Through the latest trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness during the Super Bowl, many fans assumed that Illuminati will make its debut. This is reinforced by the appearance of the ruler of Attilan, Black Bolt, who will make his first debut in the MCU in the second Doctor Strange film. Reportedly, this Black Bolt is a variant of one of the multiverse in collaboration with the Illuminati.

There are also Marvel fans who don't understand what the Illuminati group is and who the members of the group are. In the comic books, the Illuminati has actually been introduced for quite a long time. Here is a little explanation about the Illuminati in the Marvel universe that you should know.

The History of the Illuminati in the Marvel Universe

The Illuminati is one of the organizations that is considered controversial in almost all parts of the world, not only in Indonesia. Just imagine, how could an organization that moves in the shadows, is believed to be able to influence world leaders to do what they want.

Another controversial side, the Illuminati usually often intersect with sensitive matters such as religion, politics, and the economy. But fortunately, what Marvel Comics has to offer is not that complicated.

In the Marvel universe, the Illuminati were first introduced in New Avengers comic #7, published in July 2005 by Brian Michael Bendis. Its history was first discussed in the May 2006 issue of the New Avengers: Illuminati-themed special. The group was founded shortly after the Kree-Skrull War depicted in Avengers numbers 89 to 97 from 1971 to 1972.

Unlike other superhero groups in the Marvel universe, the Illuminati group actually moves under the shadows. This was done to prevent any intruders, after the battle between the Kree and Skrull that occurred on Earth and almost destroyed everything. The Illuminati is considered a protective pillar in the superhero world, where the heroes work together in secret from time to time.

The goal of the Illuminati is none other than to keep Earth safe. Even the members in this group are also quite unique, because they represent each of each race. Like Namor which represents Atlantis and also the antihero mindset or mindset. Iron Man represents the Avengers and ordinary humans, without any superpowers. Black Bolt represents the Inhumans race and the perspective of a leader.
