The HIGH EVOLUTIONARY Created MUTANTS to Stop the Celestials?
The High Evolutionary was right? The villain of Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 is easily the most evil baddie in the MCU...but WHY is he so hellbent on destruction and perfection? We think that he sees himself as a counter t the other great genocidal force in the universe--the Celestials. And to fight them, he created mutants in the MCU

#HighEvolutionary #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy3
I have been doing some deep thinking about the High Evolutionary, and I’ve had some realizations that make me view this villain in a whole new light. He still has a place in the MCU’s multiverse saga that involves mutants, celestials, and the multiverse saga. He might even be key in defeating Kang the Conqueror.
I also think that, despite being a genocidal megalomaniac with a god complex–he might have had the universe’s best interest at heart.
Doug: So was he right?
Ehhhh…no matter what it says in the thumbnail, this guy is pure evil. Probably the most evil villain we’ve ever seen in the MCU. On top of experimenting on animals and murdering Lyla, he kept children in cages and by his own admission, has committed genocide a number of times. So he was not right about all those things.
But I think that there’s more to the High Evolutionary than we thought. You have to look a little deeper and ask yourself why he’s doing the things. The movie made me wonder–why is he doing those things? What happened in his past that made him so obsessed with perfection. Ws star lord right when he says [mom didn't love him enough]. Or was he the victim of a great celestial tragedy?
I think we got a big hint about why he’s so obsessed with Earth–and if we’re right, this explains why he was left alive at the end of the movie–because, like rocket, he is part of a larger story that is being told.
Yo see, the high evolution is tied to two major components of the MCU going forward: mutants and the celestials.
Doug: But he’s dead.
Dude, 100%--the High Evolutionary survived his ship exploding. They make a point to spare him, and you don't waste a performance like Chuckwudi Iwuji on an offscreen death. So he is going to appear again. The question we should be asking ourselves is WHY the High Evolutionary was so hellbent on creating the perfect, peaceful race–for starters, why Earth?
The High Evolutionary not only visited Earth–but he liked it so much that he used it as a template to create a perfect society. Does that seem…weird to anyone else? Listen to what he says [your bigotry, ec]. He’s describing Earth like it’s kind of a shithole, isn’t he?
Now in the comics, he created a counter Earth for an obvious reason: he is from Earth–he’s a scientist named Herbert Wyndham.
Doug: Herbert?
Herbert.
Doug: I just can't imagine this guy being a herbert.
Probably why they changed his name. And, he was actually born in the 1800s–in the 1920s he did early genetics work with a scientist named Nathaniel Essex–the mutant Mr. Sinister in the comics. The High Evolutionary becomes obsessed with creating a perfectly evolved society on Earth–his home world. This is why he created a counter Earth, which sat on the exact opposite side of the sun.
Counter Earth was like a control experiment. The High Evolutionary was trying to create a utopia with a perfectly evolved race–so he could then replicate the experiment on his home planet. But in the movies, why replicate Earth? Why visit Earth to begin with?
First of all, I think it’s possible that he was on Earth a very long time ago. I think this guy is thousands of years old. He says that he’s destroyed his civilizations many times in the past. He learned how to master gravity, so I’m sure he figured out how to perform a few organ transplants and moisturize. After all, he would have to live for a long time to see his grand vision through to the end.
So this dude could have been on Earth for centuries. Meaning that his history with the marvel cinematic universe could go back even further than Thor. If that's the case, maybe he came to Earth when we were still living in caves. And maybe he started tinkering with humanity’s gees back then. He could even be responsible for the creation of mutants in the MCU–but more in that in a bit.
