Biography
The Shaper of Worlds was a powerful cosmic being that inhabited the universe. The entity was originally a Cosmic Cube with him being created ages ago at the hands of the Skrull civilization. They had developed into a highly advanced people long before the rise of life on Earth with them seeking a device that could bend the fabric of reality. The Skrull Emperor appropriated the device from the scientists and declared himself a god with him ruling in this manner for years. After years of use, the Cube began to change with it being influenced by the Emperor's personality and develop itself into his image. Thus, the Shaper of Worlds was formed with it knowing only the power mad psychology of the Emperor and lashing out where it twisted or destroyed multiple star systems. This resulted into two-thirds of the Skrull galaxy sending their empire back into an age of barbarism before the cube attained maturity. (Captain America Annual v1 #7)
The Shaper created a replica of Earth in the Microverse. On this alternate Earth the Nazis had invaded the United States of America. The Hulk arrived on the world when he was shrinking through the Microverse. Battling the Nazis, the Hulk learned the truth about the Shaper. The Hulk confronted him and told him that he would deal with him once the fantasy was over. Hulk then teamed up with the alternate United States Army and turned the tides of the war. He found Dr. Otto Kronsteig, a former Nazi scientist who was banished to the Microverse by Doctor Doom, and was currently the subject whom the Shaper was shaping fantasies from. When Otto began to doubt the Shaper's promises, the Shaper appeared to him and reminded Otto that while he had the power to turn fantasy into reality, he was devoid of imagination, and as such sought out other beings to make their fantasies manifest, and that the only way the Hulk could win this battle was through Otto's doubting mind. Otto then became Captain Axis, but the Hulk's power was too much, and he once again began to doubt himself. The Shaper came to the Hulk, furious at him for having ruined the illusion, and decided to manifest the Hulk's fantasies into reality instead; however, when the Shaper created illusions of his friends on Earth, as well as the late Jarella, the Hulk lashed out, knowing that they were not the real thing, and renouncing the gifts the Shaper had offered. Unable to appease the stubborn Hulk, the Shaper of Worlds sent him back on his way, resuming his reduction in size. Having become exhausted after this most recent bout, the Shaper decided to leave his microworld creation, and all its inhabitants behind, to reflect on everything that he has encountered. (Incredible Hulk v1 #155)
The Shaper next decided that he could not live forever and, understanding the latent psionic potential of Earthlings, took one of them as his apprentice: Thomas Gideon, now known as Glorian. (Fantastic Four v1 #137)
