 The '''RACelestials''' (sometimes spelled '''RACCelestials''') are cosmic beings of mysterious purpose who watch over [[Usenet]] and the rec.arts.comics.* hierarchy.

And in an alternate universe visited by [[Particle Man]], the RACelestials judged the LNH a waste of bandwidth and devastated their world, and most of the Legion died in battle against them.
