History

The Quintessence was a was a group of five powerful entities- Ganthet (last of the Guardians of the Universe), Zeus, Highfather, the wizard Shazam, and a fifth alternately seen as the Phantom Stranger or the future son of Wonder Woman and Superman. The quintet chooses to observe the crucial events of the universe and, on occasion, choose to involve themselves at crucial junctures. The Quintessence has made errors, however, such as the creation of Gog.

They observed the events as the 5th Dimension erupted into a war on the Earth. (JLA v1 #29) They witnessed as the Justice League managed to stop the threat of Qwsp who intended to distort the third dimension and watched as his pawn Triumph was defeated. (JLA v1 #31) The Quintessence witnessed the events following the appointment of Hal Jordan as the new Spectre and wondered on the fate of Heaven following Asmodel's attempted rebellion.
