The world of Marvel is full of people who have special abilities like flight, strength, super speed, and more. But there are only a few who have the power to wreck the reality and multiverse. They are known as Nexus Beings in the Marvel Universe. They can influence the flow of time and probability to alter the future. There have been a few events where the Nexus beings caused huge shifts in the multiverses. A few believe that every universe has one Nexus being.
According to Marvel Comics, Nexus Beings are very powerful and can cause temporal changes in the timeline. They can destroy the Time Keepers. As a result of the damage done by the Nexus Beings, Uatu the Watcher was forced to join the Time Variance Authority and preserve the timeline.

WandaVision explored the real capabilities of Wanda Maximoff and there is a lot more left to be seen. And now Doctor Strange 2 might establish her as a Nexus Being.

Because of his countless adventures across time, the character has lived through the millennium and has various identities and reincarnations.

Sise-Neg is a sorcerer from the 31st Century of Earth-74113. In that place, mankind has become an expert in wielding magic and has drained the Earth of the limited mystic energy. Sise-Neg advised a time-traveling way to get more mystic powers and goes back in history when magic forces were created. He absorbs all these powers through time and he crosses paths with Doctor Strange’s nemesis, Baron Mordo after he finds a way to travel back in time and steal magic in Sise-Neg’s writings. But after siphoning powers off Shuma-Gorath, Sise-Neg attains some wisdom to alter reality and leave the universe like it is.
5. Merlyn
Merlyn was also a sorcerer and wizard and is an iconic character in the Marvel Universe and served as the Sorcerer Supreme once.
