They were created by\nJack Kirby\n, making their first appearance in\nThe Eternals\n#1 (July 1976).\n[\n1\n]\nIn the\nMarvel Universe\n, the Eternals are an offshoot of humanity known as\nHomo immortalis\nwhich were created one million years ago by the enigmatic\nalien\nCelestials\nto defend Earth with their superhuman powers and abilities. Their primary adversaries are the\nDeviants\n, who share a similar origin and pose a regular threat to humanity. Due to their virtual immortality, Eternals have largely secluded themselves from humans, with their god-like status forming the basis of various mythological figures around the world.\nSince their appearance, the Eternals have had several of their own series, in addition to crossing into other titles, such as\nThor\nand\nX-Men\n.\n[\n2\n]\n[\n3\n]\nThey made their live action film debut in the\nMarvel Cinematic Universe\nwith their own feature film\nEternals\n, directed by\nChloé Zhao\n, which was released November 5, 2021.\n[\n4\n]\nPublication history\n[\nedit\n]\nIn 1970, Jack Kirby left Marvel Comics to work at\nDC Comics\n, where he began the saga of the\nNew Gods\n, an epic story involving mythological and science fiction concepts. Though he had planned for a definitive ending, the series was abruptly cancelled. Upon his return to Marvel, Kirby continued exploring his interest in mythological science fiction through\nThe Eternals\n.\n[\n5\n]\nOriginally titled \"The Celestials\", Marvel changed the title to \"Return of the Gods\", whose comic book cover bore stylistics similarities to\nErich von Daniken\n's book\nChariots of the Gods?\n. To avoid potential legal issues, the name was again changed to “Eternals\".\n[\n6\n]\nThe Eternals' saga was thematically similar to the New Gods' and it shared the same fate: Kirby's new series also was eventually canceled without resolving many of its plots.\n[\n7\n]\n[\n8\n]\n[\n9\n]\nWriters\nRoy Thomas\nand\nMark Gruenwald\nused the Eternals in a\nThor\nstoryline that concluded in\nThor\n#301,\n[\n10\n]\nresolving those lingering plotlines. Subsequent to the\nThor\nstoryline, the Eternals (and the mythology connected to them) have appeared or been mentioned in numerous Marvel comics.\n[\n9\n]\n[\n7\n]\nIn particular, the Celestials' experiment on humanity has been used to explain how certain humans can develop super-powers. The\nTitanians\n(created by\nJim Starlin\n) and\nUranians\n(created by\nStan Lee\n)\n[\n11\n]\nwere later\nretconned\nas being Eternals as well.\n[\n12\n]\n[\n9\n]\nThe Eternals\nreturned for a 12-issue\nminiseries\nin 1985 under writer\nPeter B. Gillis\nand penciler\nSal Buscema\n.\n[\n7\n]\n[\n13\n]\n[\n14\n]\nAccording to comic-book historian\nPeter Sanderson\n, \"editor in chief\nJim Shooter\ndisliked Gillis's scripts, so\nWalter Simonson\nwrote the final four issues.\"\n[\n15\n]\nIn 2000, a one-shot comic called\nNew Eternals: Apocalypse Now\n#1 featured an older conflict between the Eternals and X-Men villain Apocalypse. In 2003, writer\nChuck Austen\nand artist\nKev Walker\nrebooted the franchise for Marvel's mature readers-focused MAX imprint, resulting in\nThe Eternal\n.\n[\n7\n]\n[\n16\n]\nThe Eternal\nseries from Marvel's\nMAX\nimprint written by\nChuck Austen\nwas based on an idea he had been working on for a while: \"I pitched this back when I first started working at Marvel, but Joe Quesada was against doing it. He saw no future in this particular old Kirby concept.\" Austen described the plot as involving \"Ikaeden, the leader of the Eternals, who arrives on Earth at the dawn of man, and evolves humankind from\nHomo erectus\nso he can use them as slaves to mine raw materials for the Celestials, his bosses, basically,\" as well as \"Kurassus, who is the second-in-command of the mining mission, and who is determined to undermine Ikaeden and kill Ikaeden's precious slave-girl and son.\"\n[\n17\n]\nIn an interview with\nNewsarama\nhe gave an outline of his planned plot:\nIn this version, we take some of the concepts from [the original series] and build around them, throwing away some stuff and keeping others. We're actually going back in time to see Ikaris birth and development on Earth, meet his parents, and then move forward into contemporary time. When we get to contemporary time, the Celestials return to judge Earth, but there's no fifty-year 'study and evaluation period.' We've already been judged and found wanting, too violent to be allowed to flourish and spread, and Ikaris and the others have to stop the Celestials, who consider us their property, from destroying the entire planet as they have done to many others, including another in the\nSolar System\n.\n[\n18\n]\nPlanned as an ongoing series,\n[\n17\n]\nit was cancelled after six issues.\n[\n19\n]\nNeil Gaiman\n,\n[\n20\n]\n[\n21\n]\nwith artist\nJohn Romita, Jr.\n,\n[\n22\n]\ncreated a 2006 miniseries, which helped bring the Eternals' role in the modern Marvel Universe up-to-date.\n[\n23\n]\nSolicited as a six-issue series, an extra issue was added to the run, because, according to editor\nNick Lowe\n, \"There was too much story to fit into the structure we set for ourselves. Neil was starting issue five and told me that he might need a seventh issue. He just had too much story to fit in six issues (even with the first and sixth double-sized).\"\n[\n24\n]\nA fourth\nEternals\nseries ran as an\nongoing series\nfor nine issues and one annual from August 2008 – March 2009.\nThe Eternals returned in\nJason Aaron\n's\nAvengers\n, a story arc involving the Dark\nCelestials\n, which saw the Eternals all killed in the fourth issue. However, the characters were resurrected in their new ongoing series launched in January 2021 by writer\nKieron Gillen\nand artist\nEsad Ribić\n.\n[\n9\n]\n[\n25\n]\nWhen the\nCelestials\nvisited Earth 1,000,000 years ago and performed genetic experiments on early\nproto-humans\n, they created two divergent races: the long-lived Eternals, and the genetically unstable and monstrously grotesque\nDeviants\n. These experiments also led to the capacity for super-powered\nmutations\nin humans. They also performed this experiment on other planets (such as the\nKree\nand\nSkrull\nhomeworlds) with similar results.\nDespite looking human, Eternals are\nmuch longer-lived\n(but were not originally fully\nimmortal\n), and that kept them from having much contact with their human cousins. Eternals have a low birth rate; they can interbreed with humans but the result is always a normal human (although\nThena\n's son, Joey Athena seems to have become an Eternal with long-lived properties and powers).\n[\n26\n]\nDespite this, the Eternals have in general protected the human race, especially from the Deviants, with whom they have always had an enmity. The Eternals also developed advanced technology.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nLong ago, a civil war broke out amongst the Eternals over whether to conquer the other races, with one faction led by Kronos and the other by his warlike brother, Uranos. Kronos's side prevailed, and Uranos and his defeated faction left Earth and journeyed to Uranus where they built a colony. Some of Uranos's group soon tried to return to Earth to re-kindle the war, but they were attacked by a passing Kree ship and forced to land on Saturn's moon\nTitan\n. There they built another colony (experiments performed by Kree scientists on a captured Eternal led them to go to\nEarth\nand perform their genetic experiments on a group of humans, thus creating the\nInhumans\n).\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nOne day, Kronos's experiments in cosmic energy caused a catastrophic release of energy throughout the Eternals' city, Titanos, destroying it, activating latent genes in the Eternals, and disintegrating the scientist's body. The Eternals now found they could channel large quantities of cosmic energy themselves, granting them near-godlike power. The accident left Kronos in an\nimmaterial\nstate, so a new leader had to be chosen. For the first time, the Eternals merged into a single being, the Uni-Mind, to decide which of Kronos's sons,\nZuras\nor\nA'lars\nshould be the new leader. Zuras was chosen to be the Prime Eternal, and A'lars chose to leave Earth to avoid causing another civil war and journeyed to Titan.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nThere he found that a war (allegedly caused by the\nDragon of the Moon\n) had erupted on Titan and wiped out all but one member, a woman named\nSui-San\n. A'lars fell in love with her, and in time they repopulated Titan. Due to the mix of activated genes from A'lars and unactivated ones from Sui-San, these new Titanian Eternals are not as powerful or immortal as Terran Eternals, but are more powerful and longer-lived than the earlier pre-civil war Titanian Eternals.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nWhile Zuras ruled, three new Eternal cities were built. The first was Olympia, located in the mountains of Greece, near the main portal between the Earth dimension and the\nOlympians'\nhome dimension, which led many ancient Greeks to confuse some of the godlike Eternals with members of the Olympian pantheon. Eventually, an agreement was reached with the gods where some Eternals, such as Thena, would impersonate the Olympians before their worshipers. The other two Eternal cities were Polaria (located in Siberia) and Oceana (in the Pacific).\n[\ncitation needed\n]\n18,000 years ago, the Celestials returned to Earth. The Deviants attacked them, but the Celestials counterattacked, resulting in the sinking of\nMu\nand\nAtlantis\n, and much worldwide havoc. The Eternals helped rescue many humans. An Eternal named\nValkin\nwas entrusted by the Celestials with an artifact of great power for safekeeping.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nAt some point during the early centuries,\nIkaris\nand the Eternals came into conflict with the immortal mutant,\nApocalypse\n. This conflict ended when Ikaris and the Eternals defeated him. Ikaris believed Apocalypse was dead.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\n1,000 years ago, the\nAsgardian\ngod\nThor\nencountered some Eternals, but the encounter was erased from his mind, to prevent him from learning about the Celestials, who were about to return to Earth. An Eternal named\nAjak\nbecame the Celestials' spokesperson, and put himself to sleep when the Celestials left, to wait for their return 1,000 years later to judge humanity.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nDuring the early 20th century, a human scientist made contact with the Uranian Eternals and was taken to live with them along with his young son, who would later become\nMarvel Boy\n.\n[\n27\n]\nThe Uranians were eventually killed by\nDeathurge\n.\n[\n28\n]\nAfter World War II, some Eternals allied with humans and Deviants to form the Damocles Foundation, which tried to create a new breed of superhuman to rule Earth.\n[\n29\n]\nSome Eternals, such as\nMakkari\n, were also active as\nsuperheroes\n, or living amongst humans, keeping their true nature hidden. The Eternals also helped to move the Inhumans' city to the Himalayas to keep it hidden.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nAt some point,\nThanos\nof the Eternals of Titan nearly destroyed their colony, but they rebuilt it, and would help Earth's heroes to oppose him on several occasions.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nIn recent times, Ikaris met the archaeologist Daniel Damian and his daughter Margo, and accompanied them into an old Eternal city in the Andes, where he awakened Ajak. Ajak began the process to receive the Celestials. These movements alerted the Deviants, who decided to attack New York and to provoke fear in the humans against the coming celestials.\n[\n30\n]\nWhen the Celestials returned to judge the worthiness of their creations a few years ago, the Eternals found themselves clashing with the Deviants again, and decided to publicly reveal their existence to humanity.\n[\n31\n]\nZuras feared what would happen if the Celestials judged unfavorably. They encountered Thor again, and were attacked by Thor's father\nOdin\nand the Olympian gods, who tried to prevent their interfering with the gods' plans to attack the Celestials. Eventually, the Eternals decided to help the gods and formed a Uni-Mind to assist the\nDestroyer's\nassault on the Celestials.\n[\n32\n]\nThey were forced to dissolve back into Eternals by the Celestials, and the shock of the attack killed Zuras. Before his spirit fully left the material plane, he instructed his daughter Thena to take his people to explore space. Since then, the Eternals have helped Earth's heroes, particularly the\nAvengers\n, against several menaces. They also discovered the existence of the Titanian Eternals.\n[\n33\n]\nSome time later, the Deviant's aristocracy, led by Brother Tode, attacked Olympia, kidnapping the Eternals and intending to disintegrate them. The hero\nIron Man (James Rhodes)\nrescued the Eternals and helped them defeat the deviants. Then the Eternals transformed the deviant's aristocracy into a synthetic cube, killing them.\n[\n34\n]\nThe Eternals formed a Uni-Mind to discuss their future on earth, after which most of the Eternals (led by Valkin), went to the stars. But a handful – those most heavily involved in Earthly affairs – remained behind on Earth.\n[\n35\n]\nThena came to lead the remaining Eternals but she wasn't very respected by her subjects.\n[\n36\n]\nWith the ascension of Priestlord Ghaur as leader of the Deviants, the Eternals joined the Avengers in defeating him after he absorbed the power of a Celestial and tried to gain godhood. Meanwhile, Ikaris questioned Thena for her poor choices as leader of the Eternals. She was subtly being controlled by a brain mine put in her by\nKro\n. After a special ceremony, Ikaris succeeded her as leader of the Earth's Eternals. The lover of Ikaris, Margo Damian, was captured by Ghaur's minions and was killed as a result of a Deviant experiment on her.\n[\n37\n]\nAfter the death of his daughter, Daniel Damian decided to take revenge against the Deviants and the Eternals. With the help of ancient Eternal machines, he forged a prophecy to incite war between the two races and transformed Ajak in a murderous monster. When his plan was discovered by the Eternals, Ajak reverted to his original form and regretted the killings that he had committed, so he killed Damian and himself.\n[\n38\n]\nThe Eternals Gilgamesh\n[\n39\n]\nand Sersi briefly became part of the Superhero team Avengers.\n[\n40\n]\nWhen Sersi became sick with the\nMahd Wy'ry\ndisease, a uncurable degenerating Eternal disease, Ikaris and other Eternals tried to bring her to Olympia and perform a rite of Cleansing. Sersi rejected the idea, on the basis that the ritual was designed to kill the infected Eternal, and solicited his family to perform  the\nGann Josin\nbond between her and her lover the\nBlack Knight\n. Ikaris was furious and performed the bond without consent of the Knight.\n[\n41\n]\nLater Thena and other Eternals helped the Avengers in the battle against  the Gatherers and Proctor, who was an alternate Black Knight and who infected Sersi with the\nMahd Wy'ry\ndisease for spite.\n[\n42\n]\nThe Eternals fought once more against Ghaur and the Deviants, with the help of the\nHeroes for Hire\n. The mad priest tried to form an\nAnti-Mind\nwith some captured eternals, to defeat any invasion of the Celestials.\n[\n43\n]\nLater they were at odds with Apocalypse and briefly posed  as a superhero team called\nthe New Breed\n.\n[\n44\n]\nCover of\nNew Eternals: Apocalypse Now\n#1 (February 2000) by\nJoe Bennett\nMemory loss and the Dreaming Celestial\n[\nedit\n]\nThe Eternals began reappearing on Earth in\nNeil Gaiman\n's new take on the immortal beings. Most seemed to have no memory of their own history and abilities, except Ikaris, and few records of their previous appearances remain. The Eternal known as\nSprite\n, angered at having to remain an eleven-year-old and unable to grow any further, managed to change reality, inducing collective amnesia in the Eternals as well as distorting their perceptions of history. He used a Uni-Mind with the\nDreaming Celestial\nand other unwilling eternals to achieve his desire, transforming himself in a mortal 11 years old kid.\n[\n45\n]\nThis can possibly be seen as Gaiman's attempt to\nretcon\nsome details of the characters; early stories as well as\nofficially published statistics\nportrayed most of the current generation of Eternals – such as Ikaris and Thena – as being \"only\" several tens of thousands of years old but Gaiman's run describes them as being closer to a million years old.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nMakkari\nwas working as a medicine intern, Sersi was planning to kickstart her party planner business. Meanwhile, Thena was working as a weapons scientist in\nStark Industries\n. She was also married and had a young son. Druig was apparently alive again and he was the Deputy minister of Vorozheika (a fictional post-soviet country). Ikaris contacted Makkari, but he did not believe the eternal's words about the past and rejected him.\n[\n46\n]\nThen, Makkari met Sersi again, become attracted to her and accompanied her to a party that she was organizing for Druig of Vorozheika. Thena assisted too. In the party, the amnesic Eternals are attacked by mercenaries of another faction of Vorozheika government. The reunion of the four Eternals triggered a recovery of their powers. Ikaris was captured by two deviants and they were experimenting in ways of destroy his body, until that they seemingly killed him with a particle accelerator.\n[\n47\n]\nHowever, Ikaris was resurrected by a special machine in the Antarctic base of the Eternals. With their returned powers, Druig took control of Vorozheika. Thena frees herself from the mercenaries that captured her and Makkari went to talk to Sprite, who now was a young celebrity. Sprite trapped the amnesic Eternal and told him  his plans and the reasons why he did the reality changes.\n[\n48\n]\nVariant cover of\nThe Eternals\n(vol. 5) #2 (February 2021) by\nJamie McKelvie\nIt was uncovered that Ajak had been revived too and that it had been he who contracted the two Deviants. He succeeded in awakening an amnesic Zuras. The two Deviants managed to kidnap Sprite, and the trapped Makkari, using him to awaken the Dreaming Celestial, who was under Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Upon awakening, the Celestial decided to judge humanity. The Eternals, now remembering their past, arrived in San Francisco, and realizing that they cannot stop the Celestial, decided to leave him be. Makkari was transformed by the Celestial into his spokesman. The Deviants called him\nSkadrach\n, and respected him, because the Dreaming Celestial was adored as their god. Sprite was killed by Zuras because of his actions and the rest of the Eternals then embarked on a quest to find and recruit the other members who had similarly forgotten their true selves due to Sprite's trickery.\n[\n49\n]\nThe Dreaming Celestial told Makkari the reasons for the creation of the Eternals and Deviants, and helped him to find more Eternals. Ajak, jealous of Makkari's new function, manipulated Gilgamesh into killing Makkari. With help of Sersi, Makkari was reborn and the Dreaming Celestial stopped a planned autodestruction.\n[\n50\n]\nThen the Eternals stopped the invasion of the Horde.\n[\n51\n]\nWith their numbers completed, and with the new information given by the Dreaming Celestial, the Eternals  debated what to do with mankind and the Deviants—leave them alone, protect them or rule them.\n[\n52\n]\nThey formed another Unimind to decide what to do  and decided to hold themselves apart from the mortal world.\n[\n53\n]\nWhen Celestials literally began \"raining\" down on Earth, the Avengers are forced to reunite again and just in time to see the arrival of the Final Host which is composed of Dark Celestials that are each physically unique and were the ones who easily took down their brethren.\n[\n54\n]\nIn an attempt to learn more about these new breed of Celestials,\nIron Man\nand\nDoctor Strange\ntravelled to the Mountains of Greece to try to get some answers from The Eternals. When Stark and Strange arrived, there were no signs of life to be found as almost all of the Eternals were dead, with Strange deducing that the wounds were self-inflicted. Only Ikaris was left barely alive and reveals that the Eternals were never meant to protect Humanity as they thought. Instead, because the Celestials saw the human population as a useful pathogen to act as antibodies against the Horde, the Eternals were created to defend the process under the false impression that they were actually protecting the human race. This discovery drove all Eternals mad which either made them turn against each other or commit suicide. Ikaris is also able to reveal that the only way to prevent the Final Host from unleashing the Horde is the Uni-Mind and sends a message into Stark's mind before dying.\n[\n55\n]\nResurrection and their confrontation with Thanos\n[\nedit\n]\nAfter the events of The Final Host, The Eternals are then revived by the Machine with no memories of their recent events. As Ikaris retrieved Sprite, Zuras was mysteriously murdered, forcing Ikaris and Sprite to retrieve others after encountering the Mad Titan Thanos. Phastos was the first Eternal reborn and learned the shocking truth about the Machine. Every time an Eternal was resurrected from their death, one human life was taken in return, resulting in a devastating outcome. Shocked by this revelation, Phastos vowed to end it by ending the Eternals. So, he rescued Thanos from a black hole and blackmailed the Mad Titan into helping him with his scheme. However, Phastos' plans have backfired when Thanos killed Phastos to hide the truth and worked with Druig to depose Zuras. The Eternals learned the truth after Ikaris sacrificed himself to repair the machine.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nWhen the issue was argued with the Prime Eternal Zuras after his resurrection, it was determined that most Eternals would never agree to change it, as Eternals didn't care about the lives of individual humans. So, several Eternals met with the Deviants of Lemuria, asking them how to become like them. They also learned that Deviants have unstable mutations that the Eternals are programmed by the principles to kill them. Thanos is then elected as the new Prime and succeeded by Unity Mind and disposed of his uncle Zuras as a result. The group infiltrates the Avengers' base to confront Progenitor and learned why the Celestials created the Eternals. While the Eternals stall the Avengers, Ajak gains access to the Progenitor's consciousness and uncovers the truth of their origin. She learned that when the Progenitor died from sickness, the necrofluid began to contaminate life on Earth, which resulted in excess deviation and mutation. The Celstials began designing the Deviants to stabilize the necrofluid, while the Eternals served as antibodies to eliminate the Deviants if the mutations were unstable. After gaining knowledge, the Eternals confronted Thanos, and Druig secretly created a failsafe on Thanos' armory if the latter orchestrated his betrayal. After Thanos' defeat, Druig took over as Prime and began to suspect the mutants' settlement on Krakoa as Deviants, wishing to eliminate them.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nA.X.E.: Judgment Day\n[\nedit\n]\nPowers and abilities\n[\nedit\n]\nDue to the cosmic energy that suffuses an Eternal's body and the unbreakable mental hold they have over their physiological processes, the Eternals of Earth are effectively immortal.\n[\n56\n]\nThey live for millennia, do not fatigue from physical exertion, are immune to\ndisease\nand\npoison\n, and are unaffected by environmental extremes of cold and heat. Most cannot be injured by conventional weaponry, and even if they somehow are, an Eternal can rapidly regenerate any damage as long as they are able to retain their mental hold over their bodies; this mental bond can be broken. In the 2006 series it was also stated that Eternals are able to absorb oxygen directly from water, and therefore cannot drown. In the same series, Ikaris was plunged into molten metal and experienced great pain, but no physical injury, which the Deviants attributed to a forcefield which protects Ikaris even when unconscious. It is unclear if all Eternals share this degree of protection.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nAt one time, the official limit to the Eternals' durability was such that they could only be permanently destroyed by dispersing their bodies' molecules over a wide area.\n[\n57\n]\nThis degree of extreme durability was revealed to have increased to a much greater degree; as demonstrated in the 2006\nEternals\nlimited series,\n[\n58\n]\nit is shown that even total molecular dispersal is insufficient to destroy an Eternal. As long as \"The Machine\" (a restoration device of Celestial origin; possibly the Earth itself)\n[\n59\n]\nkeeps running, any destroyed Eternal will eventually return, as was the case with Ikaris after he was completely vaporized by a\nparticle accelerator\nas part of a series of \"experiments\" performed upon him by the Deviants.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nThis same cosmic energy can be channeled for a number of superhuman abilities, including superhuman physical abilities, immortality, flight, energy projection, mind control, teleportation, illusion creation, and elemental transmutation. In addition, groups of Eternals, as few as three at a time,\n[\n59\n]\ncan transform into the\nUni-Mind\n, a combination of minds that is greater than its constituent parts.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nSome Eternals choose to focus on a particular power to increase their effectiveness with it.\nSersi\n, for example, has developed the power of transmutation further than any other Eternal. Additionally, some Eternals choose to focus their cosmic energies into other, non-standard abilities.\nIkaris\n, for example, channels cosmic energy to greatly enhance his senses, while\nthe Interloper\nuses his to generate fear in others, and\nMakkari\nuses his cosmic energies for superspeed.\n[\ncitation needed\n]\nThe 2006\nretcon\nof the Eternals' origins and abilities introduces a significant limitation to their powers, and possibly to their free will, with numerous references to Eternals being \"programmed\" or \"hardwired.\" They cannot attack their Celestial \"masters\" for any reason, whether they make a conscious decision to do so or are tricked into accidentally striking the beings.\n[\n60\n]\n[\n61\n]\nAny such attempt shuts down the body of the attacking Eternal and is implied to be an automatic defense mechanism of the Celestials' armor.\n[\n62\n]\nOn one occasion, when the Eternals attempted to form a Uni-Mind with the intent of keeping the\nDreaming Celestial\nasleep, they were shut down and reverted to their original forms. Furthermore, Eternals are compelled to attack and neutralize any being that attacks a Celestial.\n[\n63\n]\nAs presented in Gaiman's Volume 3, the Eternals are aware of their role on Earth and the duties and constraints placed on them by the Celestials. Ikaris describes himself as the Earth's repair and maintenance unit.\n[\n60\n]\nZuras phrased the same concept more philosophically: \"We are the Eternals. We are the court of last resort for humanity and for all living things on Earth. [...] We do not choose sides. Countries are lines in the sand, empires rise and fall. We are timeless. We will still be here tomorrow, and a hundred centuries from now.\"\n[\n59\n]\nThe Eternals are split between five different generationals groups:\n[\n64\n]\nFirst Generation Eternal\n(\nthose born before the fall of Titanos\n): Arlok, Astron, Daina, Kronos\/Chronos\/Chronus, Master Elo, Oceanus, Shastra, Thyrio, Uranos.\nSecond Generation Eternal\n(\nthose alive at the time of Chronus's experiment\n):\nMentor (A'lars)\n, Amaa, Cybele,\nForgotten One\n\/Gilgamesh, Helios, Perse, Rakar, Tulayn, Valkin, Virako, Zuras.\nThird Generation Eternal\n(\nthose born after Chronos's experiment but before the Second Host\n): Aginar,\nAjak\n, Arex, Atlo, Domo,\nIkaris\n, Interloper, Mara,\nPhastos\n, Sigmar,\nThanos\n,\nThena\n, Veron, Zarin, Eros\nFourth Generation Eternal\n(\nthose born after the coming of the Second Host, 20,000 years ago\n): Argos, Ceyote, Chi Demon, the Delphan brothers,\nDruig\n, Khoryphos,\nMakkari\n, Psykos,\nSersi\n,\nKingo\nSunen, El Vampiro.\nFifth Generation Eternal\n(\nthose born after the coming of the Third Host, 3,000 years ago\n): Aurelle,\nSprite\n, Titanis.\nArthur C. Clarke\n's book\nChildhood's End\nfrom 1953 provided inspiration, including the idea of \"Overlords\" who control Earth's fate and will reveal themselves further after a 50-year waiting period, the idea of demons being humanity's memory of another species, and the \"Overmind\" concept which seems to influence the comic's \"Uni-Mind\".\nMercury and Hurricane, two characters depicted by Jack Kirby through\nTimely Comics\n, the 1940s predecessor of Marvel, were\nretconned\nas being guises of the Eternal Makkari.\n[\n65\n]\nJeremy Brown of\nGame Rant\nranked the Eternals 6th in their \"Marvel: Best Superhero Teams\" list.\n[\n66\n]\nMarc Buxton of\nDen of Geek\nranked the Eternals 7th in their \"Guardians of the Galaxy 3: 50 Marvel Characters We Want to See\" list.\n[\n67\n]\nThe\nEternals\ncomic book series won Best Lettering and was nominated for Best Archival Collection\/Project—Comic Books at the 2007\nEisner Awards\n.\n[\n68\n]\n[\n69\n]\n[\n70\n]\nMarc Buxton of\nDen of Geek\nstated, \"Jack Kirby delivered the original electrifying Eternals saga. Other than a Hulk robot (because reasons), there was no mention of the Marvel Universe anywhere in this series. But this was Kirby at his 1970s finest, getting all metaphysical and theological as he combined his imaginative saga with real world legend. Sersi does also turn a man's face into Ben Grimm's The Thing face in her introduction.\"\n[\n71\n]\nAccording to\nDiamond Comic Distributors\n,\nEternals\n#1 was the 17th best selling comic book in June 2006.\n[\n72\n]\n[\n73\n]\n[\n74\n]\nEternals\n#2 was the 28th best selling comic book in July 2006.\n[\n75\n]\n[\n76\n]\n[\n77\n]\nEternals\n#3 was the 28th best selling comic book in August 2006.\n[\n78\n]\n[\n79\n]\n[\n80\n]\nJared Gaudreau of\nComic Book Resources\nasserted, \"The seven-issue mini-series covered previous themes like creation and did an excellent job expanding Eternals lore and adding numerous new side characters. One of those great additions came in the form of a love interest for Thena named Thomas Eliot.\"\n[\n81\n]\nMarc Buxton of\nDen of Geek\nwrote, \"This is a must read for any fan of American Gods as Gaiman and Romita examine recurring themes of mythology made real and they channel it all through a magnificent Kirby lens. Do not be surprised if the coming film borrows liberally from this fantastic series.\"\n[\n71\n]\nColin Cheney of\nFatherly\nsaid, \"The series is a good, grounded way to enter the Eternals-verse: Romita's art is appropriately bombastic, and we get some good bang-pow comics action—but it's also pretty talky (because it's Neil Gaiman). But also because it's Neil Gaiman we get a nice right hook to the jaw of the problematic inspiration behind Kirby's original comic.\"\n[\n82\n]\nAccording to\nDiamond Comic Distributors\n,\nEternals\n#1 was the 52nd best selling comic book in June 2008.\n[\n83\n]\n[\n84\n]\n[\n85\n]\nK. Thor Jensen of\nPCMag\ncalled the\nEternals\ncomic book series the \"last high-profile attempt to reboot the concept,\" stating, \"This was the bridge that brought the group into the modern era, and it's a very solid read.\"\n[\n86\n]\nEric Diaz of\nNerdist\nincluded the comic book series in their \"Essential\nEternals\nComics\" list, writing, \"Daniel Acuna provided memorable pencil art. In this short-lived comic, the Eternals are more intimately tied to the X-Men, with stories that crossed over with the mutant's time in San Francisco. When the Dreaming Celestial awakens and towers over the mutant home city, it forces the Eternals to take action. Not one of the most well-known runs, and it only lasted eight issues and one Annual. But it is worth a read for sure.\"\n[\n87\n]\nAccording to data combined from all\ndirect market\ndistributors,\nEternals\n#1 was the 4th best selling comic book in January 2021.\n[\n88\n]\n[\n89\n]\nMatthew Sibley of\nNewsarama\nasserted, \"\nEternals\n#1 is not just a fresh start for the creative team and for potential readers, but also for the Eternals themselves to define who they are.\"\n[\n90\n]\nBarry Thompson of\nPolygon\nsaid, \"In terms of execution,\nEternals\n#1 is extremely good. Gillen introduces and entices the uninitiated without bogging itself down with exposition or patronizing anybody who brings some prior knowledge to the table. As far as fulfilling its primary functions,\nEternals\n#1 checks all the necessary boxes.\"\n[\n91\n]\nColin Cheney of\nFatherly\nasserted, \"Esad Ribic's artwork — and the colors by Matthew Wilson — is quite beautiful and cinematic. The storytelling is sharp and clear: Gillen has a witty, wry way of letting his characters reveal themselves and the wider world. We get a good sense of the characters' personalities (particularly Ikaris and Sprite) quite quickly… And hell: you get a little bit of Iron Man.\"\n[\n82\n]\nAdam Barnhardt of\nComicBook.com\ngave\nEternals\n#1 a grade of 4 out of 5, saying, \"Readers looking for a strong character-driven story serving study on the likes of Ikaris, Sprite, and the remaining Eternals will find Gillen and Ribić's Eternals #1 to be a delightful read. Readers looking for something akin to a blockbuster event may need to keep looking, save for an epic, applause-inducing cliffhanger. It's an intriguing new start for readers new and old, alike and, at the very least, it's evident this creative team is setting out to establish a definitive take for one of Marvel's biggest unproven ideas.\"\n[\n92\n]\nThe Eternals appear in a self-titled\nMarvel Cinematic Universe\nfilm, released on November 5, 2021.\n[\n93\n]\n[\n94\n]\n[\n95\n]\n[\n96\n]\nIt stars\nGemma Chan\nas\nSersi\n,\nRichard Madden\nas\nIkaris\n,\nKumail Nanjiani\nas\nKingo\n,\nLia McHugh\nas\nSprite\n,\nBrian Tyree Henry\nas\nPhastos\n,\nLauren Ridloff\nas\nMakkari\n,\nBarry Keoghan\nas\nDruig\n,\nDon Lee\nas\nGilgamesh\n,\nSalma Hayek\nas\nAjak\nand\nAngelina Jolie\nas\nThena\n.\n[\n97\n]\n[\n98\n]\n[\n99\n]\n[\n100\n]\n[\n101\n]\n[\n102\n]\n[\n103\n]\n[\n104\n]\n[\n105\n]\n[\n106\n]\nThe Eternals appear in a self-titled motion comic, released on September 16, 2014.\n[\n107\n]\nEternals\n(vol. 1) #1–19 (written and\npenciled\nby\nJack Kirby\n, July 1976 - January 1978)\nEternals Annual\n#1 (written and penciled by\nJack Kirby\n, 1977)\nThor Annual\n#7 (September 1978)\nThor\n(vol. 1 ) #283-301 (May 1979 - September 1980)\nWhat If...\n#23-30 (October 1980 - September 1981)\nIron Man Annual\n#6 (November 1983)\nAvengers\n(vol. 1 ) #246-248 (August 1984- October 1984)\nEternals\n(vol. 2) #1–12 (\nlimited series\n, October 1985 - September 1986)\nThe Avengers\n(vol. 1) #308-310 (October 1989 - November 1989)\nEternals: The Herod Factor\n(November 1991)\nAvengers\n(vol. 1 ) #361, #374-375 (April 1993, May 1994 - June 1994 )\nHeroes for Hire\n(vol. 1 ) #4-7 (November 1997 - January 1998)\nThe New Eternals: Apocalypse Now\n(also known as\nEternals: The New Breed\n) #1 (February 2000)\nEternals\n(vol. 3) #1–7 (written by\nNeil Gaiman\n, limited series, Jun. 2006 - February 2007)\nEternals\n(vol. 4) #1–9, Annual #1 (August 2008 - March 2009)\nHulk\n(vol 3.) #49 (May 2012)\nThor:The Deviants Saga\n#2–5 (February 2012 - May 2012)\nAvengers\n(vol. 8) #4 (September 2018)\nEternals\n(vol. 5) #1–12 (January 2021 – present)  Others include:\nThe Eternal\n#1–6 (written by\nChuck Austen\n, with pencils by\nKev Walker\nand inks by\nSimon Coleby\n, August 2003 - January 2004)\nA number of the series featuring the Eternals have been collected into\ntrade paperbacks\n:\nThe Eternals\n(collects\nThe Eternals\n(vol. 1) #1-19 and\nThe Eternals\nAnnual #1, 1976–1978,\nMarvel Omnibus\nhardback, 392 pages, July 2006,\nISBN\n \n0-7851-2205-2\n) collected as a softcovers:\nVolume 1\n(collects\nThe Eternals\n(vol. 1) #1-11, softcover, 208 pages, July 2008,\nISBN\n \n0-7851-3313-5\n)\nVolume 2\n(collects\nThe Eternals\n(vol. 1) #12-19 and\nThe Eternals\nAnnual #1, softcover, 188 pages, October 2008,\nISBN\n \n0-7851-3442-5\n)\nThor: The Eternals Saga\n:\nVolume 1\n(collects\nThor\nAnnual #7 and\nThor\n#283-291, softcover, 208 pages, October 2006,\nISBN\n \n0-7851-2404-7\n)\nVolume 2\n(collects\nThor\n#292-301, softcover, 216 pages, April 2007,\nISBN\n \n0-7851-2405-5\n)\nEternals\n(collects\nEternals\n(vol. 3) #1-7, 2006, softcover, 256 pages, Marvel Comics, July 2008,\nISBN\n \n0-7851-2177-3\n, March 2007,\nPanini Comics\n,\nISBN\n \n1-905239-57-2\n, hardcover, 256 pages, May 2007,\nISBN\n \n0-7851-2176-5\n, April 2007,\nISBN\n \n0-7851-2541-8\n)\nEternals\n:\nVolume 1: To Slay A God\n(collects\nEternals\n(vol. 4) #1-6, softcover, 184 pages, March 2009,\nISBN\n \n0-7851-2978-2\n)\nVolume 2:\nManifest Destiny\n(collects\nEternals\n(vol. 4) #7-9 and\nEternals Annual\n, softcover, 104 pages, September 2009,\nISBN\n \n0-7851-2979-0\n)\nEternals\n:\nVolume 1: Only Death Is Eternal\n(collects\nEternals\n(vol. 5) #1-6, softcover, 136 pages, September 2021,\nISBN\n \n978-1302925475\n)\nVolume 2: Hail Thanos\n(collects\nEternals\n(vol. 5) #7-12, softcover, 160 pages, July 2022,\nISBN\n \n978-1302925482\n)\nEternals: A History Written In Blood\n(collects\nEternals: Thanos Rises\n,\nEternals: Celestia\n,\nEternals: The Heretic\nand material from\nWhat If?\n#24-28, softcover, 112 pages, February 2023,\nISBN\n \n978-1302950804\n)\n^\nDeFalco, Tom\n;\nSanderson, Peter\n;\nBrevoort, Tom\n; Teitelbaum, Michael; Wallace, Daniel; Darling, Andrew;\nForbeck, Matt\n; Cowsill, Alan; Bray, Adam (2019).\nThe Marvel Encyclopedia\n.

They were created by [Jack Kirby](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jack_Kirby \"Jack Kirby\"), making their first appearance in *The Eternals* \\#1 (July 1976).[\\[1\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-1)\n\nIn the [Marvel Universe](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marvel_Universe \"Marvel Universe\"), the Eternals are an offshoot of humanity known as ***Homo immortalis*** which were created one million years ago by the enigmatic [alien](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Extraterrestrial_life \"Extraterrestrial life\") [Celestials](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Celestial_\\(comics\\) \"Celestial (comics)\") to defend Earth with their superhuman powers and abilities. Their primary adversaries are the [Deviants](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deviant_\\(comics\\) \"Deviant (comics)\"), who share a similar origin and pose a regular threat to humanity. Due to their virtual immortality, Eternals have largely secluded themselves from humans, with their god-like status forming the basis of various mythological figures around the world.\n\nSince their appearance, the Eternals have had several of their own series, in addition to crossing into other titles, such as *Thor* and *X-Men*.[\\[2\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2)[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-3) They made their live action film debut in the [Marvel Cinematic Universe](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe \"Marvel Cinematic Universe\") with their own feature film *[Eternals](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(film\\) \"Eternals (film)\")*, directed by [Chloé Zhao](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chlo%C3%A9_Zhao \"Chloé Zhao\"), which was released November 5, 2021.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-Phase4DelayAgain-4)\n\n## Publication history\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=1 \"Edit section: Publication history\")\\]\n\nIn 1970, Jack Kirby left Marvel Comics to work at [DC Comics](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DC_Comics \"DC Comics\"), where he began the saga of the [New Gods](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_Gods \"New Gods\"), an epic story involving mythological and science fiction concepts. Though he had planned for a definitive ending, the series was abruptly cancelled. Upon his return to Marvel, Kirby continued exploring his interest in mythological science fiction through *The Eternals*.[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-5)\n\nOriginally titled \"The Celestials\", Marvel changed the title to \"Return of the Gods\", whose comic book cover bore stylistics similarities to [Erich von Daniken](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Erich_von_Daniken \"Erich von Daniken\")'s book *[Chariots of the Gods?](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chariots_of_the_Gods%3F \"Chariots of the Gods?\")*. To avoid potential legal issues, the name was again changed to “Eternals\".[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-6) The Eternals' saga was thematically similar to the New Gods' and it shared the same fate: Kirby's new series also was eventually canceled without resolving many of its plots.[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-IGNEternals-7)[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-denofgeek-8)[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-io9-9) Writers [Roy Thomas](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roy_Thomas \"Roy Thomas\") and [Mark Gruenwald](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mark_Gruenwald \"Mark Gruenwald\") used the Eternals in a *[Thor](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thor_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Thor (Marvel Comics)\")* storyline that concluded in *Thor* \\#301,[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-10) resolving those lingering plotlines. Subsequent to the *Thor* storyline, the Eternals (and the mythology connected to them) have appeared or been mentioned in numerous Marvel comics.[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-io9-9)[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-IGNEternals-7) In particular, the Celestials' experiment on humanity has been used to explain how certain humans can develop super-powers.

In 2003, writer [Chuck Austen](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chuck_Austen \"Chuck Austen\") and artist [Kev Walker](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kev_Walker \"Kev Walker\") rebooted the franchise for Marvel's mature readers-focused MAX imprint, resulting in *The Eternal*.[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-IGNEternals-7)[\\[16\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-16)\n\n*The Eternal* series from Marvel's [MAX](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MAX_\\(comics\\) \"MAX (comics)\") imprint written by [Chuck Austen](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chuck_Austen \"Chuck Austen\") was based on an idea he had been working on for a while: \"I pitched this back when I first started working at Marvel, but Joe Quesada was against doing it. He saw no future in this particular old Kirby concept.\" Austen described the plot as involving \"Ikaeden, the leader of the Eternals, who arrives on Earth at the dawn of man, and evolves humankind from *[Homo erectus](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Homo_erectus \"Homo erectus\")* so he can use them as slaves to mine raw materials for the Celestials, his bosses, basically,\" as well as \"Kurassus, who is the second-in-command of the mining mission, and who is determined to undermine Ikaeden and kill Ikaeden's precious slave-girl and son.\"[\\[17\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-cbr1944-17) In an interview with *[Newsarama](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Newsarama \"Newsarama\")* he gave an outline of his planned plot:\n\n> In this version, we take some of the concepts from \\[the original series\\] and build around them, throwing away some stuff and keeping others. We're actually going back in time to see Ikaris birth and development on Earth, meet his parents, and then move forward into contemporary time. When we get to contemporary time, the Celestials return to judge Earth, but there's no fifty-year 'study and evaluation period.' We've already been judged and found wanting, too violent to be allowed to flourish and spread, and Ikaris and the others have to stop the Celestials, who consider us their property, from destroying the entire planet as they have done to many others, including another in the [Solar System](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Solar_System \"Solar System\").[\\[18\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-18)\n\nPlanned as an ongoing series,[\\[17\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-cbr1944-17) it was cancelled after six issues.[\\[19\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-19)\n\n[Neil Gaiman](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Neil_Gaiman \"Neil Gaiman\"),[\\[20\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-20)[\\[21\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-21) with artist [John Romita, Jr.](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Romita,_Jr. \"John Romita, Jr.\"),[\\[22\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-22) created a 2006 miniseries, which helped bring the Eternals' role in the modern Marvel Universe up-to-date.[\\[23\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-23) Solicited as a six-issue series, an extra issue was added to the run, because, according to editor [Nick Lowe](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nick_Lowe_\\(comics\\) \"Nick Lowe (comics)\"), \"There was too much story to fit into the structure we set for ourselves. Neil was starting issue five and told me that he might need a seventh issue. He just had too much story to fit in six issues (even with the first and sixth double-sized).\"[\\[24\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-24)\n\nA fourth *Eternals* series ran as an [ongoing series](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ongoing_series \"Ongoing series\") for nine issues and one annual from August 2008 – March 2009.\n\nThe Eternals returned in [Jason Aaron](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jason_Aaron \"Jason Aaron\")'s *[Avengers](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Avengers_\\(comics\\) \"Avengers (comics)\")*, a story arc involving the Dark [Celestials](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Celestial_\\(comics\\) \"Celestial (comics)\"), which saw the Eternals all killed in the fourth issue. However, the characters were resurrected in their new ongoing series launched in January 2021 by writer [Kieron Gillen](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kieron_Gillen \"Kieron Gillen\") and artist [Esad Ribić](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Esad_Ribi%C4%87 \"Esad Ribić\").[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-io9-9)[\\[25\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-25)\n\n## Fictional history\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=2 \"Edit section: Fictional history\")\\]\n\nWhen the [Celestials](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Celestial_\\(comics\\) \"Celestial (comics)\") visited Earth 1,000,000 years ago and performed genetic experiments on early [proto-humans](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Archaic_humans \"Archaic humans\"), they created two divergent races: the long-lived Eternals, and the genetically unstable and monstrously grotesque [Deviants](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deviant_\\(comics\\) \"Deviant (comics)\"). These experiments also led to the capacity for super-powered [mutations](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mutant_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Mutant (Marvel Comics)\") in humans. They also performed this experiment on other planets (such as the [Kree](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kree \"Kree\") and [Skrull](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Skrull \"Skrull\") homeworlds) with similar results.\n\nDespite looking human, Eternals are [much longer-lived](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Longevity \"Longevity\") (but were not originally fully [immortal](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Immortality \"Immortality\")), and that kept them from having much contact with their human cousins. Eternals have a low birth rate; they can interbreed with humans but the result is always a normal human (although [Thena](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thena \"Thena\")'s son, Joey Athena seems to have become an Eternal with long-lived properties and powers).[\\[26\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-26) Despite this, the Eternals have in general protected the human race, especially from the Deviants, with whom they have always had an enmity. The Eternals also developed advanced technology.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nLong ago, a civil war broke out amongst the Eternals over whether to conquer the other races, with one faction led by Kronos and the other by his warlike brother, Uranos. Kronos's side prevailed, and Uranos and his defeated faction left Earth and journeyed to Uranus where they built a colony. Some of Uranos's group soon tried to return to Earth to re-kindle the war, but they were attacked by a passing Kree ship and forced to land on Saturn's moon [Titan](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Titan_\\(Marvel_Comics_location\\) \"Titan (Marvel Comics location)\"). There they built another colony (experiments performed by Kree scientists on a captured Eternal led them to go to [Earth](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Earth \"Earth\") and perform their genetic experiments on a group of humans, thus creating the [Inhumans](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Inhumans \"Inhumans\")).\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nOne day, Kronos's experiments in cosmic energy caused a catastrophic release of energy throughout the Eternals' city, Titanos, destroying it, activating latent genes in the Eternals, and disintegrating the scientist's body. The Eternals now found they could channel large quantities of cosmic energy themselves, granting them near-godlike power. The accident left Kronos in an [immaterial](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Immaterialism \"Immaterialism\") state, so a new leader had to be chosen. For the first time, the Eternals merged into a single being, the Uni-Mind, to decide which of Kronos's sons, [Zuras](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zuras \"Zuras\") or [A'lars](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/A%27lars \"A'lars\") should be the new leader. Zuras was chosen to be the Prime Eternal, and A'lars chose to leave Earth to avoid causing another civil war and journeyed to Titan.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nThere he found that a war (allegedly caused by the [Dragon of the Moon](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dragon_of_the_Moon \"Dragon of the Moon\")) had erupted on Titan and wiped out all but one member, a woman named [Sui-San](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sui-San \"Sui-San\"). A'lars fell in love with her, and in time they repopulated Titan. Due to the mix of activated genes from A'lars and unactivated ones from Sui-San, these new Titanian Eternals are not as powerful or immortal as Terran Eternals, but are more powerful and longer-lived than the earlier pre-civil war Titanian Eternals.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nWhile Zuras ruled, three new Eternal cities were built. The first was Olympia, located in the mountains of Greece, near the main portal between the Earth dimension and the [Olympians'](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Olympians_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Olympians (Marvel Comics)\") home dimension, which led many ancient Greeks to confuse some of the godlike Eternals with members of the Olympian pantheon. Eventually, an agreement was reached with the gods where some Eternals, such as Thena, would impersonate the Olympians before their worshipers. The other two Eternal cities were Polaria (located in Siberia) and Oceana (in the Pacific).\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\n18,000 years ago, the Celestials returned to Earth. The Deviants attacked them, but the Celestials counterattacked, resulting in the sinking of [Mu](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mu_\\(lost_continent\\) \"Mu (lost continent)\") and [Atlantis](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Atlantis_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Atlantis (Marvel Comics)\"), and much worldwide havoc. The Eternals helped rescue many humans. An Eternal named [Valkin](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Valkin \"Valkin\") was entrusted by the Celestials with an artifact of great power for safekeeping.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nAt some point during the early centuries, [Ikaris](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ikaris \"Ikaris\") and the Eternals came into conflict with the immortal mutant, [Apocalypse](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apocalypse_\\(character\\) \"Apocalypse (character)\"). This conflict ended when Ikaris and the Eternals defeated him. Ikaris believed Apocalypse was dead.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\n1,000 years ago, the [Asgardian](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Asgardians_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Asgardians (Marvel Comics)\") god [Thor](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thor_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Thor (Marvel Comics)\") encountered some Eternals, but the encounter was erased from his mind, to prevent him from learning about the Celestials, who were about to return to Earth. An Eternal named [Ajak](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ajak \"Ajak\") became the Celestials' spokesperson, and put himself to sleep when the Celestials left, to wait for their return 1,000 years later to judge humanity.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nDuring the early 20th century, a human scientist made contact with the Uranian Eternals and was taken to live with them along with his young son, who would later become [Marvel Boy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marvel_Boy_\\(Robert_Grayson\\) \"Marvel Boy (Robert Grayson)\").[\\[27\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-27) The Uranians were eventually killed by [Deathurge](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deathurge \"Deathurge\").[\\[28\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-28) After World War II, some Eternals allied with humans and Deviants to form the Damocles Foundation, which tried to create a new breed of superhuman to rule Earth.[\\[29\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-29) Some Eternals, such as [Makkari](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Makkari_\\(character\\) \"Makkari (character)\"), were also active as [superheroes](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Superheroes \"Superheroes\"), or living amongst humans, keeping their true nature hidden. The Eternals also helped to move the Inhumans' city to the Himalayas to keep it hidden.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nAt some point, [Thanos](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thanos \"Thanos\") of the Eternals of Titan nearly destroyed their colony, but they rebuilt it, and would help Earth's heroes to oppose him on several occasions.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\n### Modern Age\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=3 \"Edit section: Modern Age\")\\]\n\nIn recent times, Ikaris met the archaeologist Daniel Damian and his daughter Margo, and accompanied them into an old Eternal city in the Andes, where he awakened Ajak. Ajak began the process to receive the Celestials. These movements alerted the Deviants, who decided to attack New York and to provoke fear in the humans against the coming celestials.[\\[30\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-30) When the Celestials returned to judge the worthiness of their creations a few years ago, the Eternals found themselves clashing with the Deviants again, and decided to publicly reveal their existence to humanity.[\\[31\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-31) Zuras feared what would happen if the Celestials judged unfavorably. They encountered Thor again, and were attacked by Thor's father [Odin](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Odin_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Odin (Marvel Comics)\") and the Olympian gods, who tried to prevent their interfering with the gods' plans to attack the Celestials. Eventually, the Eternals decided to help the gods and formed a Uni-Mind to assist the [Destroyer's](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Destroyer_\\(Thor\\) \"Destroyer (Thor)\") assault on the Celestials.[\\[32\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-32)\n\nThey were forced to dissolve back into Eternals by the Celestials, and the shock of the attack killed Zuras. Before his spirit fully left the material plane, he instructed his daughter Thena to take his people to explore space. Since then, the Eternals have helped Earth's heroes, particularly the [Avengers](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Avengers_\\(comics\\) \"Avengers (comics)\"), against several menaces. They also discovered the existence of the Titanian Eternals.[\\[33\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-33)\n\nSome time later, the Deviant's aristocracy, led by Brother Tode, attacked Olympia, kidnapping the Eternals and intending to disintegrate them. The hero [Iron Man (James Rhodes)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/War_Machine \"War Machine\") rescued the Eternals and helped them defeat the deviants. Then the Eternals transformed the deviant's aristocracy into a synthetic cube, killing them.[\\[34\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-34) The Eternals formed a Uni-Mind to discuss their future on earth, after which most of the Eternals (led by Valkin), went to the stars. But a handful – those most heavily involved in Earthly affairs – remained behind on Earth.[\\[35\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-35) Thena came to lead the remaining Eternals but she wasn't very respected by her subjects.[\\[36\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-36)\n\nWith the ascension of Priestlord Ghaur as leader of the Deviants, the Eternals joined the Avengers in defeating him after he absorbed the power of a Celestial and tried to gain godhood. Meanwhile, Ikaris questioned Thena for her poor choices as leader of the Eternals. She was subtly being controlled by a brain mine put in her by [Kro](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kro_\\(character\\) \"Kro (character)\"). After a special ceremony, Ikaris succeeded her as leader of the Earth's Eternals. The lover of Ikaris, Margo Damian, was captured by Ghaur's minions and was killed as a result of a Deviant experiment on her.[\\[37\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-37)\n\nAfter the death of his daughter, Daniel Damian decided to take revenge against the Deviants and the Eternals. With the help of ancient Eternal machines, he forged a prophecy to incite war between the two races and transformed Ajak in a murderous monster. When his plan was discovered by the Eternals, Ajak reverted to his original form and regretted the killings that he had committed, so he killed Damian and himself.[\\[38\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-38)\n\nThe Eternals Gilgamesh [\\[39\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-39) and Sersi briefly became part of the Superhero team Avengers.[\\[40\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-40) When Sersi became sick with the *Mahd Wy'ry* disease, a uncurable degenerating Eternal disease, Ikaris and other Eternals tried to bring her to Olympia and perform a rite of Cleansing. Sersi rejected the idea, on the basis that the ritual was designed to kill the infected Eternal, and solicited his family to perform the *Gann Josin* bond between her and her lover the [Black Knight](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Black_Knight_\\(Dane_Whitman\\) \"Black Knight (Dane Whitman)\"). Ikaris was furious and performed the bond without consent of the Knight.[\\[41\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-41) Later Thena and other Eternals helped the Avengers in the battle against the Gatherers and Proctor, who was an alternate Black Knight and who infected Sersi with the *Mahd Wy'ry* disease for spite.[\\[42\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-42)\n\nThe Eternals fought once more against Ghaur and the Deviants, with the help of the [Heroes for Hire](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Heroes_for_Hire \"Heroes for Hire\"). The mad priest tried to form an *Anti-Mind* with some captured eternals, to defeat any invasion of the Celestials.[\\[43\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-43) Later they were at odds with Apocalypse and briefly posed as a superhero team called *the New Breed*.[\\[44\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-44)\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/b\/b9\/New_Eternals_1.png\/250px-New_Eternals_1.png)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:New_Eternals_1.png)\n\nCover of *New Eternals: Apocalypse Now* \\#1 (February 2000) by [Joe Bennett](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joe_Bennett_\\(artist\\) \"Joe Bennett (artist)\")\n\n### Memory loss and the Dreaming Celestial\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=4 \"Edit section: Memory loss and the Dreaming Celestial\")\\]\n\nThe Eternals began reappearing on Earth in [Neil Gaiman](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Neil_Gaiman \"Neil Gaiman\")'s new take on the immortal beings. Most seemed to have no memory of their own history and abilities, except Ikaris, and few records of their previous appearances remain. The Eternal known as [Sprite](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sprite_\\(Eternal\\) \"Sprite (Eternal)\"), angered at having to remain an eleven-year-old and unable to grow any further, managed to change reality, inducing collective amnesia in the Eternals as well as distorting their perceptions of history. He used a Uni-Mind with the [Dreaming Celestial](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tiamut \"Tiamut\") and other unwilling eternals to achieve his desire, transforming himself in a mortal 11 years old kid.[\\[45\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-45) This can possibly be seen as Gaiman's attempt to [retcon](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Retroactive_continuity \"Retroactive continuity\") some details of the characters; early stories as well as [officially published statistics](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/OHOTMU \"OHOTMU\") portrayed most of the current generation of Eternals – such as Ikaris and Thena – as being \"only\" several tens of thousands of years old but Gaiman's run describes them as being closer to a million years old.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\n[Makkari](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Makkari_\\(character\\) \"Makkari (character)\") was working as a medicine intern, Sersi was planning to kickstart her party planner business. Meanwhile, Thena was working as a weapons scientist in [Stark Industries](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stark_Industries \"Stark Industries\"). She was also married and had a young son. Druig was apparently alive again and he was the Deputy minister of Vorozheika (a fictional post-soviet country). Ikaris contacted Makkari, but he did not believe the eternal's words about the past and rejected him.[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-46) Then, Makkari met Sersi again, become attracted to her and accompanied her to a party that she was organizing for Druig of Vorozheika. Thena assisted too. In the party, the amnesic Eternals are attacked by mercenaries of another faction of Vorozheika government. The reunion of the four Eternals triggered a recovery of their powers. Ikaris was captured by two deviants and they were experimenting in ways of destroy his body, until that they seemingly killed him with a particle accelerator.[\\[47\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-47) However, Ikaris was resurrected by a special machine in the Antarctic base of the Eternals. With their returned powers, Druig took control of Vorozheika. Thena frees herself from the mercenaries that captured her and Makkari went to talk to Sprite, who now was a young celebrity. Sprite trapped the amnesic Eternal and told him his plans and the reasons why he did the reality changes.[\\[48\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-48)\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/6\/6f\/The_Eternals_2.jpg\/250px-The_Eternals_2.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:The_Eternals_2.jpg)\n\nVariant cover of *The Eternals* (vol. 5) \\#2 (February 2021) by [Jamie McKelvie](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jamie_McKelvie \"Jamie McKelvie\")\n\nIt was uncovered that Ajak had been revived too and that it had been he who contracted the two Deviants. He succeeded in awakening an amnesic Zuras. The two Deviants managed to kidnap Sprite, and the trapped Makkari, using him to awaken the Dreaming Celestial, who was under Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Upon awakening, the Celestial decided to judge humanity. The Eternals, now remembering their past, arrived in San Francisco, and realizing that they cannot stop the Celestial, decided to leave him be. Makkari was transformed by the Celestial into his spokesman. The Deviants called him *Skadrach*, and respected him, because the Dreaming Celestial was adored as their god. Sprite was killed by Zuras because of his actions and the rest of the Eternals then embarked on a quest to find and recruit the other members who had similarly forgotten their true selves due to Sprite's trickery.[\\[49\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-49)\n\nThe Dreaming Celestial told Makkari the reasons for the creation of the Eternals and Deviants, and helped him to find more Eternals. Ajak, jealous of Makkari's new function, manipulated Gilgamesh into killing Makkari. With help of Sersi, Makkari was reborn and the Dreaming Celestial stopped a planned autodestruction.[\\[50\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-50) Then the Eternals stopped the invasion of the Horde.[\\[51\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-51)\n\nWith their numbers completed, and with the new information given by the Dreaming Celestial, the Eternals debated what to do with mankind and the Deviants—leave them alone, protect them or rule them.[\\[52\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-52) They formed another Unimind to decide what to do and decided to hold themselves apart from the mortal world.[\\[53\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-53)\n\n### The Final Host\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=5 \"Edit section: The Final Host\")\\]\n\nWhen Celestials literally began \"raining\" down on Earth, the Avengers are forced to reunite again and just in time to see the arrival of the Final Host which is composed of Dark Celestials that are each physically unique and were the ones who easily took down their brethren.[\\[54\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-54) In an attempt to learn more about these new breed of Celestials, [Iron Man](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iron_Man \"Iron Man\") and [Doctor Strange](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Doctor_Strange \"Doctor Strange\") travelled to the Mountains of Greece to try to get some answers from The Eternals. When Stark and Strange arrived, there were no signs of life to be found as almost all of the Eternals were dead, with Strange deducing that the wounds were self-inflicted. Only Ikaris was left barely alive and reveals that the Eternals were never meant to protect Humanity as they thought. Instead, because the Celestials saw the human population as a useful pathogen to act as antibodies against the Horde, the Eternals were created to defend the process under the false impression that they were actually protecting the human race. This discovery drove all Eternals mad which either made them turn against each other or commit suicide. Ikaris is also able to reveal that the only way to prevent the Final Host from unleashing the Horde is the Uni-Mind and sends a message into Stark's mind before dying.[\\[55\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-55)\n\n### Resurrection and their confrontation with Thanos\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=6 \"Edit section: Resurrection and their confrontation with Thanos\")\\]\n\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| [![\\[icon\\]](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/1\/1c\/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg\/20px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg) | This section **needs expansion**.

As Ikaris retrieved Sprite, Zuras was mysteriously murdered, forcing Ikaris and Sprite to retrieve others after encountering the Mad Titan Thanos. Phastos was the first Eternal reborn and learned the shocking truth about the Machine. Every time an Eternal was resurrected from their death, one human life was taken in return, resulting in a devastating outcome. Shocked by this revelation, Phastos vowed to end it by ending the Eternals. So, he rescued Thanos from a black hole and blackmailed the Mad Titan into helping him with his scheme. However, Phastos' plans have backfired when Thanos killed Phastos to hide the truth and worked with Druig to depose Zuras. The Eternals learned the truth after Ikaris sacrificed himself to repair the machine.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nWhen the issue was argued with the Prime Eternal Zuras after his resurrection, it was determined that most Eternals would never agree to change it, as Eternals didn't care about the lives of individual humans. So, several Eternals met with the Deviants of Lemuria, asking them how to become like them. They also learned that Deviants have unstable mutations that the Eternals are programmed by the principles to kill them. Thanos is then elected as the new Prime and succeeded by Unity Mind and disposed of his uncle Zuras as a result. The group infiltrates the Avengers' base to confront Progenitor and learned why the Celestials created the Eternals. While the Eternals stall the Avengers, Ajak gains access to the Progenitor's consciousness and uncovers the truth of their origin. She learned that when the Progenitor died from sickness, the necrofluid began to contaminate life on Earth, which resulted in excess deviation and mutation. The Celstials began designing the Deviants to stabilize the necrofluid, while the Eternals served as antibodies to eliminate the Deviants if the mutations were unstable. After gaining knowledge, the Eternals confronted Thanos, and Druig secretly created a failsafe on Thanos' armory if the latter orchestrated his betrayal. After Thanos' defeat, Druig took over as Prime and began to suspect the mutants' settlement on Krakoa as Deviants, wishing to eliminate them.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\n### A.X.E.: Judgment Day\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=7 \"Edit section: A.X.E.: Judgment Day\")\\]\n\n|   |   |\n|---|---|\n| [![\\[icon\\]](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/1\/1c\/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg\/20px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg) | This section **needs expansion**.

Most cannot be injured by conventional weaponry, and even if they somehow are, an Eternal can rapidly regenerate any damage as long as they are able to retain their mental hold over their bodies; this mental bond can be broken. In the 2006 series it was also stated that Eternals are able to absorb oxygen directly from water, and therefore cannot drown. In the same series, Ikaris was plunged into molten metal and experienced great pain, but no physical injury, which the Deviants attributed to a forcefield which protects Ikaris even when unconscious. It is unclear if all Eternals share this degree of protection.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nAt one time, the official limit to the Eternals' durability was such that they could only be permanently destroyed by dispersing their bodies' molecules over a wide area.[\\[57\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-57) This degree of extreme durability was revealed to have increased to a much greater degree; as demonstrated in the 2006 *Eternals* limited series,[\\[58\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2006_2-58) it is shown that even total molecular dispersal is insufficient to destroy an Eternal. As long as \"The Machine\" (a restoration device of Celestial origin; possibly the Earth itself)[\\[59\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2006_6-59) keeps running, any destroyed Eternal will eventually return, as was the case with Ikaris after he was completely vaporized by a [particle accelerator](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Particle_accelerator \"Particle accelerator\") as part of a series of \"experiments\" performed upon him by the Deviants.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nThis same cosmic energy can be channeled for a number of superhuman abilities, including superhuman physical abilities, immortality, flight, energy projection, mind control, teleportation, illusion creation, and elemental transmutation. In addition, groups of Eternals, as few as three at a time,[\\[59\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2006_6-59) can transform into the [Uni-Mind](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gestalt_psychology \"Gestalt psychology\"), a combination of minds that is greater than its constituent parts.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nSome Eternals choose to focus on a particular power to increase their effectiveness with it. [Sersi](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sersi \"Sersi\"), for example, has developed the power of transmutation further than any other Eternal. Additionally, some Eternals choose to focus their cosmic energies into other, non-standard abilities. [Ikaris](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ikaris \"Ikaris\"), for example, channels cosmic energy to greatly enhance his senses, while [the Interloper](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Interloper_\\(comics\\) \"Interloper (comics)\") uses his to generate fear in others, and [Makkari](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Makkari_\\(character\\) \"Makkari (character)\") uses his cosmic energies for superspeed.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\n### Limitations\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=9 \"Edit section: Limitations\")\\]\n\nThe 2006 [retcon](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Retcon \"Retcon\") of the Eternals' origins and abilities introduces a significant limitation to their powers, and possibly to their free will, with numerous references to Eternals being \"programmed\" or \"hardwired.\" They cannot attack their Celestial \"masters\" for any reason, whether they make a conscious decision to do so or are tricked into accidentally striking the beings.[\\[60\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2006_4-60)[\\[61\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-61) Any such attempt shuts down the body of the attacking Eternal and is implied to be an automatic defense mechanism of the Celestials' armor.[\\[62\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-62) On one occasion, when the Eternals attempted to form a Uni-Mind with the intent of keeping the [Dreaming Celestial](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tiamut \"Tiamut\") asleep, they were shut down and reverted to their original forms. Furthermore, Eternals are compelled to attack and neutralize any being that attacks a Celestial.[\\[63\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-63)\n\nAs presented in Gaiman's Volume 3, the Eternals are aware of their role on Earth and the duties and constraints placed on them by the Celestials. Ikaris describes himself as the Earth's repair and maintenance unit.[\\[60\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2006_4-60) Zuras phrased the same concept more philosophically: \"We are the Eternals. We are the court of last resort for humanity and for all living things on Earth. \\[...\\] We do not choose sides. Countries are lines in the sand, empires rise and fall. We are timeless. We will still be here tomorrow, and a hundred centuries from now.\"[\\[59\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2006_6-59)\n\n## Members\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=10 \"Edit section: Members\")\\]\n\n### Generations\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=11 \"Edit section: Generations\")\\]\n\nThe Eternals are split between five different generationals groups:[\\[64\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-64)\n\n- **First Generation Eternal** (*those born before the fall of Titanos*): Arlok, Astron, Daina, Kronos\/Chronos\/Chronus, Master Elo, Oceanus, Shastra, Thyrio, Uranos.\n- **Second Generation Eternal** (*those alive at the time of Chronus's experiment*): [Mentor (A'lars)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mentor_\\(A%27lars\\) \"Mentor (A'lars)\"), Amaa, Cybele, [Forgotten One](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Forgotten_One_\\(character\\) \"Forgotten One (character)\")\/Gilgamesh, Helios, Perse, Rakar, Tulayn, Valkin, Virako, Zuras.\n- **Third Generation Eternal** (*those born after Chronos's experiment but before the Second Host*): Aginar, [Ajak](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ajak \"Ajak\"), Arex, Atlo, Domo, [Ikaris](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ikaris \"Ikaris\"), Interloper, Mara, [Phastos](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Phastos \"Phastos\"), Sigmar, [Thanos](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thanos \"Thanos\"), [Thena](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thena \"Thena\"), Veron, Zarin, Eros\n- **Fourth Generation Eternal** (*those born after the coming of the Second Host, 20,000 years ago*): Argos, Ceyote, Chi Demon, the Delphan brothers, [Druig](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Druig \"Druig\"), Khoryphos, [Makkari](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Makkari_\\(character\\) \"Makkari (character)\"), Psykos, [Sersi](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sersi \"Sersi\"), [Kingo](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kingo_Sunen \"Kingo Sunen\") Sunen, El Vampiro.\n- **Fifth Generation Eternal** (*those born after the coming of the Third Host, 3,000 years ago*): Aurelle, [Sprite](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sprite_\\(Eternal\\) \"Sprite (Eternal)\"), Titanis.\n\n## Antecedents\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=12 \"Edit section: Antecedents\")\\]\n\n- [Arthur C.

Due to their virtual immortality, Eternals have largely secluded themselves from humans, with their god-like status forming the basis of various mythological figures around the world.\n\nSince their appearance, the Eternals have had several of their own series, in addition to crossing into other titles, such as *Thor* and *X-Men*.[\\[2\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2)[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-3) They made their live action film debut in the [Marvel Cinematic Universe](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe \"Marvel Cinematic Universe\") with their own feature film *[Eternals](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(film\\) \"Eternals (film)\")*, directed by [Chloé Zhao](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chlo%C3%A9_Zhao \"Chloé Zhao\"), which was released November 5, 2021.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-Phase4DelayAgain-4)\n\n## Publication history\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=1 \"Edit section: Publication history\")\\]\n\nIn 1970, Jack Kirby left Marvel Comics to work at [DC Comics](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DC_Comics \"DC Comics\"), where he began the saga of the [New Gods](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_Gods \"New Gods\"), an epic story involving mythological and science fiction concepts. Though he had planned for a definitive ending, the series was abruptly cancelled. Upon his return to Marvel, Kirby continued exploring his interest in mythological science fiction through *The Eternals*.[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-5)\n\nOriginally titled \"The Celestials\", Marvel changed the title to \"Return of the Gods\", whose comic book cover bore stylistics similarities to [Erich von Daniken](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Erich_von_Daniken \"Erich von Daniken\")'s book *[Chariots of the Gods?](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chariots_of_the_Gods%3F \"Chariots of the Gods?\")*. To avoid potential legal issues, the name was again changed to “Eternals\".[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-6) The Eternals' saga was thematically similar to the New Gods' and it shared the same fate: Kirby's new series also was eventually canceled without resolving many of its plots.[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-IGNEternals-7)[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-denofgeek-8)[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-io9-9) Writers [Roy Thomas](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roy_Thomas \"Roy Thomas\") and [Mark Gruenwald](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mark_Gruenwald \"Mark Gruenwald\") used the Eternals in a *[Thor](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thor_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Thor (Marvel Comics)\")* storyline that concluded in *Thor* \\#301,[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-10) resolving those lingering plotlines.

In 2003, writer [Chuck Austen](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chuck_Austen \"Chuck Austen\") and artist [Kev Walker](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kev_Walker \"Kev Walker\") rebooted the franchise for Marvel's mature readers-focused MAX imprint, resulting in *The Eternal*.[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-IGNEternals-7)[\\[16\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-16)\n\n*The Eternal* series from Marvel's [MAX](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MAX_\\(comics\\) \"MAX (comics)\") imprint written by [Chuck Austen](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chuck_Austen \"Chuck Austen\") was based on an idea he had been working on for a while: \"I pitched this back when I first started working at Marvel, but Joe Quesada was against doing it. He saw no future in this particular old Kirby concept.\" Austen described the plot as involving \"Ikaeden, the leader of the Eternals, who arrives on Earth at the dawn of man, and evolves humankind from *[Homo erectus](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Homo_erectus \"Homo erectus\")* so he can use them as slaves to mine raw materials for the Celestials, his bosses, basically,\" as well as \"Kurassus, who is the second-in-command of the mining mission, and who is determined to undermine Ikaeden and kill Ikaeden's precious slave-girl and son.\"[\\[17\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-cbr1944-17) In an interview with *[Newsarama](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Newsarama \"Newsarama\")* he gave an outline of his planned plot:\n\n> In this version, we take some of the concepts from \\[the original series\\] and build around them, throwing away some stuff and keeping others. We're actually going back in time to see Ikaris birth and development on Earth, meet his parents, and then move forward into contemporary time. When we get to contemporary time, the Celestials return to judge Earth, but there's no fifty-year 'study and evaluation period.' We've already been judged and found wanting, too violent to be allowed to flourish and spread, and Ikaris and the others have to stop the Celestials, who consider us their property, from destroying the entire planet as they have done to many others, including another in the [Solar System](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Solar_System \"Solar System\").[\\[18\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-18)\n\nPlanned as an ongoing series,[\\[17\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-cbr1944-17) it was cancelled after six issues.[\\[19\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-19)\n\n[Neil Gaiman](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Neil_Gaiman \"Neil Gaiman\"),[\\[20\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-20)[\\[21\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-21) with artist [John Romita, Jr.](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Romita,_Jr. \"John Romita, Jr.\"),[\\[22\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-22) created a 2006 miniseries, which helped bring the Eternals' role in the modern Marvel Universe up-to-date.[\\[23\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-23) Solicited as a six-issue series, an extra issue was added to the run, because, according to editor [Nick Lowe](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nick_Lowe_\\(comics\\) \"Nick Lowe (comics)\"), \"There was too much story to fit into the structure we set for ourselves. Neil was starting issue five and told me that he might need a seventh issue.

However, the characters were resurrected in their new ongoing series launched in January 2021 by writer [Kieron Gillen](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kieron_Gillen \"Kieron Gillen\") and artist [Esad Ribić](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Esad_Ribi%C4%87 \"Esad Ribić\").[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-io9-9)[\\[25\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-25)\n\nWhen the [Celestials](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Celestial_\\(comics\\) \"Celestial (comics)\") visited Earth 1,000,000 years ago and performed genetic experiments on early [proto-humans](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Archaic_humans \"Archaic humans\"), they created two divergent races: the long-lived Eternals, and the genetically unstable and monstrously grotesque [Deviants](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deviant_\\(comics\\) \"Deviant (comics)\"). These experiments also led to the capacity for super-powered [mutations](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mutant_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Mutant (Marvel Comics)\") in humans. They also performed this experiment on other planets (such as the [Kree](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kree \"Kree\") and [Skrull](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Skrull \"Skrull\") homeworlds) with similar results.\n\nDespite looking human, Eternals are [much longer-lived](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Longevity \"Longevity\") (but were not originally fully [immortal](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Immortality \"Immortality\")), and that kept them from having much contact with their human cousins. Eternals have a low birth rate; they can interbreed with humans but the result is always a normal human (although [Thena](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thena \"Thena\")'s son, Joey Athena seems to have become an Eternal with long-lived properties and powers).[\\[26\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-26) Despite this, the Eternals have in general protected the human race, especially from the Deviants, with whom they have always had an enmity. The Eternals also developed advanced technology.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nLong ago, a civil war broke out amongst the Eternals over whether to conquer the other races, with one faction led by Kronos and the other by his warlike brother, Uranos. Kronos's side prevailed, and Uranos and his defeated faction left Earth and journeyed to Uranus where they built a colony. Some of Uranos's group soon tried to return to Earth to re-kindle the war, but they were attacked by a passing Kree ship and forced to land on Saturn's moon [Titan](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Titan_\\(Marvel_Comics_location\\) \"Titan (Marvel Comics location)\"). There they built another colony (experiments performed by Kree scientists on a captured Eternal led them to go to [Earth](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Earth \"Earth\") and perform their genetic experiments on a group of humans, thus creating the [Inhumans](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Inhumans \"Inhumans\")).\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nOne day, Kronos's experiments in cosmic energy caused a catastrophic release of energy throughout the Eternals' city, Titanos, destroying it, activating latent genes in the Eternals, and disintegrating the scientist's body. The Eternals now found they could channel large quantities of cosmic energy themselves, granting them near-godlike power. The accident left Kronos in an [immaterial](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Immaterialism \"Immaterialism\") state, so a new leader had to be chosen. For the first time, the Eternals merged into a single being, the Uni-Mind, to decide which of Kronos's sons, [Zuras](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zuras \"Zuras\") or [A'lars](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/A%27lars \"A'lars\") should be the new leader. Zuras was chosen to be the Prime Eternal, and A'lars chose to leave Earth to avoid causing another civil war and journeyed to Titan.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nThere he found that a war (allegedly caused by the [Dragon of the Moon](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dragon_of_the_Moon \"Dragon of the Moon\")) had erupted on Titan and wiped out all but one member, a woman named [Sui-San](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sui-San \"Sui-San\"). A'lars fell in love with her, and in time they repopulated Titan. Due to the mix of activated genes from A'lars and unactivated ones from Sui-San, these new Titanian Eternals are not as powerful or immortal as Terran Eternals, but are more powerful and longer-lived than the earlier pre-civil war Titanian Eternals.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nWhile Zuras ruled, three new Eternal cities were built. The first was Olympia, located in the mountains of Greece, near the main portal between the Earth dimension and the [Olympians'](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Olympians_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Olympians (Marvel Comics)\") home dimension, which led many ancient Greeks to confuse some of the godlike Eternals with members of the Olympian pantheon. Eventually, an agreement was reached with the gods where some Eternals, such as Thena, would impersonate the Olympians before their worshipers. The other two Eternal cities were Polaria (located in Siberia) and Oceana (in the Pacific).\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\n18,000 years ago, the Celestials returned to Earth. The Deviants attacked them, but the Celestials counterattacked, resulting in the sinking of [Mu](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mu_\\(lost_continent\\) \"Mu (lost continent)\") and [Atlantis](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Atlantis_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Atlantis (Marvel Comics)\"), and much worldwide havoc. The Eternals helped rescue many humans. An Eternal named [Valkin](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Valkin \"Valkin\") was entrusted by the Celestials with an artifact of great power for safekeeping.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nAt some point during the early centuries, [Ikaris](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ikaris \"Ikaris\") and the Eternals came into conflict with the immortal mutant, [Apocalypse](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Apocalypse_\\(character\\) \"Apocalypse (character)\"). This conflict ended when Ikaris and the Eternals defeated him. Ikaris believed Apocalypse was dead.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\n1,000 years ago, the [Asgardian](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Asgardians_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Asgardians (Marvel Comics)\") god [Thor](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thor_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Thor (Marvel Comics)\") encountered some Eternals, but the encounter was erased from his mind, to prevent him from learning about the Celestials, who were about to return to Earth. An Eternal named [Ajak](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ajak \"Ajak\") became the Celestials' spokesperson, and put himself to sleep when the Celestials left, to wait for their return 1,000 years later to judge humanity.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nDuring the early 20th century, a human scientist made contact with the Uranian Eternals and was taken to live with them along with his young son, who would later become [Marvel Boy](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Marvel_Boy_\\(Robert_Grayson\\) \"Marvel Boy (Robert Grayson)\").[\\[27\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-27) The Uranians were eventually killed by [Deathurge](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deathurge \"Deathurge\").[\\[28\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-28) After World War II, some Eternals allied with humans and Deviants to form the Damocles Foundation, which tried to create a new breed of superhuman to rule Earth.[\\[29\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-29) Some Eternals, such as [Makkari](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Makkari_\\(character\\) \"Makkari (character)\"), were also active as [superheroes](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Superheroes \"Superheroes\"), or living amongst humans, keeping their true nature hidden. The Eternals also helped to move the Inhumans' city to the Himalayas to keep it hidden.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nAt some point, [Thanos](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thanos \"Thanos\") of the Eternals of Titan nearly destroyed their colony, but they rebuilt it, and would help Earth's heroes to oppose him on several occasions.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nIn recent times, Ikaris met the archaeologist Daniel Damian and his daughter Margo, and accompanied them into an old Eternal city in the Andes, where he awakened Ajak. Ajak began the process to receive the Celestials. These movements alerted the Deviants, who decided to attack New York and to provoke fear in the humans against the coming celestials.[\\[30\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-30) When the Celestials returned to judge the worthiness of their creations a few years ago, the Eternals found themselves clashing with the Deviants again, and decided to publicly reveal their existence to humanity.[\\[31\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-31) Zuras feared what would happen if the Celestials judged unfavorably. They encountered Thor again, and were attacked by Thor's father [Odin](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Odin_\\(Marvel_Comics\\) \"Odin (Marvel Comics)\") and the Olympian gods, who tried to prevent their interfering with the gods' plans to attack the Celestials. Eventually, the Eternals decided to help the gods and formed a Uni-Mind to assist the [Destroyer's](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Destroyer_\\(Thor\\) \"Destroyer (Thor)\") assault on the Celestials.[\\[32\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-32)\n\nThey were forced to dissolve back into Eternals by the Celestials, and the shock of the attack killed Zuras. Before his spirit fully left the material plane, he instructed his daughter Thena to take his people to explore space. Since then, the Eternals have helped Earth's heroes, particularly the [Avengers](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Avengers_\\(comics\\) \"Avengers (comics)\"), against several menaces. They also discovered the existence of the Titanian Eternals.[\\[33\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-33)\n\nSome time later, the Deviant's aristocracy, led by Brother Tode, attacked Olympia, kidnapping the Eternals and intending to disintegrate them. The hero [Iron Man (James Rhodes)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/War_Machine \"War Machine\") rescued the Eternals and helped them defeat the deviants. Then the Eternals transformed the deviant's aristocracy into a synthetic cube, killing them.[\\[34\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-34) The Eternals formed a Uni-Mind to discuss their future on earth, after which most of the Eternals (led by Valkin), went to the stars. But a handful – those most heavily involved in Earthly affairs – remained behind on Earth.[\\[35\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-35) Thena came to lead the remaining Eternals but she wasn't very respected by her subjects.[\\[36\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-36)\n\nWith the ascension of Priestlord Ghaur as leader of the Deviants, the Eternals joined the Avengers in defeating him after he absorbed the power of a Celestial and tried to gain godhood. Meanwhile, Ikaris questioned Thena for her poor choices as leader of the Eternals. She was subtly being controlled by a brain mine put in her by [Kro](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kro_\\(character\\) \"Kro (character)\"). After a special ceremony, Ikaris succeeded her as leader of the Earth's Eternals. The lover of Ikaris, Margo Damian, was captured by Ghaur's minions and was killed as a result of a Deviant experiment on her.[\\[37\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-37)\n\nAfter the death of his daughter, Daniel Damian decided to take revenge against the Deviants and the Eternals. With the help of ancient Eternal machines, he forged a prophecy to incite war between the two races and transformed Ajak in a murderous monster. When his plan was discovered by the Eternals, Ajak reverted to his original form and regretted the killings that he had committed, so he killed Damian and himself.[\\[38\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-38)\n\nThe Eternals Gilgamesh [\\[39\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-39) and Sersi briefly became part of the Superhero team Avengers.[\\[40\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-40) When Sersi became sick with the *Mahd Wy'ry* disease, a uncurable degenerating Eternal disease, Ikaris and other Eternals tried to bring her to Olympia and perform a rite of Cleansing. Sersi rejected the idea, on the basis that the ritual was designed to kill the infected Eternal, and solicited his family to perform the *Gann Josin* bond between her and her lover the [Black Knight](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Black_Knight_\\(Dane_Whitman\\) \"Black Knight (Dane Whitman)\"). Ikaris was furious and performed the bond without consent of the Knight.[\\[41\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-41) Later Thena and other Eternals helped the Avengers in the battle against the Gatherers and Proctor, who was an alternate Black Knight and who infected Sersi with the *Mahd Wy'ry* disease for spite.[\\[42\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-42)\n\nThe Eternals fought once more against Ghaur and the Deviants, with the help of the [Heroes for Hire](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Heroes_for_Hire \"Heroes for Hire\").

Most seemed to have no memory of their own history and abilities, except Ikaris, and few records of their previous appearances remain. The Eternal known as [Sprite](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sprite_\\(Eternal\\) \"Sprite (Eternal)\"), angered at having to remain an eleven-year-old and unable to grow any further, managed to change reality, inducing collective amnesia in the Eternals as well as distorting their perceptions of history. He used a Uni-Mind with the [Dreaming Celestial](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tiamut \"Tiamut\") and other unwilling eternals to achieve his desire, transforming himself in a mortal 11 years old kid.[\\[45\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-45) This can possibly be seen as Gaiman's attempt to [retcon](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Retroactive_continuity \"Retroactive continuity\") some details of the characters; early stories as well as [officially published statistics](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/OHOTMU \"OHOTMU\") portrayed most of the current generation of Eternals – such as Ikaris and Thena – as being \"only\" several tens of thousands of years old but Gaiman's run describes them as being closer to a million years old.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\n[Makkari](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Makkari_\\(character\\) \"Makkari (character)\") was working as a medicine intern, Sersi was planning to kickstart her party planner business. Meanwhile, Thena was working as a weapons scientist in [Stark Industries](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stark_Industries \"Stark Industries\"). She was also married and had a young son. Druig was apparently alive again and he was the Deputy minister of Vorozheika (a fictional post-soviet country). Ikaris contacted Makkari, but he did not believe the eternal's words about the past and rejected him.[\\[46\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-46) Then, Makkari met Sersi again, become attracted to her and accompanied her to a party that she was organizing for Druig of Vorozheika. Thena assisted too. In the party, the amnesic Eternals are attacked by mercenaries of another faction of Vorozheika government. The reunion of the four Eternals triggered a recovery of their powers. Ikaris was captured by two deviants and they were experimenting in ways of destroy his body, until that they seemingly killed him with a particle accelerator.[\\[47\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-47) However, Ikaris was resurrected by a special machine in the Antarctic base of the Eternals. With their returned powers, Druig took control of Vorozheika. Thena frees herself from the mercenaries that captured her and Makkari went to talk to Sprite, who now was a young celebrity. Sprite trapped the amnesic Eternal and told him his plans and the reasons why he did the reality changes.[\\[48\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-48)\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/en\/thumb\/6\/6f\/The_Eternals_2.jpg\/250px-The_Eternals_2.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:The_Eternals_2.jpg)\n\nVariant cover of *The Eternals* (vol. 5) \\#2 (February 2021) by [Jamie McKelvie](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jamie_McKelvie \"Jamie McKelvie\")\n\nIt was uncovered that Ajak had been revived too and that it had been he who contracted the two Deviants. He succeeded in awakening an amnesic Zuras. The two Deviants managed to kidnap Sprite, and the trapped Makkari, using him to awaken the Dreaming Celestial, who was under Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Upon awakening, the Celestial decided to judge humanity. The Eternals, now remembering their past, arrived in San Francisco, and realizing that they cannot stop the Celestial, decided to leave him be. Makkari was transformed by the Celestial into his spokesman. The Deviants called him *Skadrach*, and respected him, because the Dreaming Celestial was adored as their god. Sprite was killed by Zuras because of his actions and the rest of the Eternals then embarked on a quest to find and recruit the other members who had similarly forgotten their true selves due to Sprite's trickery.[\\[49\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-49)\n\nThe Dreaming Celestial told Makkari the reasons for the creation of the Eternals and Deviants, and helped him to find more Eternals. Ajak, jealous of Makkari's new function, manipulated Gilgamesh into killing Makkari. With help of Sersi, Makkari was reborn and the Dreaming Celestial stopped a planned autodestruction.[\\[50\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-50) Then the Eternals stopped the invasion of the Horde.[\\[51\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-51)\n\nWith their numbers completed, and with the new information given by the Dreaming Celestial, the Eternals debated what to do with mankind and the Deviants—leave them alone, protect them or rule them.[\\[52\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-52) They formed another Unimind to decide what to do and decided to hold themselves apart from the mortal world.[\\[53\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-53)\n\nWhen Celestials literally began \"raining\" down on Earth, the Avengers are forced to reunite again and just in time to see the arrival of the Final Host which is composed of Dark Celestials that are each physically unique and were the ones who easily took down their brethren.[\\[54\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-54) In an attempt to learn more about these new breed of Celestials, [Iron Man](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Iron_Man \"Iron Man\") and [Doctor Strange](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Doctor_Strange \"Doctor Strange\") travelled to the Mountains of Greece to try to get some answers from The Eternals. When Stark and Strange arrived, there were no signs of life to be found as almost all of the Eternals were dead, with Strange deducing that the wounds were self-inflicted. Only Ikaris was left barely alive and reveals that the Eternals were never meant to protect Humanity as they thought. Instead, because the Celestials saw the human population as a useful pathogen to act as antibodies against the Horde, the Eternals were created to defend the process under the false impression that they were actually protecting the human race. This discovery drove all Eternals mad which either made them turn against each other or commit suicide. Ikaris is also able to reveal that the only way to prevent the Final Host from unleashing the Horde is the Uni-Mind and sends a message into Stark's mind before dying.[\\[55\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-55)\n\n### Resurrection and their confrontation with Thanos\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=6 \"Edit section: Resurrection and their confrontation with Thanos\")\\]\n\nAfter the events of The Final Host, The Eternals are then revived by the Machine with no memories of their recent events. As Ikaris retrieved Sprite, Zuras was mysteriously murdered, forcing Ikaris and Sprite to retrieve others after encountering the Mad Titan Thanos. Phastos was the first Eternal reborn and learned the shocking truth about the Machine. Every time an Eternal was resurrected from their death, one human life was taken in return, resulting in a devastating outcome. Shocked by this revelation, Phastos vowed to end it by ending the Eternals. So, he rescued Thanos from a black hole and blackmailed the Mad Titan into helping him with his scheme. However, Phastos' plans have backfired when Thanos killed Phastos to hide the truth and worked with Druig to depose Zuras. The Eternals learned the truth after Ikaris sacrificed himself to repair the machine.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nWhen the issue was argued with the Prime Eternal Zuras after his resurrection, it was determined that most Eternals would never agree to change it, as Eternals didn't care about the lives of individual humans. So, several Eternals met with the Deviants of Lemuria, asking them how to become like them. They also learned that Deviants have unstable mutations that the Eternals are programmed by the principles to kill them. Thanos is then elected as the new Prime and succeeded by Unity Mind and disposed of his uncle Zuras as a result. The group infiltrates the Avengers' base to confront Progenitor and learned why the Celestials created the Eternals. While the Eternals stall the Avengers, Ajak gains access to the Progenitor's consciousness and uncovers the truth of their origin. She learned that when the Progenitor died from sickness, the necrofluid began to contaminate life on Earth, which resulted in excess deviation and mutation. The Celstials began designing the Deviants to stabilize the necrofluid, while the Eternals served as antibodies to eliminate the Deviants if the mutations were unstable. After gaining knowledge, the Eternals confronted Thanos, and Druig secretly created a failsafe on Thanos' armory if the latter orchestrated his betrayal. After Thanos' defeat, Druig took over as Prime and began to suspect the mutants' settlement on Krakoa as Deviants, wishing to eliminate them.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\n### A.X.E.: Judgment Day\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=7 \"Edit section: A.X.E.: Judgment Day\")\\]\n\n## Powers and abilities\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Eternals_\\(comics\\)&action=edit&section=8 \"Edit section: Powers and abilities\")\\]\n\nDue to the cosmic energy that suffuses an Eternal's body and the unbreakable mental hold they have over their physiological processes, the Eternals of Earth are effectively immortal.[\\[56\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-56) They live for millennia, do not fatigue from physical exertion, are immune to [disease](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Disease \"Disease\") and [poison](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Poison \"Poison\"), and are unaffected by environmental extremes of cold and heat. Most cannot be injured by conventional weaponry, and even if they somehow are, an Eternal can rapidly regenerate any damage as long as they are able to retain their mental hold over their bodies; this mental bond can be broken. In the 2006 series it was also stated that Eternals are able to absorb oxygen directly from water, and therefore cannot drown. In the same series, Ikaris was plunged into molten metal and experienced great pain, but no physical injury, which the Deviants attributed to a forcefield which protects Ikaris even when unconscious. It is unclear if all Eternals share this degree of protection.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nAt one time, the official limit to the Eternals' durability was such that they could only be permanently destroyed by dispersing their bodies' molecules over a wide area.[\\[57\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-57) This degree of extreme durability was revealed to have increased to a much greater degree; as demonstrated in the 2006 *Eternals* limited series,[\\[58\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2006_2-58) it is shown that even total molecular dispersal is insufficient to destroy an Eternal. As long as \"The Machine\" (a restoration device of Celestial origin; possibly the Earth itself)[\\[59\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2006_6-59) keeps running, any destroyed Eternal will eventually return, as was the case with Ikaris after he was completely vaporized by a [particle accelerator](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Particle_accelerator \"Particle accelerator\") as part of a series of \"experiments\" performed upon him by the Deviants.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nThis same cosmic energy can be channeled for a number of superhuman abilities, including superhuman physical abilities, immortality, flight, energy projection, mind control, teleportation, illusion creation, and elemental transmutation. In addition, groups of Eternals, as few as three at a time,[\\[59\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2006_6-59) can transform into the [Uni-Mind](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gestalt_psychology \"Gestalt psychology\"), a combination of minds that is greater than its constituent parts.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nSome Eternals choose to focus on a particular power to increase their effectiveness with it. [Sersi](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sersi \"Sersi\"), for example, has developed the power of transmutation further than any other Eternal. Additionally, some Eternals choose to focus their cosmic energies into other, non-standard abilities. [Ikaris](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ikaris \"Ikaris\"), for example, channels cosmic energy to greatly enhance his senses, while [the Interloper](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Interloper_\\(comics\\) \"Interloper (comics)\") uses his to generate fear in others, and [Makkari](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Makkari_\\(character\\) \"Makkari (character)\") uses his cosmic energies for superspeed.\\[*[citation needed](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wikipedia:Citation_needed \"Wikipedia:Citation needed\")*\\]\n\nThe 2006 [retcon](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Retcon \"Retcon\") of the Eternals' origins and abilities introduces a significant limitation to their powers, and possibly to their free will, with numerous references to Eternals being \"programmed\" or \"hardwired.\" They cannot attack their Celestial \"masters\" for any reason, whether they make a conscious decision to do so or are tricked into accidentally striking the beings.[\\[60\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2006_4-60)[\\[61\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-61) Any such attempt shuts down the body of the attacking Eternal and is implied to be an automatic defense mechanism of the Celestials' armor.[\\[62\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-62) On one occasion, when the Eternals attempted to form a Uni-Mind with the intent of keeping the [Dreaming Celestial](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tiamut \"Tiamut\") asleep, they were shut down and reverted to their original forms. Furthermore, Eternals are compelled to attack and neutralize any being that attacks a Celestial.[\\[63\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-63)\n\nAs presented in Gaiman's Volume 3, the Eternals are aware of their role on Earth and the duties and constraints placed on them by the Celestials. Ikaris describes himself as the Earth's repair and maintenance unit.[\\[60\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2006_4-60) Zuras phrased the same concept more philosophically: \"We are the Eternals. We are the court of last resort for humanity and for all living things on Earth. \\[...\\] We do not choose sides. Countries are lines in the sand, empires rise and fall. We are timeless. We will still be here tomorrow, and a hundred centuries from now.\"[\\[59\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-2006_6-59)\n\nThe Eternals are split between five different generationals groups:[\\[64\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eternals_\\(comics\\)#cite_note-64)\n\n- **First Generation Eternal** (*those born before the fall of Titanos*): Arlok, Astron, Daina, Kronos\/Chronos\/Chronus, Master Elo, Oceanus, Shastra, Thyrio, Uranos.\n- **Second Generation Eternal** (*those alive at the time of Chronus's experiment*): [Mentor (A'lars)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mentor_\\(A%27lars\\) \"Mentor (A'lars)\"), Amaa, Cybele, [Forgotten One](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Forgotten_One_\\(character\\) \"Forgotten One (character)\")\/Gilgamesh, Helios, Perse, Rakar, Tulayn, Valkin, Virako, Zuras.\n- **Third Generation Eternal** (*those born after Chronos's experiment but before the Second Host*): Aginar, [Ajak](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ajak \"Ajak\"), Arex, Atlo, Domo, [Ikaris](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ikaris \"Ikaris\"), Interloper, Mara, [Phastos](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Phastos \"Phastos\"), Sigmar, [Thanos](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thanos \"Thanos\"), [Thena](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thena \"Thena\"), Veron, Zarin, Eros\n- **Fourth Generation Eternal** (*those born after the coming of the Second Host, 20,000 years ago*): Argos, Ceyote, Chi Demon, the Delphan brothers, [Druig](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Druig \"Druig\"), Khoryphos, [Makkari](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Makkari_\\(character\\) \"Makkari (character)\"), Psykos, [Sersi](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sersi \"Sersi\"), [Kingo](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kingo_Sunen \"Kingo Sunen\") Sunen, El Vampiro.\n- **Fifth Generation Eternal** (*those born after the coming of the Third Host, 3,000 years ago*): Aurelle, [Sprite](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sprite_\\(Eternal\\) \"Sprite (Eternal)\"), Titanis.\n\n- [Arthur C.

They were created by Jack Kirby , making their first appearance in The Eternals #1 (July 1976). [ 1 ] In the Marvel Universe , the Eternals are an offshoot of humanity known as Homo immortalis which were created one million years ago by the enigmatic alien Celestials to defend Earth with their superhuman powers and abilities. Their primary adversaries are the Deviants , who share a similar origin and pose a regular threat to humanity. Due to their virtual immortality, Eternals have largely secluded themselves from humans, with their god-like status forming the basis of various mythological figures around the world. Since their appearance, the Eternals have had several of their own series, in addition to crossing into other titles, such as Thor and X-Men . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] They made their live action film debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with their own feature film Eternals , directed by Chloé Zhao , which was released November 5, 2021. [ 4 ] Publication history [ edit ] In 1970, Jack Kirby left Marvel Comics to work at DC Comics , where he began the saga of the New Gods , an epic story involving mythological and science fiction concepts. Though he had planned for a definitive ending, the series was abruptly cancelled. Upon his return to Marvel, Kirby continued exploring his interest in mythological science fiction through The Eternals . [ 5 ] Originally titled "The Celestials", Marvel changed the title to "Return of the Gods", whose comic book cover bore stylistics similarities to Erich von Daniken 's book Chariots of the Gods? . To avoid potential legal issues, the name was again changed to “Eternals". [ 6 ] The Eternals' saga was thematically similar to the New Gods' and it shared the same fate: Kirby's new series also was eventually canceled without resolving many of its plots. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Writers Roy Thomas and Mark Gruenwald used the Eternals in a Thor storyline that concluded in Thor #301, [ 10 ] resolving those lingering plotlines. Subsequent to the Thor storyline, the Eternals (and the mythology connected to them) have appeared or been mentioned in numerous Marvel comics. [ 9 ] [ 7 ] In particular, the Celestials' experiment on humanity has been used to explain how certain humans can develop super-powers. The Titanians (created by Jim Starlin ) and Uranians (created by Stan Lee ) [ 11 ] were later retconned as being Eternals as well. [ 12 ] [ 9 ] The Eternals returned for a 12-issue miniseries in 1985 under writer Peter B. Gillis and penciler Sal Buscema . [ 7 ] [ 13 ] [ 14 ] According to comic-book historian Peter Sanderson , "editor in chief Jim Shooter disliked Gillis's scripts, so Walter Simonson wrote the final four issues." [ 15 ] In 2000, a one-shot comic called New Eternals: Apocalypse Now #1 featured an older conflict between the Eternals and X-Men villain Apocalypse. In 2003, writer Chuck Austen and artist Kev Walker rebooted the franchise for Marvel's mature readers-focused MAX imprint, resulting in The Eternal . [ 7 ] [ 16 ] The Eternal series from Marvel's MAX imprint written by Chuck Austen was based on an idea he had been working on for a while: "I pitched this back when I first started working at Marvel, but Joe Quesada was against doing it. He saw no future in this particular old Kirby concept." Austen described the plot as involving "Ikaeden, the leader of the Eternals, who arrives on Earth at the dawn of man, and evolves humankind from Homo erectus so he can use them as slaves to mine raw materials for the Celestials, his bosses, basically," as well as "Kurassus, who is the second-in-command of the mining mission, and who is determined to undermine Ikaeden and kill Ikaeden's precious slave-girl and son." [ 17 ] In an interview with Newsarama he gave an outline of his planned plot: In this version, we take some of the concepts from [the original series] and build around them, throwing away some stuff and keeping others. We're actually going back in time to see Ikaris birth and development on Earth, meet his parents, and then move forward into contemporary time. When we get to contemporary time, the Celestials return to judge Earth, but there's no fifty-year 'study and evaluation period.' We've already been judged and found wanting, too violent to be allowed to flourish and spread, and Ikaris and the others have to stop the Celestials, who consider us their property, from destroying the entire planet as they have done to many others, including another in the Solar System . [ 18 ] Planned as an ongoing series, [ 17 ] it was cancelled after six issues. [ 19 ] Neil Gaiman , [ 20 ] [ 21 ] with artist John Romita, Jr. , [ 22 ] created a 2006 miniseries, which helped bring the Eternals' role in the modern Marvel Universe up-to-date. [ 23 ] Solicited as a six-issue series, an extra issue was added to the run, because, according to editor Nick Lowe , "There was too much story to fit into the structure we set for ourselves. Neil was starting issue five and told me that he might need a seventh issue. He just had too much story to fit in six issues (even with the first and sixth double-sized)." [ 24 ] A fourth Eternals series ran as an ongoing series for nine issues and one annual from August 2008 – March 2009. The Eternals returned in Jason Aaron 's Avengers , a story arc involving the Dark Celestials , which saw the Eternals all killed in the fourth issue. However, the characters were resurrected in their new ongoing series launched in January 2021 by writer Kieron Gillen and artist Esad Ribić . [ 9 ] [ 25 ] When the Celestials visited Earth 1,000,000 years ago and performed genetic experiments on early proto-humans , they created two divergent races: the long-lived Eternals, and the genetically unstable and monstrously grotesque Deviants . These experiments also led to the capacity for super-powered mutations in humans. They also performed this experiment on other planets (such as the Kree and Skrull homeworlds) with similar results. Despite looking human, Eternals are much longer-lived (but were not originally fully immortal ), and that kept them from having much contact with their human cousins. Eternals have a low birth rate; they can interbreed with humans but the result is always a normal human (although Thena 's son, Joey Athena seems to have become an Eternal with long-lived properties and powers). [ 26 ] Despite this, the Eternals have in general protected the human race, especially from the Deviants, with whom they have always had an enmity. The Eternals also developed advanced technology. [ citation needed ] Long ago, a civil war broke out amongst the Eternals over whether to conquer the other races, with one faction led by Kronos and the other by his warlike brother, Uranos. Kronos's side prevailed, and Uranos and his defeated faction left Earth and journeyed to Uranus where they built a colony. Some of Uranos's group soon tried to return to Earth to re-kindle the war, but they were attacked by a passing Kree ship and forced to land on Saturn's moon Titan . There they built another colony (experiments performed by Kree scientists on a captured Eternal led them to go to Earth and perform their genetic experiments on a group of humans, thus creating the Inhumans ). [ citation needed ] One day, Kronos's experiments in cosmic energy caused a catastrophic release of energy throughout the Eternals' city, Titanos, destroying it, activating latent genes in the Eternals, and disintegrating the scientist's body. The Eternals now found they could channel large quantities of cosmic energy themselves, granting them near-godlike power. The accident left Kronos in an immaterial state, so a new leader had to be chosen. For the first time, the Eternals merged into a single being, the Uni-Mind, to decide which of Kronos's sons, Zuras or A'lars should be the new leader. Zuras was chosen to be the Prime Eternal, and A'lars chose to leave Earth to avoid causing another civil war and journeyed to Titan. [ citation needed ] There he found that a war (allegedly caused by the Dragon of the Moon ) had erupted on Titan and wiped out all but one member, a woman named Sui-San . A'lars fell in love with her, and in time they repopulated Titan. Due to the mix of activated genes from A'lars and unactivated ones from Sui-San, these new Titanian Eternals are not as powerful or immortal as Terran Eternals, but are more powerful and longer-lived than the earlier pre-civil war Titanian Eternals. [ citation needed ] While Zuras ruled, three new Eternal cities were built. The first was Olympia, located in the mountains of Greece, near the main portal between the Earth dimension and the Olympians' home dimension, which led many ancient Greeks to confuse some of the godlike Eternals with members of the Olympian pantheon. Eventually, an agreement was reached with the gods where some Eternals, such as Thena, would impersonate the Olympians before their worshipers. The other two Eternal cities were Polaria (located in Siberia) and Oceana (in the Pacific). [ citation needed ] 18,000 years ago, the Celestials returned to Earth. The Deviants attacked them, but the Celestials counterattacked, resulting in the sinking of Mu and Atlantis , and much worldwide havoc. The Eternals helped rescue many humans. An Eternal named Valkin was entrusted by the Celestials with an artifact of great power for safekeeping. [ citation needed ] At some point during the early centuries, Ikaris and the Eternals came into conflict with the immortal mutant, Apocalypse . This conflict ended when Ikaris and the Eternals defeated him. Ikaris believed Apocalypse was dead. [ citation needed ] 1,000 years ago, the Asgardian god Thor encountered some Eternals, but the encounter was erased from his mind, to prevent him from learning about the Celestials, who were about to return to Earth. An Eternal named Ajak became the Celestials' spokesperson, and put himself to sleep when the Celestials left, to wait for their return 1,000 years later to judge humanity. [ citation needed ] During the early 20th century, a human scientist made contact with the Uranian Eternals and was taken to live with them along with his young son, who would later become Marvel Boy . [ 27 ] The Uranians were eventually killed by Deathurge . [ 28 ] After World War II, some Eternals allied with humans and Deviants to form the Damocles Foundation, which tried to create a new breed of superhuman to rule Earth. [ 29 ] Some Eternals, such as Makkari , were also active as superheroes , or living amongst humans, keeping their true nature hidden. The Eternals also helped to move the Inhumans' city to the Himalayas to keep it hidden. [ citation needed ] At some point, Thanos of the Eternals of Titan nearly destroyed their colony, but they rebuilt it, and would help Earth's heroes to oppose him on several occasions. [ citation needed ] In recent times, Ikaris met the archaeologist Daniel Damian and his daughter Margo, and accompanied them into an old Eternal city in the Andes, where he awakened Ajak. Ajak began the process to receive the Celestials. These movements alerted the Deviants, who decided to attack New York and to provoke fear in the humans against the coming celestials. [ 30 ] When the Celestials returned to judge the worthiness of their creations a few years ago, the Eternals found themselves clashing with the Deviants again, and decided to publicly reveal their existence to humanity. [ 31 ] Zuras feared what would happen if the Celestials judged unfavorably. They encountered Thor again, and were attacked by Thor's father Odin and the Olympian gods, who tried to prevent their interfering with the gods' plans to attack the Celestials. Eventually, the Eternals decided to help the gods and formed a Uni-Mind to assist the Destroyer's assault on the Celestials. [ 32 ] They were forced to dissolve back into Eternals by the Celestials, and the shock of the attack killed Zuras. Before his spirit fully left the material plane, he instructed his daughter Thena to take his people to explore space. Since then, the Eternals have helped Earth's heroes, particularly the Avengers , against several menaces. They also discovered the existence of the Titanian Eternals. [ 33 ] Some time later, the Deviant's aristocracy, led by Brother Tode, attacked Olympia, kidnapping the Eternals and intending to disintegrate them. The hero Iron Man (James Rhodes) rescued the Eternals and helped them defeat the deviants. Then the Eternals transformed the deviant's aristocracy into a synthetic cube, killing them. [ 34 ] The Eternals formed a Uni-Mind to discuss their future on earth, after which most of the Eternals (led by Valkin), went to the stars. But a handful – those most heavily involved in Earthly affairs – remained behind on Earth. [ 35 ] Thena came to lead the remaining Eternals but she wasn't very respected by her subjects. [ 36 ] With the ascension of Priestlord Ghaur as leader of the Deviants, the Eternals joined the Avengers in defeating him after he absorbed the power of a Celestial and tried to gain godhood. Meanwhile, Ikaris questioned Thena for her poor choices as leader of the Eternals. She was subtly being controlled by a brain mine put in her by Kro . After a special ceremony, Ikaris succeeded her as leader of the Earth's Eternals. The lover of Ikaris, Margo Damian, was captured by Ghaur's minions and was killed as a result of a Deviant experiment on her. [ 37 ] After the death of his daughter, Daniel Damian decided to take revenge against the Deviants and the Eternals. With the help of ancient Eternal machines, he forged a prophecy to incite war between the two races and transformed Ajak in a murderous monster. When his plan was discovered by the Eternals, Ajak reverted to his original form and regretted the killings that he had committed, so he killed Damian and himself. [ 38 ] The Eternals Gilgamesh [ 39 ] and Sersi briefly became part of the Superhero team Avengers. [ 40 ] When Sersi became sick with the Mahd Wy'ry disease, a uncurable degenerating Eternal disease, Ikaris and other Eternals tried to bring her to Olympia and perform a rite of Cleansing. Sersi rejected the idea, on the basis that the ritual was designed to kill the infected Eternal, and solicited his family to perform the Gann Josin bond between her and her lover the Black Knight . Ikaris was furious and performed the bond without consent of the Knight. [ 41 ] Later Thena and other Eternals helped the Avengers in the battle against the Gatherers and Proctor, who was an alternate Black Knight and who infected Sersi with the Mahd Wy'ry disease for spite. [ 42 ] The Eternals fought once more against Ghaur and the Deviants, with the help of the Heroes for Hire . The mad priest tried to form an Anti-Mind with some captured eternals, to defeat any invasion of the Celestials. [ 43 ] Later they were at odds with Apocalypse and briefly posed as a superhero team called the New Breed . [ 44 ] Cover of New Eternals: Apocalypse Now #1 (February 2000) by Joe Bennett Memory loss and the Dreaming Celestial [ edit ] The Eternals began reappearing on Earth in Neil Gaiman 's new take on the immortal beings. Most seemed to have no memory of their own history and abilities, except Ikaris, and few records of their previous appearances remain. The Eternal known as Sprite , angered at having to remain an eleven-year-old and unable to grow any further, managed to change reality, inducing collective amnesia in the Eternals as well as distorting their perceptions of history. He used a Uni-Mind with the Dreaming Celestial and other unwilling eternals to achieve his desire, transforming himself in a mortal 11 years old kid. [ 45 ] This can possibly be seen as Gaiman's attempt to retcon some details of the characters; early stories as well as officially published statistics portrayed most of the current generation of Eternals – such as Ikaris and Thena – as being "only" several tens of thousands of years old but Gaiman's run describes them as being closer to a million years old. [ citation needed ] Makkari was working as a medicine intern, Sersi was planning to kickstart her party planner business. Meanwhile, Thena was working as a weapons scientist in Stark Industries . She was also married and had a young son. Druig was apparently alive again and he was the Deputy minister of Vorozheika (a fictional post-soviet country). Ikaris contacted Makkari, but he did not believe the eternal's words about the past and rejected him. [ 46 ] Then, Makkari met Sersi again, become attracted to her and accompanied her to a party that she was organizing for Druig of Vorozheika. Thena assisted too. In the party, the amnesic Eternals are attacked by mercenaries of another faction of Vorozheika government. The reunion of the four Eternals triggered a recovery of their powers. Ikaris was captured by two deviants and they were experimenting in ways of destroy his body, until that they seemingly killed him with a particle accelerator. [ 47 ] However, Ikaris was resurrected by a special machine in the Antarctic base of the Eternals. With their returned powers, Druig took control of Vorozheika. Thena frees herself from the mercenaries that captured her and Makkari went to talk to Sprite, who now was a young celebrity. Sprite trapped the amnesic Eternal and told him his plans and the reasons why he did the reality changes. [ 48 ] Variant cover of The Eternals (vol. 5) #2 (February 2021) by Jamie McKelvie It was uncovered that Ajak had been revived too and that it had been he who contracted the two Deviants. He succeeded in awakening an amnesic Zuras. The two Deviants managed to kidnap Sprite, and the trapped Makkari, using him to awaken the Dreaming Celestial, who was under Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Upon awakening, the Celestial decided to judge humanity. The Eternals, now remembering their past, arrived in San Francisco, and realizing that they cannot stop the Celestial, decided to leave him be. Makkari was transformed by the Celestial into his spokesman. The Deviants called him Skadrach , and respected him, because the Dreaming Celestial was adored as their god. Sprite was killed by Zuras because of his actions and the rest of the Eternals then embarked on a quest to find and recruit the other members who had similarly forgotten their true selves due to Sprite's trickery. [ 49 ] The Dreaming Celestial told Makkari the reasons for the creation of the Eternals and Deviants, and helped him to find more Eternals. Ajak, jealous of Makkari's new function, manipulated Gilgamesh into killing Makkari. With help of Sersi, Makkari was reborn and the Dreaming Celestial stopped a planned autodestruction. [ 50 ] Then the Eternals stopped the invasion of the Horde. [ 51 ] With their numbers completed, and with the new information given by the Dreaming Celestial, the Eternals debated what to do with mankind and the Deviants—leave them alone, protect them or rule them. [ 52 ] They formed another Unimind to decide what to do and decided to hold themselves apart from the mortal world. [ 53 ] When Celestials literally began "raining" down on Earth, the Avengers are forced to reunite again and just in time to see the arrival of the Final Host which is composed of Dark Celestials that are each physically unique and were the ones who easily took down their brethren. [ 54 ] In an attempt to learn more about these new breed of Celestials, Iron Man and Doctor Strange travelled to the Mountains of Greece to try to get some answers from The Eternals. When Stark and Strange arrived, there were no signs of life to be found as almost all of the Eternals were dead, with Strange deducing that the wounds were self-inflicted. Only Ikaris was left barely alive and reveals that the Eternals were never meant to protect Humanity as they thought. Instead, because the Celestials saw the human population as a useful pathogen to act as antibodies against the Horde, the Eternals were created to defend the process under the false impression that they were actually protecting the human race. This discovery drove all Eternals mad which either made them turn against each other or commit suicide. Ikaris is also able to reveal that the only way to prevent the Final Host from unleashing the Horde is the Uni-Mind and sends a message into Stark's mind before dying. [ 55 ] Resurrection and their confrontation with Thanos [ edit ] After the events of The Final Host, The Eternals are then revived by the Machine with no memories of their recent events. As Ikaris retrieved Sprite, Zuras was mysteriously murdered, forcing Ikaris and Sprite to retrieve others after encountering the Mad Titan Thanos. Phastos was the first Eternal reborn and learned the shocking truth about the Machine. Every time an Eternal was resurrected from their death, one human life was taken in return, resulting in a devastating outcome. Shocked by this revelation, Phastos vowed to end it by ending the Eternals. So, he rescued Thanos from a black hole and blackmailed the Mad Titan into helping him with his scheme. However, Phastos' plans have backfired when Thanos killed Phastos to hide the truth and worked with Druig to depose Zuras. The Eternals learned the truth after Ikaris sacrificed himself to repair the machine. [ citation needed ] When the issue was argued with the Prime Eternal Zuras after his resurrection, it was determined that most Eternals would never agree to change it, as Eternals didn't care about the lives of individual humans. So, several Eternals met with the Deviants of Lemuria, asking them how to become like them. They also learned that Deviants have unstable mutations that the Eternals are programmed by the principles to kill them. Thanos is then elected as the new Prime and succeeded by Unity Mind and disposed of his uncle Zuras as a result. The group infiltrates the Avengers' base to confront Progenitor and learned why the Celestials created the Eternals. While the Eternals stall the Avengers, Ajak gains access to the Progenitor's consciousness and uncovers the truth of their origin. She learned that when the Progenitor died from sickness, the necrofluid began to contaminate life on Earth, which resulted in excess deviation and mutation. The Celstials began designing the Deviants to stabilize the necrofluid, while the Eternals served as antibodies to eliminate the Deviants if the mutations were unstable. After gaining knowledge, the Eternals confronted Thanos, and Druig secretly created a failsafe on Thanos' armory if the latter orchestrated his betrayal. After Thanos' defeat, Druig took over as Prime and began to suspect the mutants' settlement on Krakoa as Deviants, wishing to eliminate them. [ citation needed ] A.X.E.: Judgment Day [ edit ] Powers and abilities [ edit ] Due to the cosmic energy that suffuses an Eternal's body and the unbreakable mental hold they have over their physiological processes, the Eternals of Earth are effectively immortal. [ 56 ] They live for millennia, do not fatigue from physical exertion, are immune to disease and poison , and are unaffected by environmental extremes of cold and heat. Most cannot be injured by conventional weaponry, and even if they somehow are, an Eternal can rapidly regenerate any damage as long as they are able to retain their mental hold over their bodies; this mental bond can be broken. In the 2006 series it was also stated that Eternals are able to absorb oxygen directly from water, and therefore cannot drown. In the same series, Ikaris was plunged into molten metal and experienced great pain, but no physical injury, which the Deviants attributed to a forcefield which protects Ikaris even when unconscious. It is unclear if all Eternals share this degree of protection. [ citation needed ] At one time, the official limit to the Eternals' durability was such that they could only be permanently destroyed by dispersing their bodies' molecules over a wide area. [ 57 ] This degree of extreme durability was revealed to have increased to a much greater degree; as demonstrated in the 2006 Eternals limited series, [ 58 ] it is shown that even total molecular dispersal is insufficient to destroy an Eternal. As long as "The Machine" (a restoration device of Celestial origin; possibly the Earth itself) [ 59 ] keeps running, any destroyed Eternal will eventually return, as was the case with Ikaris after he was completely vaporized by a particle accelerator as part of a series of "experiments" performed upon him by the Deviants. [ citation needed ] This same cosmic energy can be channeled for a number of superhuman abilities, including superhuman physical abilities, immortality, flight, energy projection, mind control, teleportation, illusion creation, and elemental transmutation. In addition, groups of Eternals, as few as three at a time, [ 59 ] can transform into the Uni-Mind , a combination of minds that is greater than its constituent parts. [ citation needed ] Some Eternals choose to focus on a particular power to increase their effectiveness with it. Sersi , for example, has developed the power of transmutation further than any other Eternal. Additionally, some Eternals choose to focus their cosmic energies into other, non-standard abilities. Ikaris , for example, channels cosmic energy to greatly enhance his senses, while the Interloper uses his to generate fear in others, and Makkari uses his cosmic energies for superspeed. [ citation needed ] The 2006 retcon of the Eternals' origins and abilities introduces a significant limitation to their powers, and possibly to their free will, with numerous references to Eternals being "programmed" or "hardwired." They cannot attack their Celestial "masters" for any reason, whether they make a conscious decision to do so or are tricked into accidentally striking the beings. [ 60 ] [ 61 ] Any such attempt shuts down the body of the attacking Eternal and is implied to be an automatic defense mechanism of the Celestials' armor. [ 62 ] On one occasion, when the Eternals attempted to form a Uni-Mind with the intent of keeping the Dreaming Celestial asleep, they were shut down and reverted to their original forms. Furthermore, Eternals are compelled to attack and neutralize any being that attacks a Celestial. [ 63 ] As presented in Gaiman's Volume 3, the Eternals are aware of their role on Earth and the duties and constraints placed on them by the Celestials. Ikaris describes himself as the Earth's repair and maintenance unit. [ 60 ] Zuras phrased the same concept more philosophically: "We are the Eternals. We are the court of last resort for humanity and for all living things on Earth. [...] We do not choose sides. Countries are lines in the sand, empires rise and fall. We are timeless. We will still be here tomorrow, and a hundred centuries from now." [ 59 ] The Eternals are split between five different generationals groups: [ 64 ] First Generation Eternal ( those born before the fall of Titanos ): Arlok, Astron, Daina, Kronos/Chronos/Chronus, Master Elo, Oceanus, Shastra, Thyrio, Uranos. Second Generation Eternal ( those alive at the time of Chronus's experiment ): Mentor (A'lars) , Amaa, Cybele, Forgotten One /Gilgamesh, Helios, Perse, Rakar, Tulayn, Valkin, Virako, Zuras. Third Generation Eternal ( those born after Chronos's experiment but before the Second Host ): Aginar, Ajak , Arex, Atlo, Domo, Ikaris , Interloper, Mara, Phastos , Sigmar, Thanos , Thena , Veron, Zarin, Eros Fourth Generation Eternal ( those born after the coming of the Second Host, 20,000 years ago ): Argos, Ceyote, Chi Demon, the Delphan brothers, Druig , Khoryphos, Makkari , Psykos, Sersi , Kingo Sunen, El Vampiro. Fifth Generation Eternal ( those born after the coming of the Third Host, 3,000 years ago ): Aurelle, Sprite , Titanis. Arthur C. Clarke 's book Childhood's End from 1953 provided inspiration, including the idea of "Overlords" who control Earth's fate and will reveal themselves further after a 50-year waiting period, the idea of demons being humanity's memory of another species, and the "Overmind" concept which seems to influence the comic's "Uni-Mind". Mercury and Hurricane, two characters depicted by Jack Kirby through Timely Comics , the 1940s predecessor of Marvel, were retconned as being guises of the Eternal Makkari. [ 65 ] Jeremy Brown of Game Rant ranked the Eternals 6th in their "Marvel: Best Superhero Teams" list. [ 66 ] Marc Buxton of Den of Geek ranked the Eternals 7th in their "Guardians of the Galaxy 3: 50 Marvel Characters We Want to See" list. [ 67 ] The Eternals comic book series won Best Lettering and was nominated for Best Archival Collection/Project—Comic Books at the 2007 Eisner Awards . [ 68 ] [ 69 ] [ 70 ] Marc Buxton of Den of Geek stated, "Jack Kirby delivered the original electrifying Eternals saga. Other than a Hulk robot (because reasons), there was no mention of the Marvel Universe anywhere in this series. But this was Kirby at his 1970s finest, getting all metaphysical and theological as he combined his imaginative saga with real world legend. Sersi does also turn a man's face into Ben Grimm's The Thing face in her introduction." [ 71 ] According to Diamond Comic Distributors , Eternals #1 was the 17th best selling comic book in June 2006. [ 72 ] [ 73 ] [ 74 ] Eternals #2 was the 28th best selling comic book in July 2006. [ 75 ] [ 76 ] [ 77 ] Eternals #3 was the 28th best selling comic book in August 2006. [ 78 ] [ 79 ] [ 80 ] Jared Gaudreau of Comic Book Resources asserted, "The seven-issue mini-series covered previous themes like creation and did an excellent job expanding Eternals lore and adding numerous new side characters. One of those great additions came in the form of a love interest for Thena named Thomas Eliot." [ 81 ] Marc Buxton of Den of Geek wrote, "This is a must read for any fan of American Gods as Gaiman and Romita examine recurring themes of mythology made real and they channel it all through a magnificent Kirby lens. Do not be surprised if the coming film borrows liberally from this fantastic series." [ 71 ] Colin Cheney of Fatherly said, "The series is a good, grounded way to enter the Eternals-verse: Romita's art is appropriately bombastic, and we get some good bang-pow comics action—but it's also pretty talky (because it's Neil Gaiman). But also because it's Neil Gaiman we get a nice right hook to the jaw of the problematic inspiration behind Kirby's original comic." [ 82 ] According to Diamond Comic Distributors , Eternals #1 was the 52nd best selling comic book in June 2008. [ 83 ] [ 84 ] [ 85 ] K. Thor Jensen of PCMag called the Eternals comic book series the "last high-profile attempt to reboot the concept," stating, "This was the bridge that brought the group into the modern era, and it's a very solid read." [ 86 ] Eric Diaz of Nerdist included the comic book series in their "Essential Eternals Comics" list, writing, "Daniel Acuna provided memorable pencil art. In this short-lived comic, the Eternals are more intimately tied to the X-Men, with stories that crossed over with the mutant's time in San Francisco. When the Dreaming Celestial awakens and towers over the mutant home city, it forces the Eternals to take action. Not one of the most well-known runs, and it only lasted eight issues and one Annual. But it is worth a read for sure." [ 87 ] According to data combined from all direct market distributors, Eternals #1 was the 4th best selling comic book in January 2021. [ 88 ] [ 89 ] Matthew Sibley of Newsarama asserted, " Eternals #1 is not just a fresh start for the creative team and for potential readers, but also for the Eternals themselves to define who they are." [ 90 ] Barry Thompson of Polygon said, "In terms of execution, Eternals #1 is extremely good. Gillen introduces and entices the uninitiated without bogging itself down with exposition or patronizing anybody who brings some prior knowledge to the table. As far as fulfilling its primary functions, Eternals #1 checks all the necessary boxes." [ 91 ] Colin Cheney of Fatherly asserted, "Esad Ribic's artwork — and the colors by Matthew Wilson — is quite beautiful and cinematic. The storytelling is sharp and clear: Gillen has a witty, wry way of letting his characters reveal themselves and the wider world. We get a good sense of the characters' personalities (particularly Ikaris and Sprite) quite quickly… And hell: you get a little bit of Iron Man." [ 82 ] Adam Barnhardt of ComicBook.com gave Eternals #1 a grade of 4 out of 5, saying, "Readers looking for a strong character-driven story serving study on the likes of Ikaris, Sprite, and the remaining Eternals will find Gillen and Ribić's Eternals #1 to be a delightful read. Readers looking for something akin to a blockbuster event may need to keep looking, save for an epic, applause-inducing cliffhanger. It's an intriguing new start for readers new and old, alike and, at the very least, it's evident this creative team is setting out to establish a definitive take for one of Marvel's biggest unproven ideas." [ 92 ] The Eternals appear in a self-titled Marvel Cinematic Universe film, released on November 5, 2021. [ 93 ] [ 94 ] [ 95 ] [ 96 ] It stars Gemma Chan as Sersi , Richard Madden as Ikaris , Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo , Lia McHugh as Sprite , Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos , Lauren Ridloff as Makkari , Barry Keoghan as Druig , Don Lee as Gilgamesh , Salma Hayek as Ajak and Angelina Jolie as Thena .

They were created by [Jack Kirby](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kirby "Jack Kirby"), making their first appearance in The Eternals \#1 (July 1976).[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-1) In the [Marvel Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Universe "Marvel Universe"), the Eternals are an offshoot of humanity known as *Homo immortalis* which were created one million years ago by the enigmatic [alien](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial_life "Extraterrestrial life") [Celestials](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_\(comics\) "Celestial (comics)") to defend Earth with their superhuman powers and abilities. Their primary adversaries are the [Deviants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviant_\(comics\) "Deviant (comics)"), who share a similar origin and pose a regular threat to humanity. Due to their virtual immortality, Eternals have largely secluded themselves from humans, with their god-like status forming the basis of various mythological figures around the world. Since their appearance, the Eternals have had several of their own series, in addition to crossing into other titles, such as Thor and X-Men.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2)[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-3) They made their live action film debut in the [Marvel Cinematic Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe "Marvel Cinematic Universe") with their own feature film [Eternals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\) "Eternals (film)"), directed by [Chloé Zhao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlo%C3%A9_Zhao "Chloé Zhao"), which was released November 5, 2021.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-Phase4DelayAgain-4) ## Publication history \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Publication history")\] In 1970, Jack Kirby left Marvel Comics to work at [DC Comics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Comics "DC Comics"), where he began the saga of the [New Gods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Gods "New Gods"), an epic story involving mythological and science fiction concepts. Though he had planned for a definitive ending, the series was abruptly cancelled. Upon his return to Marvel, Kirby continued exploring his interest in mythological science fiction through The Eternals.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-5) Originally titled "The Celestials", Marvel changed the title to "Return of the Gods", whose comic book cover bore stylistics similarities to [Erich von Daniken](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_von_Daniken "Erich von Daniken")'s book [Chariots of the Gods?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chariots_of_the_Gods%3F "Chariots of the Gods?"). To avoid potential legal issues, the name was again changed to “Eternals".[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-6) The Eternals' saga was thematically similar to the New Gods' and it shared the same fate: Kirby's new series also was eventually canceled without resolving many of its plots.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-IGNEternals-7)[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-denofgeek-8)[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-io9-9) Writers [Roy Thomas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Thomas "Roy Thomas") and [Mark Gruenwald](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Gruenwald "Mark Gruenwald") used the Eternals in a [Thor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Thor (Marvel Comics)") storyline that concluded in Thor \#301,[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-10) resolving those lingering plotlines. Subsequent to the Thor storyline, the Eternals (and the mythology connected to them) have appeared or been mentioned in numerous Marvel comics.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-io9-9)[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-IGNEternals-7) In particular, the Celestials' experiment on humanity has been used to explain how certain humans can develop super-powers. The [Titanians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_\(Marvel_Comics_location\) "Titan (Marvel Comics location)") (created by [Jim Starlin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Starlin "Jim Starlin")) and [Uranians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranian_\(comics\) "Uranian (comics)") (created by [Stan Lee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Lee "Stan Lee"))[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-11) were later [retconned](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroactive_continuity "Retroactive continuity") as being Eternals as well.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-12)[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-io9-9) The Eternals returned for a 12-issue [miniseries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniseries "Miniseries") in 1985 under writer [Peter B.

In 2003, writer [Chuck Austen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Austen "Chuck Austen") and artist [Kev Walker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kev_Walker "Kev Walker") rebooted the franchise for Marvel's mature readers-focused MAX imprint, resulting in The Eternal.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-IGNEternals-7)[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-16) The Eternal series from Marvel's [MAX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAX_\(comics\) "MAX (comics)") imprint written by [Chuck Austen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Austen "Chuck Austen") was based on an idea he had been working on for a while: "I pitched this back when I first started working at Marvel, but Joe Quesada was against doing it. He saw no future in this particular old Kirby concept." Austen described the plot as involving "Ikaeden, the leader of the Eternals, who arrives on Earth at the dawn of man, and evolves humankind from [Homo erectus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_erectus "Homo erectus") so he can use them as slaves to mine raw materials for the Celestials, his bosses, basically," as well as "Kurassus, who is the second-in-command of the mining mission, and who is determined to undermine Ikaeden and kill Ikaeden's precious slave-girl and son."[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-cbr1944-17) In an interview with [Newsarama](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsarama "Newsarama") he gave an outline of his planned plot: > In this version, we take some of the concepts from \[the original series\] and build around them, throwing away some stuff and keeping others. We're actually going back in time to see Ikaris birth and development on Earth, meet his parents, and then move forward into contemporary time. When we get to contemporary time, the Celestials return to judge Earth, but there's no fifty-year 'study and evaluation period.' We've already been judged and found wanting, too violent to be allowed to flourish and spread, and Ikaris and the others have to stop the Celestials, who consider us their property, from destroying the entire planet as they have done to many others, including another in the [Solar System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System "Solar System").[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-18) Planned as an ongoing series,[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-cbr1944-17) it was cancelled after six issues.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-19) [Neil Gaiman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Gaiman "Neil Gaiman"),[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-20)[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-21) with artist [John Romita, Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Romita,_Jr. "John Romita, Jr."),[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-22) created a 2006 miniseries, which helped bring the Eternals' role in the modern Marvel Universe up-to-date.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-23) Solicited as a six-issue series, an extra issue was added to the run, because, according to editor [Nick Lowe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Lowe_\(comics\) "Nick Lowe (comics)"), "There was too much story to fit into the structure we set for ourselves. Neil was starting issue five and told me that he might need a seventh issue. He just had too much story to fit in six issues (even with the first and sixth double-sized)."[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-24) A fourth Eternals series ran as an [ongoing series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ongoing_series "Ongoing series") for nine issues and one annual from August 2008 – March 2009. The Eternals returned in [Jason Aaron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Aaron "Jason Aaron")'s [Avengers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers_\(comics\) "Avengers (comics)"), a story arc involving the Dark [Celestials](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_\(comics\) "Celestial (comics)"), which saw the Eternals all killed in the fourth issue. However, the characters were resurrected in their new ongoing series launched in January 2021 by writer [Kieron Gillen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kieron_Gillen "Kieron Gillen") and artist [Esad Ribić](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esad_Ribi%C4%87 "Esad Ribić").[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-io9-9)[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-25) ## Fictional history \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Fictional history")\] When the [Celestials](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_\(comics\) "Celestial (comics)") visited Earth 1,000,000 years ago and performed genetic experiments on early [proto-humans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaic_humans "Archaic humans"), they created two divergent races: the long-lived Eternals, and the genetically unstable and monstrously grotesque [Deviants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviant_\(comics\) "Deviant (comics)"). These experiments also led to the capacity for super-powered [mutations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Mutant (Marvel Comics)") in humans. They also performed this experiment on other planets (such as the [Kree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kree "Kree") and [Skrull](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrull "Skrull") homeworlds) with similar results. Despite looking human, Eternals are [much longer-lived](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longevity "Longevity") (but were not originally fully [immortal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immortality "Immortality")), and that kept them from having much contact with their human cousins. Eternals have a low birth rate; they can interbreed with humans but the result is always a normal human (although [Thena](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thena "Thena")'s son, Joey Athena seems to have become an Eternal with long-lived properties and powers).[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-26) Despite this, the Eternals have in general protected the human race, especially from the Deviants, with whom they have always had an enmity. The Eternals also developed advanced technology.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] Long ago, a civil war broke out amongst the Eternals over whether to conquer the other races, with one faction led by Kronos and the other by his warlike brother, Uranos. Kronos's side prevailed, and Uranos and his defeated faction left Earth and journeyed to Uranus where they built a colony. Some of Uranos's group soon tried to return to Earth to re-kindle the war, but they were attacked by a passing Kree ship and forced to land on Saturn's moon [Titan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_\(Marvel_Comics_location\) "Titan (Marvel Comics location)"). There they built another colony (experiments performed by Kree scientists on a captured Eternal led them to go to [Earth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth "Earth") and perform their genetic experiments on a group of humans, thus creating the [Inhumans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhumans "Inhumans")).\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] One day, Kronos's experiments in cosmic energy caused a catastrophic release of energy throughout the Eternals' city, Titanos, destroying it, activating latent genes in the Eternals, and disintegrating the scientist's body. The Eternals now found they could channel large quantities of cosmic energy themselves, granting them near-godlike power. The accident left Kronos in an [immaterial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immaterialism "Immaterialism") state, so a new leader had to be chosen. For the first time, the Eternals merged into a single being, the Uni-Mind, to decide which of Kronos's sons, [Zuras](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuras "Zuras") or [A'lars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%27lars "A'lars") should be the new leader. Zuras was chosen to be the Prime Eternal, and A'lars chose to leave Earth to avoid causing another civil war and journeyed to Titan.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] There he found that a war (allegedly caused by the [Dragon of the Moon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_of_the_Moon "Dragon of the Moon")) had erupted on Titan and wiped out all but one member, a woman named [Sui-San](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sui-San "Sui-San"). A'lars fell in love with her, and in time they repopulated Titan. Due to the mix of activated genes from A'lars and unactivated ones from Sui-San, these new Titanian Eternals are not as powerful or immortal as Terran Eternals, but are more powerful and longer-lived than the earlier pre-civil war Titanian Eternals.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] While Zuras ruled, three new Eternal cities were built. The first was Olympia, located in the mountains of Greece, near the main portal between the Earth dimension and the [Olympians'](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympians_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Olympians (Marvel Comics)") home dimension, which led many ancient Greeks to confuse some of the godlike Eternals with members of the Olympian pantheon. Eventually, an agreement was reached with the gods where some Eternals, such as Thena, would impersonate the Olympians before their worshipers. The other two Eternal cities were Polaria (located in Siberia) and Oceana (in the Pacific).\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] 18,000 years ago, the Celestials returned to Earth. The Deviants attacked them, but the Celestials counterattacked, resulting in the sinking of [Mu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_\(lost_continent\) "Mu (lost continent)") and [Atlantis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantis_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Atlantis (Marvel Comics)"), and much worldwide havoc. The Eternals helped rescue many humans. An Eternal named [Valkin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valkin "Valkin") was entrusted by the Celestials with an artifact of great power for safekeeping.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] At some point during the early centuries, [Ikaris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikaris "Ikaris") and the Eternals came into conflict with the immortal mutant, [Apocalypse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_\(character\) "Apocalypse (character)"). This conflict ended when Ikaris and the Eternals defeated him. Ikaris believed Apocalypse was dead.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] 1,000 years ago, the [Asgardian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asgardians_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Asgardians (Marvel Comics)") god [Thor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Thor (Marvel Comics)") encountered some Eternals, but the encounter was erased from his mind, to prevent him from learning about the Celestials, who were about to return to Earth. An Eternal named [Ajak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajak "Ajak") became the Celestials' spokesperson, and put himself to sleep when the Celestials left, to wait for their return 1,000 years later to judge humanity.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] During the early 20th century, a human scientist made contact with the Uranian Eternals and was taken to live with them along with his young son, who would later become [Marvel Boy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Boy_\(Robert_Grayson\) "Marvel Boy (Robert Grayson)").[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-27) The Uranians were eventually killed by [Deathurge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathurge "Deathurge").[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-28) After World War II, some Eternals allied with humans and Deviants to form the Damocles Foundation, which tried to create a new breed of superhuman to rule Earth.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-29) Some Eternals, such as [Makkari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makkari_\(character\) "Makkari (character)"), were also active as [superheroes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheroes "Superheroes"), or living amongst humans, keeping their true nature hidden. The Eternals also helped to move the Inhumans' city to the Himalayas to keep it hidden.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] At some point, [Thanos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanos "Thanos") of the Eternals of Titan nearly destroyed their colony, but they rebuilt it, and would help Earth's heroes to oppose him on several occasions.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] ### Modern Age \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Modern Age")\] In recent times, Ikaris met the archaeologist Daniel Damian and his daughter Margo, and accompanied them into an old Eternal city in the Andes, where he awakened Ajak. Ajak began the process to receive the Celestials. These movements alerted the Deviants, who decided to attack New York and to provoke fear in the humans against the coming celestials.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-30) When the Celestials returned to judge the worthiness of their creations a few years ago, the Eternals found themselves clashing with the Deviants again, and decided to publicly reveal their existence to humanity.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-31) Zuras feared what would happen if the Celestials judged unfavorably. They encountered Thor again, and were attacked by Thor's father [Odin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odin_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Odin (Marvel Comics)") and the Olympian gods, who tried to prevent their interfering with the gods' plans to attack the Celestials. Eventually, the Eternals decided to help the gods and formed a Uni-Mind to assist the [Destroyer's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroyer_\(Thor\) "Destroyer (Thor)") assault on the Celestials.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-32) They were forced to dissolve back into Eternals by the Celestials, and the shock of the attack killed Zuras. Before his spirit fully left the material plane, he instructed his daughter Thena to take his people to explore space. Since then, the Eternals have helped Earth's heroes, particularly the [Avengers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers_\(comics\) "Avengers (comics)"), against several menaces. They also discovered the existence of the Titanian Eternals.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-33) Some time later, the Deviant's aristocracy, led by Brother Tode, attacked Olympia, kidnapping the Eternals and intending to disintegrate them. The hero [Iron Man (James Rhodes)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Machine "War Machine") rescued the Eternals and helped them defeat the deviants. Then the Eternals transformed the deviant's aristocracy into a synthetic cube, killing them.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-34) The Eternals formed a Uni-Mind to discuss their future on earth, after which most of the Eternals (led by Valkin), went to the stars. But a handful – those most heavily involved in Earthly affairs – remained behind on Earth.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-35) Thena came to lead the remaining Eternals but she wasn't very respected by her subjects.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-36) With the ascension of Priestlord Ghaur as leader of the Deviants, the Eternals joined the Avengers in defeating him after he absorbed the power of a Celestial and tried to gain godhood. Meanwhile, Ikaris questioned Thena for her poor choices as leader of the Eternals. She was subtly being controlled by a brain mine put in her by [Kro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kro_\(character\) "Kro (character)"). After a special ceremony, Ikaris succeeded her as leader of the Earth's Eternals. The lover of Ikaris, Margo Damian, was captured by Ghaur's minions and was killed as a result of a Deviant experiment on her.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-37) After the death of his daughter, Daniel Damian decided to take revenge against the Deviants and the Eternals. With the help of ancient Eternal machines, he forged a prophecy to incite war between the two races and transformed Ajak in a murderous monster. When his plan was discovered by the Eternals, Ajak reverted to his original form and regretted the killings that he had committed, so he killed Damian and himself.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-38) The Eternals Gilgamesh [\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-39) and Sersi briefly became part of the Superhero team Avengers.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-40) When Sersi became sick with the Mahd Wy'ry disease, a uncurable degenerating Eternal disease, Ikaris and other Eternals tried to bring her to Olympia and perform a rite of Cleansing. Sersi rejected the idea, on the basis that the ritual was designed to kill the infected Eternal, and solicited his family to perform the Gann Josin bond between her and her lover the [Black Knight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Knight_\(Dane_Whitman\) "Black Knight (Dane Whitman)"). Ikaris was furious and performed the bond without consent of the Knight.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-41) Later Thena and other Eternals helped the Avengers in the battle against the Gatherers and Proctor, who was an alternate Black Knight and who infected Sersi with the Mahd Wy'ry disease for spite.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-42) The Eternals fought once more against Ghaur and the Deviants, with the help of the [Heroes for Hire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes_for_Hire "Heroes for Hire"). The mad priest tried to form an Anti-Mind with some captured eternals, to defeat any invasion of the Celestials.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-43) Later they were at odds with Apocalypse and briefly posed as a superhero team called the New Breed.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-44) [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b9/New_Eternals_1.png/250px-New_Eternals_1.png)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:New_Eternals_1.png) Cover of New Eternals: Apocalypse Now \#1 (February 2000) by [Joe Bennett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Bennett_\(artist\) "Joe Bennett (artist)") ### Memory loss and the Dreaming Celestial \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Memory loss and the Dreaming Celestial")\] The Eternals began reappearing on Earth in [Neil Gaiman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Gaiman "Neil Gaiman")'s new take on the immortal beings. Most seemed to have no memory of their own history and abilities, except Ikaris, and few records of their previous appearances remain. The Eternal known as [Sprite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_\(Eternal\) "Sprite (Eternal)"), angered at having to remain an eleven-year-old and unable to grow any further, managed to change reality, inducing collective amnesia in the Eternals as well as distorting their perceptions of history. He used a Uni-Mind with the [Dreaming Celestial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiamut "Tiamut") and other unwilling eternals to achieve his desire, transforming himself in a mortal 11 years old kid.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-45) This can possibly be seen as Gaiman's attempt to [retcon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroactive_continuity "Retroactive continuity") some details of the characters; early stories as well as [officially published statistics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OHOTMU "OHOTMU") portrayed most of the current generation of Eternals – such as Ikaris and Thena – as being "only" several tens of thousands of years old but Gaiman's run describes them as being closer to a million years old.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] [Makkari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makkari_\(character\) "Makkari (character)") was working as a medicine intern, Sersi was planning to kickstart her party planner business. Meanwhile, Thena was working as a weapons scientist in [Stark Industries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stark_Industries "Stark Industries"). She was also married and had a young son. Druig was apparently alive again and he was the Deputy minister of Vorozheika (a fictional post-soviet country). Ikaris contacted Makkari, but he did not believe the eternal's words about the past and rejected him.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-46) Then, Makkari met Sersi again, become attracted to her and accompanied her to a party that she was organizing for Druig of Vorozheika. Thena assisted too. In the party, the amnesic Eternals are attacked by mercenaries of another faction of Vorozheika government. The reunion of the four Eternals triggered a recovery of their powers. Ikaris was captured by two deviants and they were experimenting in ways of destroy his body, until that they seemingly killed him with a particle accelerator.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-47) However, Ikaris was resurrected by a special machine in the Antarctic base of the Eternals. With their returned powers, Druig took control of Vorozheika. Thena frees herself from the mercenaries that captured her and Makkari went to talk to Sprite, who now was a young celebrity. Sprite trapped the amnesic Eternal and told him his plans and the reasons why he did the reality changes.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-48) [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/6f/The_Eternals_2.jpg/250px-The_Eternals_2.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Eternals_2.jpg) Variant cover of The Eternals (vol. 5) \#2 (February 2021) by [Jamie McKelvie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_McKelvie "Jamie McKelvie") It was uncovered that Ajak had been revived too and that it had been he who contracted the two Deviants. He succeeded in awakening an amnesic Zuras. The two Deviants managed to kidnap Sprite, and the trapped Makkari, using him to awaken the Dreaming Celestial, who was under Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Upon awakening, the Celestial decided to judge humanity. The Eternals, now remembering their past, arrived in San Francisco, and realizing that they cannot stop the Celestial, decided to leave him be. Makkari was transformed by the Celestial into his spokesman. The Deviants called him Skadrach, and respected him, because the Dreaming Celestial was adored as their god. Sprite was killed by Zuras because of his actions and the rest of the Eternals then embarked on a quest to find and recruit the other members who had similarly forgotten their true selves due to Sprite's trickery.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-49) The Dreaming Celestial told Makkari the reasons for the creation of the Eternals and Deviants, and helped him to find more Eternals. Ajak, jealous of Makkari's new function, manipulated Gilgamesh into killing Makkari. With help of Sersi, Makkari was reborn and the Dreaming Celestial stopped a planned autodestruction.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-50) Then the Eternals stopped the invasion of the Horde.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-51) With their numbers completed, and with the new information given by the Dreaming Celestial, the Eternals debated what to do with mankind and the Deviants—leave them alone, protect them or rule them.[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-52) They formed another Unimind to decide what to do and decided to hold themselves apart from the mortal world.[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-53) ### The Final Host \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: The Final Host")\] When Celestials literally began "raining" down on Earth, the Avengers are forced to reunite again and just in time to see the arrival of the Final Host which is composed of Dark Celestials that are each physically unique and were the ones who easily took down their brethren.[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-54) In an attempt to learn more about these new breed of Celestials, [Iron Man](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Man "Iron Man") and [Doctor Strange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Strange "Doctor Strange") travelled to the Mountains of Greece to try to get some answers from The Eternals. When Stark and Strange arrived, there were no signs of life to be found as almost all of the Eternals were dead, with Strange deducing that the wounds were self-inflicted. Only Ikaris was left barely alive and reveals that the Eternals were never meant to protect Humanity as they thought. Instead, because the Celestials saw the human population as a useful pathogen to act as antibodies against the Horde, the Eternals were created to defend the process under the false impression that they were actually protecting the human race. This discovery drove all Eternals mad which either made them turn against each other or commit suicide. Ikaris is also able to reveal that the only way to prevent the Final Host from unleashing the Horde is the Uni-Mind and sends a message into Stark's mind before dying.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-55) ### Resurrection and their confrontation with Thanos \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Resurrection and their confrontation with Thanos")\] \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| [![\[icon\]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/20px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg) \| This section needs expansion.

(July 2022) \| After the events of The Final Host, The Eternals are then revived by the Machine with no memories of their recent events. As Ikaris retrieved Sprite, Zuras was mysteriously murdered, forcing Ikaris and Sprite to retrieve others after encountering the Mad Titan Thanos. Phastos was the first Eternal reborn and learned the shocking truth about the Machine. Every time an Eternal was resurrected from their death, one human life was taken in return, resulting in a devastating outcome. Shocked by this revelation, Phastos vowed to end it by ending the Eternals. So, he rescued Thanos from a black hole and blackmailed the Mad Titan into helping him with his scheme. However, Phastos' plans have backfired when Thanos killed Phastos to hide the truth and worked with Druig to depose Zuras. The Eternals learned the truth after Ikaris sacrificed himself to repair the machine.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] When the issue was argued with the Prime Eternal Zuras after his resurrection, it was determined that most Eternals would never agree to change it, as Eternals didn't care about the lives of individual humans. So, several Eternals met with the Deviants of Lemuria, asking them how to become like them. They also learned that Deviants have unstable mutations that the Eternals are programmed by the principles to kill them. Thanos is then elected as the new Prime and succeeded by Unity Mind and disposed of his uncle Zuras as a result. The group infiltrates the Avengers' base to confront Progenitor and learned why the Celestials created the Eternals. While the Eternals stall the Avengers, Ajak gains access to the Progenitor's consciousness and uncovers the truth of their origin. She learned that when the Progenitor died from sickness, the necrofluid began to contaminate life on Earth, which resulted in excess deviation and mutation. The Celstials began designing the Deviants to stabilize the necrofluid, while the Eternals served as antibodies to eliminate the Deviants if the mutations were unstable. After gaining knowledge, the Eternals confronted Thanos, and Druig secretly created a failsafe on Thanos' armory if the latter orchestrated his betrayal. After Thanos' defeat, Druig took over as Prime and began to suspect the mutants' settlement on Krakoa as Deviants, wishing to eliminate them.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] ### A.X.E.: Judgment Day \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: A.X.E.: Judgment Day")\] \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| [![\[icon\]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg/20px-Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg.png)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg) \| This section needs expansion.

(July 2022) \| ## Powers and abilities \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: Powers and abilities")\] Due to the cosmic energy that suffuses an Eternal's body and the unbreakable mental hold they have over their physiological processes, the Eternals of Earth are effectively immortal.[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-56) They live for millennia, do not fatigue from physical exertion, are immune to [disease](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disease "Disease") and [poison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison "Poison"), and are unaffected by environmental extremes of cold and heat. Most cannot be injured by conventional weaponry, and even if they somehow are, an Eternal can rapidly regenerate any damage as long as they are able to retain their mental hold over their bodies; this mental bond can be broken. In the 2006 series it was also stated that Eternals are able to absorb oxygen directly from water, and therefore cannot drown. In the same series, Ikaris was plunged into molten metal and experienced great pain, but no physical injury, which the Deviants attributed to a forcefield which protects Ikaris even when unconscious. It is unclear if all Eternals share this degree of protection.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] At one time, the official limit to the Eternals' durability was such that they could only be permanently destroyed by dispersing their bodies' molecules over a wide area.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-57) This degree of extreme durability was revealed to have increased to a much greater degree; as demonstrated in the 2006 Eternals limited series,[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2006_2-58) it is shown that even total molecular dispersal is insufficient to destroy an Eternal. As long as "The Machine" (a restoration device of Celestial origin; possibly the Earth itself)[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2006_6-59) keeps running, any destroyed Eternal will eventually return, as was the case with Ikaris after he was completely vaporized by a [particle accelerator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_accelerator "Particle accelerator") as part of a series of "experiments" performed upon him by the Deviants.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] This same cosmic energy can be channeled for a number of superhuman abilities, including superhuman physical abilities, immortality, flight, energy projection, mind control, teleportation, illusion creation, and elemental transmutation. In addition, groups of Eternals, as few as three at a time,[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2006_6-59) can transform into the [Uni-Mind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_psychology "Gestalt psychology"), a combination of minds that is greater than its constituent parts.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] Some Eternals choose to focus on a particular power to increase their effectiveness with it. [Sersi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sersi "Sersi"), for example, has developed the power of transmutation further than any other Eternal. Additionally, some Eternals choose to focus their cosmic energies into other, non-standard abilities. [Ikaris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikaris "Ikaris"), for example, channels cosmic energy to greatly enhance his senses, while [the Interloper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interloper_\(comics\) "Interloper (comics)") uses his to generate fear in others, and [Makkari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makkari_\(character\) "Makkari (character)") uses his cosmic energies for superspeed.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] ### Limitations \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=9 "Edit section: Limitations")\] The 2006 [retcon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retcon "Retcon") of the Eternals' origins and abilities introduces a significant limitation to their powers, and possibly to their free will, with numerous references to Eternals being "programmed" or "hardwired." They cannot attack their Celestial "masters" for any reason, whether they make a conscious decision to do so or are tricked into accidentally striking the beings.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2006_4-60)[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-61) Any such attempt shuts down the body of the attacking Eternal and is implied to be an automatic defense mechanism of the Celestials' armor.[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-62) On one occasion, when the Eternals attempted to form a Uni-Mind with the intent of keeping the [Dreaming Celestial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiamut "Tiamut") asleep, they were shut down and reverted to their original forms. Furthermore, Eternals are compelled to attack and neutralize any being that attacks a Celestial.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-63) As presented in Gaiman's Volume 3, the Eternals are aware of their role on Earth and the duties and constraints placed on them by the Celestials. Ikaris describes himself as the Earth's repair and maintenance unit.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2006_4-60) Zuras phrased the same concept more philosophically: "We are the Eternals. We are the court of last resort for humanity and for all living things on Earth. \[...\] We do not choose sides. Countries are lines in the sand, empires rise and fall. We are timeless. We will still be here tomorrow, and a hundred centuries from now."[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2006_6-59) ## Members \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=10 "Edit section: Members")\] ### Generations \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=11 "Edit section: Generations")\] The Eternals are split between five different generationals groups:[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-64) - First Generation Eternal (those born before the fall of Titanos): Arlok, Astron, Daina, Kronos/Chronos/Chronus, Master Elo, Oceanus, Shastra, Thyrio, Uranos. - Second Generation Eternal (those alive at the time of Chronus's experiment): [Mentor (A'lars)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentor_\(A%27lars\) "Mentor (A'lars)"), Amaa, Cybele, [Forgotten One](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgotten_One_\(character\) "Forgotten One (character)")/Gilgamesh, Helios, Perse, Rakar, Tulayn, Valkin, Virako, Zuras. - Third Generation Eternal (those born after Chronos's experiment but before the Second Host): Aginar, [Ajak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajak "Ajak"), Arex, Atlo, Domo, [Ikaris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikaris "Ikaris"), Interloper, Mara, [Phastos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phastos "Phastos"), Sigmar, [Thanos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanos "Thanos"), [Thena](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thena "Thena"), Veron, Zarin, Eros - Fourth Generation Eternal (those born after the coming of the Second Host, 20,000 years ago): Argos, Ceyote, Chi Demon, the Delphan brothers, [Druig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druig "Druig"), Khoryphos, [Makkari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makkari_\(character\) "Makkari (character)"), Psykos, [Sersi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sersi "Sersi"), [Kingo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingo_Sunen "Kingo Sunen") Sunen, El Vampiro. - Fifth Generation Eternal (those born after the coming of the Third Host, 3,000 years ago): Aurelle, [Sprite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_\(Eternal\) "Sprite (Eternal)"), Titanis. ## Antecedents \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=12 "Edit section: Antecedents")\] - [Arthur C. Clarke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_C._Clarke "Arthur C. Clarke")'s book [Childhood's End](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood%27s_End "Childhood's End") from 1953 provided inspiration, including the idea of "Overlords" who control Earth's fate and will reveal themselves further after a 50-year waiting period, the idea of demons being humanity's memory of another species, and the "Overmind" concept which seems to influence the comic's "Uni-Mind". - Mercury and Hurricane, two characters depicted by Jack Kirby through [Timely Comics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timely_Comics "Timely Comics"), the 1940s predecessor of Marvel, were [retconned](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroactive_continuity "Retroactive continuity") as being guises of the Eternal Makkari.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-65) ## Reception \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=13 "Edit section: Reception")\] Jeremy Brown of [Game Rant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Rant "Game Rant") ranked the Eternals 6th in their "Marvel: Best Superhero Teams" list.[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-66) Marc Buxton of [Den of Geek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den_of_Geek "Den of Geek") ranked the Eternals 7th in their "Guardians of the Galaxy 3: 50 Marvel Characters We Want to See" list.[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-67) ## Literary reception \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=14 "Edit section: Literary reception")\] ### Volumes \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=15 "Edit section: Volumes")\] The Eternals comic book series won Best Lettering and was nominated for Best Archival Collection/Project—Comic Books at the 2007 [Eisner Awards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisner_Awards "Eisner Awards").[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-68)[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-69)[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-70) #### Eternals (1976) \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=16 "Edit section: Eternals (1976)")\] Marc Buxton of [Den of Geek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den_of_Geek "Den of Geek") stated, "Jack Kirby delivered the original electrifying Eternals saga. Other than a Hulk robot (because reasons), there was no mention of the Marvel Universe anywhere in this series. But this was Kirby at his 1970s finest, getting all metaphysical and theological as he combined his imaginative saga with real world legend. Sersi does also turn a man's face into Ben Grimm's The Thing face in her introduction."[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-:1-71) #### Eternals (2006) \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=17 "Edit section: Eternals (2006)")\] According to [Diamond Comic Distributors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Comic_Distributors "Diamond Comic Distributors"), Eternals \#1 was the 17th best selling comic book in June 2006.[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-72)[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-73)[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-74) Eternals \#2 was the 28th best selling comic book in July 2006.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-75)[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-76)[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-77) Eternals \#3 was the 28th best selling comic book in August 2006.[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-78)[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-79)[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-80) Jared Gaudreau of [Comic Book Resources](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_Book_Resources "Comic Book Resources") asserted, "The seven-issue mini-series covered previous themes like creation and did an excellent job expanding Eternals lore and adding numerous new side characters. One of those great additions came in the form of a love interest for Thena named Thomas Eliot."[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-81) Marc Buxton of [Den of Geek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den_of_Geek "Den of Geek") wrote, "This is a must read for any fan of American Gods as Gaiman and Romita examine recurring themes of mythology made real and they channel it all through a magnificent Kirby lens. Do not be surprised if the coming film borrows liberally from this fantastic series."[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-:1-71) Colin Cheney of [Fatherly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatherly "Fatherly") said, "The series is a good, grounded way to enter the Eternals-verse: Romita's art is appropriately bombastic, and we get some good bang-pow comics action—but it's also pretty talky (because it's Neil Gaiman). But also because it's Neil Gaiman we get a nice right hook to the jaw of the problematic inspiration behind Kirby's original comic."[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-:0-82) #### Eternals (2008) \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=18 "Edit section: Eternals (2008)")\] According to [Diamond Comic Distributors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Comic_Distributors "Diamond Comic Distributors"), Eternals \#1 was the 52nd best selling comic book in June 2008.[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-83)[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-84)[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-85) K. Thor Jensen of [PCMag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCMag "PCMag") called the Eternals comic book series the "last high-profile attempt to reboot the concept," stating, "This was the bridge that brought the group into the modern era, and it's a very solid read."[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-86) Eric Diaz of [Nerdist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerdist "Nerdist") included the comic book series in their "Essential Eternals Comics" list, writing, "Daniel Acuna provided memorable pencil art. In this short-lived comic, the Eternals are more intimately tied to the X-Men, with stories that crossed over with the mutant's time in San Francisco. When the Dreaming Celestial awakens and towers over the mutant home city, it forces the Eternals to take action. Not one of the most well-known runs, and it only lasted eight issues and one Annual. But it is worth a read for sure."[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-87) #### Eternals (2021) \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=19 "Edit section: Eternals (2021)")\] According to data combined from all [direct market](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_market "Direct market") distributors, Eternals \#1 was the 4th best selling comic book in January 2021.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-88)[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-89) Matthew Sibley of [Newsarama](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsarama "Newsarama") asserted, "Eternals \#1 is not just a fresh start for the creative team and for potential readers, but also for the Eternals themselves to define who they are."[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-90) Barry Thompson of [Polygon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_\(website\) "Polygon (website)") said, "In terms of execution, Eternals \#1 is extremely good. Gillen introduces and entices the uninitiated without bogging itself down with exposition or patronizing anybody who brings some prior knowledge to the table. As far as fulfilling its primary functions, Eternals \#1 checks all the necessary boxes."[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-91) Colin Cheney of [Fatherly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatherly "Fatherly") asserted, "Esad Ribic's artwork — and the colors by Matthew Wilson — is quite beautiful and cinematic. The storytelling is sharp and clear: Gillen has a witty, wry way of letting his characters reveal themselves and the wider world. We get a good sense of the characters' personalities (particularly Ikaris and Sprite) quite quickly… And hell: you get a little bit of Iron Man."[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-:0-82) Adam Barnhardt of [ComicBook.com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ComicBook.com "ComicBook.com") gave Eternals \#1 a grade of 4 out of 5, saying, "Readers looking for a strong character-driven story serving study on the likes of Ikaris, Sprite, and the remaining Eternals will find Gillen and Ribić's Eternals \#1 to be a delightful read. Readers looking for something akin to a blockbuster event may need to keep looking, save for an epic, applause-inducing cliffhanger. It's an intriguing new start for readers new and old, alike and, at the very least, it's evident this creative team is setting out to establish a definitive take for one of Marvel's biggest unproven ideas."[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-92) ## In other media \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=20 "Edit section: In other media")\] -

They were created by [Jack Kirby](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kirby "Jack Kirby"), making their first appearance in The Eternals \#1 (July 1976).[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-1) In the [Marvel Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Universe "Marvel Universe"), the Eternals are an offshoot of humanity known as *Homo immortalis* which were created one million years ago by the enigmatic [alien](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial_life "Extraterrestrial life") [Celestials](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_\(comics\) "Celestial (comics)") to defend Earth with their superhuman powers and abilities. Their primary adversaries are the [Deviants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviant_\(comics\) "Deviant (comics)"), who share a similar origin and pose a regular threat to humanity. Due to their virtual immortality, Eternals have largely secluded themselves from humans, with their god-like status forming the basis of various mythological figures around the world. Since their appearance, the Eternals have had several of their own series, in addition to crossing into other titles, such as Thor and X-Men.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2)[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-3) They made their live action film debut in the [Marvel Cinematic Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe "Marvel Cinematic Universe") with their own feature film [Eternals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\) "Eternals (film)"), directed by [Chloé Zhao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlo%C3%A9_Zhao "Chloé Zhao"), which was released November 5, 2021.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-Phase4DelayAgain-4) ## Publication history \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Publication history")\] In 1970, Jack Kirby left Marvel Comics to work at [DC Comics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Comics "DC Comics"), where he began the saga of the [New Gods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Gods "New Gods"), an epic story involving mythological and science fiction concepts. Though he had planned for a definitive ending, the series was abruptly cancelled. Upon his return to Marvel, Kirby continued exploring his interest in mythological science fiction through The Eternals.[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-5) Originally titled "The Celestials", Marvel changed the title to "Return of the Gods", whose comic book cover bore stylistics similarities to [Erich von Daniken](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_von_Daniken "Erich von Daniken")'s book [Chariots of the Gods?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chariots_of_the_Gods%3F "Chariots of the Gods?"). To avoid potential legal issues, the name was again changed to “Eternals".[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-6) The Eternals' saga was thematically similar to the New Gods' and it shared the same fate: Kirby's new series also was eventually canceled without resolving many of its plots.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-IGNEternals-7)[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-denofgeek-8)[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-io9-9) Writers [Roy Thomas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Thomas "Roy Thomas") and [Mark Gruenwald](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Gruenwald "Mark Gruenwald") used the Eternals in a [Thor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Thor (Marvel Comics)") storyline that concluded in Thor \#301,[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-10) resolving those lingering plotlines. Subsequent to the Thor storyline, the Eternals (and the mythology connected to them) have appeared or been mentioned in numerous Marvel comics.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-io9-9)[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-IGNEternals-7) In particular, the Celestials' experiment on humanity has been used to explain how certain humans can develop super-powers. The [Titanians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_\(Marvel_Comics_location\) "Titan (Marvel Comics location)") (created by [Jim Starlin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Starlin "Jim Starlin")) and [Uranians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranian_\(comics\) "Uranian (comics)") (created by [Stan Lee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Lee "Stan Lee"))[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-11) were later [retconned](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroactive_continuity "Retroactive continuity") as being Eternals as well.[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-12)[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-io9-9) The Eternals returned for a 12-issue [miniseries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniseries "Miniseries") in 1985 under writer [Peter B. Gillis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_B._Gillis "Peter B. Gillis") and penciler [Sal Buscema](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sal_Buscema "Sal Buscema").[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-IGNEternals-7)[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-gcd-vol2-13)[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-toonopedia-14) According to comic-book historian [Peter Sanderson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sanderson "Peter Sanderson"), "editor in chief [Jim Shooter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Shooter "Jim Shooter") disliked Gillis's scripts, so [Walter Simonson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Simonson "Walter Simonson") wrote the final four issues."[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-cic194-15) In 2000, a one-shot comic called New Eternals: Apocalypse Now \#1 featured an older conflict between the Eternals and X-Men villain Apocalypse. In 2003, writer [Chuck Austen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Austen "Chuck Austen") and artist [Kev Walker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kev_Walker "Kev Walker") rebooted the franchise for Marvel's mature readers-focused MAX imprint, resulting in The Eternal.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-IGNEternals-7)[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-16) The Eternal series from Marvel's [MAX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAX_\(comics\) "MAX (comics)") imprint written by [Chuck Austen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Austen "Chuck Austen") was based on an idea he had been working on for a while: "I pitched this back when I first started working at Marvel, but Joe Quesada was against doing it. He saw no future in this particular old Kirby concept." Austen described the plot as involving "Ikaeden, the leader of the Eternals, who arrives on Earth at the dawn of man, and evolves humankind from [Homo erectus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_erectus "Homo erectus") so he can use them as slaves to mine raw materials for the Celestials, his bosses, basically," as well as "Kurassus, who is the second-in-command of the mining mission, and who is determined to undermine Ikaeden and kill Ikaeden's precious slave-girl and son."[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-cbr1944-17) In an interview with [Newsarama](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsarama "Newsarama") he gave an outline of his planned plot: > In this version, we take some of the concepts from \[the original series\] and build around them, throwing away some stuff and keeping others. We're actually going back in time to see Ikaris birth and development on Earth, meet his parents, and then move forward into contemporary time. When we get to contemporary time, the Celestials return to judge Earth, but there's no fifty-year 'study and evaluation period.' We've already been judged and found wanting, too violent to be allowed to flourish and spread, and Ikaris and the others have to stop the Celestials, who consider us their property, from destroying the entire planet as they have done to many others, including another in the [Solar System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System "Solar System").[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-18) Planned as an ongoing series,[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-cbr1944-17) it was cancelled after six issues.[\[19\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-19) [Neil Gaiman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Gaiman "Neil Gaiman"),[\[20\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-20)[\[21\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-21) with artist [John Romita, Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Romita,_Jr. "John Romita, Jr."),[\[22\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-22) created a 2006 miniseries, which helped bring the Eternals' role in the modern Marvel Universe up-to-date.[\[23\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-23) Solicited as a six-issue series, an extra issue was added to the run, because, according to editor [Nick Lowe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Lowe_\(comics\) "Nick Lowe (comics)"), "There was too much story to fit into the structure we set for ourselves. Neil was starting issue five and told me that he might need a seventh issue. He just had too much story to fit in six issues (even with the first and sixth double-sized)."[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-24) A fourth Eternals series ran as an [ongoing series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ongoing_series "Ongoing series") for nine issues and one annual from August 2008 – March 2009. The Eternals returned in [Jason Aaron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Aaron "Jason Aaron")'s [Avengers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers_\(comics\) "Avengers (comics)"), a story arc involving the Dark [Celestials](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_\(comics\) "Celestial (comics)"), which saw the Eternals all killed in the fourth issue. However, the characters were resurrected in their new ongoing series launched in January 2021 by writer [Kieron Gillen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kieron_Gillen "Kieron Gillen") and artist [Esad Ribić](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esad_Ribi%C4%87 "Esad Ribić").[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-io9-9)[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-25) When the [Celestials](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_\(comics\) "Celestial (comics)") visited Earth 1,000,000 years ago and performed genetic experiments on early [proto-humans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaic_humans "Archaic humans"), they created two divergent races: the long-lived Eternals, and the genetically unstable and monstrously grotesque [Deviants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviant_\(comics\) "Deviant (comics)"). These experiments also led to the capacity for super-powered [mutations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutant_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Mutant (Marvel Comics)") in humans. They also performed this experiment on other planets (such as the [Kree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kree "Kree") and [Skrull](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrull "Skrull") homeworlds) with similar results. Despite looking human, Eternals are [much longer-lived](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longevity "Longevity") (but were not originally fully [immortal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immortality "Immortality")), and that kept them from having much contact with their human cousins. Eternals have a low birth rate; they can interbreed with humans but the result is always a normal human (although [Thena](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thena "Thena")'s son, Joey Athena seems to have become an Eternal with long-lived properties and powers).[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-26) Despite this, the Eternals have in general protected the human race, especially from the Deviants, with whom they have always had an enmity. The Eternals also developed advanced technology.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] Long ago, a civil war broke out amongst the Eternals over whether to conquer the other races, with one faction led by Kronos and the other by his warlike brother, Uranos. Kronos's side prevailed, and Uranos and his defeated faction left Earth and journeyed to Uranus where they built a colony. Some of Uranos's group soon tried to return to Earth to re-kindle the war, but they were attacked by a passing Kree ship and forced to land on Saturn's moon [Titan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_\(Marvel_Comics_location\) "Titan (Marvel Comics location)"). There they built another colony (experiments performed by Kree scientists on a captured Eternal led them to go to [Earth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth "Earth") and perform their genetic experiments on a group of humans, thus creating the [Inhumans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhumans "Inhumans")).\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] One day, Kronos's experiments in cosmic energy caused a catastrophic release of energy throughout the Eternals' city, Titanos, destroying it, activating latent genes in the Eternals, and disintegrating the scientist's body. The Eternals now found they could channel large quantities of cosmic energy themselves, granting them near-godlike power. The accident left Kronos in an [immaterial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immaterialism "Immaterialism") state, so a new leader had to be chosen. For the first time, the Eternals merged into a single being, the Uni-Mind, to decide which of Kronos's sons, [Zuras](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuras "Zuras") or [A'lars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%27lars "A'lars") should be the new leader. Zuras was chosen to be the Prime Eternal, and A'lars chose to leave Earth to avoid causing another civil war and journeyed to Titan.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] There he found that a war (allegedly caused by the [Dragon of the Moon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_of_the_Moon "Dragon of the Moon")) had erupted on Titan and wiped out all but one member, a woman named [Sui-San](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sui-San "Sui-San"). A'lars fell in love with her, and in time they repopulated Titan. Due to the mix of activated genes from A'lars and unactivated ones from Sui-San, these new Titanian Eternals are not as powerful or immortal as Terran Eternals, but are more powerful and longer-lived than the earlier pre-civil war Titanian Eternals.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] While Zuras ruled, three new Eternal cities were built. The first was Olympia, located in the mountains of Greece, near the main portal between the Earth dimension and the [Olympians'](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympians_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Olympians (Marvel Comics)") home dimension, which led many ancient Greeks to confuse some of the godlike Eternals with members of the Olympian pantheon. Eventually, an agreement was reached with the gods where some Eternals, such as Thena, would impersonate the Olympians before their worshipers. The other two Eternal cities were Polaria (located in Siberia) and Oceana (in the Pacific).\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] 18,000 years ago, the Celestials returned to Earth. The Deviants attacked them, but the Celestials counterattacked, resulting in the sinking of [Mu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_\(lost_continent\) "Mu (lost continent)") and [Atlantis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantis_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Atlantis (Marvel Comics)"), and much worldwide havoc. The Eternals helped rescue many humans. An Eternal named [Valkin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valkin "Valkin") was entrusted by the Celestials with an artifact of great power for safekeeping.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] At some point during the early centuries, [Ikaris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikaris "Ikaris") and the Eternals came into conflict with the immortal mutant, [Apocalypse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_\(character\) "Apocalypse (character)"). This conflict ended when Ikaris and the Eternals defeated him. Ikaris believed Apocalypse was dead.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] 1,000 years ago, the [Asgardian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asgardians_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Asgardians (Marvel Comics)") god [Thor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Thor (Marvel Comics)") encountered some Eternals, but the encounter was erased from his mind, to prevent him from learning about the Celestials, who were about to return to Earth. An Eternal named [Ajak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajak "Ajak") became the Celestials' spokesperson, and put himself to sleep when the Celestials left, to wait for their return 1,000 years later to judge humanity.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] During the early 20th century, a human scientist made contact with the Uranian Eternals and was taken to live with them along with his young son, who would later become [Marvel Boy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Boy_\(Robert_Grayson\) "Marvel Boy (Robert Grayson)").[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-27) The Uranians were eventually killed by [Deathurge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathurge "Deathurge").[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-28) After World War II, some Eternals allied with humans and Deviants to form the Damocles Foundation, which tried to create a new breed of superhuman to rule Earth.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-29) Some Eternals, such as [Makkari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makkari_\(character\) "Makkari (character)"), were also active as [superheroes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheroes "Superheroes"), or living amongst humans, keeping their true nature hidden. The Eternals also helped to move the Inhumans' city to the Himalayas to keep it hidden.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] At some point, [Thanos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanos "Thanos") of the Eternals of Titan nearly destroyed their colony, but they rebuilt it, and would help Earth's heroes to oppose him on several occasions.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] In recent times, Ikaris met the archaeologist Daniel Damian and his daughter Margo, and accompanied them into an old Eternal city in the Andes, where he awakened Ajak. Ajak began the process to receive the Celestials. These movements alerted the Deviants, who decided to attack New York and to provoke fear in the humans against the coming celestials.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-30) When the Celestials returned to judge the worthiness of their creations a few years ago, the Eternals found themselves clashing with the Deviants again, and decided to publicly reveal their existence to humanity.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-31) Zuras feared what would happen if the Celestials judged unfavorably. They encountered Thor again, and were attacked by Thor's father [Odin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odin_\(Marvel_Comics\) "Odin (Marvel Comics)") and the Olympian gods, who tried to prevent their interfering with the gods' plans to attack the Celestials. Eventually, the Eternals decided to help the gods and formed a Uni-Mind to assist the [Destroyer's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroyer_\(Thor\) "Destroyer (Thor)") assault on the Celestials.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-32) They were forced to dissolve back into Eternals by the Celestials, and the shock of the attack killed Zuras. Before his spirit fully left the material plane, he instructed his daughter Thena to take his people to explore space. Since then, the Eternals have helped Earth's heroes, particularly the [Avengers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers_\(comics\) "Avengers (comics)"), against several menaces. They also discovered the existence of the Titanian Eternals.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-33) Some time later, the Deviant's aristocracy, led by Brother Tode, attacked Olympia, kidnapping the Eternals and intending to disintegrate them. The hero [Iron Man (James Rhodes)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Machine "War Machine") rescued the Eternals and helped them defeat the deviants. Then the Eternals transformed the deviant's aristocracy into a synthetic cube, killing them.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-34) The Eternals formed a Uni-Mind to discuss their future on earth, after which most of the Eternals (led by Valkin), went to the stars. But a handful – those most heavily involved in Earthly affairs – remained behind on Earth.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-35) Thena came to lead the remaining Eternals but she wasn't very respected by her subjects.[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-36) With the ascension of Priestlord Ghaur as leader of the Deviants, the Eternals joined the Avengers in defeating him after he absorbed the power of a Celestial and tried to gain godhood. Meanwhile, Ikaris questioned Thena for her poor choices as leader of the Eternals. She was subtly being controlled by a brain mine put in her by [Kro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kro_\(character\) "Kro (character)"). After a special ceremony, Ikaris succeeded her as leader of the Earth's Eternals. The lover of Ikaris, Margo Damian, was captured by Ghaur's minions and was killed as a result of a Deviant experiment on her.[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-37) After the death of his daughter, Daniel Damian decided to take revenge against the Deviants and the Eternals. With the help of ancient Eternal machines, he forged a prophecy to incite war between the two races and transformed Ajak in a murderous monster. When his plan was discovered by the Eternals, Ajak reverted to his original form and regretted the killings that he had committed, so he killed Damian and himself.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-38) The Eternals Gilgamesh [\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-39) and Sersi briefly became part of the Superhero team Avengers.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-40) When Sersi became sick with the Mahd Wy'ry disease, a uncurable degenerating Eternal disease, Ikaris and other Eternals tried to bring her to Olympia and perform a rite of Cleansing. Sersi rejected the idea, on the basis that the ritual was designed to kill the infected Eternal, and solicited his family to perform the Gann Josin bond between her and her lover the [Black Knight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Knight_\(Dane_Whitman\) "Black Knight (Dane Whitman)"). Ikaris was furious and performed the bond without consent of the Knight.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-41) Later Thena and other Eternals helped the Avengers in the battle against the Gatherers and Proctor, who was an alternate Black Knight and who infected Sersi with the Mahd Wy'ry disease for spite.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-42) The Eternals fought once more against Ghaur and the Deviants, with the help of the [Heroes for Hire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes_for_Hire "Heroes for Hire"). The mad priest tried to form an Anti-Mind with some captured eternals, to defeat any invasion of the Celestials.[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-43) Later they were at odds with Apocalypse and briefly posed as a superhero team called the New Breed.[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-44) [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b9/New_Eternals_1.png/250px-New_Eternals_1.png)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:New_Eternals_1.png) Cover of New Eternals: Apocalypse Now \#1 (February 2000) by [Joe Bennett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Bennett_\(artist\) "Joe Bennett (artist)") ### Memory loss and the Dreaming Celestial \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Memory loss and the Dreaming Celestial")\] The Eternals began reappearing on Earth in [Neil Gaiman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Gaiman "Neil Gaiman")'s new take on the immortal beings. Most seemed to have no memory of their own history and abilities, except Ikaris, and few records of their previous appearances remain. The Eternal known as [Sprite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_\(Eternal\) "Sprite (Eternal)"), angered at having to remain an eleven-year-old and unable to grow any further, managed to change reality, inducing collective amnesia in the Eternals as well as distorting their perceptions of history. He used a Uni-Mind with the [Dreaming Celestial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiamut "Tiamut") and other unwilling eternals to achieve his desire, transforming himself in a mortal 11 years old kid.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-45) This can possibly be seen as Gaiman's attempt to [retcon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroactive_continuity "Retroactive continuity") some details of the characters; early stories as well as [officially published statistics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OHOTMU "OHOTMU") portrayed most of the current generation of Eternals – such as Ikaris and Thena – as being "only" several tens of thousands of years old but Gaiman's run describes them as being closer to a million years old.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] [Makkari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makkari_\(character\) "Makkari (character)") was working as a medicine intern, Sersi was planning to kickstart her party planner business. Meanwhile, Thena was working as a weapons scientist in [Stark Industries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stark_Industries "Stark Industries"). She was also married and had a young son. Druig was apparently alive again and he was the Deputy minister of Vorozheika (a fictional post-soviet country). Ikaris contacted Makkari, but he did not believe the eternal's words about the past and rejected him.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-46) Then, Makkari met Sersi again, become attracted to her and accompanied her to a party that she was organizing for Druig of Vorozheika. Thena assisted too. In the party, the amnesic Eternals are attacked by mercenaries of another faction of Vorozheika government. The reunion of the four Eternals triggered a recovery of their powers. Ikaris was captured by two deviants and they were experimenting in ways of destroy his body, until that they seemingly killed him with a particle accelerator.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-47) However, Ikaris was resurrected by a special machine in the Antarctic base of the Eternals. With their returned powers, Druig took control of Vorozheika. Thena frees herself from the mercenaries that captured her and Makkari went to talk to Sprite, who now was a young celebrity. Sprite trapped the amnesic Eternal and told him his plans and the reasons why he did the reality changes.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-48) [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/6f/The_Eternals_2.jpg/250px-The_Eternals_2.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Eternals_2.jpg) Variant cover of The Eternals (vol. 5) \#2 (February 2021) by [Jamie McKelvie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_McKelvie "Jamie McKelvie") It was uncovered that Ajak had been revived too and that it had been he who contracted the two Deviants. He succeeded in awakening an amnesic Zuras. The two Deviants managed to kidnap Sprite, and the trapped Makkari, using him to awaken the Dreaming Celestial, who was under Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Upon awakening, the Celestial decided to judge humanity. The Eternals, now remembering their past, arrived in San Francisco, and realizing that they cannot stop the Celestial, decided to leave him be. Makkari was transformed by the Celestial into his spokesman. The Deviants called him Skadrach, and respected him, because the Dreaming Celestial was adored as their god. Sprite was killed by Zuras because of his actions and the rest of the Eternals then embarked on a quest to find and recruit the other members who had similarly forgotten their true selves due to Sprite's trickery.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-49) The Dreaming Celestial told Makkari the reasons for the creation of the Eternals and Deviants, and helped him to find more Eternals. Ajak, jealous of Makkari's new function, manipulated Gilgamesh into killing Makkari. With help of Sersi, Makkari was reborn and the Dreaming Celestial stopped a planned autodestruction.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-50) Then the Eternals stopped the invasion of the Horde.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-51) With their numbers completed, and with the new information given by the Dreaming Celestial, the Eternals debated what to do with mankind and the Deviants—leave them alone, protect them or rule them.[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-52) They formed another Unimind to decide what to do and decided to hold themselves apart from the mortal world.[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-53) When Celestials literally began "raining" down on Earth, the Avengers are forced to reunite again and just in time to see the arrival of the Final Host which is composed of Dark Celestials that are each physically unique and were the ones who easily took down their brethren.[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-54) In an attempt to learn more about these new breed of Celestials, [Iron Man](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Man "Iron Man") and [Doctor Strange](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Strange "Doctor Strange") travelled to the Mountains of Greece to try to get some answers from The Eternals. When Stark and Strange arrived, there were no signs of life to be found as almost all of the Eternals were dead, with Strange deducing that the wounds were self-inflicted. Only Ikaris was left barely alive and reveals that the Eternals were never meant to protect Humanity as they thought. Instead, because the Celestials saw the human population as a useful pathogen to act as antibodies against the Horde, the Eternals were created to defend the process under the false impression that they were actually protecting the human race. This discovery drove all Eternals mad which either made them turn against each other or commit suicide. Ikaris is also able to reveal that the only way to prevent the Final Host from unleashing the Horde is the Uni-Mind and sends a message into Stark's mind before dying.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-55) ### Resurrection and their confrontation with Thanos \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Resurrection and their confrontation with Thanos")\] After the events of The Final Host, The Eternals are then revived by the Machine with no memories of their recent events. As Ikaris retrieved Sprite, Zuras was mysteriously murdered, forcing Ikaris and Sprite to retrieve others after encountering the Mad Titan Thanos. Phastos was the first Eternal reborn and learned the shocking truth about the Machine. Every time an Eternal was resurrected from their death, one human life was taken in return, resulting in a devastating outcome. Shocked by this revelation, Phastos vowed to end it by ending the Eternals. So, he rescued Thanos from a black hole and blackmailed the Mad Titan into helping him with his scheme. However, Phastos' plans have backfired when Thanos killed Phastos to hide the truth and worked with Druig to depose Zuras. The Eternals learned the truth after Ikaris sacrificed himself to repair the machine.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] When the issue was argued with the Prime Eternal Zuras after his resurrection, it was determined that most Eternals would never agree to change it, as Eternals didn't care about the lives of individual humans. So, several Eternals met with the Deviants of Lemuria, asking them how to become like them. They also learned that Deviants have unstable mutations that the Eternals are programmed by the principles to kill them. Thanos is then elected as the new Prime and succeeded by Unity Mind and disposed of his uncle Zuras as a result. The group infiltrates the Avengers' base to confront Progenitor and learned why the Celestials created the Eternals. While the Eternals stall the Avengers, Ajak gains access to the Progenitor's consciousness and uncovers the truth of their origin. She learned that when the Progenitor died from sickness, the necrofluid began to contaminate life on Earth, which resulted in excess deviation and mutation. The Celstials began designing the Deviants to stabilize the necrofluid, while the Eternals served as antibodies to eliminate the Deviants if the mutations were unstable. After gaining knowledge, the Eternals confronted Thanos, and Druig secretly created a failsafe on Thanos' armory if the latter orchestrated his betrayal. After Thanos' defeat, Druig took over as Prime and began to suspect the mutants' settlement on Krakoa as Deviants, wishing to eliminate them.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] ### A.X.E.: Judgment Day \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: A.X.E.: Judgment Day")\] ## Powers and abilities \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(comics\)&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: Powers and abilities")\] Due to the cosmic energy that suffuses an Eternal's body and the unbreakable mental hold they have over their physiological processes, the Eternals of Earth are effectively immortal.[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-56) They live for millennia, do not fatigue from physical exertion, are immune to [disease](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disease "Disease") and [poison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison "Poison"), and are unaffected by environmental extremes of cold and heat. Most cannot be injured by conventional weaponry, and even if they somehow are, an Eternal can rapidly regenerate any damage as long as they are able to retain their mental hold over their bodies; this mental bond can be broken. In the 2006 series it was also stated that Eternals are able to absorb oxygen directly from water, and therefore cannot drown. In the same series, Ikaris was plunged into molten metal and experienced great pain, but no physical injury, which the Deviants attributed to a forcefield which protects Ikaris even when unconscious. It is unclear if all Eternals share this degree of protection.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] At one time, the official limit to the Eternals' durability was such that they could only be permanently destroyed by dispersing their bodies' molecules over a wide area.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-57) This degree of extreme durability was revealed to have increased to a much greater degree; as demonstrated in the 2006 Eternals limited series,[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2006_2-58) it is shown that even total molecular dispersal is insufficient to destroy an Eternal. As long as "The Machine" (a restoration device of Celestial origin; possibly the Earth itself)[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2006_6-59) keeps running, any destroyed Eternal will eventually return, as was the case with Ikaris after he was completely vaporized by a [particle accelerator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_accelerator "Particle accelerator") as part of a series of "experiments" performed upon him by the Deviants.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] This same cosmic energy can be channeled for a number of superhuman abilities, including superhuman physical abilities, immortality, flight, energy projection, mind control, teleportation, illusion creation, and elemental transmutation. In addition, groups of Eternals, as few as three at a time,[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2006_6-59) can transform into the [Uni-Mind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_psychology "Gestalt psychology"), a combination of minds that is greater than its constituent parts.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] Some Eternals choose to focus on a particular power to increase their effectiveness with it. [Sersi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sersi "Sersi"), for example, has developed the power of transmutation further than any other Eternal. Additionally, some Eternals choose to focus their cosmic energies into other, non-standard abilities. [Ikaris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikaris "Ikaris"), for example, channels cosmic energy to greatly enhance his senses, while [the Interloper](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interloper_\(comics\) "Interloper (comics)") uses his to generate fear in others, and [Makkari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makkari_\(character\) "Makkari (character)") uses his cosmic energies for superspeed.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] The 2006 [retcon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retcon "Retcon") of the Eternals' origins and abilities introduces a significant limitation to their powers, and possibly to their free will, with numerous references to Eternals being "programmed" or "hardwired." They cannot attack their Celestial "masters" for any reason, whether they make a conscious decision to do so or are tricked into accidentally striking the beings.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2006_4-60)[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-61) Any such attempt shuts down the body of the attacking Eternal and is implied to be an automatic defense mechanism of the Celestials' armor.[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-62) On one occasion, when the Eternals attempted to form a Uni-Mind with the intent of keeping the [Dreaming Celestial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiamut "Tiamut") asleep, they were shut down and reverted to their original forms. Furthermore, Eternals are compelled to attack and neutralize any being that attacks a Celestial.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-63) As presented in Gaiman's Volume 3, the Eternals are aware of their role on Earth and the duties and constraints placed on them by the Celestials. Ikaris describes himself as the Earth's repair and maintenance unit.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2006_4-60) Zuras phrased the same concept more philosophically: "We are the Eternals. We are the court of last resort for humanity and for all living things on Earth. \[...\] We do not choose sides. Countries are lines in the sand, empires rise and fall. We are timeless. We will still be here tomorrow, and a hundred centuries from now."[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-2006_6-59) The Eternals are split between five different generationals groups:[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-64) - First Generation Eternal (those born before the fall of Titanos): Arlok, Astron, Daina, Kronos/Chronos/Chronus, Master Elo, Oceanus, Shastra, Thyrio, Uranos. - Second Generation Eternal (those alive at the time of Chronus's experiment): [Mentor (A'lars)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentor_\(A%27lars\) "Mentor (A'lars)"), Amaa, Cybele, [Forgotten One](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgotten_One_\(character\) "Forgotten One (character)")/Gilgamesh, Helios, Perse, Rakar, Tulayn, Valkin, Virako, Zuras. - Third Generation Eternal (those born after Chronos's experiment but before the Second Host): Aginar, [Ajak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajak "Ajak"), Arex, Atlo, Domo, [Ikaris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikaris "Ikaris"), Interloper, Mara, [Phastos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phastos "Phastos"), Sigmar, [Thanos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanos "Thanos"), [Thena](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thena "Thena"), Veron, Zarin, Eros - Fourth Generation Eternal (those born after the coming of the Second Host, 20,000 years ago): Argos, Ceyote, Chi Demon, the Delphan brothers, [Druig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druig "Druig"), Khoryphos, [Makkari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makkari_\(character\) "Makkari (character)"), Psykos, [Sersi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sersi "Sersi"), [Kingo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingo_Sunen "Kingo Sunen") Sunen, El Vampiro. - Fifth Generation Eternal (those born after the coming of the Third Host, 3,000 years ago): Aurelle, [Sprite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_\(Eternal\) "Sprite (Eternal)"), Titanis. - [Arthur C. Clarke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_C._Clarke "Arthur C. Clarke")'s book [Childhood's End](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood%27s_End "Childhood's End") from 1953 provided inspiration, including the idea of "Overlords" who control Earth's fate and will reveal themselves further after a 50-year waiting period, the idea of demons being humanity's memory of another species, and the "Overmind" concept which seems to influence the comic's "Uni-Mind". - Mercury and Hurricane, two characters depicted by Jack Kirby through [Timely Comics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timely_Comics "Timely Comics"), the 1940s predecessor of Marvel, were [retconned](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroactive_continuity "Retroactive continuity") as being guises of the Eternal Makkari.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-65) Jeremy Brown of [Game Rant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Rant "Game Rant") ranked the Eternals 6th in their "Marvel: Best Superhero Teams" list.[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-66) Marc Buxton of [Den of Geek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den_of_Geek "Den of Geek") ranked the Eternals 7th in their "Guardians of the Galaxy 3: 50 Marvel Characters We Want to See" list.[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-67) The Eternals comic book series won Best Lettering and was nominated for Best Archival Collection/Project—Comic Books at the 2007 [Eisner Awards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisner_Awards "Eisner Awards").[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-68)[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-69)[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-70) Marc Buxton of [Den of Geek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den_of_Geek "Den of Geek") stated, "Jack Kirby delivered the original electrifying Eternals saga. Other than a Hulk robot (because reasons), there was no mention of the Marvel Universe anywhere in this series. But this was Kirby at his 1970s finest, getting all metaphysical and theological as he combined his imaginative saga with real world legend. Sersi does also turn a man's face into Ben Grimm's The Thing face in her introduction."[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-:1-71) According to [Diamond Comic Distributors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Comic_Distributors "Diamond Comic Distributors"), Eternals \#1 was the 17th best selling comic book in June 2006.[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-72)[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-73)[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-74) Eternals \#2 was the 28th best selling comic book in July 2006.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-75)[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-76)[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-77) Eternals \#3 was the 28th best selling comic book in August 2006.[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-78)[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-79)[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-80) Jared Gaudreau of [Comic Book Resources](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_Book_Resources "Comic Book Resources") asserted, "The seven-issue mini-series covered previous themes like creation and did an excellent job expanding Eternals lore and adding numerous new side characters. One of those great additions came in the form of a love interest for Thena named Thomas Eliot."[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-81) Marc Buxton of [Den of Geek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Den_of_Geek "Den of Geek") wrote, "This is a must read for any fan of American Gods as Gaiman and Romita examine recurring themes of mythology made real and they channel it all through a magnificent Kirby lens. Do not be surprised if the coming film borrows liberally from this fantastic series."[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-:1-71) Colin Cheney of [Fatherly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatherly "Fatherly") said, "The series is a good, grounded way to enter the Eternals-verse: Romita's art is appropriately bombastic, and we get some good bang-pow comics action—but it's also pretty talky (because it's Neil Gaiman). But also because it's Neil Gaiman we get a nice right hook to the jaw of the problematic inspiration behind Kirby's original comic."[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-:0-82) According to [Diamond Comic Distributors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Comic_Distributors "Diamond Comic Distributors"), Eternals \#1 was the 52nd best selling comic book in June 2008.[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-83)[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-84)[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-85) K.

In this short-lived comic, the Eternals are more intimately tied to the X-Men, with stories that crossed over with the mutant's time in San Francisco. When the Dreaming Celestial awakens and towers over the mutant home city, it forces the Eternals to take action. Not one of the most well-known runs, and it only lasted eight issues and one Annual. But it is worth a read for sure."[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-87) According to data combined from all [direct market](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_market "Direct market") distributors, Eternals \#1 was the 4th best selling comic book in January 2021.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-88)[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-89) Matthew Sibley of [Newsarama](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsarama "Newsarama") asserted, "Eternals \#1 is not just a fresh start for the creative team and for potential readers, but also for the Eternals themselves to define who they are."[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#cite_note-90) Barry Thompson of [Polygon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_\(website\) "Polygon (website)") said, "In terms of execution, Eternals \#1 is extremely good.

The storytelling is sharp and clear: Gillen has a witty, wry way of letting his characters reveal themselves and the wider world.
