I hope they have the colourful and sometimes gaudy costumes. No black leather.
Give the guy who is in blue, yellow and red (or whatever colours they are) that same costume. I can't remember his name. I can only ever remember Sersi.
Agreed! I’m sure they will. It will be interesting to see how they blend the captain marvel type looks with something a bit more godlike. Maybe whack a toga on or something?
I think you're talking about IkarisWho is that colourful Eternal I described above with all the bright colours? I can never remember his name. I think he has blond hair too.
Sersi is the only Eternal I can ever remember. Maybe because she was also in the Avengers.
I think the Jim Rhodes Iron Man teamed up with them too in an annual. I had that issue but can't remember a thing about it.
So way back in Ancient times, the Celestials (giant space gods most clearly seen when the Collector was describing the origins of the Infinity Stones) came to Earth and did experimentation. The experimentation turned humans into three groups - Eternals, Deviants, and regular humans..Regular humans had the potential to mutate (i.e., mutants as we think of them in comics). Eternals were basically gods and were in fact confused for the Greek gods. Deviants are uglier looking (for lack of a better word). When the Celestials came to another planet, the Deviants of that planet became the shape-changing Skrulls. Eventually, the Celestials will return to Earth and judge the planet and decide whether to destroy all life on it.
I should add that Jason Aaron is currently retconning some of this history, but it's early enough in the process that I don't feel comfortable judging what's real and not real in his presentation since it's told by an unreliable narrator
Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that one aspect to the story involves the love story between Ikaris, a man fueled by cosmic energy, and Sersi, who relishes moving amongst humans.
The project also allows Marvel to assemble a diverse cast of various shapes and sizes.
Who is/are the most badass Eternal-character(s)?
His dad is Mentor (Alars).
Gilgamesh, Ikaris, and Sersi are the three that I immediately remember of the Earth-based Eternals with Ikaris and Sersi being the most famous.
It’s interesting there’s a split. Feige said in an interview that Ikaris thinks the eternals should keep themselves on their own version of mount Olympus basically but Sersi thinks they should schmooze with the earth people.
Maybe the mutants are descendants of Sersi?
That's interesting since them coming to be by way of experiments is what their origins in the comics really is. I guess since they discussed that happening many moons ago you might feel more disconnected from that as a start, but it's their start nonetheless. I actually think just having them mutate out nothingness and just start randomly having powers seems like lazy writing and too random to be believable so i really hope they just don't go that route. Either way you slice it, they got thier hands full coming up w/a great way to explain their exsistence in modern times, no matter what some peeps won't be happy. But I'm hoping they come up w/a way that most people think is a good idea.I would prefer if mutants were just that mutants. The next stage in human evolution where they have naturally just mutated giving them special powers. For me having them be of mixed blood or being experimented on takes something away from the story. The story is for me about humans fear of them which is to a certain extent unfounded as eventually all humans would evolve to have these gifts. It is a fight against the inevitable and becomes somewhat of a tragedy.
