Within the fictional Warhammer 40,000 universe, the Emperor of Mankind created twenty Primarchs, superhumans akin to gods in their power. They were created to lead genetically-enhanced super-soldiers known as Space Marines in the Great Crusade to reunite the worlds of Man. The process of their creation was disrupted by the Chaos Gods, who cast the Primarchs' incubation chambers through time and space, each landing on different worlds.
As the Great Crusade progressed, the Emperor discovers each Primarch in turn. Each has grown to be a hero on their home planet. In other Games Workshop publications, two of the Primarchs are listed as having been "deleted from Imperial records"; further explanation has not yet been officially given for their absence from the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Each of the remaining 18 Primarchs is appointed to command the Space Marine Legion which is created from his particular gene-seed.
Physical Abilities
In novels and comic books the Space Marines are given a superhuman appearance. Their abilities, skills, and durability in these stories would make a single Space Marine squad capable of defeating a much larger force of almost any other group in Warhammer 40,000. Space Marines have an awe-inspiring presence when amongst the people of the Imperium, even the Imperial Guard, derived from their sheer size, armour, weaponry and their place as the God-Emperor's chosen warriors.
