Ego is a brick-built non-playable character in LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.
Background
Comics
Ego once told Thor that he was the result of a scientist merging with a planet when that planet's sun went nova.
Ego began absorbing space vessels and even other worlds to survive, planning interstellar conquest. This behavior attracts the attention of the Rigellian Colonizers, who fear that the nearby Ego will consume their home-world. They recruit the Thunder God Thor to defeat Ego. Accompanied by a Rigellian Recorder, Thor encounters Ego, who vows never to leave the Black Galaxy and renounced its plans of conquest, feeling humiliated by his defeat. Several months later, a weakened Galactus invades Ego's space and seeks to replenish his energy by consuming Ego. Thor aids Ego in battling Galactus, and drives Galactus off. In gratitude Ego allows its surface to become the new home of the Wanderers, a group of various alien races whose planets had been the very first to be devoured by Galactus billions of years ago.

He is a mysterious adventurer from far parts of the galaxy who has heard the legend of the Guardians of the Galaxy following the Battle of Xandar and has come to meet them for the first time.
