Infinity Wars': Who Is Requiem?

Marvel Comics’ next big summer event is almost here, and it is following up on a giant one-two punch of a mystery and cliffhanger following the events of Infinity Wars Prime #1. Infinity Wars, written by Gerry Duggan and drawn by Mike Deodato Jr. will follow the gather of the Infinity Stones on Earth as forces, both benevolent and nefarious, seek to control their immense power. This builds naturally on the buzz surrounding blockbuster smash hit of Avengers: Infinity War in which Thanos successfully built his Infinity Gauntlet and ended half of all life. Yet the question on every comics fans’ lips isn’t about Thanos or the Infinity Stones, rather it is: Who is Requiem?

Before we dive into answering the question of who this cloaked, goggle-wearing cosmic adventurer might be, there is some essential background to be explored. A lot of other events have built to the revelation of Requiem and their role in Infinity Wars. It is likely that they have appeared elsewhere and have already had some hand in events so far.
