The Elders of the Universe are a group of supervillains appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The Collector was the first Elder to appear, and featured in The Avengers #28 (May 1966),[1] but the idea that he was a member of a group known as the Elders was not introduced until The Avengers #174 (Aug. 1978).
