Adapted from the comics of its creator, Jack Kirby, and whose story goes back millions of years, the movie focuses on people who have superpowers by changing their genetics by cosmic beings called Celestials. But with the creation of the Deviants, who were also a ferocious race, two separate races emerged that would have been in conflict with each other throughout history.
