home to different sagas. These universes don't tend to be in touch with one another, but when they do, there's no guarantee that good will come from these incursions. Not to mention if there are certain despots who wish to conquer other universes and throw off the Multiverse's balance. On the other hand, some inhabitants of a universe won't accept the destiny that has been set for them. That's when the Exiles come in.

The number of Exiles roaming around the Multiverse is virtually infinite. Aliens, mutants, robots, all put together in a reluctant assembly where they have to put aside all their differences and save universes from collapsing due to the acts of some who rebel against creation's balance. These merry bands are led by the enigmatic Timebroker, a powerful being who acts as their mission control. Well, at least until he was revealed to be nothing but an illusion created by bug-men. Strange, indeed.

Once, there was just a single Exiles. Well, not exactly one concrete team, but one that contained a rotating roster and kept on working for the Multiverse's greater good. Recently, a rather unauthorized incarnation, commissioned by someone named 'Nick Fury', saved reality from the threat of the Time-Eater. This pissed off the Watchers, but regardless, the Living Tribunal saw this as a justification for him to sanction the creation of 'official' Exiles to police the Multiverse. The first of these 'new' Exiles? Yeah, not quite the best one.

As an experiment and test bed for other Exiles to come, this new team has two Timebrokers and a more fixed roster. Their Timebrokers, a diminutive Watcher and a Kang who was once the Invisible Woman, have quite a particular party to attend to. A Captain America from the 16th Century, a Hulk who is literally a troll, a stern Captain Britain from an anti-Mutant Earth, a young Ghost Rider full of potential, an intergalactic peacekeeper from the 4th Millennium, and a Sorcerer Supreme who hasn't dabbled in the magical world as much as his extra-universal peers. They also had two godly beings on their side, but they died. Valiantly.

Now with new threats on the horizon, the Exiles must continue their quest in both saving the universe and proving themselves to be the most adequate form of defense the Multiverse has. They have their limitations, but for these brave men and women, the company they have within each other is enough, and nothing will stop them from setting things right.

The Exiles
The Exiles are not a single team of reality jumpers who travel from one world to another to correct the path of universes. In the previous Multiverse, there were an infinite amount of Exiles to handle the countless problems reality had at the time. In the current Multiverse, there's no telling if there are still legions of Exiles out there. For sure, only their founder, the Living Tribunal, knows how many Exiles there are operating as the Guardians of the Multiverse.

All Exiles teams (save for one) operate in the Panoptichron, which is also known by the name of the Crystal Palace. This crystalline structure of infinite size exists outside of time and space and built within the Multiversal network of the M'Kraan Crystal, which exists in every reality there is, was, and will be without exceptions. Ever since the first Exiles have been created, the Crystal Palace has been used as the headquarters of numerous Exiles with its numerous facilities which are constantly upgraded, renewed, and restored by the Living Tribunal himself when the Multiverse was restored from the dreadful Secret Wars.

Each Exiles team is designated by their serial numbers, which do not represent the order of their founding. The first Exiles, which have been retired from active duty, are designated in the Panoptichron as Exiles-Zero, owing to their origin. The new team which succeeds Exiles-Zero is Exiles-One, which is the primary protagonists of this series. Exiles-One, Two, and Eight are classified as the Prime Exiles due to their versatility and share the same mission pools, commissioned by the Tribunal.

Other Exiles outside of the aforementioned triumvirate are more specialized in other tasks. For example, Exiles-Four (Kyln's Guard) are assigned to guard the Multiversal prison known as the Kyln, which in turn is named after the universal prison for many intergalactic despots in many universes. Exiles-Five (Task Force Fury), on the other hand, are suited for morally-ambiguous missions and as such have no qualms killing 'innocents' for the safety of the Multiverse. There are many undiscovered Exiles out there and their missions don't tend to intersect. This means that meetings between Exiles are very rare unless they have to work together by the Tribunal's will.

Leaders of the Exiles are given a device called the Tallus which connects them with the teams' guides, best known as the Timebrokers. Each Tallus contains a fragment of the M'Kraan Crystal and allows telepathic communication between the leaders and the Timebrokers. The Tallus are also gateways to other universes and thanks to the upgrades done to it as of the new Exiles' founding, they can be used under the permission of the Timebrokers to travel to realities of known designations/names via teleportation. When this bracelet-like device is used, all the members of the Exiles that are recorded by the Paniptichron will be teleported near-instantaneously so they are not separated upon transportation.

The Exiles' line of duty is a lethal one and death is not an impossibility among their ranks. Deceased Exiles are unable to be resurrected, but this is more of a case of unwillingness and incapability. If a Timebroker recruits a past version of a certain deceased Exile, not only will the Exile die anyway due to their ultimate fate saying so, but the universe the Exile was plucked from will also begin to destabilize. Deceased Exiles are given a resting place in Lady Death's Realm but their corpses will be stored in the Stasis Gallery. Resurrections are possible, but recently, Lady Death has been rather unwilling to release the souls of dead Exiles recently, claiming their spirits as hers.

The war between worlds situation that is, the Exiles are dispatched to send these Symbiotes back home. Welcome to the Kyln: a prison built in the remains of the Battlerealm for the worst of the worst the Multiverse can offer. Floating through space six hundred and sixteen light years away from Battleworld, the Kyln shares only the name and concept with the other Kylns in the Multiverse. This inescapable prison is powered by thirty six Infinity Stones drawn from different universes and the Iso-Sphere, guarded by the remnants of Emperor Doom's Thor Corps and an elite host of guardians aptly named the Kyln's Guard, whose ranks are drawn from the Multiverse's finest. There has never been a successful prison break before, but a certain evil genius is about to prove how wrong such a statement is...
