====== Singularity ======
===== Part 1: The Dossier: An At-a-Glance Summary =====
  *   **In one bolded sentence, Singularity is a sentient, sapient pocket universe that manifested in a female humanoid form, becoming the heart and soul of Marvel's first all-female Avengers team, [[A-Force]].**
  *   **Key Takeaways:**
  * **A Universe Made Flesh:** Singularity is not a person who wields cosmic power; she **is** a conscious universe. Her body, composed of star-stuff and nebulae, is a gateway to the dimension she contains, allowing her to teleport, absorb energy, and store objects (and people) within herself. [[cosmic_entities]].
  * **The Catalyst for A-Force:** Her dramatic arrival on [[Battleworld]] during the //Secret Wars// (2015) event directly led to the formation of [[A-Force]]. Her subsequent re-emergence on the restored Earth-616 was the driving force for the team's reformation, cementing her status as its foundational member.
  * **Comic-Centric Character:** Singularity is a modern creation exclusive to the comics. She has **not appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU)**, but has featured in several video games, where her unique powers are adapted for gameplay. Her core story and development remain entirely within the Earth-616 continuity.
===== Part 2: Origin and Evolution =====
==== Publication History and Creation ====
Singularity made her first appearance in **`A-Force #1`**, published in May 2015 (cover date July 2015). She was co-created by writers **G. Willow Wilson** and **Marguerite Bennett**, and artist **Jorge Molina**. Her creation was intrinsically linked to Marvel's massive crossover event, //Secret Wars//, which completely reshaped the Marvel Universe.
The concept of [[A-Force]] was born from this event, designed to be Marvel's premier all-female super-team. The creators needed a unique catalyst to unite a diverse and powerful cast of heroines, including [[She-Hulk]], [[Captain Marvel]], and [[Medusa]]. Singularity was conceived as that catalyst—a character of immense power yet profound innocence, whose mysterious nature and vulnerability would provide the narrative and emotional glue for the team. Her visual design, a humanoid silhouette filled with a celestial starscape, immediately made her stand out and visually communicated her cosmic origins. Her introduction was part of a broader push by Marvel in the mid-2010s to introduce new, diverse, and compelling characters that reflected a modern readership.
==== In-Universe Origin Story ====
=== Earth-616 (Prime Comic Universe) ===
Singularity's origin is unlike that of almost any other hero; she was not born, she **arrived**. She is a self-aware, living pocket universe that, for reasons yet unknown, became sentient. Prior to her arrival, she existed as a complete cosmos. The cataclysmic multiversal collapse known as the //Incursions//, which led to the //Secret Wars// event, is the likely cause of her universe's "death" and her subsequent emergence into what remained of reality.
Her story began when she manifested as a meteor shower, crashing into Arcadia, the feminist utopian domain on [[Doctor Doom]]'s patchwork planet, [[Battleworld]]. Initially, she was a non-corporeal, non-verbal entity, a consciousness drifting in the debris. She observed the heroines of Arcadia—led by Baroness [[She-Hulk]]—and, seemingly drawn to their heroism and compassion, she began to mimic their bipedal form. She coalesced into a small, childlike humanoid shape, her body containing a swirling galaxy of stars.
Unable to speak, she communicated through empathy and action. She was quickly discovered and "adopted" by the members of A-Force, particularly [[Nico Minoru]], who formed an immediate, protective, sister-like bond with her. Singularity's innocence and immense, raw power made her both a great asset and a significant responsibility. During a massive zombie invasion from the neighboring Deadlands domain, Singularity demonstrated the true extent of her selflessness. To save her new friends and the entire island of Arcadia, she absorbed the entire zombie horde into her body and teleported away, seemingly sacrificing her own existence in a massive explosion of light.
However, Singularity did not die. Her consciousness was shattered and scattered across the remnants of the multiverse. When reality was eventually restored by [[Reed Richards]], Singularity began to coalesce once more. She fell to Earth-616, now the Prime Universe, but her friends from Battleworld had no memory of her or the events in Arcadia, as that reality had been erased. Alone and hunted by a new cosmic threat named Antimatter, Singularity sought out the heroes she once knew. She found Nico Minoru first, and through their powerful connection, began to reassemble her team. Her quest to reunite with her "sisters"—She-Hulk, Captain Marvel, Dazzler, and Medusa—and convince them of their shared past led to the official reformation of A-Force in the main Marvel continuity.
=== Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) ===
**Singularity has not yet appeared or been referenced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).** She remains a character whose story is currently exclusive to Marvel Comics and its direct adaptations in other media like video games.
However, the MCU's ongoing //Multiverse Saga// presents numerous narrative avenues for her potential introduction. An analysis of these possibilities suggests a few logical entry points:
  * **Post-//The Marvels// Cosmic Events:** With characters like [[Captain Marvel]] and [[Monica Rambeau]] deeply involved in multiversal and cosmic phenomena, Singularity could be introduced as a refugee from a dying universe, discovered during one of their missions. Her nature as a living universe would fit perfectly with the high-concept cosmic weirdness the MCU is embracing.
  * **Connection to [[America Chavez]]:** America Chavez's power is to punch star-shaped portals between universes. A visual and thematic link could be drawn between her powers and Singularity's physical form. Singularity could be a being America encounters in her travels, or perhaps even a being whose existence is threatened by the same forces that once hunted Chavez.
  * **Future //Secret Wars// Adaptation:** Should the MCU proceed with its own adaptation of the //Secret Wars// storyline, Singularity could be introduced in a role almost identical to her comic origin: a mysterious cosmic being who crashes on Battleworld and serves as the catalyst for uniting a team of female heroes, perhaps laying the groundwork for an MCU version of A-Force.
Any adaptation would likely retain her core visual design and powers of teleportation and energy absorption, as they are central to her identity. Her childlike innocence would also provide a unique character dynamic when contrasted with the more jaded, battle-hardened heroes of the MCU.
===== Part 3: Abilities, Equipment & Personality =====
=== Earth-616 (Prime Comic Universe) ===
Singularity's power set is vast, stemming directly from her nature as a sentient universe. She does not possess powers so much as she **is** power.
==== Powers and Abilities ====
  * **Pocket Universe Physiology:** Singularity's primary "power" is her very existence. Her humanoid body is a M-Body (Manifestation-Body) projection of a complete, living pocket dimension. This grants her a unique form of immortality; as long as her universe exists, she can likely reform her physical body even after catastrophic damage. Her body is composed of an unknown cosmic matter that resembles a starfield.
  * **Interdimensional Teleportation:** This is her most frequently used ability. Singularity can open portals from her body to teleport herself, her teammates, and even massive objects across vast distances, including between dimensions. She can essentially "pull" things into her universe and "expel" them at another location. This serves as A-Force's primary mode of transportation.
  * **Flight:** She can levitate and fly at high speeds, leaving a cosmic trail in her wake.
  * **Energy Projection:** She can project powerful concussive blasts of cosmic energy, often dark in color but immensely powerful, capable of staggering powerful foes.
  * **Matter & Energy Absorption/Storage:** As a living gateway to a universe, Singularity can absorb and contain nearly anything within herself. She has absorbed massive energy blasts, physical objects (including a dinosaur), and even hordes of zombies. The objects are stored harmlessly within her dimension until she chooses to release them. This makes her an incredible defensive asset.
  * **Superhuman Durability:** Her unique body is highly resistant to physical and energy-based attacks. While she can be "dispersed" by overwhelming force, she has shown the ability to reform herself.
  * **Shapeshifting (Limited):** While she almost always maintains her chosen star-flecked female form, she has demonstrated the ability to alter its shape and size, such as extending her limbs or creating energy constructs.
  * **Empathic Tracking:** She was able to locate her former A-Force teammates on the new Earth-6
