The Illuminati are a fictional secret society group of superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The characters joined forces and secretly work behind the scenes. The Illuminati was established to exist (via story retcon) in their first published appearance in New Avengers #7 (July 2005),[1] written by Brian Michael Bendis. Their history was discussed in the special New Avengers: Illuminati (May 2006).[2] The group was revealed to have been formed very shortly after the Kree–Skrull War.[3]
The Illuminati appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
