History

Demons from Uncanny X-Men Vol 2 13 0001

Dominating the Planet

Evolution stopped[]

A billion years ago, the Demon Lords of Stasis ruled their planet with an iron fist. Their worst fear being Progress, they performed a great rite in order to stop the planet's evolution.

Phoenix Messiah & Lights

The Messiah and the Lights[]

The rite proved to be effective, until the emerging of the Phoenix Messiah who gathered five acolytes, the Lights. All of them were powered beings, but their origins are unknown.

Together, they waged rebellion against the Lords of Stasis, and at last, the Phoenix Force came to them, and they communed, although the Demon Lords fought to prevent that union from happening.

Burned by the Phoenix

Evolution restarted[]

The spell was broken by the Five and One and the Phoenix Force, and the Demons were swept away.

The whole history was witnessed by the alien peace-keeping robot Unit, who intended to witness a billion years later a variant of that story by observing Hope Summers, the Mutant Messiah, without her own Lights.[1]

Notes

As the Phoenix Messiah, the five acolytes, and the "great rite" to stop Evolution are respectively counterparts to Hope Summers, the Lights, and M-Day; the Demon Lords of Stasis are seemingly those of Wanda Maximoff who stopped the evolution by her "no more mutants" spell, and of the Avengers who tried to prevent the Phoenix Messiah from communing with the Phoenix Force.
