Eternals Clothing, Accessories & Figures

The Eternals are an ancient race of super-beings, created by the legendary Jack Kirby for the Marvel Universe. Their origin dates back millions of years ago, when the Celestials, a cosmic race of omnipotent beings, visited Earth and experimented with human DNA. These experiments led to the creation of three races: Humans, Deviants (an unstable and monstrous race), and Eternals. The Eternals were intended to be the protectors of Earth and humanity from the Deviants and other cosmic threats. They are immortal, possess incredible powers derived from cosmic energy, and have lived hidden for thousands of years, observing humanity's evolution.

The Eternals are endowed with a wide range of superhuman powers stemming from the cosmic energy that flows within them. All Eternals possess superhuman strength, stamina, speed, and durability, as well as psi-resistance. They are immortal and invulnerable to disease, capable of regenerating almost any injury and controlling the molecular structure of their bodies. They can also project cosmic energy in various forms (e.g., beams, blasts), fly, and utilize telepathy. A unique ability is the formation of the Uni-Mind, a collective consciousness created when they unite mentally, multiplying their power for a common goal.

The relationship between the Eternals, Deviants, and Celestials is the foundational background of their mythology in the Marvel Universe. The Celestials are the creators of both races, having engineered the Eternals as a stable, evolved, and beautiful race with powerful abilities, while the Deviants are the result of their unstable and monstrous experiments. The Eternals were tasked with protecting Earth and monitoring humanity's evolution, while the Deviants often serve as their primary adversaries and a source of chaos. Their relationship is an ongoing conflict between the stable and the deviant, with the Celestials returning periodically to judge the progress of their creation.

The team of Eternals includes many notable members, each with unique abilities and personalities:

• Ikaris: The most dedicated to the Eternals' mission, known for his cosmic energy blasts from his eyes and flight ability. He is often considered their "de facto" leader.
• Sersi: A cosmopolitan Eternal who loves interacting with humans, with the ability to transmute matter and manipulate energy.
• Thena: A fierce warrior, leader of the Eternals of Athens, with the ability to create weapons from cosmic energy.
• Makkari: The fastest of all Eternals, with superhuman speed, who uses her ability to explore and interact with the world.
• Phastos: The technological genius, responsible for constructing the weapons and technology of the Eternals.
• Ajak: The spiritual leader of the group, capable of communicating directly with the Celestials.

These characters, among others, form a diverse and powerful ensemble that protects the planet.

The Eternals have starred in many pivotal stories in the Marvel Universe, though their influence has become more pronounced in recent years. Jack Kirby's original comic series (1976-1978) is the foundation of their mythology, introducing the Celestials and Deviants. They have interacted with other Marvel heroes, such as the Avengers and Thor, often as mysterious forces intervening in cosmic threats. More recently, the series by Kieron Gillen and Esad Ribić (2020) revitalized the title, delving into the complexity of their existence and revealing dark secrets about their role on Earth. These stories established the Eternals as an essential part of Marvel's cosmic landscape.

The future for the Eternals in the Marvel Universe is full of possibilities, especially following the revitalization of their presence both in comics and through their cinematic film in the MCU. In comics, their complex mythology and the revelation of their dark past continue to influence cosmic narratives, integrating them into larger events and connecting them with other characters and teams. The MCU film increased their recognition, opening the door for potential future appearances and expansions of their story in the cinematic universe. The Eternals will continue to be a key to understanding Marvel'scosmic scale, the Celestials, and the true history of Earth.
